very strong

What I'm hoping for is Chems headlining Other, Thom Yorke or Low headlining Park and then Foals or Tame Impala (unlikely) Headlining Other. Imo that would be strong - I bloody hate having f all to see in the headline splot dunno why

[sisco]

I love The Killers so I for one am very very happy my this.  

[JoBalls]

Well, at least it should be marginally easier to get tickets for next year...

[CaledonianGonzo]

Where should I start with The Killers?  Best album? Any famous songs?

Where's that fella who's favourite album of all time is 'Sam's Town'?

[Wooderson]

The “be thankful” stuff never sat well with me. After a fallow year the fest should have done better, soz.

I've got ham but I'm not a hamster

[Havors]

I think the Killers are great always a good show..... However...... I think they stalk me and have headlined festivals ive been to countless times now... including last year at IOW.. I would rather someone else have a chance

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'll say this for The Killers - they've done well for a band fronted by a haunted ventriloquist's dummy. 

They may not have the tunes or the setlist, but he has a sparkly jacket and a revolving bow-tie.

I wouldn’t say it’s about being thankful, more “who else could they have got?”. They have a set fee and they can make offers but if The Mac and Macca don’t want to do it then what else can they do?

Upping the fee would set a dangerous precedent and change Glastonbury away from what makes it great into being money and headliner-focussed. Not worth it when we can just go to one of the many other stages.

The Killers will go down well with the "cancel-kanye-and-book-a-rock-band-like-foo-fighters-brigade".   It's an uninspired booking, sure, but they'll have a huge crowd and will go down will the casual attendee.

Gucci Piggy is banned, remember?

[thrillhouse188]

Looking like I won't be popping my glasto cherry with a Pyramid headliner after all, damn you Flowers!

[Mattymooz]

Janet Jackson, Childish Gambino and Liam Gallagher would be a really stong set of subs, and I guess that would leave Chris & The Queens potentially for the Other headline vs. Stormzy?

They'll probably think they're enjoying themselves too. The ruddy idiots.

Could not agree more with this sentiment.

Feel they'll go for a bigger name and probably a rock band (or at least something more accessible than C&TQ) in that slot, can't see C&TQ fitting. Other sub though I reckon.

Yeah, exactly. That is not a world class set of headliners. Might cut it for Latitude, but not Glastonbury.

[Amy Lawn]

Yeah, you all know very well, there are only three acts in the world they could've got to headline this year. So stop being wilfully obtuse and get yer tops off for Mr Brightside eh?

Would love to see Chris' and the Queens under Childish' just coz thats an awesome 1 - 2 in terms of stage presence and performance. I still hope for Tame Impala on Friday headliner for Other

The less I know about this lineup the better. (I’ll see myself out)

[priest17]

If we somehow end up with a line up that I can see Iggy Pop, Childish Gambino and Tame Impala all in the same evening it's a good line up. Especially as seemingly every festival is having an off year this year.

(I'm aware I will probably end up with none of these bands).
