By sunday it's turned into a Fight Club scenario where Mash is chucking himself down the big hill because he heard someone whisper that The 1975 are shit. 

They are shit though, aren’t they?

I saw them in 2012 or 13 at Y-not at like 3 in the afternoon, fine I thought but fairly landfill indie and never really thought about them ever again. Fair play if people like them but it was astonishing to me when I saw people on here talking about them as potential headliner.

Foals? FOALS? Who the fck are Foals?

If that isn't the very definition of "a Glastonbury shaped hole" then I don't know what is

Bruno Mars has slightly more spotify plays than James Arthur, so together with Taylor Swift, we have our trio.

Macca, Elton John and Kendrick can sub, based on their monthly streaming numbers.

The 1975 can sub Jason Derulo on West Holts.

They have grown massively since then, selling out the o2 and headlining Reading, I mean just watch a bit of their Reading set from this year and you will see how big they have become and why people are talking about them headlining Glastonbury

[Sargey Babes]

That's wild to me. Good for them I guess.

Careful mind if you say that 3 times into the mirror then Chris Martin appears and headlines Glastonbury.

Odds obviously mean nothing but Kendricks gone 8/11 favourite with Macca which I’m loving. Swift third at 4/5, FM at 6/4, Foals at 13/8, 75 at 7/4, EJ at 5/2, Coldplay at 7/2, same as AM.

Interesting that FM still have high odds after being ruled out by Emily. Don’t the bookies visit this site?

Kendrick/Macca/Swift would be too amazing to be true. Thankfully, it almost certainly won't be those three.

[Matt42]

I’m hoping this is 2015 and Kendrick is announced out of nowhere just like Kanye was!

Funny that the 2 nailed on headliners who are already signed are still 7/2

[kingbadger]

Maybe Foals and The 1975 should merge and form a supergroup with Chris Martin.

You sure? Kendrick has more Spotify plays than Foals

Asparagus & The Cuttlefishmen headlining? Jeeze, that’s a scary thought. 

Catnip & The Bottletops, terrifying

[Crazyfool01]

so that is a couple of potentials rulled out .... when's the next event ? do we get some more ruled out and then an announcement to coincide with the book launch on the 31st ?

Personally think we'll have some sort of news by then. I don't expect an announcement ON the 31st, perhaps some more hints/acts ruled out like yesterday, but I reckon we'll get a headliner announcement before the book launch for some extra publicity.

[Hugh Jass]

I still think they should do a advent calendar of one artist announced (big or small, any stage) per day in December...

[thrillhouse188]

I do like the idea of announcing a random act every day up until the first poster drop

That’s 2019’s headliners very well summed up! 

I wasn’t bothered about missing out this year. The headliners definitely seemed like they were saving the really big guns for 2020. 

I dont think this is the case but I really hope it is. 2019 was woeful in way of headliners for me, out of the 'big' stages I was only bothered about chemical brothers...so that's one headliner out of 12! (Pyramid, Other, WH, JP).

[JSmurphy]

I really do hope Elton John and Taylor Swift are booked up, with Paul McCartney in talks. Couldn't get much better than that.

[Crazyfool01]

I love thinking about ways that they could announce the headliners

Bookies don't actually care who is playing. They will stick anyone up there if people are willing to bet on it.

Love this idea. Even if they used some of the days to confirm Beans on Toast, Mik Artistik etc it would be great way to keep the excitement going before the main announcement.
