Not confirming or denying any names 😀

Source is a personal friend of the act though no intel is infallible I guess...

Obvious choice as they can only be booked when they exist Cos they've reformed.

Doesn’t make it less duff for the legend slot.

Classic British act with a string of hits and responsible for lots of rock culture.

It's Dre and Dogg then, easy, 1-0, up the town.

I’m taking this as confirmation of Sean Paul rather than anyone else mentioned 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Implies they're more likely to be British.....and maybe more Gen X sort of age or younger.

If you can’t tell us who it is, do you know when they’re going to be announced? If so can you share that with us?

Diana Ross being alongside the 3 pyramid headliners was absolutely massive on the poster. I wonder if it someone who wouldn’t look out of place beside them but is happy to do an hour of hits. Robbie Williams ticks that box I feel but sure he’s IOW festival exclusive?

George Ezra?

IOW "headliner" exclusive maybe?  Could get round that easily with a legend slot.

Dre & Snoop would be fucking amazing, but would have to be Sat night Headliner.

"In a UK festival exclusive, Robbie Williams will make his Isle of Wight Festival debut and bring proceedings on the Main Stage to a close on Sunday night."

Direct from the website. Correct. But we know it doesn't mean much.

Sorry I don't know this.

I’m guessing Duran Duran. Though I’d rather it was Doreen Doreen.

without any cross generational appeal or singalongs and unknown by large swathes of the Glasto crowd.

If we're doing Brum I reckon Ozzy is the more likely cameo.

If we're being pedantic, he's played on the Pyramid before.

Yeah I weren't sure if The Housemartins qualifies in his quest or if it doesn't count because it wasn't as Fatboy Slim.

Robbie - and Duran Duran - have already been repeatedly mentioned on this thread, it's apparently not someone mentioned here so far....

Only those with limited musical knowledge.

Spandau? Although I probably did mention them. I do so every year.

Can you give any sort of hint? Genre? Age? Is it a solo act or band? Shoe size?

Yes, mentioned, I think it probably was you....

Ah really. So festival exclusives to other uk /non glastonbury festivals have ended up playing Glastonbury anyway? 

[kingbadger]

Maybe with all the rumours it's actually Eminem.
