Fatboy deserves a good slot he will be a right laugh

Its a nice present to him for the amount he's worked there for the 50th anniversary.

Blimey! I hate to suggest it, but do you think he might have been a Festival fallback for an act that pulled out?

Surely not, if someone pulled out they still have plenty of time to find someone and if not then give it to him.

May as well cancel as that line up is crap apart from Sam Fender and Noel Gallagher, is the most recent XFm commenter.

When I turn out to be correct later on will you come and say sorry? This isn't a troll I just wanted to share the news.

Thats my hope. I might see her over Kendrick. Maybe she sub headlines under Dua Lipa or Fatboy?

Shes definitely a nighttime act. I would kind of see her headlining WH... which obviously im not hoping for.

Please do. Go and do it now.

[Tranquility of Solitude]

I haven’t done a count, but it does seem to be a very gender balanced line up. I’m really delighted to see Suzanne Vega, Angel Olsen, The Big Moon, Goldfrapp, Sinead O’Connor, Skunk Anansie..... 

I was unsuccessful in the main sale, so went to more concerts this year than usual, then got a volunteer spot... I’ve been to see Happy Monday’s, Angel Olsen and am due to see Goldfrapp this month, so that may help me with some potential clashes or inconvenient shift times!

Hope everyone stays healthy, and it goes ahead. Loads more to come!

Love him or hate him, Norm deserves that Other Stage headline slot. Can't think of many other acts with such a connection with the festival. And if you just wanna party for 90 minutes, he's your man

Not just you:

Fifty-two per cent of the acts announced so far are female or bands featuring a mix of genders, after Eavis pledged to achieve a gender-balanced line-up "as soon as possible"

He headlined Camp Bestival a few years back and absolutely nailed . 100% capable of doing the same on the Other.

And with that poster concludes the prediction game and from it we have 4 winners. Please collect your prize @JoeyT, @jyoung, @Wellyboot, @SomeoneListeningIn which is an image of a medal at the bottom of this post. Only you are allowed to look at and save this image although I have absolutely no way of policing this. It was mentioned that the community would pitch together to buy you a pint each but being realistic this probably won't happen. For me the main prize is pride for being good at guessing (maybe even working out the pattern??)

Much bigger response to this than was expected, it has been fun. Let's do it again next year. Included the full list of predictors and the crossing out of doom for all of those, including me, that got this wrong

That is a fantastic line-up. Even more gutted about not getting tickets now. Also there appear to be a lot of former headliners there! 

[dogeggs]

I do feel for the Eavii during these worrying & stressful times...I’m so happy for them that they’re ploughing ahead regardless, despite all the uncertainty....

Chuffed about Black Uhuru too, didn’t see that one coming.

Im very pleased with my silver medal at guessing. I was technically right in Australia!

Top man!

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

The thing that fucks me off more than anything today, with all of the uncertainty circulating, the heartbreak that the Eavis' will suffer if they had to cancel, the pressure to release the initial announcement and their social media pages are full of genuine complaints that the circular poster is unreadable. The sense of entitlement these days staggers me
