Potentially. Shame about Royal Blood, Calvin Harris and Pet Shop Boys though.

Certainly leaning towards that trio although it’s not exactly set in stone.

Perfect for a Pyramid sized Other headliner

Don't let this get in the way of Matt's 24th guess of certain other stage headliners

Haha, never has someone talked so absolutely about complete speculation.

Just spotted this Steve Hillage Band gig on the Thursday, surely a warm up for a Glade appearance?

just about convinced he'll be playing, as he has just 3 dates immediately before Glasto, and then nothing until a just-announced bigger tour in October.

Poor Foals. Sad for them.

That's a pretty savage lineup for Kendal Calling though. I would have thought perhaps the entire second line and also Dizzee Rascal would be top line names for Kendal.

Wonder here Biffy will end up then. I was sure they'd trot down to Kendal. Not that that's relevant to Glastonbury like, or interesting in any way.

The whole double album thing hasn’t really worked out for their headlining credentials has it? I know the first album went down really well but the second didn’t really receive much fanfare after its release. It feels like this is their second year touring the same material and they’re just taking whatever offers they can get, rather than promoting a new album and playing off the back of that. Easy to say with hindsight of course but I feel like playing one or two bigger festivals off one big album would have worked out better than touring all the mid-sized ones across two summers.

And yet we still can't rule out the fact that a significant chunk of the autumn will be spent debating whether or not they're big enough.

Yeah. I think they thought they'd be doing bigger gigs too from what they'd said in interviews, but I guess if bands drop down a level to take some paydays then they ought to be willing to stay at that level.

I know it's been delayed so much that it's hardly a two-parter anymore but I think The 1975's double album is panning out like that a little too, especially in how comparatively little press their new songs are getting.

Their Summer Sessions gig announced today for Edinburgh puts them on equal footing with Michael Kiwanuka and McFly.

Booking Skunk Anansie would be very cool. Sign me up for that.

Have a feeling they'll be announcing a tour after Skin has finished on a certain television show...

Ah. I haven't watched that show but it would certainly make sense that she does that, drums up interest for a tour and they hit Glastonbury.

I was assuming when they dropped 'People' the next album would be a big change in direction for them hence why they went for a double album, but everything since has been more of the same really.

Yeah they'll take anyone if it's late enough.

Everyone was owned in the Foals v The 1975 argument then.

Nah, Kasabian played that thing once and they're bigger than '75.

You surely didn't think it was gonna be a full on nu metal thing?

I mean I wasn't expecting Healy to don a red New Era Cap but that last single sounds like something off the credits of a straight to DVD American Pie film.

Ha, not those of us who thought they both weren't big enough to headline 2020.

It is possible that the new album is an ode to the early 2000's and the next song will be a Lemon Jelly rip-off.
