That said we have headliners for Friday and Saturday sorted but cannot announce now until the first week of January.

haha so impatient! I'm thinking the same thing!

[Gnomicide]

The last news letter said they would announce the headliners in the first week of January.

"Due to the Christmas and New Year break the paperwork on the last of our headliners has yet to be completed and we are hoping to be in a position to announce next Friday (12th).

In the meantime, we are very pleased to announce BT favourites Dub Pistols will join us on the Pallet Stage in 2018."

Is that definitely as headliner? Bit uninspiring for me but I suppose they must've been the replacement for the band that dropped out.

It does not specify headliner or not but there is a gap On Sunday 3rd down which might be where they slot in.

BT twitter confirmed that Dub Pistols are playing that 3rd down slot.

[The Red Telephone]

Amy guesses for the 2 remaining headliners slots?

Think the Manics may be one...at a loss for the other!

So Dubioza Collectiv followed by the Dub's. Need loads of energy for those two

Ah. Good stuff, didn't think they could be headliner material.

Orbital? The Mondays? Frank Turner? Paul & Jacqui? 

[spudthemariner]

Rich has said on a thread on the BT Chat site on Facebook that 'We have two very good bands who are totally different, one on a full UK exclusive and the other only doing a few UK shows. One being BT on its own and the other shows later in the year'!

So I'd say that that puts The Mondays out of the running, and probably Frank / Paul & Jacqui as well!

Intriguing anyway....roll on next Friday!

That does rule out Frank, he's got a new album out and said he's doing loads of shows.

I'm hoping for The Cult but that's based on no logic whatsoever.

Heed my words - for they are a truth. Friday and Saturday headliners will be:

Franz Ferdinand

or The Cult

or The Sisters of Mercy

or The The

or Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbot

or Happy Mondays

or Leftfield

or Primal Scream

or The Stranglers (although they played a coupe of years ago)

or The Charlatans (at a push, not sure they'd go down well with the BT crowd)

or Public Service Broadcasting (although they're probably not quite big enough)

or another band I haven't thought of.

Thought The Alarm were a bit shit last year. All that running between mics did my head in.

Oh... hang on.

Anyways.... BT Twitter has confirmed the announcement will be 7pm tomorrow.

Their Twitter also now says that Saturday's headliner will be announced. Still not there with Friday's one  then?

[glastonburynoodles]
