Tbf mate I don't think headliners make deep booking decisions

You mean like if Taylor headlined and they werent going to do the all female Pyramid line up for her? Sounds like the festival was gonna cater to the artists wishes. Would be amazing if they were before him. That would be an interesting crowd to win over for them.

Lizzo and Paramore subbing would be a good look if we do end up getting all male headliners and legend. Feel both of those are really suited to sub, hardest slot to nail but they've got the tunes and show for it.

Lizzo Paramore and Pulp would be a pretty impressive set of subs

Was this a thing or are you just talking nonsense?

Hardest slot to pull off but they've all got the chops for it. Can still see Lizzo being 3rd down mind. Could also see QOTSA subbing Arctics as opposed to headlining Other, Homme and Turner are best buds so they're definitely an act I can see them agreeing to play under.

Also wouldn't surprise me if Pulp was a surprise afternoon set on the period like Aerosmith was lined up to be.

It was a thing. Probably buried somewhere in the depths of a locked thread though.

I know it will have been discussed on here already but I’ve been avoiding until after I bagged a ticket…. what do we reckon to Elton cancelling his gig on the weekend of Glasto? Think he cancelled the Sunday without giving a reason and is now free Tuesday before -> Tuesday after? Got to happen one day surely!

thats the thinking behind him doing glasto, not as solid as AM rumour but definitely up there

Paramore clashing with Elton would be a nightmare

Elton is one of my dream headliners so I’d pick him over most things

any substance to the lizzo discussion? Watched her 19 set on tv with massive envy

I think at this point, the only reason Elton wouldn't headline is that there is some disagreement or animosity betwixt him and the Eavii that none of us know about. He's been asked about it so many times. they've been asked about it. It's not like either of them are not aware of how momentous it would be. 

[Andy0808 v5]

Elton would be huge, regardless of how bad he may sound now.

Any likelihood that Phoenix could play? Would love to see them but just playing one London show this year so not looking good. 

[Olshansky]

There is a part of me that thinks Lizzo is big enough to headline.  Another part of me thinks she's only at sub level.  what do y'all think?

There's been rumour that that animosity does indeed exist - posted on here a few months back.

Don't see why not. They've played before. Probably Park headliner size by now?

No chance is she headlining

She could easily play 3rd down, 4th at a real stretch. Headliner right now is out of the question though, new album wasn't the absolute smash hit people expected. 

Lizzo subbing Elton is the dream.

[purplebenny1]

Paramore to play must be fairly sure at this point?

Headlining second stage?

A GSH if I ever saw one. Playing the same day as GnR perhaps?
