Whose Missing? (First Poster Edition)

[Hutchmaster]

Is there anyone you were surprised was missing from the first poster? 

I was sure we'd see Wolf Alice with the initial drop, as well as Hinds. Foals I reckon might get a separate announcement.

[Chrisp1986]

Obvious are Aerosmith and Alicia Keys.

[Hugh Jass]

Biffy Clyro seem odds on to appear.

[chazwwe]

Wolf Alice. 

[Matt42]

Ffs @eFestivals I accidentally made a duplicate thread can we merge the two?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Cat Stevens

[DareToDibble]

Coldplay 

I think Aerosmith are the only big surprise. Maybe Calvin Harris, too. Not sure we were ever really that sure on him anyway though.

[Homer]

Orbital 

[MetaKate]

Sofi Tukker!

[Matt42]

As I said in the other thread

 

“Who is strongly rumoured and not on the poster?

Aerosmith
Royal Blood
Alicia Keys 
Biffy Clyro
Bicep
Carl Cox
Floating Points
Fun Lovin Criminals
Inhaler
Orbital
Wolf Alice

 

Interesting omissions.

I’ve seen on Twitter a maybe not so ludicrous suggestion that they have lost Aerosmith potentially due to coronavirus concerns? Or will they just be playing a surprise set? Seems a bit silly for them to do a surprise set now!”

[bombfrog]

Daft Punk 

[DareToDibble]

I know they played last year but was expecting Billie Eilish and Lewis Capaldi to be back in more prominent spots.

There's gonna be a lot of 'i bet x cancels coz of the virus' there's already one going around about Lana. 

[Jack.194]

Wolf Alice have been confirmed by Michael, I don’t see the logic in missing them off the poster?

 

[AlexOvd]

Just as virgin of Glastonbury I am. Are we expecting more big names in the upcoming weeks/months? Or the names missing will be kind of medium size. 

[james130]

Foals, Solange and Kaytranada were a few I expected.

[Matt42]

No Gerry cinnamon as well.

Not like I want him there but that’s a bit of a glaring omission. 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Aerosmith are the big surprise especially since the rumour came from themselves. Possible they might be playing a waiting game to see how things develop. Other omissions I expected were biffy and royal blood 

still think there will be quite a few comings and goings , a helluva lot more than usual, over the next few months

Quiet, they might not notice.

Yeah this. Really hoping he still turns up.

[Hutchmaster]

Also thought The National might come back and right the wrong of 2017; there's a gap between their last European date and when they're back Stateside.

[Miyn]

Sea Girls. They follow every festival they play, follow Glastonbury and are playing in Europe the week before.

The National were always a (very) long shot though.

The others mentioned all seem quite glaring omissions.
