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?

Pet Shop boys are Sunday.

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.

 

Dont worry, the poster said "Hey Neil check your PM's" and we all assumed what that meant.

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

BBC news app.

That would make more sense.

I think it will be Fat Boy Slim, Dua Lipa, Pet Shop Boys

I think this is probably the most logical order, yeah.

By far and away the best line up in the world this year.

I can't wait for you all to apologise to me when the postponement/cancellation announcement is finally made.

Looks like it should be you doing the apologising, you were wrong, care to comment?

Not been back since. I presume they've gone back to a different account and will re show again in a year.

Maybe not Park but JP/WH 100%

I'm actually glad about this. He deserves a top booking for all the hours he's put in over the years. I wonder which day?

Not really a Pyramid size set of headliners for the Other is it?

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?

There's an alternate Thingy somewhere which shows how many big stage acts were announced in the 2nd drop. To my eternal shame I can't remember who did it though.

My guess is some major American artists – especially of the older or more 1% variety (Aerosmith, Alicia, Gwen) – are waiting to see how the world shakes out. They were committed, and are now less sure. They could come in a second wave if it all looks better by May/June.

For once I don't know that for sure, but the intel we had about those artists being likely or even locked down, and the trepidation I know of around the industry, suggests it's probable.

I think it's unlikely Areosmith would have asked to not be announced, they have other shows this side of the pond they'd be cancelling too... unless they're already in the process of cancelling (not impossible).

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

Unless they don’t want to appear on a poster as second fiddle to a headliner. I know that’s a bit daft but they are an unequivocal global headliner.

I still think Alicia Keys was just being polite. And Gwen Stefani has just been announced for BST.

If she was just being polite I want someone to punch me in the balls. Damn I want her there.

She said she liked popping up surprising people which people here took to be the G, but then later that night she played a secret show in London. I think that's what she was referring to.
