Really can't imagine this

Sorry guys, why I put sub I'm unsure...think I was confused in my post tired state....I meant the Legend slot.

Phil Collins or Billy Joel?

2020 predictions:

Licencing will be granted for a full lineup on Thursday,  giving 4 full days of entertainment. 

Sunday afternoon slot - Spice Girls, with the full lineup including Victoria. 

 

[MEGABOWL]

Why did I hear Celine Dion mentioned a couple of times over the weekend as in line for next year?

To continue the trend from 2019... Every set will be made to have Chris Martin as a special guest. ?

Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but would the groover from Vancouver Bryan Adams make a fist of the legends slot? Summer of 69 was on the radio earlier

I know, right.

I was fairly spangled so I'll happily admit a misidentification if I got it wrong. My group were all in the Inn on the Green and so I've got no verification. They were all rightly sceptical. 

Her latest Instagram post tags Stella McCartney, but that's maybe just her shades.

I buy it. I was getting my life watching The Cure, if I really think about it then the only possible way I could reach that emotional state is if in some subconscious way, I was getting waves from Her.

Feel like the entire field would be silently waiting the whole set for the titanic song..

[robillustrates]

Friday - Swifty
Saturday - McCartney
Sunday - Coldplay
Legend - Pet Shop Boys

Personally hope they give up the Madonna dream. Has a ring of Prince about it where they chase and chase and end up settling for 2nd, 3rd choice headliners instead as they scramble around for something at the last minute.  

Madonna would be a huge booking for sure, but would it actually benefit the festival any more than getting a different female US star? Gaga, Swift, Grande etc? They would probably charge less, and the festival won't make even more money with Madonna since it sells out anyway. They all seem much more likely to jump on board and go all in.

Still going for Blur, Swift and FM. Backup options to those three would be Kendrick, Gaga and Neil Young.

[Mattymooz]

Kendrick has to be in with a shout surely (if hes willing to take the pay cut)? Must have a new album on the way before then

[jaimebionic]

think we should have a first for glasto for their 50th year and have all female headliners, maybe swift, gaga and madonna. it would be fun just to see all the MRAs get triggered about forcing a feminist agenda even though 3 male headliners have been the norm for the last 50 years!!

legend slot, has to be Diana Ross surely!

I realise people are focused on big, legendary names for obvious reasons, but I can't help but think we'll see one of the nights go to a more standard / regular festival act - a "Glastonbury favourite" for lack of a better way of putting it. It's now been long enough since the Arctics last played that they could be in line for it again, and I'm still convinced that they're going to bring Flo back in the next 2 or 3 years so that she gets her own full spotlight. Depends on album / touring cycles of course, but I have to assume we're going to see each of them some time soon.

The National are one of my favourite bands, but not a hope in hell they're headlining in the next few years.

[foolee]

Think it'll be The 1975 / Fleetwood Mac / Paul McCartney however I'd like to see and be over the moon if they booked Green Day - Billie Joe was there over this weekend to watch his sons band SWMRS and spent the Saturday looking around the site.

this year would have been perfect for FATM to headline, 4 years since they stepped up for Foo Fighters, and on a European tour this summer after releasing an album last year. very unlikely to have an album out before 2020, so probably 2021 at the earliest.

[zero000]

Doubt it will be as big as we think it could be. Madonna could smash it if she brings the hits, but if she does a standard stadium show setlist it will bomb. Early prediction:

 

Foals

Fleetwood Mac

Coldplay

[Pipine]

Madonna 

Fleetwood Mac

Foals

(I wish)

Celine would work better in a Janet slot than a legends slot.
