Robyn was still on the line up. I would of preferred Billie Eilish. 

I know she was, I meant sub rather than Mumfords.

Foals doesn't sounds too bad now, does it eh?

Foals would be ideal anyhow. Mumfords though, Jesus. Though they assisted one of my favourite Glastonbury moments, giving us the crowd that Nick Cave scared shitless during Stagger Lee

"Would sir prefer a boot in the goolies from the left foot or the right?"

So sounds like they are going with some of the 2021 acts they had pencilled in, so a mix of 2020 and 2021. I thought Emily was a bit coy on how they're going to bring together almost two years of festival to one.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Probably cos it's a logistical shitshow and she doesn't have a clue.

This.

Also the point about not getting carried away yet, because no one knows where we’ll be by next year.

Can someone bullet point the talking points please.

It still does.

[Matt42]

I still think a lot will roll over but it will be the pyramid which takes a hit.

Emily hoping Macca returns next year. That was the only nugget I caught for next year.

[Kalopsia]

EE on Macca "I really hope he'll be back next year singing this song" 

Here Comes The Sun. 

[ClementsMike]

Emily just said she hopes Macca will be there next year.

 

And me.

[Matt42]

I think Macca could be the returning headliner with two new ones.

The 1975, Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish would be my ideal trio I think.

[Andy0808 v5]

Gaga, Macca, Arctic Monkeys are the three that seem likely for me

[ModernMan]

Sounded very much like Macca is a strong possibility. 

PLEASE SAY YES PAUL.

Grim that

[Kalopsia]

Diana Ross looking likely with her tour dates and Macca the only act to get singled out on that interview. Taylor and Kendrick will be back in years to come as age is definitely on their side.

Hahahah I'm so sorry, that is such a hilarious blunder.

I'm still gonna root for Swift until she's definitely out of the picture. I imagine she'll announce rescheduled NA/SA dates over the next couple of months and we'll probably have a good idea at that point. Until then I'll go Arctics / Macca / Swift. 

Although I did think the talk about making a cultural impact and not going safe was quite interesting. Makes me think they could be taking more gambles moving forward.

Either way, doesn't seem we'll get an announcement for quite a while. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

I know it's one of the least diverse trio ever but if I could get two of The 1975, Macca and Arctic Monkeys, I'd be very happy indeed.

I really feel confident about Billie. She’d be the youngest person to headline Glastonbury, which I think is a really big achievement. Especially with the youngest Glastonbury headliner being a woman.

My hopes for 2021 are that the pyramid has Paul, Billie, Dave, Lizzo - really think they are some extremely solid and current acts for the festival to book.

Did she say there’s only 1 returning headliner? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

No.

I think Billie is definitely on the cards, and strikes me as someone they may have approached quite far in advance (which seems to be the case with the pencilled in 2021 headliners).
