1 day off from getting the announcement day! Dammit! 

[Smeble]

Dua lipa, Pet shop boys and fat boy slim are the other headliners, please not in that order

[DaveSardine]

Skunk Anansie a really nice touch for the 50th anniversary. Not sure if they were already predicted to play, would be good for early pyramid but unsure where they would go.

Would they headline John Peel?

[Spindles]

Avalon I'd say.

[Mark0]

I know they have played frequently but on a selfish perspective im a little disappointed not to see the Chemical brothers on the list

[MetaKate]

I was hoping to see Sofi Tukker after their injury-forced cancellation last year.

Headlined OS last year: there was zero percent chance they were gonna be there this year.

Hi all,

 

decent enough line up for me, anything outside kendrick is a bonus!

 

what are the chances of Aerosmith playing? I’ve been out the loop with this and therefore expected them to be on the poster? Is there any other acts that fall into this bracket re not appearing on poster but a banker to play?

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

Whilst it is unreadable, what sort of idiot feels the need to bitch about it on Twitter, especially with everything that’s going on at the moment.

Well it seems Editors and C XCX have got two of the spots and my guess would have been maybe AJ tracey. Would be good if they did Saturday or none of t P,O or WH are tempting right now.

[mikegday]

‘US R&B stars TLC will make their debut, while Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will play immediately before Paul McCartney's Saturday night headline slot’

Aerosmith confirmed themselves with a tour poster they emailed fans. Best assumption is that they’re a big special guest on the Pyramid Saturday.

What's better than winning?

Winning when back when the guesses began I actually meant to put tomorrow but got the wrong date.

Smug.

Almost certain they'll be there. Maybe they have tour tickets to sale or the fest have held back as a bit of a surprise. But they've themselves let slip twice they're playing.

Also fully expect Wolf Alice to be on the big poster.

Whilst I don’t doubt this - has this been confirmed anywhere? (I saw Fatboy Slim confirmed himself as a headliner)

turns out I did get another tip about the headliner announcement ... by PM, at about 6.15pm, which must have been just as I left my desk.

It told me the announcement was at 7, tho I didn't see it until after I knew the announcement had been made.

So it is, thanks.

Will be interesting to see if that’s the order.

Dua Lipa v Kendrick
Pet Shop Boys v Paul McCartney
Fatboy Slim v Taylor Swift

Have to say I’m not sure the PSB v PM looks like it would be right?

[Honeybane]

Does anyone know which **edit BIG acts were added after the initial poster drop LAST year? It’s really bugging me. Pretty sure Rex Orange County was?
