Is Harry Styles still in the question?

There's some sort of loophole about it being part of a performance. Samenthing with theatre shows.

Subbing GnR?

We have Pulp then AM, ? Then GnR, Lizzo then Reg

Harry is headline or nothing - take a look at his stadium tours

[TGCarr]

Be very suprised if Harry Styles isn’t on the bill

Given that he’s in Belgium in the Saturday I’d be more surprised if he was.

Not a huge ask to get to Belgium, but I agree its not likely. 

[BenG92]

Wouldn't be at AM or Elton if they play - and I think they will - having seen both this year. Enjoyed Elton, AM less so, but will go elsewhere at Glasto. 

Holding out hope for Beyonce as #3. I'll take Rihanna though.

Scratch that, reminding myself of just how many bangers she has, that'd be a great show.

When do we think Kasabian will be back then ... secret set? headline other maybe?

Belgium is closer than Glasgow. No one would bat an eyelid if he played Glasgow on the Saturday and Glasto on the Sunday. 

[TGCarr]

Who’s bloody Reg

[RatingsAndMoney]

Fri - Harry Styles

Sat - Arctic Monkeys

Sun - Elton John 

 

Although it would mean both Styles and AM playing 2 days in a row in different countries, it’s doable. 

[a6l6e6x]

Elton would be a show for the ages, none of the £500 seats to be in the front row just a huge crowd loving banger after banger

I will see pretty much anything over arctic monkeys, prodigy on other would be perfect

I’d happily take dua, Rihanna, gaga over gnr bit could be swayed away from all depending on what’s happening elsewhere

AM are on Friday.

Genuine question. How much of the line up so you actually know?

Yeh AM Friday does make sense.
 

I just feel someone like Harry Styles topping the bill puts a fresher feel to the headliners opposed to some of the names touted (GNR/Eminem).

It’s the fact that the mod for the AM board who has leaked numerous things for AM over the years has openly shared that AM are Friday, even going as far to say that they have sorted strings for the set.

Harry Styles surely would be one the flattest headliners in a while? Has his solo career really been that great, I'm not saying it could never happen but just seems it would be a weak move atm.

He’s become a multi night stadium selling artist pretty quickly in his career

He isn’t playing back to back nights in different venues, yet alone different countries, anywhere on his tour.

[TGCarr]

Harry Styles would be sick for me.

 

eminem is probably the most boring rapper you can book these days and I’ve seen him 3 times. 
 

rihanna seems sick purely because how long she’s been away for.

 

and Taylor looks out of it due to her Saturday gig.

He's popular because he's Harry Styles, I'm still not convinced he has enough decent material to put on a good show at the Pyramid for a headline set.

Who knows how it would go down but I do think his solo career has been a massive success so far. Prolific with big radio hits and seems to be going from strength to strength with him now selling out stadiums.

You do wonder how big he'd be if he hadn't come from One Direction. Surely no bigger than say George Ezra?

Probably not very big at all tbh.
