together with a 4am Truth stage outing.

This was great, esp after Bob Vylan (if I remember correctly)

Given this a go. I believe every artist on here is touring around Glastonbury and hasn't been yet ruled out. Some of the lower down acts may be placed somewhat unrealistically and there's a few acts I don't know too well so I've had to punt on them:

Friday:

Py: Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Lil Nas X, Blondie, Tenacious D, Becky Hill, ?
Other: Halsey, Rosalia, Aitch, Dermot Kennedy, The Hives, Ella Henderson, Gang Of Youths, Suede
WH: Loyle Carner, Pinkpantheress, Denzel Curry, RAYE, Ashnikko, Nilufer Yanya, Kalush Orchestra
JP: Hot Chip, Bleachers, Rina Sawayama, The Reytons, Angéle, Baby Queen, Gilla Band, Mae Muller
Park: Manic Street Preachers, Aurora, Black Country New Road, Gwenno, The Mysterines, Alex G, Divorce

Saturday:

Py: Guns ‘n’ Roses, Lewis Capaldi, Lizzo, Sting, Wet Leg, Cat Burns, Candi Staton
Other: Sam Smith, Fred Again.., Ghost, Tom Grennan, Pale Waves, The Mars Volta, Spoon, Black Honey
WH: Mabel, Pusha T, Sudan Archives, Buddy Guy, The Comet Is Coming, Joesef, Los Bitchos
JP: Christine and the Queens, The Lathums, Yard Act, Ezra Furman, Maisie Peters, Dylan, Sinead O’Brien, Far From Saints, Prima Queen
Park: M83, Shame, Ezra Collective, TBA (The Black Keys), Jessie Buckley + Bernard Butler, The Beths, Billy NoMates, Richard Dawson

Sunday:

Py: Elton John, Queens of the Stone Age, Paolo Nutini, Rod Stewart, Jack Johnson, Gregory Porter, MUNA, Local Band
Other: The Prodigy, The War On Drugs, Central Cee, Niall Horan, DMA’s, Holly Humberstone, Lovejoy, CMAT
WH: FKA Twigs, Willow, Arlo Parks, Lapsley, Meute, FLO, Jockstrap, ETC Winner

QOTSA -> AM and Pulp ->Elton just makes sooooo much more sense than vice versa. I don't think the festival cares much about it though.

They actively want crowd churn so often subs and headliners are purposely booked to not have an obvious crossover in audience.

Quotsa into elton is actually very glastonbury

[Memory Man]

Also wet leg are absolutely not going to be third down on pyramid 🤣

they’d be third down on other, maybe. 5th down or lower on pyramid if they play. Their last uk tour headline live set was about 50 mins. They’d struggle to fill an hour.

That makes plenty of sense. Should do Prodigy into Elton then.

This doesn't look unrealistic. Saturday headliners are a bit underwhelming! MUNA on the Pyramid is a fun idea!

Arctics < Pulp < Lil Nas X < Blondie < The Hives < Suede
Mabel < Pusha T < Lizzo < Wet Leg < Candi Staton
FKA twigs < Angel Olsen < Lapsley < Foo Fighters < FLO < MUNA

Saturday: The Mars Volta > Sting > Lizzo > Fred Again > M83

Sunday:  CMAT > DMAs > Rod > Paolo > QOTSA > Elton

I think some placings are a bit off and I was sure Sting wasn't free, but I'd take this

decent

[moogster]

Yup, would love M83 as a saturday headliner. Friday a bit too clashy for me but it's always the case anyway if you add the non-main stages anyway

I'll have to take your word for it.  I was there for both in body, but very much not in mind

Overmono would be fine against Jungle, not really too similar? Not sure where they will play but they will definitely be somewhere. They did the two obvious options (Sonic and IICON) last yr

No Jungle this year

Any further tea on BLACKPINK rocking up?

Friday sub clashes are harshhhhh!

Already bored at work so had a crack at dream setlist 😅

1. So Young
2. Trash
3. Heroine
4. Black Ice
5. Animal Nitrate
6. It Starts and Ends With You
7. For the Strangers
8. She’s In Fashion
9. My Insatiable One
10. Sleeping Pills
11. The Drowners
12. Saturday Night
13. She Still Leads Me On
14. Beautiful Ones
15. New Generation
    --------
16. Barriers
17. Stay Together
18. The Wild Ones

Stay Together an all-timer which they sadly touch so rarely. Can't remember which of them really dislikes it, but either way, a hell of a loss.

For the Strangers criminally underrated as a reunion era cut too.

I’ll take that. Not too bad clash wise for me. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Rina Sawayama would be terrific. Foo Fighters in a boxier setting for one hour likewise would trim the indulgences off.

[wro_lap]

Loving all the responses to that prediction - took me a while to put together and reading who everyone would see gets me very excited for what could be!

1 The Pretender

3 The Sky is a Neighborhood
4 Breakout
5 My Hero
6 These Days
7 Walk
8 All My Life
9 Monkey Wrench
10 Best of You

As someone who's never seen the Foos, this would be life changing. Pop Times Like These in there and that's a GOAT hour-long setlist

I had a dozen songs, then remembered how much Dave Grohl likes to talk, and promptly scotched one. It was indeed Times Like These.

Been reading this forum ever since ticket sale day and thought I'd finally have a crack at doing a full prediction. My music taste isn't the most diverse but I've tried to cover all fields albeit probably not too successfully. Understand a few placements may be off towards the start of the days due to my limited knowledge, but hopefully it throws a few more names into the discussion!

Also put a few random b2b sets which I think would be good across Arcadia and Shangri la etc.
