Unsure if we’d get 2/3 unleashed stage headliners back again the next year - can see shy fx being bumped up too alongside someone like hybrid minds for the another dnb headliner then someone like Wilkinson/Camelphat for the 3rd 

chase and status are a good shout but if the prodigy are around doing one of the days at boomtown (seeing as they dropped out last year so likely will be there this year) I can see them being more likely for boardies

I hope the prodigy don’t headline. IMO they don’t feel like they’d be worthy of a headline slot without Keith. Saw them the other day and was great but just didn’t feel amazing

Did we go to the same show

They'd absolutely smash it, their ally pally show was excellent.

Perfect act for boardies - dancey but still popular with older people

likewise, saw them in Brighton and ally pally on this tour  completely smashed it and well worthy of headline slots

Yeah, great at Ally Pally and even got me to unfold my arms and shuffle my feet a little and that takes an awful lot 🙂

Chase and status / stormzy / kasabian 

[Will b]

Were getting a similar sized announcement to last year then - 2 headliners + 30 more acts 

[Properbigfan]

no skepta 😞

[Properbigfan]

Less than 24 hours to go!

final prediction for headliners for me is

chase and status (live) and kasabian!

Saw someone suggest catfish - interesting shout they have a history with the festival and would be a good catch for them 

[Will b]

If I had to guess 2 healiners rn I’d say prodigy and stormzy

Headlining reading and they don’t tend to share healdiners with boardies

Stormzy would be a hell of a grab

I’d argue he’s bigger.

LG hasnt headlined glasto

No but LG has Definitly had a surge in popularity the last couple years whereas stormzy hasn’t rly done much (although I agree he’s still massive). 
boardies are not unknown to have previous glasto headliners play either eg kings of Leon, Florence, gorillaz etc

If they went for someone cheap as the other headliner eg Courteeners (still unexplained as to why they follow liam fray on Instagram) I think it’s doable

LG is a far bigger seller and likely charges more I think

Both are good options

Do you have any stats to back up him being a better seller ?

[Gingerfish79]

Looking for a Glastonbury alternative for next summer. Does Boardmasters usually sell out?

Look at Liam Gallaghers just sold out arena tour alongside TRNSMT and R&L headline slots... also the 2 knebworth dates etc

Its not even close

Yeah…. That’s obvious right? Not sure Stormzy even sold out his APE day until the last second

yes pretty quick. Theres usually resale batting around but if you are 95% certain i would buy sooner rather than later. Can always resell later if needs be

This year's festival had quite a few cheapies on Tixel and Twickets a couple of weeks before the event, works wonders if you like a last-minute plan!
