Swap in Taylor for Kendrick, Wolf Alice for QOTSA, Dave for Jack White & Calvin as Sunday as OS headliner.

That would be my input in to that.

I’d love Wolf Alice to headline vs Billie but the info Neil received was both QOTSA and Billie Friday night 

[Gilgamesh69]

Do we have any (good, educated) theories on who else might be on the other stages on Friday, opposite Billie and QOTSA?

This would be perfection for me, in terms of a realistic option.

West Holts is wide open now that Thom Yorke isn’t touring, but Bicep seem like a really good shout for that slot imo.

Bloody hell this is comprehensive, realistic, and really really good.

Would take that in a heartbeat.

I'm already mentally working out how much of First Aid Kit I could watch before dashing over to Noel...

You'd get a lot of people fully gutted to see Big Thief and Phoebe Bridgers clash, mind.

The Self-Esteem/Little Simz clash would send folk on here into meltdown.

This is an absolute cracker of a lineup.

I think Megan Thee Stallion is playing… that’s the only omission. But apart from that I will take it.

[Stokesy10]

I am praying that there's no Macca/Manics clash. It would fry my brain and be a ridiculously difficult decision, not because one is better than the other, but me and my brother were huge Manics fans growing up and I'd see them for the 1st time with him at GF..... but I cannot miss Macca... who he wouldn't be arsed about :,(

First world problems and all...

 

[maelzoid]

If we’re playing line-up pontoon with this, I would definitely stick and not twist.

I do wonder if Aerosmith might get a slightly longer set than their earlier appearance time might suggest, maybe 80-90 minutes….?

erm lads, sugababes?

Kano pulling out of primavera makes me think he's not going to back on the festival circuit this year (maybe a new album on the way??)

Ah that’s a great point, I completely missed that. In that case, Little Simz would be a great replacement for him as a West Holts headliner.

Isn’t another series of Top Boy coming soon? Maybe filming has overran.

I have a feeling we are getting three new West Holts headliners.

Is there any sign of The Isley Brothers being back? Bicep, Little Simz and an older act seems like a great mix though.

[the wonderwhy]

Hope we get some surprises headliner time because across all stages its looking pretty run of the mill so far. 

Daytime looking like a corker though.

Isleys don’t look to be anywhere. We know Thom is touring with the Smile and Bicep / Little Mix while good options may not be considered big enough so it’s definitely wide open.

Little Mix headlining West Holts would be a Glastonbury moment for sure

I was hoping (for my GF, who has a day ticket) that Isleys were back for the Sunday headline slot. Would be the perfect act up against Kendrick for those looking for something a little more soulful and gentle

Isleys were not rebooked by Love Supreme this year so i would guess they are out too

Bicep & Simz both recently sold out 3 nights at Brixton each, I'd definitely say that'd put both of them in the picture (by contrast, Janelle didnt even sell out Wembley Arena when she headlined)
