Down to play the September thing they were going to put on last year? (forgotten the name now!)

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Are they not just on about Live at Worthy Farm (even though they didn’t headline lol)?

Reckon it’s a bit of a liberal interpretation of ‘headlining main stage’. Would think they are headlining  A main stage.  That’s more probable

I doubt most of the people watching Glasto on TV have a clue what the Mercury Prize is pal.

Nonsense

All in a morning's work for eFests...

For some reason that really made me laugh. Their first post was frustratingly ambiguous (“main stage”?) then to follow it up with getting mixed up with what year they’re confused about and the equivalent of ‘pffft’ and a shrug. Top trolling.

So, as ever, that's a waste of a morning.

My delight for them would probably eclipse any disappointment I’d feel. They’d have the absolute time of their lives and we’d love to see it. Shame it won’t happen, in a way.

It’s never a waste of a morning on here.

They were down to headline Pilton Party in 2020 weren't they? It's probably that they're referring to

Think they played that in 2019.

If I'm honest I'm just too lazy to do the deep dive

I think it's much more likely that they've let the cat out of the bag on something* and now covering their tracks.

We got confused with 2021 is the weakest excuse possible 😂

By this I actually think they've just dropped a bollock and Wolf Alice are headlining but the Other Stage not the Pyramid.

Nothing makes sense.

So... removing Wolf Alice from the headliner equation (for now...), why do we think that Macca and/or Kendrick are goners?

Last I'd seen from Neil, Kendrick was essentially nailed on, and general vibe is that Macca is a lock. I appreciate there are always caveats to these things but why do we suddenly think one or both of them aren't making it?

[AlexOvd]

Wolf Alice headlining Other on Saturday would make much more sense, specially if it's against an act like Harry Styles/Dua Lipa. Considering the other two are PSB and Foals they would be the "female" band (if I am not wrong in 2020 we had at least one female headlining each stage.

Neither of them actually have any dates announced, and Kendrick especially appears to be being replaced at most of the festivals he was supposed to be at last year.

So 2021 was gonna be headlined by Dua Lipa, Wolf Alice and The 1975? Classic! Feel like someone mentioned Flo for it, too.

Someone’s been on that cider brandy early before hitting the social media posts today 😂

I certainly wouldn’t dismiss the idea that Wolf Alice are one of our headliners. US acts are not committing to travel restricting the choice of headline acts - and WA are without doubt a Glastonbury act. Coldplay headlined on album number 2 and even they had doubts whether they were ready…the rest is history. Personally I can see this happening

Wolf Alice haven’t exactly released Yellow.

Yeah.... they are backpedalling hard!

The more I think about it the more I think it could happen... and be amazing!  Glastonbury give WA a little footie up and they smash it.  For me, I'd prefer them over Kenrick, Billie or Macca. 

[RarerThanDandyB]

Awfully weak excuse. I agree it will probably be other stage but if they get the leg up then I'd like it. Not a big headliner but would be great to see what they do with a pyramid headline slot.
