Aka the Nick Cave slot 😎

That run would be a hell of a way to finish the festival. An eFests wet dream I'd imagine.

Don't get a guy's hopes up like that. She would be amazing 3rd down on the Sunday, following DiRozzle. They'll want some crowd churn at some point so they'll stick a Foals or another band on before Taylor. 

You say that, but I can’t imagine Aerosmith - Noel - Macca generating too much churn.

We don't know Aerosmith are third down do we? Considering it's unusual enough they're not headlining already they could really be anywhere that day.

We don’t know for sure but that seems the most likely at the moment.

Thinking about it, could they be opening the stage and a reason for the extended of the field? Most of us here think that we're gonna get some kind of bigger than usual band opening the day.

I know we already thought they were playing but any chance they could do this as the Acoustic headliner? 

Paul Heaton reads lyrics when he's singing. 

 

I mean, I know most of the words to his songs and I'm not him. Very odd.

Aerosmith are bigger than most acts that have headlined Glastonbury, or at least sold far more albums. I can't see them playing to a half-empty field at 11am tbh

Not sure where to put this, but re: the Greg James thing, they've been tying Lizzo in with it. Could it be leading to some announcement that she's doing the Big Weekend?

I still don't fully rule out Lizzo subbing the Pyramid. Her dates seem really sporadic this summer and they wouldn't rule out her coming across the pond for a big show at Glastonbury. 

I think blossoms are more likely for big weekend because they have a 4 day gap from 22nd may to 26th may.

And the killers will also play because they are doing Doncaster two days after big weekend finishes.

Those alone would be a hell of a line-up. Doubt Wu-Tang would be back soon though and I think Oh Sees are destined never to play though, they always seem to be about and never do it.

Pavement are only doing two shows this year; Primavera has them as a worldwide exclusive. I can't see Fat White Family, Wu-Tang, Hot Chip or Idles returning so soon; maybe a DJ set from some of them but that's all. Weezer are touring with Green Day so they'd end up playing four (?) days in a row if they were at Glastonbury too.

Yeah I've noticed that over the years..I'm not sure if Oh Sees play a lot of big festivals..they've been to Coachella plenty, but that's on their doorstep.

Yeah, bit of a boob on my part about Pavement...I think I had heard that somewhere. I'd be at Prima again myself if it wasn't for work 😐

They've done, off the top of my head, End Of The Road, Bearded Theory and Green Man festivals so they're not totally averse to them, they just never play Glastonbury. Same with Ty Segall and a few others of their ilk. Shame as they'd all kill it.

They are more small to medium festivals in my eyes..but yeah they would be a massive addition to Glasto for me.

IDLES have a new album out and are still riding the wave. Can definitely see them back, possibly even headline the JPT. Huge space for them to fill but they play to sold out crowds literally everywhere now, so not out of the question.

Looks like Hamilton Leithauser is playing Glasgow at the start of June, hopefully he sticks around in Europe for the rest of the month and pops up on The Park again.

Bizarrely this is on sale in a few hours yet still hasn't been announced, along with presumably the rest of the European tour.
