Tbh given the acts we know of on the circuit next year it's pretty slim pickings in terms of big acts so far. Undercard is where it's gonna slap next year hopefully.

This is the key, they can only book who is available.

Macca and Kendrick may have been "exclusives" but they were ultimately honouring bookings from previous years.

At least for my own personal taste it was always gonna be difficult to top 2022.

Has one of you chucked a tenner on styles too, or was he always amongst the favourites?

So many acts have super low odds - they clearly have no clue

this sounds a bit just like they've looked at every lineup and see hes nowhere else currently. I think it would be advertised better if it actually was an exclusive (imo)

I can't believe Boardmasters has two of Glastonbury's headliners... 

Boardmasters has been stepping up their game headliner wise recently

It wont be Taylor, she is in the US on the Friday and the Saturday, cant see her playing the Sunday. 

My thoughts are AM, Elton, Rihanna.

Ah of course! Had forgotten about her US dates.

Great research!

Didn’t Macca play the Cheese and Grain the night before Glasto last year too? Not quite as far away as Moscow but he is in his 80s!

And people think Blur are ruled out because they’re in Dublin the day before. 🤦‍♂️ 

I was shocked at how Florence is the only act this century to not be on the mainland UK the day before and she was a last minute bump up.

Surely in this day and age, one of the headliners would or should be a female.  

Sorry resurrecting this point. If all rumours are true I find it quite mad that the only options we heard of/discussing are male. Like they’ve been through millions of alternatives and not a single female is getting the bump. This is why I doubt a lot of it. I think they’d take a chance on a female headliner rather than run through every male headliner going.

If Styles was doing back to back nights in different places anywhere else on his tour I'd agree, but he isn't anywhere.

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️
