Noel would have a monster crowd headlining the Other. That could be quite the show.

There would be a very pronounced demographic split between Styles on the Pyramid and Gallagher on the Other.

[kingcrawler]

Between Emily's updates yesterday, the Little Simz announcement, Courtney Barnett self-confirming and now this Noel and Haim news, it definitely feels like things are picking up a bit this week which is good to see.

Still think there's a good possibility that if Macca is indeed out for Harry then he swaps with Dua Lipa and she subs while he headlines Other.

I am afraid Dua is not going to sub...

Seems legit. 

Noel under Styles would be hilarious. I can just imagine him signing up thinking he was under Macca, and then it's all shifted and now he's curtain jerking for Styles 😂

Surely he would refuse to sub Harry Styles. He knows Liam would use that as ammo against him the rest of their lives.

If this article is true it's more proof McCartney is playing

Why not? Is it all that different to headlining the Other?

He'd make a pretty good opener for Kings of Leon imo.

I think Noel would find them worthy to play after him

Who else do we know is available on the Saturday night that Noel would find acceptable to play prior to?

My feeling is that she got so big from 2019 that now it's clearly headliner material at this stage. I have a feeling she won't be there and will be headlining next time.

If she does headline it'll give all those people who didn't buy tickets to her arena shows a chance to see her.

Both middle of the road crap for people who get all their albums from Urban Outfitters

They went from Katy Perry to The National in 2017 - wasn't much overlap there, 😀

So being realistic and excluding acts who have headlined recently and have ruled themselves out (ie. Coldplay), we have the Eagles, Elton John, Gorillaz, Kings of Leon and Metallica all of whom have dates on the Friday and Saturday. This leaves only the Strokes, Florence and the Machine and McCartney as realistic options.

I wouldn't be surprised if Noel has made some shitty remark about Florence and the Machine though

Supre getting suspended from the board would do him a genuine favour, as well as all the rest of us. I don’t think his presence here is at all healthy for a man with intense anger issues and a strong undercurrent of racism that barely stays below the surface.

I’m at a loss at why anyone who spits blood when America or Coachella is disrespected thinks it’s a good idea to board on a primarily English forum with lots of lighthearted patter.

Any positives are dwarfed by the negatives. Its like having a screaming child at an otherwise pleasant and chatty dinner party. Intensely jarring.

Suprefan whenever he reads anything about Coachella...

[the wonderwhy]

If it ended up being: 

Billie Eilish + Royal Blood / Coldplay + Noel Gallagher / Florence and The Machine + The War On Drugs

Sam Fender / Dua Lipa / Pet Shop Boys 

I'm not sure you could have many complains about that. Decent G lineup and two women up top to boot. Should've just booked that in the first place!

The other way of looking at this is that we are giving way too much credence to what Noel Gallagher thinks.

Chances are he's been given his fee and agreed his slot and who goes on afterwards has fuck all to do with him.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah Noel just says shite like that to get in the papers, he's not gonna let it dab down his big Glastonbury slot. 

Well, unless they tried to put Liam on after him obviously.

All these slating Harry need to sit and listen to Fine Line.

It has some absolutely brilliant songs on there across genres. There is one track that actually made me think Bon Iver had a new single out (Cherry). Golden, Treat People With Kindness and Adore You are brilliantly written. This is before you start with one of best pop songs of last ten years (Watermelon Sugar). Canyon Moon is full of Paul Simon vibes.

These are also JUST from album 2. Don't write him off just yet, just because he is popular with teenage girls.

Just been and listened to him off the back of this post. That Bon Iver comparison really stands up. Thanks for the pointer.

Nah he's a big prima donna. If it transpires he is subbing Harry Styles he should be congratulated for finally being mature, even though he is 55

[Gilgamesh69]

If anything, I think Noel Gallagher subbing further supports the notion of Macca headlining.

I dunno, I could actually imagine him being that petty. There have been endless opportunities for him to play Glastonbury with the HFBs over the last decade and he's never popped up - doesn't strike me as though he's absolutely desperate to play, and if he's put on before someone he'd obviously have no time for I could actually see him sacking it off.

I think we’re slightly at the bargaining stage of grief if Florence & The Machine are being held up as a good headline option, especially to close out Sunday.

A great returning sub, don’t get me wrong. But Flo hasn’t had a hit in about 10 years and there’s untested demand for her return (some high European placements don’t say much yet).

Even for the first post-pandemic fest, with all this scrambled touring, that’s strikingly weak.

So you are saying realistically the Saturday headliner is either going to be Paul McCartney or the Strokes. I can did that

Now if someone else can come up with a reason why it won't be the Strokes we will be all set

I know the strokes cost £500k (my friend is an organiser of a smaller festival but couldn’t book them due to the large fee). If that’s too much for Glastonbury then that will be why the strokes won’t play as they won’t budge from that fee from what I’ve been told
