1st headliner announced next week after the pre erected camping/camper van sale? Surely they don’t leave us waiting until the new year! 

Depends, Dua and Madge will probably have their own shows to sell first, which only leaves Coldplay who they could easily leave for the poster.

We've also been told next year

Yeah but we've also been told it's not Dua/Coldplay/Madge!

The info we’ve had from a reliable source is that Dua and Coldplay are a lock. Seperate info says Madge is due to headline BST, making her very possible for G24.

Sure, I was just referring to Emily's statement denying the rumours of this trio.

While that's accurate, I think it was more to do with Emily trying to cover her arse regarding an announcement schedule rather than simply a case of her going 'Ha ha yer wrong'

My suspicion is that talks were at a delicate stage and she didn't want anything out in public to banjax it.

Yes, my point was why do we believe 'nothing before Christmas' is accurate when we don't believe 'it's not Madge/Dua/Coldplay'

Yes, I think they've agreed to announce her appearance at Glasto after BST.

That was my feel too. Didn't want anyone doing a Prince at a vital moment.

[CaledonianGonzo]

People will still moan when that's the trio that gets announced.

[Padjeq]

I was told* Madonna's on a festival run ahead of a las vegas LED testicle residency

*by god, in a dream

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

If Madge is in for BST, wheel out Smooth Jimmy. If not, then GFL are scrambling for that final spot

[CaledonianGonzo]

I've just looked up Something For Everyone in my big encyclopedia and it has a picture of Madge, Dua and Coldplay.

Yeah I get where you’re coming from. I’ve no idea but I suspect she was denying they were all confirmed because at that point Madge wasn’t. Just my $0.02. 

[Franky]

I mean come on, not Coldplay again 🤷‍♂️

I’ve pre-written several tweets about how disappointed I am. Ready to go out at a moments notice. Did it a few years ago and they’re good for any announcement. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's a rock festival- why aren't the Foo Fighters playing?

agree, when you look at the wording of here statement . "The story about our confirmed headliners is untrue" She hasn't said anyone isn't playing, she is saying the story about all 3 being confirmed is not true.  And I expect that is correct.  I doubt all 3 were 100% confirmed at that point.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If they've got Madge it's yet another coup for them. What a time to be alive.

[Guest]

Yeah in terms of legacy bookings they've done really well with the run of Paul McCartney, Elton John and Madonna. Think it'll come to an end in 2025, which isn't a bad thing imo.

[Hugh Jass II]

If they tick off Madge then who's left? If we assume that Fleetwood Mac are done once and for all like they've said then Madge is the final white whale.

[CaledonianGonzo]

AC/DC are still on the game  board - - just about
