We can share a lift from Cardiff after his Wednesday gig if he wants. I’ll wait around for him in exchange for an artists pass.

Arctic Monkeys / Harry Styles / Elton John looks like a very Glastonbury top 3. Still think GNR would stick out like a sore thumb. 

and Axl Rose is notorious for turning up for festival sets late.. I don't think Glastonbury would tolerate that?

I remember waiting over an hour at Leeds fest once - he thought he could just run over time to suit himself

GnR never really sat right in my mind.  Emily's throwaway comment (wasn't it "they've got the pay one year haven't they?" in response to being asked about them) is what's mainly fuelling speculation and she could have just been deflecting to keep them in the running for some point in the future.

So if it is Styles/AM/Elton then it's in that order, coz Styles can only play the Friday?  To be fair, I can see that.  Younger artist on Friday, big current act Saturday, heritage act Sunday is a well worn path for the festival.  Feels like a fit to me in a way that including GnR never did.

So @Super Johnny Fos, who started this Harry chat today said the three headliners were Harry - GnR - Elton

@Crazyfool01 saying his original info was Harry - AM - Elton

Can't both be right....

For what it's worth,@roughbloke started the GnR discussion (after their odds falling dramatically and Emily saying they "have to play" at some point in an interview) based on hearing they were pulled in to replace Taylor 

It is what I heard. I’ve still got no reason not to believe it but I guess things can change. 
 

definitely don’t see GnR playing anything other than headline (if they do). 
 

harry will definitely headline in the next few years but I kinda feel that AM were booked ages ago…pre them releasing their album, everyone was quite excited for them. When the singles/album were released that excitement died a fair bit imo. So if glasto booked arctics last year then that would have seemed like a great booking as it still had all the mystery.

Emily wasn’t asked about GnR, she was asked about what heavy bands she’d like after having Motörhead etc and she said ‘Guns and Roses have to play don’t they?’

But Aerosmith wouldn't? What's the difference?

GnR are just a bigger deal, especially with Slash and Duff now back. The shows they play (and sell out) here are ginormous compared to Aerosmith. And let’s be honest, Aerosmith were also far too big for that slot and they must’ve really have wanted to play the festival to accept it as it surely would’ve been the first time they’d played but not headlined a festival in decades.

He was right on time at Coachella. Pay Axl properly and he behaves.

Arctic Monkeys could definitely do the legends slot, as they've got about 6 albums out now and been around for ages. Pulp will deffo headline one night as they're on a comeback and that means Harry Styles does the Friday, with GnR opening the other.

Can't tell if this is serious. Concerning.

Harry takes 22nd off. turns up on the farm on Friday with a fair bit of his UK set up, where the bigger pieces for 'stadiums' are going across to Belgium. Overnight plane after Glastonbury with his stuff to play 24th?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
