That looks good but two door cinema club would be most likely than Billie Elish

I like this but a few things -

1. Giggs definitely is mainstage I think?

2. If BMTH are co headlining, Tame certainly should be and if Foals are to be a solo headliner then it should be catfish and tame, with BMTH subbing Foals.

3. Sherlocks are probably a bit too that slot maybe - thats one slot earlier than fidlar's on the sunday who are great but surely not bigger than Sherlocks over here. Would expect Love Fame Tragedy maybe a little later on too or perhaps a sub spot on FR stage if an album comes out and he isn't just playing wombats songs

[Andre91]

Excellent lineup but Parkway Drive aren’t playing in that tent and that low down and Architects are big enough to headline that stage. I also think WSS are a bit too low; they’re doing Brixton. I would love that lineup. 

[SemiSweet]

Slipknot // Lorde // RHCP

Would eat that the fuck up.

Lorde headlining 

[frontsidecab]

Lorde would make a strong R1 headliner imo.

[SemiSweet]

Lorde is better than half the dross we've had in recent years. A fantastic performer. It would be an inspired choice. If she can smash it again with her third album then she should.

Kinda for that exact reason she should stay far away. Is she big enough to do APE?

Very strong and realistic, but I can see Foals headlining the Sunday at Reading as they seem to like to have crowd pleasing rock bands close the festival, and Stormzy on the Saturday which seems to be the rap headline night.

Kasabian releasing a new album this year/next year - possible they could be back after their 2017 show? Maybe something like Stormzy, RHCP, Kasabian?

Can see them doing APE or something, maybe smaller festivals Truck, Y Not etc. in build up to album release

Reckon someone decent could squeeze in between Tyler and 21S

Edit: thought I read ‘can’t’ tbf. Reckon it’d be fine, they had The 1975 in there in 2016 so

Two door cinema club subbing is just horrid... Not because it’s unlikely it’s just horrid.

I feel Tyler would be a sub right?

Two Door have really stepped it up recently in their live performances. Their headline set at Truck was a better show than I’ve seen some perform at Werchter and Reading over 5 festivals. Not saying they should headline by any means but would make a good sub imo.

Regardless of whether they do a secret set this year or not, I reckon Kasabian are a good bet for next year.

Stormzy, Green Day, Kasabian

[Sam Y]

The Killers 

Travis Scott + BMTH

Kasabian

[robillustrates]

If Foals aren't headlining Glastonbury and it ends up with someone like the 1975 instead, I would bet they end up headlining Reading and Leeds.

Foals, Queens of the Stone Age and Stormzy?

To fit the newer balance of the festival.

Tame Impala are a good shout as well.

Also that BMTH didn't headline on this year of the album cycle, might make 2020 less likely for them though.

Could easily see Wolf Alice on Main Stage, Idles is another good shout. Tame Impala could even headline off their next album.
My only issue with this prediction is it feels too strong as a lineup compared to what they tend to book these days. You do get some very random choices even as high as sub headliner these days to pad the quality out across the stages.

[QuizzicalEly]

Are Muse out of the question?  I don't think they've played a UK festival since 2017

[robillustrates]

I wouldn't say out of the question but they did headline Reading fairly recently in 2017. They might be more interested in other festivals, returning to Glastonbury or doing a big Stadium/outdoor show instead.
