I’d certainly rather they weren’t but wouldn’t surprise me. 

Yeah I'm the same. I feel like there's a bit of a gap in terms of the more alternative acts in this first announcement, bar a couple.

Obvs loads more to come, and the Pulp day is the least fleshed out so far, but unless there's loads of cross-over with Y Not, will likely go for the weekend.    Good to see a few curve balls... Spiritualised, Hot Chip, John Grant...    What I really want to know is who the Friday special guest will be. Probably very unlikely, but I'm hoping for Richard Hawley or Self Esteem, to keep it in the Sheffield family. 

Can't imagine they'd be booked again unless they're due to release some new stuff next year?

Yeah headlining Parklife is around about the equivalent of Pyramid sub or Other headline, which is where I expect Charli XCX to be at. I don't think anyone's headlined Parklife and Glastonbury in the same year. Some acts have headlined and played lower slots - Aitch in recent years, but then he's from Manchester so likely to be bigger there.
