Nice, figured it'd the Thursday headliner, tends to be the day most American bands wanna play as it means they can do other shows on the weekend 

[BlackFoxx]

Currently thinking Rise Against for that Thursday headliner. Any other guesses before the announcement?

[Mcbatesman]

I always love the slight ambiguity with them.

Says Thursday headliners not headliner, so we getting two?

Tbh they also use the plural when describing Wednesday headliners too. Could it not just be that the band themselves are plural which makes them collectively headliners?

 

Andre is a teacher isn't he? Does he teach English, can he help?

I love them being like we will give 35 out of the 70 artists we have confirmed that we dont overload them to a week later being we have more confirmations screw it they can have them all why not

Did they ever actually say 35? I assumed it was just someone confusing it with ATG as it was posted in here the same day they'd confirmed they were announcing 35 for ATG

Preferable for international headliners to play on Thursday so they can then play other shows, typically London, on the Friday or Saturday, where they've got a better chance of selling more tickets. Less of an issue for UK headliners as they can play here much more easily whenever they want.

Surely it's still just headliner? Though i don't really understand what you mean by the band is plural 😆

If the band has multiple members in it then could you refer to them collectively as being headliners using the plural. As in "The Gaslight Anthem are our Thursday headliners".  Does that make grammatical sense, I'm not sure. Might be out of my depth here.  😆

Yeh I get that logic, but how come he thinks the headliner is American - as he expected it might be Thursday's headliner getting announced? I remember him saying he sometimes gets info before the announcement so wonder if that's the case

Ah I reckon that bit might just be a punt on conflating international with likely being American. Happy to be corrected if we do have some intel pre-announcement though.

Hmm a band name is a proper noun so I don't think they are plural?!?

 

So it would be "the Beatles are the Glastonbury Friday night headliner" not "the Beatles are your Friday night headliners"

 

But yeah I could also be talking nonsense as well, where's northernangel when you need him 😆

I didnt say I think it's an American band, I said it tends to be an American band, not my fault if people thought I was hinting at something 😂

Trees have put up an insta post talking about Wednesday tickets and having one of the biggest Wednesday headliners ever, but 2 out of the 4 photos being Letlive. has got to be more than just coincidence surely...

Probably is a coincidence, I think they'd cost too much to have on the wednesday.

 

I reckon it's Creeper 

[Mcbatesman]

Yeah creeper or marmozets is my guess for Wednesday 

[FrogLobster]

With the amount of hype he gives them, id imagine James wouldn't waste Creeper on a Weds slot and would give them a proper mainstage slot instead.

Marmozets seems possible.

That's why hes properly hyping up the Wednesday slot I reckon 

 

They've played every big slot except headliner and they're not there yet.

[Andrinald]

Would make sense actually as been thinking they're an awkward one who James would love to re-book but doesn't want to keep booking in repeat slots. I'd wondered about a glorified 'co-headline' main stage slot but Wednesday headliner could make sense and would be excellent. 

 

Marmozets also wouldn't suprise me for that slot but I think they'd also play another time during the fest if it was them.

[readingnotleeds]

Im still leaning towards letlive for wednesday tbh, if it was someone else they'd surely just use photos from the forest or word stage to advertise the wednesday. They're playing Rock am and Graspop so are active in Europe next summer (though Trees could admittedly be a little late, watch them get announced for Download later and I'll U-turn)
