Does anyone know of a way to catch up with this after its broadcast (but not using iPlayer)?

I've just realised it'll be 5am my time.

BBC Sounds App.

I actually use that quite a lot and some of the shows appear for streaming pretty soon after the live show ends.

I can't be the only one who prefers seeing headliners on stages other than the Pyramid.

This is one of those days when you wish you had more upvotes

[mufcok]

Sat here waiting for someone to pull through with reliable info that McCartney is still headlining...

On Monday 27 June you'll be back on here saying that you had the time of your life and actually, the headliners didn't make the slightest bit of difference. Guaranteed. Everybody does.

Took me until my 3rd Glastonbury to see a Pyramid headliner. Well it was Radiohead so I didn't really see them, given the fact arsing about with the screens...

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Harry Styles would be a better headliner than Paul McCartney by the way.

When it's someone I absolutely love - The Cure, Radiohead - it can't be beat. But the idea of not seeing someone headline on The Park or West Holts is a nightmare, always the best crowds.

It's nice to have one you want to see though. There really is something special about seeing an act you love on the Pyramid, the years I've been when I've not been interested in any of the headliners have felt a bit like something is missing.

Yes, you'll be having a great time at another stage, it will be special but it won't be losing your shit at the Pyramid special.

Truly one of life's great pleasures, watching the forum fall to absolute pieces over the tiniest fragments of clues and rumours, while convincing itself that conjecture is fact. Deadline Day's got nothing on this.

Facts don't get you anywhere...

Emily's courting of Guns N Roses in the press makes a lot more sense now.

When was the last time Glasto booked three current headliners (no heritage act). Kings of Leon, Jay-Z, The Verve? How long had the Verve been going when they headlined?

1997? Radiohead, The Prodigy, Ash? Weren’t they all relatively new at the time?

Aye agreed. Radiohead was class. 

I just hate inevitably having to sit through whatever shite is subbing just to get a good spot in the crowd.

No he wouldnt

Ah, that's only because you can't be arsed to pack up your blanket and picnic basket full of Pimms

Where's J. McColeney?

Probably 3rd down Pyramid, that’s where I’m expecting him.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

I mean, it's possible isn't it? France on the Saturday, Dublin on the Tuesday. Not doing anything on the Friday night so it wouldn't be 3 days in a row. Emily mentioned them in the Classic Rock Magazine Metallica special....

Prodigy had been around since 90, Jilted came out in 94, they headlined on the release of their third album, Fat of the Land. I'd say they were well-established by that point

We sat through The XX happily enough and still couldn't get a good spot!

Treat it as though it wont be an announcement and that its just a chat about preparations then if we get anything its a bonus!

It was a reunion tour after a 10 year hiatus. Borderline heritage if you ask me.
