Only those with limited musical knowledge.

Exactly the point.  

Thanks to my Dad, I'm well aware of Roxy but a lot aren't.  There's clearly a difference between Kylie, Di-Ro, Dolly etc whos hits are known by 18 year olds and 80 years olds.

If it really is someone not mentioned on here, we have a list of maybe 500 acts who it isn't.

It's fucking N-Dubz isn't it.  *facepalm*

Ah really. So festival exclusives to other uk /non glastonbury festivals have ended up playing Glastonbury anyway? 

Weren’t the Libertines exclusive elsewhere in 2015, or maybe the unique nature of their late parachute in was an exception?

[kingbadger]

Tell you what, if AM/GnR/Elton is indeed the headline trio, then Sade would be a good booking to compliment them. Rumoured to be recording new music, no better launchpad.

Yeah there was a deal with Reading/Leeds made and it was a very well kept secret.

No inkling of a European tour though is there?

Songkick usefully informs me her closest gig to Manchester is Tokyo.

Bjork plays approx three songs casual fans would sort-of know nowadays so deeply unsuitable for this slot sadly. She'd still be Other headline given her status, but she's also someone that loves to take a cheque nowadays so doubt she'd even be back to the farm itself any time soon.

[jamesmsmith93]

1. Michael Bublé

2. Blue

3. Pete Tong Ibiza classics (lots of crowd favourites but wouldnt go down well with glasto old guard!)

4. Shania Twain

Dr Dre is a headliner for me. Them two as the legend slot would be ridiculously insane. Possibly the greatest booking of all time.

Could you imagine. The Superbowl show this year was probably the greatest ever. Get that on the Pyramid. 

[Isaact]

Shania Twain is a good shout actually.

If it’s Buble they can have my ticket back! 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Really out there..... but would be absolutely epic..... Joni Mitchell.

I saw Pete Tong Ibiza Classics a few years back and it was absolutely fantastic. Can't see it being legend slot but would love to see them being at the festival.

She’s already ruled out I think- dates elsewhere.

Bryan Adams is in Cardiff 11th July - could he be over before then
