Hmm. Crüe I can really see. Lord knows how they’ll sort a spinning drum kit on the pyramid! 

They're in it for the money so I can't see it at all. There are not many I bow to in my Motley fandom but I wish they really had knocked it on the head after the last tour, it wasn't good.

Vince Neil’s voice nowadays ? I just think they might fancy a big headline or two courtesy of glastonbury

( in other news, as great as The Dirt book is, have you read the Vince Neil biog? It’s a good read. He is such a terrible, reprehensible c**t. It’s his co-written biog and he still comes across as just . . . dreadful. Very recommended!)

I've not, but it sounds promising :D

Weird how they were my favourite band for years but at least 3 of them are horrific people.

I saw those 2 shows but in Manchester. 

The Crüe US tour has been announced and it's stadiums :D Dragging along some other names to help shift the tickets:

Went to all three of the above. Happy days indeed. Had front row for Ozzy too, in those days you had to queue up to get tickets!

Are we still expecting a Friday rock act now we know Aerosmith are playing Saturday? We could easily still get Judas Priest but the big rock act comment surely applies to Aerosmith.

Nah it’s gotta be Aerosmith Emily was talking about. Don’t think she ever mentioned a specific day for the rock slot and Aerosmith fit the bill perfectly.

I've just checked Priests dates, and while they could squeeze Glasto in I don't think it's likely from their locations around Glasto.

So I think it was Aerosmith that Nick was referring to when he said about a big band for the rock slot.

Was Friday in 15, 16 and 17 so we all just assumed the same this year, but clearly scheduling etc determines where certain bands play and I’m sure being pre-Macca was a big selling point on them agreeing to do this. Hope the rock slot doesn’t die after next year as it’s hard to imagine them being able to top it in terms of size.

Inspired by the other thread. Gonna moot this.

The “gone big on the rock slot” comment was a red herring. We think it’s Aerosmith but instead it’s actually another act doing a slot on the pyramid on the Friday.

Foo Fighters.

Its weird they are coming to Europe (Lisbon) for just one date.

Foos opening Friday could line with what Emily said about some major on-the-day surprises.

Cue Dave Grohl rolling out at midday with a joke about being early this year to make up for late last time, the whole field laughs and they kick into Generator.

I for one wouldn't be complaining.

There's a major surprise and there's having one of the biggest bands in the world playing when a massive chunk of the punters are wandering around for breakfast or still curled up in a ball after smashing the first night in the SE Corner!

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
