If Arctics pull out, does this mean we're no longer forced to have Royal Blood as a sub either? 

[sprocketrocket]

To be honest I don't know if Lizzo is a 'Pyramid Headliner' but theres been loads of acts on over time  I wouldn't have called Pyramid Headliners. I'd probably go and see Lizzo. 

Arctic Monkeys being one of them (first time round)

I know Luxembourg is only a small place but it’d still be pretty rough if they pulled out of a gig there with only four days notice because they got a better offer from elsewhere

Ah fair enough - didn't realise they were booked for something else. Think they'd still pull out tbh

[BigMarv]

I wouldn’t want it, however as an ‘easy’ headline replacement, would say Ed Sheeran would be a go to. Limited production required. Headliner sized. Free.

[fullfathom5]

Keep Foos where they are and get Pulp in (or Blur).

[TiZuff]

the 1975 is my choice tbh.

Do people really believe Lizzo could/should headline? 🤨 nothing against her but I don't see in what world Lizzo would be a Glastonbury headliner. 

She'd be a much better headliner than the AM who've done it before. If BE did it last year no reason why Lizzo can't this year. It was a mistake anyway to book 3 male bands.

Shame LDR is booked for the Saturday rather than the Friday, moving her from the Other to the Pyramid would’ve been fine. Think we can safely say they won’t do that with Wizkid.

I'll never be on the side of simply booking a female act to balance out the male acts. Fair enough if she got bumped up, but just for me personally I'd have Lizzo down as one of the most underwhelming headliners (in terms of size/catalogue/trajectory, not musical taste) to take the spot. Capaldi would be in with a better shout than Lizzo even though he's playing below her the Saturday, I'd say he'd draw a much bigger crowd in a Friday night headline slot than Lizzo would. Each to their own I guess, I just wouldn't see her in a headline slot in 2023. Already surprised she's not third down the following day, with Capaldi subbing.

alright f**k it im gonna say it...

fred again on the pyramid stage... cue the hate

[ArcticGorilla]

5 days is plenty time for recovery. Vocals may well be scratchy but AM will be donning the pyramid Friday

[Pr0paneNightm4re]

They’ll probably be cancelling the Dublin show to make sure they’re not ill for Glastonbury. They’ve got 4 days to recover. Should be fine

Kelis would go off, if the criteria is ‘acts playing on the Friday who don’t look like Laurence Llewelyn Bowen’. She could even bring out Bill Murray for a duet in the encore.

if it saves the stress of the other stage overcrowding, I’ll join you on that

[Welshinexile]

Surely it’s precautionary! They aren’t going to risk one of the biggest gigs of their career - feel sorry for Dublin tho! 

[glimmers_of_hope]

I reckon arctics will still headline. If not gotta be foos who step in.

rumours going around that Alex was so f**ked up from drink/drugs that they needed to call a doctor in. Security guard for their london show passing the info around. Reckon Laryngitis is a cover story

There’ll be no “get ______ in to do it!”  In such circumstances the festival always bumps up someone who’s already playing , usually someone scheduled for the same day, and usually the sub.

Foos seem far too obvious. 
 

Arctics won’t cancel until last possible moment, so I expect he’s on a course of honey and lemon, and we’ll hear for sure on Thursday.

The chems at Arcadia will be even more Rambo

They would need a doctor to sign off a medical certificate for the insurers to cover costs of a cancelled stadium gig…

Of all the options, that would be one of the more hilarious ones
