Would love to see Oh Wonder at glasto!

Yeah, I saw them last Wednesday in Manchester they were great. I'd guess they'd play early afternoon on JP. I can just imagine them playing Drive with a little bit of sunlight streaming into the tent, would be awesome!

[willd255]

I'm not a fan but that's a big booking for The Park. Could see Primal Scream as another one of the headliners now.

So is this what we're thinking is confirmed so far?

Friday:

Pyramid: Kendrick
Other: Fatboy Slim
WH: Thom Yorke
JP: Editors
Park: Manics

Sat:

Pyramid: Macca
Other: Dua Lipa
WH: Isley Brothers
JP: Charli XCX
Park: ??

Sun:

Pyramid: Taylor 
Other: Pet Shop Boys
WH: Kano
JP: ??
Park: ?? 

Dua and Charli clash is sad. Move Manics to Sat and have Caribou headlining West Holts Fri night and I'm down!

[the wonderwhy]

Manics headlining Park is an absolute massive dud

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.

Orbital will be there.

Camila Cabello is playing Lollapalooza in Stockholm on Sunday 28th underneath Kendrick so will probably be doing Friday at Glasto alongside him too i imagine:

Kendrick / Lana Del Rey / Camila Cabello

OR

Fatboy Slim / Camila Cabello

I wondered how long it would take to send Glastonbury that mainstream, it's been on the way. There is no barely any rock bands?, some kind of indie bands if you like in MSP and Supergrass. Biffy Clyro and Royal Blood look like secret sets so that's clash dependent and you'll need to hear about it. Neither are below sub/other headliner and appears to be no space there.

What 'rock bands' were you hoping for, eh?

Clashing Aerosmith, Supergrass and Fontaines DC is supremely fucking cruel.

In fact Saturday night seems like it is set up specifically to fuck with my head.

Looking great overall.

I think Sam Fender gets into top 3 and probably sub for Other. Would probably swap him and Dizzee where you've got them.

Interesting that you've benched Editors to sub in the JP – seemed like the most concrete info we had was that they would be top billing. I'd say Manics headline the Park on Friday, Primal Scream top JP on Saturday, and Charli goes above Twigs for a Sunday night 1-2.

I just assumed maybe they had their info confused and they were playing Friday JP but not necessarily topping the bill (but actually I see that they had put saturday on their tour dates so whatever).

Fender was a tough one, reckon you could swap him with Mabel but I defo dont think he is sub level yet (and Id guess Dizzee would be way more of a draw than Fender, especially vs. Noel)

I'd also have guessed there was no way FKA Twigs wouldnt be a JP headliner. I had her down originally as a West Holts headliner lol. but maybe there is something to it

Fender would be 3/4th I think, he owes them one after last year and there is plenty of bigger names on that OS line up.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Kenny vs Thom vs Caribou on Friday would be an absolute sickener given I'd have nothing in particular to see on Sunday night.

Same as it ever was. 

[sisco]

12 of the acts I want to see on the Saturday and not a lot anywhere else.  Not a fan of these predictions anymore

[Matt42]

Overall it’s a solid lineup. Some weird shouts like Dizzie subbing other... which probably was what was happening...but it’s just a weird shout for 2020. I’d of thought they could just get someone a bit relevant but hey ho.

This lineup wasn’t really what I was expecting it to be. I like the final product, but they have given a lot of ‘has beens’ large and prominent slots on the lineup. I didn’t realise Crowded House were such a big deal.

If it happened I would have loved it. Lots and lots for there to see.

Fair enough. I'm over-correcting for a habit of always lowballing yer Ben Howards and Courteneers. Assumed Fender was punching at that level with the indie lads. Good point about Fender vs Noel, that would sink him if it was a head-to-head.

Dizzee going from WH headliner to Other sub is odd when he's not done much apart from just be Dizzee but then again, Fatboy's headlining so they're not against boosting easy wins in an anniversary year. Dizzee into Dua would be a big party.

In saying that they did book Courteeners in that slot up against Liam last year...

Supergrass are not playing below Dizzee Rascal, he is subbing an act at Kendal on a weakest day who is doing JP. I think Dizzee is lucky to be above Blossoms.

Fender 4th down on other below Mabel?, lucky is he would be 4th down Pyramid.

Were Aerosmith even going to play in the end?

Overall, most of my acts were pretty high and clash, I think through the lineup 2019 and 2017 were easily better.

Overall, most of my acts were pretty high and clash, I think through the lineup 2019 and 2017 were easily better. 

Lewis Capaldi was 5th down last year and Billie Eilish was 3rd down last year.  I wouldn’t overstate his current popularity pushing him that high.  

I’m personally amazed Supergrass are on the Other as I thought they’d get a Pyramid spot.  I’d put theM opposite Lana on my prediction.

Maybe Something like:

Fatboy Slim, Supergrass, AJ Tracey

Dua Lipa, Robyn, Anderson Paak

Pet Shop Boys, Dizzee Rascal, Blossoms

Actually quite hard to predict that stage! Lots could be in a number of positions. 

[Matt42]

AJ Tracey is deffo an other sub. I think some members of this forum don’t realise how big he is with the younger demographic who attend glasto.

Dizzee has subbed the Pyramid and headlined West Holts last couple of appearances. He gets decent slots.

Yeah I agree, a lot of fairly similar sized acts on there. I reckon it looked something like this:

Fatboy Slim, AJ Tracey, Blossoms, Anderson. Paak & the Free Nationals
Dua Lipa, Robyn, Dizzee Rascal, Mabel
Pet Shop Boys, Supergrass, Sam Fender

Again all looks realistic.  What do you think of the likes of Skunk Anansie? No idea how big they are now.

I agree with @Ddiamondd who suggested them, Happy Mondays and The Lightning Seeds make sense as three heritage acts to open the Other stage each day. Like yourself, I'm not sure how big they are but something like that sounds reasonable.
