This would be fantastic! Tour dates fit too.

I heard the Happy Mondays were doing that slot. I’d be very happy with either, great fun singalong to get the party started.

Big thumbs up from me hope that is right!

God that'd be an incredible Friday opener. Please be true.

You could well be correct  👀

Got a Libertines super fan in our group who’s doing Glastonbury for the first time this year so she’ll be ecstatic if this proves to be true. Not a bad way to kick off the festival at all.

We gonna get Harry Styles to fill in for Doja Cat as a secret now?

So is Doja Cat's tonsil

[FloorFiller]

Pretty big spot they’re gonna have to fill if she drops out assuming she was a Pyramid sub. Wonder who they could have in the rolodex to call in last minute. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or they re-jig the lower part of the bill or one of the other big names on the other stages.

[kevbizarre]

Charli XCX be a pyramid sub?

She’s gotten pretty big lately, but I don’t think she’s quite there yet, even as a late fill in.

Maybe Wolf Alice will end up getting that sub slot after all…

[tarw]

The inevitable appearance of   Chris Martin just got bumped?  Actually a stripped back, low production Coldplay set might be quite refreshing 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They still need a space on the line up for Paolo Nutini and / or Hazza Styles.

Big time. And post tonsil removal ( which im assuming happens ) the recovery time is 4-6 weeks. That takes her out of all her europe stuff. Im assuming that gets done, they play it safe and she is ready to go for her tour with The Weeknd. She has a festival in the u.s. this weekend so Im sure theyll announce something tomorrow.

And yeah, who do they get if they actively seek out a replacement. not like they got 4 million bucks to get The Weeknd lol. Silver lining is they have a month and not under 2 weeks.

I suspect bands will be queueing up to take that slot for the TV time don't think they will have any issue at all filling it as I suspect they've got quite a few lined up to fill any gaps even at short notice with the covid situation, any British band who fancied being last minute heroes would be on that list.. aka Chris Martin. But I second @fightoffyour let's get The National in!

If Wolf Alice took it for example then theyre slot on Other has to get filled which might make it easier. But if theyre going to attempt to get somebody with similar star power then it can be a  challenge. you cant just give it to anyone out there. But again, they have time. I would also think that if the schedule and full lineup is still out on tuesday that they will leave the slot as TBA and itll be pretty glaring til they say something. And at least that slot will be officially announced unlike the other tba's. 

Maybe Florence will take it since she turned down Park? Her on Pyramid again would be good. Thats a female act for a female act, her album is gonna be #1 this week anyway. 

And Doja did confirm on twitter she is likely to get her tonsils removed soon.

They could always leave it as an unannounced set like in ‘15, only for it to be The Libertines again. They’re already there, after all…

[CaledonianGonzo]

They need someone who's guaranteed to smash the prestigious El Pointo sub slot and entertain the huge crowds.

So that's The National off the list.

Sadly for The Libertines's prestige it's definitely not 2015 any more.

If you insist Arcade Fire can be that band!!
