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.

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

[Memory Man]

Elton and yard act, pls!

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

Something coming?

The BBC tweet was clearly a breadcrumb. They won't leave us hanging for *too* long.

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.

Preferably GnR as I feel like a AM crowd would be largely uninterested in QOTSA (and, tbf, uninterested in a lot of what AM bring to the table these days also). 

Urrgh.. do some research

Bruce.

But I think he's the only one.

CalGon you are such a lovely calm voice of reason. I hope you’re right

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 😊

I knew if it has happened someone on here would know but yes it's not likely to be a common occurrence. 

[Ayrshire Chris]

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

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

Did Sheeran ever do that acoustic set before his headline? It was strongly rumoured

Eminem doing Stan with him again would be magic

[Chrisp1986]

Yes please

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 .

[LoveAndTheft]

Based on latest news I am going for...

 

Friday - Blur / Arctic Monkeys 

Saturday - Peter Kay /Guns n Roses 

Sunday - Elton John / Taylor Swift

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

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! 😂

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not super fussed on guests but would take Kiki Dee.
