Could be way off the mark here but was there a thing at one point about a solo Male headliner who hadn’t played before?
 

Creamfields announced Calvin Harris as a U.K. dance festival exclusive today which is weirdly niche and almost like they’re desperate to claim some kind of exclusive so we know he’s playing somewhere else. Could obviously be TRNSMT, IOW or any other big festival in the U.K. but could it also be Glasto? 

Somebody on a Glastonbury Facebook group claimed to have heard he was headlining Other Stage on the Saturday night a month or so back, so this ‘dance festival exclusive’ adds weight to that. He won’t be headlining the Pyramid.

Other headliner if anything surely rather than Pyramid.

Calvin played back in 2007. Not him.

Calvin will be secret set

People can probably stop tying themselves in knots trying to conjure up someone that isn't Kendrick.

Trnsmt and Isle of Wight have announced their headliners.

But he could also play radio 1 big weekend or reading and Leeds.

This.

Any chance of Green Day to headline the Friday? I know they have a gig that night but is there any chance?

No chance.

It would be pandemonium wherever he played except Other (or Pyramid).

I can see him in the same vein as Deadmau5 & Skrillex that have played the Other in the past. Which might rule out Massive attack as a headliner.

He played his live set back then, very different to what he does now. Maybe the Eavii forgot.

[squirrelarmy]

Not that fussed about Kendrick however if he show’s up with Dre and Eminem I’ll probably give it a go. If not you’ll find me in the naughty corner. 

[Bisque]

As long as Eminem doesn’t mime.

Some efesters in the past have said he will never play due to his homophobic lyrics etc but this is another level. It could happen for an encore but I can’t see it happening.

 

Three massive acts on one stage.

Has this been discussed and overly thought about on here?

Does Kendrick do 3 nights on the trot - does anyone know what day he is playing Lollapalooza?

He often did 3, 4 and even 5 nights on the run on his last tour, and I'm not sure what day he's playing there myself but I'm fairly certain it isn't the Friday.

[SwedgeAntilles]

He's playing Sunday at Lolla

[Matt42]

@Nobody Interesting he’s playing lolla Stockholm on the Sunday and somewhere else on the Saturday.

The Strokes have just been announced for a few European festivals all around Glasto time. Other stage headliner surely?

I wouldn't say no, but surely ain't the word. Remote chance more likely.

Sounds like they're doing their own show in the UK next summer according to the drummer. Unless he was BSing they won't be at Glastonbury.

6 music before Christmas. I know, they're doing NOS as well but he was specifically on about the UK.

It was a very brief Music News segment. Tbh no one else seems to have heard it so I'm starting to think I made it up 😂 but yeah he was definitely on and asked one of those coy questions like "will we see you in a muddy field next summer", which is obviously referencing Glastonbury, and he waffled something about wanting to do something for their own fans instead of a big festival.

Only to people obsessed with Glastonbury. To just about everyone else and especially non-UK people it's more likely to be taken as a generic reference to festivals in general.

It's like when half the forum convinced themselves that Fleetwood Mac were confirmed because Mick used the expression "muddy field" on stage a few times, as if he could only be thinking about Glastonbury when he was stood in front of 20,000 people at Madison Square Garden.
