Me personally hope your mates are talking bollox As I think all of them mentioned are utter shite ,  I know you can not please everybody, but ffs they can do better than that , for headliners ..  just my opinion 

I really don't think they could do better than that

[topmarksbri]

Having watched both thought Watchmen (so far) has been much better. Loved The Boys though.

Ho would a co-headline setup of Madonna and Taylor work? I can't see why either would agree to it. They're both big enough to headline in their own right. Someone would have to come on first, and so they wouldn't be seen as a true headliner. Unless they alternated songs, which would be hilariously awkward.

Didn't we establish not so long back that Madonna's asking price is higher than most?

Well, she's only gonna play half of a headline slot, so that's money saved....which must mean Taylor is playing for free.

This rumour has to be the most nonsensical so far.

Wilco TBC? Maybe not a Pyramid headliner...but would fit The Park

Leonard Cohen was on before The Verve once......many have short memories, he wasn't the legend. That was Neil Diamond. Could argue that was co-headlining as Leonard got headliner length slot.

Sorry I am late to the party ?

Im curious how aerosmith have become a rumour ? They were supposed to have done there last UK show at download.

If anyone can enlighten me, thanks.

It is a quote from Ozymandias which is both a very famous poem about hubris and a recent role taken on by one Jeremy Irons in the recent ill advised Watchman TV show. Which I thought appropriate for a someone making a new account under the name Jeremy Irons to claim ITK bollocks about Madonna and co-headliners.

His unsubstantiated rumours are his Interdimensional Space Squid.

How very chi-chi of you. 

But I must defend myself, I very much don't claim to be "ITK" but more the third rung middleman for sources that I'll repeat again, are very questionable. I would have ordinarily dismissed them out of hand and wouldn't have gone to the effort to make an account on here and give up on my e-festivals forum-lurker secret-identity as award-winning actor Jeremy Irons,  however the only reason being that I received the information from two unrelated people which I reckoned would at the least merit a discussion around how and/or why they are/could be wrong.

I did ask the question as to how a co-headliner at Glastonbury works in practical terms, allegedly Taylor would be on before Madonna but be billed as co-headlining. Which in my mind wouldn't classify them as co-headliners and I can't imagine Taylor would take that in her stride but hey-ho don't shoot the messenger.

More than likely, its one source feeding both your friends information. Would love to see it be true, just for the insuing social media meltdown

Would love a bit of Wilco...pretty sure they’ve been hanging around at European festivals over Glastonbury weekends for the past decade or so, but never made it to the farm. Fingers crossed for next year!

they suddenly appearred high in the Glasto betting - so presumably a fair bit of money has gone on them, as tho someone knows something.

I'm just not sure you can do "good" very well.

he's given me some further details.  I can't say whether he's making it up or not, but he'd be fairly unusual going into the detail he has if he is making it up. 

My feeling is that he's heard what he says he has; that doesn't mean what he's heard is true, of course. 

I'm inclined to think it isn't true, but you never know.

You should have gone by a pseudonym. Jeremy's Iron for example.

Tantrums and tiaras if it turns out to be legit. ?

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 also have a link who works with Macca who has said the same. My interpretation was that Madonna is doing a short special appearance as a celebration of her music. A super bowlesk melody/mashup. Massive promo for her I guess! She tends not to sing live so the festivals are likely not super keen as a headliner for that reason, maybe? Don’t shoot the messenger.

Remember that time Madonna showed up at Coachella for a few minutes and played a few songs in the dance tent?

this is a crazy rumour

Madonna closing party DJ set? It’d probably be better than an actual set from her.

It's a crazy rumour to be fair, you've gotta Be Prepared for some backlash.

I've only just un-cringed from her Eurovision set, not sure my shoulder muscles could take any more.
