I'm talking about acts that play on the major stages. And on those major stages it's unusual for a well-established act like Kiwanuka to get booked 2 years on the trot.

It's the much newer bands who probably didn't have an album out last time but will this time (and there's interest in, obvs) who tend to be the ones to come back the following year. Ones who've grown significantly over that year.

So we can rule out Capaldi and Eilish for this year then?

If true, and this is a JJ rumour.... I’d say it shoots Biffy Clyro into the most likely guitar band for the last Other headliner slot.

Do you think 3rd other headliner is one we haven't discussed

We’ve discussed pretty much everyone, so no.

Current rumours were Calvin Harris, PSB plus one other, most likely a guitar band. Someone said Royal Blood were that band.

If they had said that they weren’t doing it then people on Twitter would be discussing. There is nothing.

PSB will be WH at the end.

Huge booking if they do.

We haven't discussed two door cinema club or arcade fire or red hot chilli peppers

Well two door played last year and subbed the other stage so that’s why no one is talking about them.

Arcade Fire are doing nothing

Red Hot Chili Peppers ... well.. no idea

We haven’t discussed Nirvana either, do you think they could do it?

[tomfestival_11]

Nirvana arent touring this year and dave has his commitments with the foos. My conclusion is they are nailed on for Headlining the Park on Friday.

Ha! Well timed crossover there.

Wasn’t the worst effort though!

Years! Incredible that there's doubt over whether he's genuine or not and serious replies to suggestions from regulars. A sign it's been a job very well done, I guess.

Foos playing unannounced rock slot

Yep. He’s very good at it. As I say, he’s never once broken character.

Too many spelling 'mistakes' in the same sentence sometimes imo. But Pymild and Noel's High Frying Birds, fantastic stuff.

I always want to call them High Frying Birds because of that.

I particularly like it when bands get "anconced". Classic JJ. 

But with Pymild, he or she has written themselves into eFests folklore. As famous as the monorail.

I don't think we can rule out two door cinema club because they have a gap from 20th June to 3rd July.

Christine and the queens headlined on Sunday last year. Wonder if someone like Charli xcx or Carly Rae Jepson could do a headline slot on the other.
