So you’re saying Killers Friday night, Post Malone Sunday?

[Hugh Jass]

The grim spectre of Ellie Goulding subbing Swifty lurches into view.

I was thinking more of Kendrick Friday night and Ellie Goulding Sunday night.

Camilla Cabello more like. Toured with her as support, popped up onstage with her at that award ceremony the other week.

what sort of distances can she pop? Stockholm to Shepton is quite a jump

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fair point. On before Kendrick then.

I would love to see Kacey Musgraves given a good slot on the Friday. Could happen!!

[Matt42]

Maybe Cabello is taking that third down pyramid pop slot?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Cabello touring arenas next year suggests she's a Pyramid act alright.

From that I can see Of Monsters and Men, Jake Bugg, Rival Sons, Idles and Kendrick showing up. I REALLY hope we get Kacey, 5th down on Pyramid before the rock slot?

Really can’t see past that being Dua Lipa.

Here's a mad thought; maybe they'll both be there?

Still reckon we're putting too much on "this kind of act will play this particular slot on this particular day"

Me either to be honest. Is cabello too big to sub the other one night?

i mean, that would be all well and good if Glastonbury hasn’t spent the last decade or so having a big female act play third/fourth down on the Pyramid Saturday. I think that’ll be Dua Lipa, but nothing to say Cabello won’t take the same slot that Miley did this year. In fact, I’d be all for that as it’d be another awesome Sunday run at the Pyramid (assuming the sub is any good).

Point taken, but haven't they also had that on Sunday recently with Miley and Katy Perry?

Being the, let's face it, slightly oddball obsessives that we all are when it comes to Glastonbury and our pathological need to try and predict the whole thing (be honest, the amount of work put into the stage times thread is fucking insane ) I just think we maybe have a tendency to start seeing these "slots" as set in maybe a bit more than they are?

[Matt42]

I mean, it’s not an explicit pattern but there are light patterns.

[jparx]

I think Kenny is basically TBC now.

Really hoping Cabello shows up too.

As much as many don’t like to admit it, Glastonbury has definitely made a conscious effort to put a certain type of act in a certain position yearly, especially on the Pyramid. We’ve now got the Sunday legend, the (usually) Friday hip hop slot, the Saturday female pop star slot and the Friday rock/metal slot (although they admittedly fucked that this year). I love that these are things as it makes us being able to predict those particular slots a bit of fun on here, although I’m sure outside of us obsessive it’s not often noticed or cared about.

I'm no so sure she won't be subbing.

Fair points well made. I just love to cling to the idea that because the musical landscape across the festival is so diverse, anything could pop up anywhere.

I'll get back in my box

Just don’t see it. They’ve had tons of female pop acts who were big enough to do so (Katy Perry in 2017 springs to mind as we were all convinced she was subbing Sheeran) and they never have.

FATM was until getting bumped up. Katy Perry had definitely lost some momentum the time she did Glastonbury and I don't think it did anything for her.

What's the Friday hip hop slot on the Pyramid? Feel like I've missed that completely. 

[Matt42]

I dunno what more is needed for Taylor to be a TBC lol.

I really want to see her TBC on that rumour page. Kendrick too!

Same here, the fun’s now beginning to go out of guessing pyramid headliners, time we all started making wild guesses and speculating about who is headlining  the other stages! ?
