We've heard that before when it comes to acts playing Glastonbury...

Less likely for sure, but you never know.

Will buy a Wembley ticket just in case...

How would y'all rank the six names that appear to be in contention right now? I'd go:

Elton
Rihanna
Eminem
Harry Styles
GnR
AM

In terms of likelihood to play this year…..

AM
GNR
Elton
Harry
Em
Rihanna

[Matt42]

I think if they were in the running we’d have more linking them to it. Can’t imagine they would be one glastonbury would have a prolonged negotiation process for. Reckon this probably is their only UK show.

Going to have to grab some cheap tickets (hopefully) closer to the time, can’t commit to another gig without the potential of divorce proceedings occurring….

Maybe sneak Ash or Ocean Colour Scene in earlier in the day too? Go full 90s Brit pop

The recent surge in Britpop revivals makes you wonder if the Gallaghers are watching with interest.

Maybe calculating the minimum time they'd have to spend together versus the potential payday.

Of course. Those guitars won't tune themselves

I thought you were cool.

As cool as Rick Witter

Would Blur secret set avoid the 'only UK performance' stipulation (not that they are often cast iron) -- just can't see Damon resisting the farm (and selfishly wanting to see them there)

Honestly just don't see it happening especially now Liam has blown up.

I think Liam would do it for the joy of doing it.

Noel would do it if the pay was massive and he barely had to speak to him.

Way back in the early 2000s Bill Bailey did the festival every year, and it was quickly apparent that the Cabaret tent was too small for him, one year he did the Fire Stage (outdoor in T&C) but that was rammed and went away.

A few of us did some pushing to get him a slot on the Pyramid in the afternoon, as he could certainly fill it and we'd had a bloody opera on it at that point. Someone finally managed to put the question to Michael Eavis and he said he loved Bill Bailey and there were plenty of places in the festival he could play, but the Pyramid was for music and just music and it wouldn't be appropriate to have in on there.

I don't think Bill's played since.

As @Matt42 points out there have now been lots of non music things on the Pyramid (Corbyn?) - but actually Bill Bailey would be easily capable of creating a show structured around music as well as comedy.

Guess he could go on early in the day as a novelty act for a laugh, would keep the blanket and camping chair posse happy. As a headliner no way.

I think there's a difference between doing a 5-10 minute speech in between acts, especially as they're always individuals who fit in with the festival's ethos - Corbs, Attenborough, Greta, the Dalai Lama, etc - and an hour of standup in place of a musical act.

Not this year either, and he's not as big as Peter Kay (I don't know how the world works).
