No problem with Elton playing, just let's have artists in the appropriate slots. I don't like him, but he is a legend, get him in that slot, free up the headline slot for someone more contemporary.

I didn't get to see either due to clashes but Bille and Kendrick are the sort of booking they should be looking at for headliners. Saw Billie in 2019, she was very good.

If it is AM, GNR and Elton then yeah we're missing the kinda booking of Billie, Kenny, Stormzy etc

But it's 3 massive headliners, 2 of which are debutants. 

It's a decent trio.

I saw her in 2019. As mime artists go, she’s no Marcel Marceau.

Will Elton join Rina Sawayama or vice versa? That’s the main question.

Usually more likely that the smaller artist joins the bigger artist. Has a Pyramid headliner ever appeared earlier in the day on a smaller stage? I'm sure it has happened but I can't think of one.

Would be fine with Prodigy vs Elton. No need for more Reg after the finale last week. Tough to do better, especially as its just on Disney Plus to watch whenever. 

Nah - very easy to do better ... on the Pyramid with all you lovely people.  Waaaay better 😊

Alex Turner joined Miles Kane in the John Peel tent to do a last shadow puppets track when they headlined in 2013. Can’t think of any more .

I think Bruce joined the Gaslight Anthem in 09… but I may be making that up.

Did I mention I love threads like this ... im buzzing for this announcement , was feeling a bit grumpy with talk of gnr and am earlier 

That was me earlier - but this has me buzzing now.  Really can't think of anyone else (other than Taylor obvs) who would be a better booking this year.  The stars are hopefully aligning

Who would guest with him? Would love Dua of course.

Maybe Eminem, so Reg could have some hip hop after having his hip op😉

You laugh but he did actually work with Em, he did the chorus on the Live version of Stan on Curtain Call. Think he’s a bit beyond hip hop now though! 😂

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
