Feels like musical sacrilege to say it but I’d be at Dua Lipa if she were up against McCartney. 

I’d probably be 80% Dua 20% McCartney. Maybe head to McCartney for the end?

[Hugh Jass]

If we're saying that Artist X either being at or having time off over GF makes Artist Y more likely then surely Dua Lipa's presence bodes well for Reginald?

[priest17]

Ed being free meaning swift is doing it is efests logic at best. Wasn't she literally at the festival when Ed headlined? 

Billie, Macca, Top of the morning top of the morning top of the morning top of the morning.

Yes but you can only use this if it supports your theory.

Remember to dismiss it if it’s not what you want to see!

The Ed thing may just be a scheduling quirk and we’re obviously reaching for clues that Taylor is back, but him being available over Glastonbury when he’s obviously good friends with her, about to be featured again on Red and would be very likely to guest (or at least be there to watch) whenever she does headline makes me think that weekend being free isn’t a coincidence.

To be clear - it’s all up in the air and I’m not saying Ed’s tour date is evidence Taylor is there. But I do think if Taylor is there next year, Ed having that Sunday free may not be a coincidence. He might have it free for any number of reasons, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

My current prediction is the same as you. The hottest thing right now, the hottest thing of the past and the artist of the last decade is a great trio.

Would also mean 2 female headlining acts which I imagine Emily is very keen to do if possible

She’s at the festival anyway though?

It definitely is sacrilege. Almost certainly Macca's final Glastonbury appearance vs Dua Lipa who'll almost certainly be back to top the big one in the next 2-3 years is an absolute no content.

I just feel like Dua will be absolutely banging though. I feel like the vibes will be a top notch Glastonbury experience. The crowd will be absolutely here for it.

I think Dua will be an unusual case and probably go from Other headline to Pyramid headline in something like 2 years… but it’s probably part of the deal. I won’t be surprised if they’ve said to her “headline the other in 2022 and you will have first dibs to headline on your next album”… or something along those lines.

Unlike Paul "Beatle" McCartney, for whom there will be no vibes and the crowd will most definitely not be there for anything.

I’m tepid on the Beatles in general so there’s that too. As @Matt42says it will be a huge party and loads of the fun.

In years to come they’ll feel like those who opted for Basement Jaxx in 2000

[FloorFiller]

Dua on Other would be a massive party and I’d certainly be gutted to miss it, but Macca, on the Pyramid, for the last time… c’mon!

Why did you read this as an absolutist statement? Where did I say Paul wouldn’t have these things?

No "anger" here, Matt. Just think she's a bit overrated is all. Hadn't realised I'd been going on about it.

Just my perception of the image she seems to be aiming for. Not sure why it would make you uncomfortable but apologies that it did.

Probably makes people uncomfortable because of the connotations of Lolita - the link with child sexual exploitation etc.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita

I’m just needling due to a long and boring work call.

All fine. No I intend to try and see a chunk of both but Dua will receive a majority stake as I think it’s a rare opportunity to see a future headliner in a smaller than usual position. May even feel somewhat like an intimate gig for her by next summer.

Wasn't there a rumour that the Pyramid would have an all female line up on the Sunday, culminating with Taylor? 

I'm sure that was being batted around in the lad up to the 2020 festival. Diana Ross, Haim, Lana Del Rey, were all rumoured to be performing on the Sunday.

It was reported in the Sun but I don’t think it was true as the specials were playing on the Sunday pyr

LDR was definitely Friday, she was subbing Kendrick.

Just writing that makes me a little sad we didn’t get it.

[Gnomicide]

Watching Kendrick trying to wake the crowd up would have been fun.

We don’t know who was subbing Taylor.. could have been a female artist… but that one remains a mystery. But yeah regardless it wasn’t a full female day due to what we knew. Maybe it was lazy journalism of some journalist seeing that Taylor, Diana and what Candi Station were on the pyramid on the same day and spun it as a ladies day?

[SwedgeAntilles]

Wasn't it Mumford? Or was that us just imagining the worst because the chance had (hopefully) passed.

Outrageous behaviour from @Hugh Jass, accusing you of all people of making absolutist statements Matt! 😉

[Matt87]

Ah yeah I do recall The Specials being confirmed. 

Kacey Musgraves was an unknown day I think, so could have been a Sunday Pyramid slot.

I remain convinced it was Mumfords.
