I'm also frankly a little sceptical that we won't have a) at least one oldie headliner on the WH + b) at least one headliner who is young, unlikely and vaguely baffling to this forum.

Isley Brothers and Rex Orange County: stand up and be counted.

Rex headlined Park the other year I think!

Headliners might look a little something like this, then:

P / O / JP / WH / P

Friday: Billie / Foals / Four Tet / Little Simz / Caribou

Saturday: Macca / Doja Cat / Charli XCX / Bicep / Phoebe Bridgers

Sunday: Kendrick / Pet Shop Boys / Primal Scream / Burna Boy / Bonobo

FTFY

Yeah WH without an oldie seems strange as it’s been a popular staple for a long time, but there just isn’t anybody on the poster who really fits the bill, so maybe they’re yet to be announced? Or they just couldn’t secure one this year so had to look elsewhere. 

Not only isn’t there one on the poster, there isn’t one touring who looked remotely likely to do that slot.

That friday is pretty bleak for me. Move Primal Scream to Friday please

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Btw Leon Bridges is busy on Sunday and Little Simz surely ain’t headlining it that night. So if Bicep are Saturday WH there’s gonna be two electronic headliners or something baffling/unannounced on the Sunday.

Yeah, Friday night might just be forego the stages and make a beeline for NYC Downlow...which is no bad thing

[the wonderwhy]

It’s looking like a pretty rubbish year headliner wise. Need some curveballs to emerge.

I'm happy with this on the provision Phoebe Bridgers plays a lower slot on the Saturday

Always good to have one night where you’re able to get to the SE Corner a little earlier. I remember sacking off the Foos and getting on down to the Rumshack. Not many people there and we all had a great time before the masses arrived.

Indeed. Many a time in the past I've felt like I had to see a headliner otherwise it's a waste. I learned that lesson the hard way, a few times.

Simz - Macca - Kendrick would probably be the best trio of headliners I’ve had at the festival.

What is the thinking for Bicep Saturday? Please don't clash with Paul!

Announced on their website.

Foals, Macca and a smaller stage on Sunday will do me.

Those Friday clashes are absolutely disgusting!!

Sunday looking ropey for me now that Phoebe and Bicep are out. 

Big Thief into Bonobo would more than save the day though.

Can imagine it being like this.

Bridgers

Bicep

Kendrick (assuming I’ve got a date for seeing PSB in Camden by that point)

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Fri: Billie Eilish / Foals / Leon Bridges / Burna Boy / Phoebe Bridgers

Sat: Paul McCartney / Bicep / Little Simz / Charli XCX / First Aid Kit

Sun: Kendrick Lamar / Pet Shop Boys / Bonobo / Primal Scream / Caribou

Four Tet subbing somewhere

If Phoebe is headlining park on Friday I'll be there, if not I'd see Foals. Saturday has to be Macca. However, I have no interest in Kendrick and a sliver of interest in Pet Shop Boys, so was hoping for someone else to pop up. If there's someone like Primal Scream on JP, it might be slim pickings for me.

Was hoping that Pheebs or Bicep would be on Sunday as I've had Fri/Sat choices for a while, a dance act would have been great to end the festival, especially on WH, Justice in 2017 looked fantastic.

One of the quirks of my experience at the festival - but I've found the Sunday night has often been a bit of a dud for me. That Justice set in 2017 was probably the best. The XX, Kasabian, The Who, Coldplay and The Streets have all been a bit meh. Virtually every prediction I've seen on here indicates another low-key finale, on the main stages at least.
