I'm inclined to think that The 1975 won't be a headliner next year, it would be no different from Liam Gallagher doing Finsbury and subbing Glastonbury which he didn't do until the following year. 

I also think Glastonbury would be a solo UK gig with a much later in the summer headline show or even the following summer.

This is your worst post on this entire website.

I had to reverse image search to find out who this band is. I remember them being on lineups that I used to attend but I know nothing about them.

Are we ruling out any possible DJ’s headlining? Or are there too many options to keep them for the Other stage?

Just thinking of Calvin Harris & Martin Garrix.

Seems a bit too late really. There were a couple of years in the mid 10s where it could have happened. With Calvin Harris taking headline slots at some festivals. 

However it seems to have fizzled a bit. I don’t think the demand or mass attention on djs at the moment is the same as it was back then. Things move fast.

I think the reason for this is more niche dance acts - Bicep, Solardo etc became quite mainstream, and stole some of calvins fans probably. Booking Calvin to headline has probably lost its wow factor for some.

Tribes is a blast from the past. Another band that NME hyped up just to abandon.. poor blokes.

I remember getting really into them for about two weeks in 2011. Now I can't think of a single song they did.

More importantly, when are WU LYF headlining?

Am I wrong or was Today when BST was going to give some update? 

It was supposed to be, aye. Nothing yet - not sure if there will be anything at this rate.

Ken in the RW thread is hinting that Kendrick has not rescheduled.

Doesn't sound definitive though. "For the moment".

I can see both Taylor and Kendrick not wanting to commit to these rescheduled shows yet, and that might be what's fuelled the BST non-announcement. They both might end up doing it, but they're not booked yet.

It’s a real fucker headliner-wise that this happened this year of all years, as Emily & co. obviously had to work hard and have been having long discussions to lock in three headliners who might not usually be willing to play for the reduced fee. Any other year I’m sure getting headliners back would be fairly easy, or if not, another equally good one would be available, but all three of this years could just flake out for a number of reasons and it’s hard to think of any realistic equal replacements (for my personal taste, anyway - I’m sure there are tons of people hoping a more standard band or two replaces some of them).

    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9    
    • Do people want an arena experience though? Especially for sub par bands. Rather a band do more nights at an independent venue for more money than 1 big one.
