They've got the same tunes as when they were booked last time for Other and had to pull out. Good friends of the festival too i thought?

Other sure, I'm under impression "headline Saturday" means the pyramid.

I would like Prodigy to close on Sunday on the Other stage personally.

Umm.. Why's Capaldi shot in to 2-1?

Probably because they’ve had a few bets placed and decided to lower the odds.

bait to get punters to bet on it perhaps

That’s quite a jump. Perhaps he is playing and people are putting bets on him (but he’s not actually headlining). 

[Alvoram]

I'm not sure if I even know a Lewis Capaldi song... And I don't mind pop music, quite like some of it. 

OK, so I obviously googled him after typing that and I do know some songs... One or two I quite like, but they all sound the same, and I find most of them quite boring... Fantastic pipes on the lad though... Not for me however, would be a boring headliner, and I'd be elsewhere.

I'd be surprised if he wasn't playing next year. Looks a pretty solid bet to sub to me.

Cracking voice and a funny guy but yeah, his songs are very samey.

Would go down well in the afternoon / evening but is a very safe and bland headliner

The Elton sub that we really don’t want.

OK now it's just getting weird. That's a lot of money being thrown at someone that hasn't even really been discussed on here?

Can we imagine it being Capaldi, GNR and Elton with Arctics being 2024.

It’s been said before but worth saying again, the market for Glastonbury headliners must be incredibly small. A few tenner bets would be enough to shift the odds considerably.

True, but I think a move from more than 8-1 (can't see exactly as didn't screenshot beyond the first page) into evens for Capaldi who hasn't even been suggested on here, certainly not recently, suggests something somewhere has prompted a fair number of bets. 

Edit: especially bearing in mind its a sudden jump in the betting, not a slow move.

If Lewis Capaldi is the level at which is being settled upon for the suitability to headline, I'd much prefer they gave the slot to Lizzo for a multitude of reasons. FWIW, I don't think either are ready (and certainly very unlikely) but as we're discussing the possibility based upon some strange betting data, it's worth making a comparison

odds worth betting on, the odds are so bad for the others they're not worth the bother.

anyone having a punt, will put their money where it'd be worthwhile winning.

[gfa]

Even if Lewis Capaldi was headliner level (he's not!) - he wouldn't be headlining about 5 other festivals across the country alongside a glasto appearance.

Yep the main one being she's at least a million times better than him.

Isn't Capaldi headlining R+L? Would be very weird if he also did Glasto, when was last time that happened?

[HamishA.]

has anything ruled Beyonce out of the Sat night headline spot? You'd imagine she has a good relationship with the festival after headlining in 2011, it'd be a great balance of headliners with Arctics and Elton, and we know there's a 2023 world tour coming as she auctioned off backstage tickets, and flights to one of the shows.

Odd that she hasn't announced the tour yet already imo, as that auction was 2 months ago. Perhaps there's a festival headline show holding the announcement up... (appreciate most likely wishful thinking)

He's headlining the second stage I believe, which is the equivalent of a sub slot at Glastonbury.

I'm manifesting this. As you say, we already know she has stuff to announced, I think a return to Glasto after a phenomenal album this year would be just great.
