That is some A* sleuthing.

yeah maybe you were right CalGo. 

[Livvy13]

There's no indication that she wasn't in the UK either though also that was the weekend the feud with Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun became public and to be honest I doubt she would've been partying at Glasto when all that kicked off. Unless she was there earlier in the weekend and then left when she got wind of all of that. 

I want her to be there so badly and it could happen but don't think that she would've been on site this year.

Having sunglasses designed by Stella McCartney doesn’t mean she has to be with her to wear them.

Then how do you explain George from Asda sitting on the end of my bed as I put on my pants this morning, huh?

My guess would be that she's tagged SMC in the pic.  More that if they aren't her design then why else would she tag her if she wasn't with her?

True, although "calm" 'aint a word I usually associate with the Friday if Glastonbury. Even if I were trying to pretend I'm super zen about a public fued. But, I am also not aware of the rules of Instagram, so what the fuck do I know. 

Personally, while I totally get that Taylor is a big win for the festival, she doesn't float my boat. If it's her and The 1975 I'm close to another straight run of no pyramid headliners. That's never really bothered me in the past, but after the magic of Radiohead, it would be nice if there was one to get stuck into. 

I'm still firmly in Team FM. Can't really see why they would have mentioned it at their own gig if it was something that was gonna happen in a few years time like. Now, watch them clash with Nine Inch Nails or someone to totally ruin my weekend. 

[Room to sway]

What does everyone's mum think of the sunglasses and how popular are they in Europe?

[Livvy13]

Has anyone thought of the other possibility of that Taylor post? 

i.e. using a link up with Stella to announced that she's subbing Macca on the Friday? 

Macca, FM & Elton anyone? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know this isn't happening but it's still fun to speculate.

That's the question, wiseguy.

I've never worn stella macca sunglasses without the lady herself actually being there.

Did briefly, but then she found me and made me give them back.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Did anyone here work on the movie Cats? They might be able to confirm why Swizzle would be in the UK in late June.

[jj200]

I know this is unlikely but could Kasabian do a secret set.

I didn't work on it but I'm pretty sure that filming finished in April so unless there were last minute re-shoots who knows why she would be in the UK late June. Failing that she could've just fancied a trip over here as she does love the UK.

New album probably out next year, big British band, no chance they'll play an announced set because it would be headline or nothing (and that's definitely not happening). Gotta be one of the favourites for a secret set.

[priest17]

I wouldn't have minded seeing Serge do a solo set lower down somewhere to be honest, seems like his solo thing is brushed aside for new band stuff though.

Why is them headlining definitely not happening?

Well, it's not *definitely* not happening. I just think the chances are incredibly low for all the obvious reasons, but a secret set would make sense.

Not everyone loves them but for me and others they absolutely smashed the headline slot in 2014. Big British band and would be a good set again since Kasabian are band that put on a show and granted it isn't the best headliner in peoples eyes, especially on here but there isn't no chance it will happen. Unlikely happening granted but Stormzy returning festival after with one album wasn't likely but it happened. I would prefer it than 75 or Foals because 75 I am not the biggest fan of and Foals I have seen too many times and I would love to see Kasabian headline it again since it looked mental. Secret set would make more sense and probably is likely in JP or Park again. Park would be insane. If they do headline I wouldn't complain about something like this:

FRI: Kasabian

SAT: Fleetwood Mac

SUN: Elton John

What are all the obvious reasons?

Wouldn't say definitely not, but if you arranged all the potentials for next year by order of likelihood they'd be fairly low down the list.

They've haven't pushed on since their last set, a couple of albums which have hardly set the world alight and there doesn't seem to be a huge clamour to have them back what would be pretty soon.

My suspicion is there a few bands the Eavii would turn to before returning the Serge and the lads.

[Doug85]

We need a list of all the potentials with the reason for and against...

FWIW I think:

Fleetwood Mac

Elton John

1975

Pet Shop Boys or Spice Girls in the legend slot.

You're gonna make me do this? Haha. Okay then...

• There are plenty of options I think the festival would prefer and go to first, especially if there is any emphasis on the 50th anniversary
• Kasabian's stock has only fallen since they last headlined, they're no longer even one of the UK's top bands and have been overtaken (by most metrics and I'm sure popular opinion) by other contenders (the 1975, for example)
• They've already done it and not too long ago - they don't even have the new headliner thing going for them
• They won't offer diversity that I think Glastonbury will look for (yeah, I know plenty of other candidates don't either, but it does bring down the probability a bit in much the same way not being a new headliner does)

Yes, it is possible. Just very very very unlikely imo.
