Feeling this for the pyramid lineup considering some more acts who have announced dates and seem likely. Mainly because Skepta is about taking massive slots  and we aren’t really putting him on lineups at the moment.

Friday: Kendrick Lamar / Dua Lipa / Alicia Keys / Yusuf Cat Stevens

Saturday: Paul McCartney / Noel Gallagher / Aerosmith / Gwen Stefani

Sunday: Taylor Swift / Skepta / Lewis Capaldi / Diana Ross / HAIM.

Starting to think AJ Tracey could probably headline JP. I had him down as an other / 3rd down sub because I thought (like Dave for example) he would be a gigantic UK Hiphop grime star that would probably command a huge slot. However, he doesn’t seem to be taking slots that are *that* big across the summer. I reckon he would probably accept JP headline without any fuss.

He's headlining NME at Reading & Leeds, same slot as Dave last year who subbed the Other.

He could do either slot. Same with J Hus.

Good point. He’s not playing too high at trnsmt so I think AJ could be lower than the slot I am thinking he is in.

I’ve got another fake poster I’m dipping in and out to edit and there’s a couple of slots I’m not sure about. The three other subs I keep changing in my mind.

I think I’m currently settled on 

Royal Blood / Wolf Alice / Sam Fender

Calvin Harris / Gerry Cinnamon / Camila Cabello

Pet Shop Boys / AJ Tracey / Bombay Bicycle Club / Snow Patrol

But I don’t know whether they could get Aj lower.

Royal Blood clashing with Kendrick would lead to suicide.

FWIW I think AJ could get a lot lower, stick him on before Cabello

Do we have info that PSB are on Sunday?  I really want to see them, but can't miss Taylor for anyone.

Friday other

Royal Blood / Wolf Alice / Sam Fender / Keane / The Libertines

Saturday other

Calvin Harris / Gerry Cinnamon / Camila Cabello / Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott / Skunk Anansie

Sunday other

Pet Shop Boys / AJ Tracey (or Tyler the Creator) / Bombay Bicycle Club / Snow Patrol
 

- - 

I think AJ is either an other sub or Jp headline. Third down at a push but no lower.

Not sure about Tyler but I’ve just put him in there to be hopeful.

One person has claimed that they're Sunday, but I don't think there's much substance there.

Their tour dates and specifically the recently added warm up show would suggest that Friday is the most likely, maybe Saturday at a push. It'd be pretty weird to do a warm up show on the Wednesday for a Sunday concert.

Four West Holts headliners? I think Primal Scream are playing Iceland on the Sunday too, I’d been expecting them somewhere on Friday night but I’m not sure now we apparently have Editors and Royal Blood.

Thanks for the tip! Man it’s so hard to like get all the dates right. 
 

also re West Holts the Isley brothers will sub but four headliners will be billed. I think they did something similar with Jorja Smith this year.

Yeah add me to the same boat. This is really brutal for me if it's true. I know everyone I'm going with will persuade me to see Taylor, who I know will be amazing, but damn. I want to see PSB big time.

I am in the opposite boat - not interest in PSB/Taylor so I'd rather to have a different Other headliner or at least someone strong in West Holts AKA Tyler The Creator.

I think Taylor PSB is pretty likely as a clash

I think news change quickly. Noel was supposed to headline Other now is subbing the Pyramid on Saturday. It's difficult to predict. No one was expecting Lana subbing Kendrick in the last predictions here for example.

Okay - to the best of my ability, my predictions for the biggest stages. Every day the pyramid will have a tba slot which will be filled by a previous headliner.

Friday

Pyramid: Kendrick Lamar // Lana Del Rey // Lewis Capaldi // Anderson Paak. & The Free Nationals // Kacey Musgraves // TBA (Foo Fighters)
Other: Royal Blood // Wolf Alice // Blossoms // Sam Fender // Keane // The Libertines (opening)
West Holts: Thom Yorke Tomorrow's Modern Boxes // Mahalia // Brittany Howard
John Peel: Editors // Annie Mac // Cigarettes After Sex // Inhaler
Park: Bicep (live) // Weyes Blood // Rapsody

Saturday

Pyramid: Paul McCartney // Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds // Aerosmith // Gwen Stefani // Crowded House // TBA (Coldplay)
Other: Calvin Harris // Camila Cabello // Gerry Cinnamon // Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abott // Skunk Anansie // Fontaines D.C // Supergrass
West Holts: FKA TWIGS // Burna Boy // Doja Cat
John Peel: AJ Tracey // Cage The Elephant // Beabadoobe // Confidence Man 
Park: Caribou // Four Tet // Whitney

Sunday

Pyramid: Taylor Swift // Dua Lipa // Alicia Keys // Diana Ross // HAIM // Charli XCX // TBA (Florence + The Machine)
Other: Pet Shop Boys // Tyler the Creator // Bombay Bicycle Club // Snow Patrol
West Holts: Earth Wind & Fire // The Isley Brothers // Angel Olson
John Peel: Orbital // Tones and I // Young T & Bugsy // Nothing But Thieves
Park: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard // Parcels // Sampha The Great

I'm sure there will be one or two things which are wrong and 'x' can't play on this date, but I think this is a feasible lineup.

I know there are some nasty potential clashes but I'm anticipating there to be some clashes this year. Please do let me know what you think. 

p.s those on the poster but not on the stage splits are occupying a slot much further down the lineup - but have made it onto the poster (Fun Lovin Criminals and Yusuf/Cat Stevens headlining Acoustic).

** I have forgotten Aitch but just imagine him in the JP one day.

Your Pyramid looks pretty spot on I’d say, with the possible exception of those TBAs.

Haha with the TBAs you’ve gotta ‘punch up’ a bit lol. I think there’s a chance of maybe one or two.

In terms of bands to do an early morning set on the pyramid foo fighters seem the most likely to me. I think the shouts of GNR are a bit optimistic. If most of the festival are still in bed, I reckon Axel will be too lol.

I would be very happy with this. The acts on the Pyramid are on point I think (the doubt would be when exactly they would play). The only weird shout for me it's Tyler subbing Other?
