On before Snow Patrol as JP sub, bumped up to 3rd on Other I reckon

Could be, and that would mean she goes on stage just after Kylie. Could end up with a mahoosive crowd.

Christ on a bike, let's hope not. She is everything but an Other Stage artist!

She's Park first, JP second, WH third and could just about do Acoustic but it would be leftfield (not Leftfield, you understand...although...).

Fingers crossed she's not singing towards Oxlyers...

Yes, this 100%. 

But bring Leftfield back live, really enjoyed their set in Sonic years back!

Billie could 100% headline but probs won't imo.

I'm pretty embarrassed that I still have no idea who Billie is. Can anyone enlighten me? Top tracks to check out?

Instructions:

• Get the album on Spotify
• Lose your shit
• Head to the Billie Eilish thread
• Tell everyone you can't fucking wait and it's gonna be sick

PS. Give 'don't smile at me' a spin as well as this has many certified bangers on it also.

Was just doing my own little prediction.  I reckon Sunday Other is going to be Christine and the Queens headlining and Billie Eilish subbing.

You'd imagine with all the equality talk that it'll be a female act Sunday Other with the slot becoming available?

Christine and the queens?

C&tQs is about the only one on the poster who seems likely to me.

Makes sense doesn’t it.  She’s headlining All Points east too.  Could be the pyramid sub too I guess 

[Mattymooz]

Would be an odd clash with Janelle though (but I guess maybe it cant be helped).

EDIT: Would also have been a weird clash with Lana assuming that day is where she was supposed to be subbing too so idk

In terms of Lana, I don't think they'd have originally clashed as Chems would have Sunday.

Be good if someone could do a thread for each stage and have a general concensus title post which could be edited to reflect the most recent expectations or guess. Be good to see how close it was when announced. I can never keep up.

I initially read your comment and thought you were joking, but I've just had a look at her Spotify numbers...Jesus Christ. Those numbers are insane! I have no idea where that puts her on the running order, but headlining the Other suddenly doesn't seem to daft.. 

Wow, they really are. Was going to make the point about how low they make Stormzy’s look, then realised how much higher they are than The Cure, then even the Killers (bar Mr Brightside and even then not by that much).

Of course it doesn’t directly translate to a festival billing but seriously impressive none the less.

Anything lower than 2nd/3rd on Other or JP headliner and I’d be amazed. 

I think you're pretty likely to be amazed then. They have too many acts to keep happy to do live popularity-based scheduling.

[Watergirl]

Re Billie Eilish - call me old-fashioned but a headliner who has released one album? Just doesn’t seem right.

[Sasperella]

I was kind of hoping that there would be something unexpected for the Sunday night Other headliner.

Maybe I'll just have to party hard and hit the SE corner, and massively regret it come Tuesday morning at my desk

[wairey]

Fairly sure Billie won't be on John Peel, this was from Emily Eavis' interview with Jo Whiley on BBC R2: "We're currently moving her – she's on John Peel at the moment but she's much too big, really, for the slot" 

[Bradders]

Emily said in an interview that Billie was originally booked for JP but now being moved to Other, so that’s definitely the stage she’s on.

Edit: beaten to it

Will be fuming if C&tQ are headlining and clash with Janelle / The Cure.

This!! I'm already getting myself in a tiz over The Cure/Janelle. Don't add in other bands that I really, really want to see especially as I told my husband this afternoon that if I have clashes that I can't decide what to do with that I'm going to make myself see something utterly random instead. At this rate they'll all be playing at the same time and I'll be in speakers corner cursing myself for my indecision. 

[jparx]

Billie will, at least, be playing after Kylie. Emily isn't going to move her from the JPT to clash with Kylie on the Other stage. I think she will be 3rd down at least.

Subbing CATQ would be an awesome double header, but a painful headliner clash.

Same- could Christine and the queens be on the pyramid subbing the cure? 

[jparx]

Just on a slight tangent - I think we'll be surprised by quite a few placements on this lineup this year. There's clearly been some shifting around behind the scenes and I can see a number of placements being different from what we're thinking.

4th down on Other also avoids a clash too, wouldn't be surprised to see her in that slot either

absolutely. And a few people saying "X will never play before y" will end up looking a little silly because they are clearly not ordering the stages by popularity/"size" alone.
