LZ I don’t mind missing. Was a crazy rumour but FM was a big hopeful. Is this definitely confirmed as a no. 

[Mash011]

Ruling out FM and not McCartney looks like a dead giveaway to me. 75/McCartney/Swift.

Need some context on the ruling out of FM but yeah, that's my initial reaction. 

[bruce85]

She flat out said no to fleetwood, she brought up LZ without being ask and said she didn’t think that would happen.

she said 2 headliners are booked and still working on the last one. 

She was ask about a ticket ballot and didn’t seem to keen on the idea. 

[jparx]

Mmmm not too much given away there. I do think ruling out FM but not also Macca, when both names are massively linked for next year, puts Macca back in the frame IMO.

Surprised there's still one left to get sorted.

[Monkeyboy84]

To be clear, she was asked directly by the interviewer, Hugo Rifkind, about Fleetwood Mac. She ruled it out but led to a discussion about how she is always asked about them and Led Zeppelin specifically.

lifeline for the Foals believers there, I guess. or it fits in with the whole 1975 praying hands emoji thing.

Makes me think of Emily's positive comments regarding the 1975 throwing their hat into the ring.

Ah okay. Perhaps nothing to read in to re: Macca then.

[Slugworth]

1975, Foals, Swift then.

 

And back to reality...

[jyoung]

Interesting stuff. Led Zep was obv a dead rumour but it's a shame about Fleetwood Mac. Wonder how far along they are with the third headliner?! Fascinating stuff. To be a fly on the wall at Glasto HQ would be a dream.

Why wouldn't they book 1975 at this point? Assuming they aren't already one of the two, they still have a final headliner to book. 1975 want to do it, they will be available and they already did Reading in '19, so that's one less festival they could headline instead. It's a slam dunk for me.

I'm going for:

The 1975 / Bon Iver

Macca / LDR

Taylor Swift / Foals

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Not going to lie, gutted with the FM admission. I doubt I'll be seeing a pyramid headliner now and I like to see one at least. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Maybe brings Elton back into contention

Yeh, I've accepted that it will probably be The 1975 (why wouldn't it be?) And reasonably unlikely that I'll be at any pyramid headliners....

Maybe she just means they're not headlining? Secret set still possible surely ?

Doubt Foals would accept Pyramid sub again, more likely to headline other stage id say.

[Doug85]

No news on Swift or the Stones either then.

Soz, that's what I meant. Bon, LDR and Foals on t'Other.

[squirrelarmy]

It’s gonna be Coldplay isn’t it. No point fooling ourselves that it was ever going to be anyone else.

Course they would, Pyramid sub is by all accounts a more prominent slot. Them being on the Other would be more a matter of the festival trying to avoid booking acts into the same slots.
