They might play it, but they wont headline it so it's a waste of a bet.

Are we all aboard the "Radiohead to sub the Pyramid" train again? Woo woo.

Park guest slot or acoustic set in a yurt somewhere, but they aint on the Pymild.

If you told Neil Young he had to follow Kylie Minogue and play all his hits in something called the "Legends Slot" he'd go out of his way to unleash a wall of shapeless feedback for an hour.

Bring it on ?

[jparx]

I'd pay £16K to see them in a yurt for sure.

[Matt42]

HAHA YES

I don’t care legit this is brilliant. 2017 was so good that I am desperate to see them at the festival again.

Radiohead somewhere on the bill would be lovely. Maybe 2017 made Thom remember that this is the greatest festival on the planet and they get such a warm reception every time they do it.

you could see that Thom was physically taken back a bit at the response they got on the night.

I don't mind Radiohead playing again although would prefer if they weren't headlining. Definitely up for a secret/smaller set though

Agreed, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Thom and at least some of the lads pop up somewhere, but they're not headlining.

I'm not sure Radiohead would do the Park again, or anyone of that size for that matter. 2011 with them and Pulp got stupid up there, health and safety concern stupid

Probably the first time ever that half his audience has fucked off.

Radiohead back to do the exact same set as 2017 but this time adding Reckoner and having the band visible on the screens. I’m in!

2017 showed the John Peel can easily be done for a huge band though.

[jparx]

Part of me just thinks they've smashed the pyramid three times now, might be best to just leave it at that as far as headlining goes.

Secret set somewhere would be cracking. I'd like an acoustic set with stuff like Spinning Plates, Motion Picture Soundtrack and Fog getting a run out, with Fake Plastic Trees, Karma Police, Reckoner etc sprinkled in.

[scatteredscreens]

Christ, I need to tame my expectations, Radiohead in any form next year would be immense.

[a6l6e6x]

If Radiohead do it I want the bends in full

Reckon they will do a secret set, not headline

[dentalplan]

Maybe it’s because Kate Bush has agreed to play but she needs Radiohead to sub because she has stage fright.

We’ve gone delirious already, it’s delayed heatstroke from Saturday.

If Radiohead do it next year then I'm sorry Matt, I can't come to your wedding.

N.B. I have a friend called Matt who has decided to book his wedding for Glasto weekend 2020.

I'll take a picture for you. 

N.B. we have known each other for years so I'm not randomly being a dick to a stranger.

You'll go to the wedding and take a picture of it for me? How kind!

[Matt42]

Remember when we also convinced ourselves of a 4am slot on some stage? Would be fantastic if they played late night weird tunes

[Matt42]

So it’s been ringing in my head what @dentalplan and others discussed earlier about it seeming like the 1975 are not in the frame. The only way that I can actually convince myself that Glasto wouldn’t call them is if they already have the “newer headlining act” sorted.

Shes not really been discussed much recently and I’m quite surprised about that but what about Ariana Grande?

I thought she’d be a shoe in for the mid pyramid pop slot like Miley did. However I think Glastonbury would struggle to get her to play below headline when she’s comfortably playing headliner slots across the globe. Miley and Katy were not exactly on top of the game when they played. 

The Stormzy performance somewhat proves that booking a popular act (even if some argue is premature) can pay off if the act puts on a good performance. Ariana has to be on Emily’s radar surely for something! I reckon if her tour dates didn’t conflict with the festival we may have seen her on the bill in 2019.

Probably and idealistic trio but if Glasto secured Ariana Grande, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John that would surely be a fantastic trio to celebrate the 50th. A little bit of everything there. Even if they didn’t get Fleetwood and it was Foals, Ariana, Elton that would still be a strong trio.

Thom's taking over Chris Martin's shift from this year and coming onstage with every single act.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Unless her stock plummets in the next 7 or 8 months Ariana's a headliner.

But doubt they'd have her the same year as Swizzle and it was Swizzle that could be spied loitering in a dark corner this year.

If the spier in question didn't hallucinate her, which is up for debate.
