i saw him first time at reading. didn't feel like he smashed it, the d-12 bits stopped it from getting going properly.

Was this around 2002/3 when Manson played too? If so I was there, front row. Far too rowdy for me even then had to jump over and f**k off back to my mates who were half way back.

Maybe if The National stepped up as Madonna's backing band...?

Finally the Fake Empire/Hung Up medley we've all been asking for.

I though Jarvis Cocker was the original bum, and the best?

Depends if you were around in the '90s or at least have a big case of nostalgia for that decade.

Spoke with my mate who works at a big music company that work closely with Dave. Confirmed that he is playing the pyramid this year but is not headlining.

Big if true

[CaledonianGonzo]

Huge if true in fact

[Guest]

It's clearly not gonna happen.

[1986]

If Lizzo can sub I imagine Dave could as well. Big win for them but not out of the question.

Isn’t Dave too big? Is there any validity behind this info, does Ell99 have a good track record of getting names right?

[IBCanon]

That would be amazing if FF will play this coming year❤️

[Guest]

I have no idea whether Ell99 has legit sources or not, but I know that Dave isn't there unless he's topping the Pyramid.

I'm assuming this is Dave as in the UK rapper, and not Dave Grohl?

Oh no! I was hoping for Foo Fighters playing a whole set this coming year😞

[Krisesk]

Dave Matthews Band!? 

Just have a day of Dave on the Pyramid Stage. Call it SaturDave.

[IBCanon]

What if one of the female artist who will headline is Shakira?

Not your year, sorry....

[Hugh Jass II]

Dave subbing Madge would work as a mega 1-2.

[Hugh Jass II]

Stevie Nicks - someone like Vampire Weekend - Dave - Madge.

That's your Sunday right there.

Thanks for this … anyone else with info of any kind @eFestivals inbox is open . And this is a perfect thread to discuss options whether they turn out right or wrong .

Does Drake ever get put into the mix of headliner pool?

Arguably bigger than jay-z & kanye,

Certainly bigger than dave & stormzy

Or just not his type of event / pay day

I guess you can't rule him out in general and he's obviously big enough - but I'd imagine he's not that high on their wishlist just in terms of vibe and quality.
