I think most people have them as the most likely headliner for next year anyway but looks like they’re definitely around next June.

Yup, absolutely obvious anyway and it'll have been 7 years. I'll definitely be putting some money on them when the odds come out.

Hasn't Emily said she already has the three headliners booked for 21?

if you put them all on the other stage you could have pyramid level headliners on there ..... there couldnt be any arguments over that then ? :)

I think she said they had verbal agreements. If 2020 is cancelled altogether, I imagine their first play will be rebooking the 2020 ones if possible.

Lady Gaga (or Kendrick)

Arctic Monkeys

Taylor Swift

I don't think Glastonbury matters that much to Taylor to plan round it, I imagine if she's around okay but this year I think just sat well with BST.

Kendrick/AM/Taylor is still a really good trio and will shut up all those 'there's no rock bands or lads with guitar bands cry' people on twitter. 

No, bore off with the double pop, we don't need it again.

I'm struggling to see how you don't see rap as one of the biggest pop influences today, pop is not just young female singers singing what you dislike.

Well if you’re saying that then AM have more pop friendly songs that’s Kendrick Lamar!

You aren't wrong but they are a rock band and where it used to be a rock band, a poppier band for the young one's we will say just for eg in this and an older act to supply to all you go from that to a rock band and two poppier acts for the young one's but Glastonbury way more the social media commercial unit than it ever was now unfortunately and that's where we are.

I think Kendrick Lamar is a hip hop artist, which is a very popular genre right now.

By this logic there's so many lineups in the history of Glastonbury that are 'double pop'.

I have no idea what this means.

What you think is your opinion but what he is, is a rapper. There may be hip hop influences but in that genre that regularly happens, he very much goes as an acclaimed rapper though. 

You don't have to, it's my opinion, as long as I do I'm not fussed.

I lost brain cells reading this.

There are hip hop influences in Kendrick Lamars music?

But hip hop is as distinct from pop as "rock" is.

    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
