I've had info from a very reliable source that the headliners are Arctic Monkeys, Dua Lipa and Depeche Mode.

Now that would be far more like a proper set of headliners.

Shame the old piano geezer is already confirmed, could move him to the "legends slot" where he belongs, perfect for the picnic blanket and camping chair posse.

Duran Duran , would be a disservice just calling them pop

I’m interested why you really want people to engage and believe in this when it’s clearly duff info. If you’re even stumped thinking of someone who fits the mould… doesn’t that speak volumes?

Assuming it is AM and GnR... if I was in Glasto's position, I'd be tempted to hold back AM and announce them together, maybe with the rest of the lineup. Might feel a little less underwhelming than separate announcements. Idk.

Just saying…. AM headlining the fest isn’t as ‘underwhelming’ for people as the majority who post on here would have you think. They’ve always been an insanely popular band and I know many will be very happy with them as headliners🤷‍♂️

Out of interest, what makes you the voice in the know? Which record label do you work for?

Agree fully.  There’s 8 of us going this time and we’re all hoping they play (well some of the older stuff 😂)

Absolutely agree - going with 14 others and they’re all more than happy with the prospect of them headlining

No one is saying discussion should stop - but when we get an idea of what we are probably getting and it’s very hard to disprove it or challenge it, I dunno what you expect.

thanks, that sound much more likely than the other list.

You won't be so smug when Elton pulls off his mask to reveal he's actually Martin Gore in a leather codpiece.

[sisco]

I do think it’s the 3 heavily rumoured acts however let’s say for excitement sake something has changed and a unfairly labelled pop act has come in….. my guess is Bon Jovi.  Very poppy rock.

Go away for a day and see this thread has blown up, get excited and come over to see it’s just five pages of Matt and CF bickering.

FML.

[CaledonianGonzo]

People demanding curveballs again after Guns'n'Roses came along as a post Taylor Swift wildcard.

[Hugh Jass II]

My take at the moment is we have one certainty in Reg and two “most likely” candidates in AM and GnR, neither are 100% nailed on for me but right now they do seem the most likely outcome. Obviously there is still plenty of time for things to change but right now that would be my prediction too. Big different though between what I’ve said there and saying they’re definitely 100% nailed on.

People seem to be trying to manifest Styles, possibly because they’ve “heard something” and want the clout that comes with being proven right, but the dates don’t stack given what we know about his tours. Said right at the start that if Harry Styles had any intention of headlining Glastonbury he wouldn’t have taken that Belgium gig on the Saturday night. Had he been doing the Sunday in Belgium I’d happily entertain the prospect of him playing GF Friday.

I really wonder how some people on this forum survived 2009's set of headliners.

Who, by the way, all absolutely knocked it out of the park, I'm sorry to say.

What a year of misogyny that was. Racist too. 

[The Nal]

It was one step away from a fucking minstrel show.

Deliberately inflammatory posts don't usually get a rise from me but this is a bit ridiculous.  Sure there was an obvious absence of female headliners across most stages in 2009 but it's a bit much to suggest misogyny?

I'm completely unclued as to the 'racist' reference...happy to be educated though....
