He could still be the third ?

That actually narrows its down significantly. Hard to see past Taylor now. I reckon Taylor and The 1975

The 1975 have played twice before.

In conversation with Jo Whiley at BBC Music Introducing Live, Eavis said that two out of three Pyramid headliners have been booked, and that neither of them have played there before. 

Christ it's Kendrick and Taylor Swift isn't it

[jparx]

Tbh that’s well exciting! Swift, 1975 and Kenny all well in play now.

Have they actually pulled off Swift and Kendrick?!

Gigwise say...

The Macca Haggle may be more about whether he's playing gigs summer 2020 at all rather than about his fee.

Haven’t played according to the link.

Should make speculation easier.

Shit I thought it was headlined!

Also, this must good as rule out Coldplay. If there's a bit of an ongoing negotiation about the final headliner, there's no way Chris Martin would even pretend to hesitate when receiving a phone call from Emily.

[Matt42]

Two that haven’t played the festival before.

Gutted to say... that probably solves the Foals debate.

Sound the Eavis generic, non statement klaxon!

They could always be the backup for the 3rd headliner.

Cor. Rules out Foals and The 1975.

That rules out Coldplay if they’re not already booked. Unless Coldplay are just hanging around as a reserve in case the main target doesn’t happen.

5/2 on Taylor, Kendrick, Macca... worth it?

[jparx]

Could maybe bring Guns n Roses in to the frame?

It is a pretty short list of potential candidates now. I think Taylor is almost as good as confirmed now...

[JSmurphy]

 

[CJTM]

Pearl Jam's name still in the hat by today's news ?

& Aerosmith as well I guess

[SwedgeAntilles]

Kenny's high spot in the betting markets makes sense. 

[wro_lap]

Even if Kendrick hasn't announced any shows for next year, surely he's still the front runner over Aerosmith? Surely? Shirley?

is "there" the pyramid, or the festival?

[Matt42]

Right we need to work out where the Kendrick info came from. I remember someone saying he was doing it before the bookies changed.

Someone might have had good info and we completely missed it. It deffo wasn’t just the bookies that made us think Kendrick there was something else!

edit: also with brief hints he’s in the frame for prim it’s all falling into place!

Someone heard it was Kendrick, Taylor Swift and Aerosmith were popping up somewhere.
