I am now onboard the Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift train.

Re Fake Poster thread since it’s not the nicest thread at the moment.

I made this just as Santana was ruled out - I’ve mentally replaced him with Earth Wind & Fire

I could get on board with this, there's at least one act on every single line that I'd be happy to see.

Sort that font out though.

Glasto font is always a bit ugly and it’s hard to recreate!

Listening to Alive 2007 for the first time in a while this morning. Oh my. Please.

It's happening!  Everyone knows Alive 2017 was postponed for 3 years to coincide with Glastonbury 50 and the end of Bangalter's tinnitus treatment.

Hi all, verified long-time lurker here with some spicy information. ?️

Heard from one friend two weeks ago that had heard from a confirmed but I'd imagine questionable source in the music industry that Sunday will be co-headlined by Madonna and Taylor (not sure how that works?) and Macca on Saturday, with Friday not yet confirmed.

Then heard from another friend unrelated to the above friend who also runs in the music industry circles that Sunday was going to be co-headlined by Madonna and Taylor, Macca on Saturday and Kendrick in negotiations for Friday.

I follow the forum as often as possible, but I forget if Madonna had been ruled out already or if it was still being debated whether she would cost too much? I thought my first mate was definitely chatting bollocks as I'd be surprised that either Madonna or Taylor would take a co-headline slot but then when my second mate mentioned the same set-up, the coincidence was a tad weird. Anyway, thought I would post on here so you can all tell me they're both full of shit which I can then relay back to them in a self-satisfied fashion.

Also happy to provide more info on sources to @eFestivals on pm if wanted.

I don't think I could handle how buzzing I would be if this was announced

Thank you, some of my best work but definitely got upstaged by on-screen brother, Hans.

Great, that's what I wanted to hear. I shall let them know posthaste.

Tove Lo, Alt J, Pixies, 21 pilots, billie eilish and Taylor Swift all just announced for mad cool - interesting

Disappointing they didn't announce Surfboarding Monkey.

No information on that, full line up later though 

[robillustrates]

That poster is painful on the eyes.

[Little Andy]

Is the talk of Coldplay headlining based on anything more than they have new music out? Any reason why they'd be more likely than Kendrick who is an R on the efestivals rumour page?

(also why am I torturing myself reading this when I didn't manage to get a ticket!  )

Could be Kendrick, Coldplay, Swift with Ross as the Legend and all this talk of Macca and the rest is just fan driven over reality.

Friends of the festival / festival house band / do it for heavily reduced fee or cost covering / previous multiple headliners

Because you are hoping that Coldplay are announce and all the people who claim to hate them so much put their tickets back in the pot so you can buy them in the resale (or maybe that's just me )

They're more likely than every act because they're fucking Coldplay!

Yep, Double Album, 50th Anniversary. Besties with Eavis, essentially the reliable house band and still a massive band worldwide, it's an easy booking for Eavis.

[Kalopsia]

Spent this morning listening to Taylor Swift (didn't realise the amount of songs I already knew every word too) I have now concluded that I would be absolutely down for a headline slot and she would smash it.

Bob Harrison disagrees

[Little Andy]

Because Coldplay have headlined so frequently, and so recently, then I would guess they would be more likely to be a HUGE secret act for the 50th, rather than a proper headliner ... unless they are struggling to get 3 huge acts (and they said they booked 2 ages ago, so I doubt it).
