That Twitter girl we've reference a few times has just tweeted that the rumoured act she'd mentioned is now no longer appearing, and that it's a boring band now instead. 

Still not sure how much credence to put into what she says, but interesting nonetheless.

that'll be The Killers then.

It took a lot of time and a lot of squinting for me to work out what this was, and then I'd never heard of them anyway

Haha no way!!! Well, there we go...it's basically set in stone. Although, annoyingly, it means we'll never figure out who the random artist was that we "weren't gonna like"

It's better if you accidentally miss some letters, Pulp would be great.

not sure how repeating a well-publicised rumour on here makes something "set in stone"?

she originally said McCartney had cancelled, which looks quite unlikely now, and more like he was never booked for G/BST at all.

Nooooooo! This is why it would be better to know...so we could hopefully console ourselves that it was never Gaga in the first place

I know....I was being a bit tongue in cheek because of all the analysis we've done on her tweets before. I always forget it doesn't work unless you stick an emoji at the end. My bad  However, I do believe the rumours (even if I'm not too excited by them)

Does anyone keep getting kicked out of the site from pop ups?? 

Apologies for the inconvenience.

The ad-house believe they've tracked this down and it should stop soon.

If you're still getting problems, please alert me directly rather than posting in a thread. I can't do anything if I don't see there's a problem.

Apologies mate, will do in future.  And thanks.

Read my mind

[jparx]

Maybe she has a poor taste in music and she's actually referring to Talking Heads?

From Vegas residency to Vegas residents.

Does this info not raise any eyebrows ie Liam subbing Killers on the Saturday as we thought? 

Or was this just guesswork going off him appearing with them somewhere last year? 

Liam subbing Cure Saturday or Liam subbing Killers/TBC Sunday? Prominence wise ye Liam will get a hell of a lot of BBC viewers and draw a huge crowd subbing either night. But the more I think about it the more I see him as a Sunday keep-the-locals-happy and viewers at home kinda act.

We need an announcement. ASAP.

that occurred to me too, and the info I have about Liam on Saturday also implies it's the killers on Saturday. It's why I said I still wouldn't put money on the days.

Could anybody summarise the last 797 pages for me? What's the most up-to-date guess as to who's headlining the top few stages? Apart from Stormzy is anybody else nailed on for a headliner slot?

Stormzy - Cure - Killers is the current thinking.

[H.M.V]

Really hoping for a Glastonbury curveball and something to be announced that we weren't expecting. Killers is just so meh.

Tame Impala and Janelle grooves are enough for me. 

Unless the curve ball is Gaga...

Ta.

Stormzy I'll probably see, The Cure I'd see if they were on earlier in the day and the Killers can get in the bin. Lots of other things to do though.
