I believe Brian May is currently writing a song called badgers are bastards in a vain attempt to ingratiate himself with Michael. 

Tie Your Badger Down?

Followed quickly by Another One Bites The Dust.

We Will Brock You

[Ayrshire Chris]

All the above suggestions will be in their sett

Apparently Coldplay are releasing an “experimental” new album next month and then another “mainstream” new album in 2020, so we may as well just resign ourselves now to them headlining... ??‍♀️?

Honestly, yeah. When it seemed like they would be lucky to get one album out before June 2020 I thought we were safe. Two albums before then and a mooted European tour including festivals in the summer?

I have absolutely no issue with Coldplay popping up on the bill as long as they’re not headlining the Pyramid one night.

Coldplay, Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift would be annoying but also (probably) the biggest three headliners Glasto have had.

The only way I can see them not headlining the Pyramid is if it was a secret set on at the same time as Diana Ross or someone else of that calibre?

[Matt42]

Have you noticed that Coldplay always seem to get booked on a year that a female mega popstar is booked? I wonder if there’s a reason lol.

One night they won't be headlining the Pyramid is probably Sunday.

[squirrelarmy]

Friday night: Coldplay 

Saturday night: Coldplay

Sunday night: Coldplay

Coldplay and Taylor are the two headliners they’ve booked innit. They were talking to both of them since 2017. Taylor discussions started the second Ed Sheeran was booked to do it. Coldplay obviously wanted to return and headline for the 50th anniversary.

Emily’s kids are hell bent on her securing Macca because kids love the Beatles.

It all

makes

sense

By popular consensus, even on these boards at the time, Coldplay nailed their last headline set. Think what you like of the music, but they bring a top show to the Pyramid.

Still, it won’t have escaped the festival’s attention that the band, and certainly CM, are on the verge of becoming a meme at this point due to how regularly they appear. I think Coldplay may be a backup headliner incase someone drops out but I would be surprised if they were booked outright. It doesn’t exactly scream “pulling out all the stops for the 50th”, does it?

If that ongoing discussion is with Macca and the backup is Foals then bring on Taylor and Coldplay I'm down diggy diggy down diggy diggy down down

Worth reminding ourselves now and then that Emily has never actually promised to go above and beyond for next year.

Don't do this, I'd really like to enjoy a Pyramid headliner at the 50th anniversary

[CaledonianGonzo]

Does feel like theyre more likely to show up busking on the bandstand or something rather than occupying pole position.

[RarerThanDandyB]

Means nothing but how are Aerosmith getting so high up Sky Bet. There 7/4 better odds than Coldplay and Elton John while only being a quid better than Foals. Madness. Imagine Aerosmith headline.
