Has anyone considered the combination of The Weeknd on Friday, Muse on Saturday, Elton on Sunday? Dates for the former two seem to line up and it would be diverse. The Friday night is also often the more contemporary slot and Muse would have enough material to fill the longer Saturday slot.

Looks like The Weeknd is in Amsterdam on the Saturday, having been in Norway on the Tuesday - think that puts him in same category as Blur and Styles as hard to see happening logistically

Chems are my favourite artist. Was never saying they are the very best but they are far from shit - they wouldn't have headlined every festival under the sun if they weren't half decent. Fantastic live show as well of course.

Camelphat are fine but don't even come close. Their biggest song is about *checks notes* ... ah yes, date rape.

Glasto thursday this year was terrible and I saw him in 2019 and it was atrocious. Not giving him any more chances

[Radiochicken]

Would GnRs fit in that mad Aerosmith slot that was going to happen but couldn’t? Or are GnR just massively more popular than Aero?

or chuck in Camelphat ahead of Chemical as well. 

Yikes, that's a hot take. Although I agree that the Chems have possibly oversaturated themselves in the past five years, the suggestion that Camelphat's output is superior (even against Tom and Ed's recent work) is a hard one to get on board with. I'd like to see the Chems veer off into something slightly less formulaic in the future but their live show is still up there with most top tier electronic acts

Aerosmith didn't sell out hyde park either of the last 2 times they played. 

Gnr did almost double the tickets in London

Do people genuinely think gnr will headline the Saturday? I thought maybe they’d do the Sunday but really can’t see them relying on gnr (specifically Axl) for that Saturday night slot

[Alking]

So Mel C just said she’s hopeful they’ll be another reunion… Spice girls on the farm??

If what we’ve heard is true, it was originally supposed to be Taylor Swift but she dropped out to do her US tour instead so they had to draft in GnR, so Saturday it is. Suppose they’re not too dissimilar to Macca, Metallica, the Stones, Bruce etc as a big oldie Saturday night act, despite reception to them headlining undoubtedly not being as enthusiastic as that lot.

Sunday legend as a warm-up for a full blown tour....could it happen like that?

Subbing Pyramid or Legend Slot as an outside bet? Blur to open the Other Stage unannounced... hopefully.

I guess if Blur are playing, this on Friday is the only slot they could realistically do. Seems unlikely but would love to be proved wrong!

I really do wish they'd fuck off. Every bloody interview they bring up Glastonbury then finally admit they've never been asked, let's hope it stays that way.

They sold out a World Tour with hundreds of dates, including two at Tottenham Stadium at £100 to £250 a time.....Axl voice was decent when he sang for AC/DC and was for much of the World Tour where they played 3 hour sets. They only played 2 hours and less in UK because he had an issue with his voice. Like them or not, they are one of the biggest bands in the world.

Their only Hyde Park date was 2007. The second non sell out was even more of a fail as it was Clapham Common which was smaller.

Agreed. It's tedious begging at this point. At least Robbie had the decency to beg once then keep schtum.

I know 😁, I'm sure they'd go down a storm too but I'm fed up of reading about them and how they'd love to do the Legends slot/are lying about being in talks/will get Posh back for Glastonbury etc.

wouldn't have it any other way

efests traffic would be down a good 10% i reckon if mel c got banned from mentioning glasto

[CaledonianGonzo]

Just noticed that in his Instagram post Elton thanks Emily but not Michael.

Cancel him!

i kinda think they would have fitted it .... but the whole play for the slot is very off putting .... and the field full of union jack dresses might cause me to vomit

Having failed with Elton we now have folk trying to shoehorn GnR, one of the biggest and most successful rock bands of all time, into a non-headline slot.

I love this place sometimes.
