Nobody is mentioning Arcade Fire.

They've headlined before, love the festival, will likely have a new album out or nearly out by June 2020, which'll make it 6 years since their last appearance at the farm. Maybe they're who Emily is referring to in that tweet...

Not who I've heard....

Really don't see them as being big enough. Seem the type to do it just the once.

Unless I'm reading that wrong, it appears Arcadia can run on Thursdays from 10am-3am?

Looks like it, yep - though they may not be able to turn the volume up past a certain point - there's still restrictions on the size of sound systems used on Thursday which is covered elsewhere in the licence.

Daft Punk, isn't it ;) 

I thought Parsonjack said it was someone unremarkable?

I notice he dodged the mention of Neil Young :P

actually surprised it's not on that Skybet market after Michael mentioning him the other day.

I know he's not the novelty of Kylie, Lionel, Dolly, but could he do the legends slot? he's co-headlining a few gigs with Bob Dylan soon, although playing before Dylan at them it seems, so probably wouldn't demand to be outright headliner at Glastonbury again? and also Michael's "I think he's coming back next year" doesn't sound as much like a headliner...

Could do with some underwhelming rumours to put people off tickets in October. So my guess is

Chris Martin reading the history of Coldplay

Lil Nas X feat Chris Martin

Alex from Glasto 

Legend: ELO

 

the first three would probably make it harder to get ticket TBH, given the general public.....

throw in Maura from Love Island for legend and you can pretty much forget about getting tickets!

I had the same thought, but mentioning headline level acts for the legend slot tends to get you shouted at and mocked on here.

I think Young would be ACE in the legends slot. Young as the legend and FM headlining would be quite the get.

Another bonkers thought is Coldplay doing the legend slot. Seems like the kinda whacky thing Chris Martin would be game for.

Ok...need to re-phrase...the name I've heard (if true) would be unexpected and would raise a few questioning eyebrows...but would be otherwise welcomed by a lot of punters....especially if rumours of fresh material before then are realised.

We're all focusing on the 50th being a pantheon of stellar headliners who haven't played before...kind of save the best for the big party...but what if GFL chose to celebrate in a more retrospective manner.....a kind of 'best bits'....?

Prob said too much now....but it isn't Marc Bolan and T-Rex.

The first ever headliner would make sense though...

Does sound like The Kinks to me.

Edit - never mind, they're on that betting list.

      I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD

      I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over.

      Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
