I keep mixing her up with that violinist who became a downhill skier.

Are you not firmly on the Robyn train? I’m surprised 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sorry - that was in response to the post about Vanessa May

[CaledonianGonzo]

Did it again.

Pretty sure Taylor will get two hours. That’s how long she played for on the last tour, and it’s hard to see how she crams all the tunes in a two hour set let alone 90 min.

When was the last time a Sunday headliner played that long? Might strengthen the argument for someone slightly smaller to sub... Like Robyn.

Last year.

Why do people think the pet shop boys will be up against taylor? That just doesn't make sense to me?

Fatboy is Friday and Macca v PSB makes even less sense.

[FloorFiller]

Really don’t understand why people think PSB vs Taylor is a weird clash - do they really share that much of a fan base?! Both pop but totally different ends of the spectrum.

Sorry for asking a tone of questions, how do we know fatboy is Friday?

What do you think?

Not bad, I still think you were a little over zealous with big names as we have no Biffy, Billie, Royal Blood, Cat Stevens, Alicia Keys, Orbital, etc and limited room at the top of the bill. We're still expecting Aerosmith and a lot of the smaller names could easily be filling up other spaces. I still reckon it is impossible to get more than about 80% right.

I agree, although I will be gutted if I have to miss one.

Updated my prediction after the announcement.

 

 

That Small timings between Diana Ross and  Kelis then clash with Alicia Keys is stressing me out and I don't even have a ticket  

[gordong]

So are we saying its Dua Lipa vs Paul McCartney on Saturday?

I can't see it being any other way. They'll want a younger act up against the old gits on the Pyramid.

I think its an awful clash - out of the 6 "Big" headliners, they are my top 2 picks and yet they are on the same night ☹️ 

[maelzoid]

The thing with clashes is, you could pick any two artists off the poster and chances are that for at least one punter, they are two must-sees.

[RarerThanDandyB]

Biffy still SR and someone said they have been booked, sub again? Can’t see them subbing Fatboy on Other and no where else really for them?

[mufcok]

There was a rumour about Groove Armada headlining Glade on here the other day, do we know if there's any truth in that? Not liking that Primal Scream clash..

Just looking back at my last prediction I did, got 54 of the names announced. Not bad. Also expecting a few others there to be added when the full lineup is out.

Also thought it'd be interesting to compare with the first one of these I did. Got 13.
