Do you think they'd get a slot that high? I'd have thought they would be around 3rd down on The Park.

[Guest]

At this point I'm predicting the Park headliners to be FKA Twigs, Bicep and King Krule.

First The National up against Macca, now this.

Isleys v Macca? Not going to be heaving is it? 

Not sure of any of them getting enormo-crowds.

Though there will be people wanting to spend their evening with a haunted scarecrow wailing about circuitboards on the off chance it does a Radiohead song.

They're as big as the headliners last year, bar Hot Chip. Certainly the same level as everyone who did it in 2017. They could potentially sub but they certainly wouldn't be below that

They're headlining End of the Road (albeit on the Thursday), so Park Headliner would be about right.

So, in terms of 'solid' rumours we've got, is this what we know so far?

Fri

WH: Thom Yorke
JP: Editors

Sat

OS: Dua Lipa
WH: Isleys
JP: Charli xcx

Sun

Possibly Bicep taking up one of the Park headline sets, and maybe Charli xcx on the Sunday?

My 3 headliners are still all pyramid. Be a shame to miss pet shop boys and Dua. Bicep and FKA on park id both like to see but seeing Bicep in a few weeks.

also whats the obsession with refusing to use the words 'woman' or 'women'? 

Because female feels more natural as an adjective whereas woman/en are nouns. So it's easier to say female headliners than headliners who are women.

Now this one would be an issue. Really hoping I can see them

Totally off topic but your cow picture always makes me smile :-)

[Hugh Jass]

Based on current guesses my headliners are Kenny, Macca and Pet Shop Boys.

I can live with that.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard out of the game now for Park headliner?

While they're not ruled out, them being in the States the weekend before probably makes them pretty unlikely

Let's hope not. 

Never had a Sunday night at the Park before.

They'd be great.

It’s certainly what the Dad from Friday night dinner would say

Are we talking Bonnaroo? or is there something after that?

Don't think there's anything yet to justify them being considered a solid rumour.

[Guest]

Still think it'd make a lot of sense for Royal Blood to headline the Other on the Friday, but seems like that might not be happening.

Think you’ve quoted the wrong post there, I have no clue where they’re playing

during an interview with Radio X, Simon Neil was asked if they would be at Glastonbury and he smiled and said "That would be telling!"
