Not many festivals could have three pretty big headliners as their replacement bookings. It’s not my first choice but it could be sooooo much worse

Totally agree. Others, if they even go ahead, will struggle to match those in the climate.

Well, Primavera is set to have its biggest lineup... ever?

Maybe, but who would want Tame Impala, The Strokes and Gorillaz as the three Pyramid headliners?

We're discussing AM, Muse and Florence.  We're in no position to disparage other festivals' headliners.

Sorry - meant domestic-based festivals. But fair point.

Raises hands.

And it's not even close. 

C'mon, Muse. Ugh.

If this is true then it would mean my 4th Glasto would have a headliner from each of the other 3 times I've been.

This is one of those posts like texting into a radio station, it's only interesting to the person sending it.

Haha Muse are better than all three of those. And it's not even close.

Les Goûts et les Couleurs  😉

Dead tired of Muse. Saw them at Werchter last year and didn't even manage to sit that concert out.

I'm not gonna knock Glastonbury if they're struggling to land headliners and want to confirm a proven headliner like Muse but its hard to get enthused about 1 band headlining 3 times across 9 consecutive festivals. Really takes the sting out of all of my Download line-up insults.

[1986]

If it was really a year of slim pickings or British only criteria which I don't think it will be, what better time to bump some people up who have never done it?

Just want to add to the record that I would be over the bloody moon if the Florence rumour comes to fruition.

Agree with both of these posts as well, though.

Florence / AM / Macca would be the ideal trio given the current state of play. Find it hard to see Macca not doing it, given the various (albeit tenuous) titbits of info. Just need to make sure I get a fucking ticket for Taylor in 2022.

Haha I would have more sympathy if the acts in the original post didn't include The Strokes and Gorillaz.

Tbh a set of Dua Lipa // 1975 // Foals or something similar would be a smashing weekend

[AlexOvd]

AM, Florence, Macca is a very decent trio. I'd love it. 

[Kalopsia]

I saw Muse on 2016 and while I love some of their older stuff I didn't enjoy this set and felt disappointed by it, this would be the perfect opportunity to see something else and probably away from the main stages.

AM...Yea I'd get drunk and have a great time.

Florence I saw in 2015 and was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it, so much so I'd probably like to just keep these memories and not risk spoiling them. 

They are all really strong headliners and fit the bill however if they're struggling, I'd love for glasto to give Dua Lipa, Dave or Billie a shot at it above any of these three.

Does Billie even still make any music anymore? I thought she was more into the acting, and even then I haven't seen her in anything since Doctor Who. Seems a bit of a stretch.

I think she's planning a comeback, I've got a source that told me she was going to a Walk of Life 20th anniversary tour this year but has unfortunately delayed it to 2021. Sunday night headliner? That album alone has got enough hits for it, that's for sure.

Because We Want To on the Pyramid would go OFF

[priest17]

Her boyfriend's band are supposed to be making a comeback to be fair, maybe she could raise their profile by dropping into their William's Green set.

Legends slot surely?

Glastonbury and Doctor Who go so well together

 

Although the last time the season finale was broadcast during a Glastonbury I had to watch it three times when I got home to make any sense out of it.

Glastonbury or Doctor Who? 

Either answer is acceptable.
