Well Emily Eavis hasn’t come out and said they’re not headlining no. But bands that are headlining festivals like Neighbourhood Weekender generally aren’t big enough to headline Glasto. 
 

They’d make a good sub. 

They’ve spread themself across tons of smaller paydays, if they wanted to they could have done a few stadium shows instead, sold them out and then be considered a headliner. Certainly a bigger tour than say Green Day did just done in a different way.

Won’t headline as a result but if they had done a different type of tour they would be far more likely to.

re paolo, was more saying we don’t need to bump up a white male solo artist when we’ve already got heaps of them about and pyramid is looking like GNR AM and Elton. If we add in the Prodigy and Sam Smith (think they are still likely right, would kill it i think!) then its hardly the most diverse 6 main headliners.

edit: also just think paolo is shite

Silly comparison and you know it 😂 Lizzo is headlining big events all over Europe

[DeanoL]

Pulp headlining one night would explain how they were finally able to afford Elton.

Lizzo could sub pyramid and no one would question it. Also it would be a set for the ages

She's sold more tickets in the regional areas than Kendrick did. No way he headlines the Pyramid.

She’s literally headlining festivals in Europe and the US around Glasto. I dunno what planet you’re on if she’s going to play a low slot at glasto.

People are just outright ignoring the AM, GNR, Elton trio at this point lol

Because two of them aren't confirmed?

It's harmless discussion

I must have missed the AM/GNR confirmation.

By booking Elton it's already stronger than 2015.

As long as we can avoid the great Sunday night desert of 2014 we’ll be fine.

Can’t speak for Megan as I didn’t see, but I was at CATQ and it was too big a slot for her. 

She had a tiny crowd. 

Shame because it was a great set, but I was there too and managed to have a sit on a bench at the back near the food vans, with a clear view - not many at at all further back than the sound desk. Smallest headline crowd I’ve been in by far.

Chris smashed it out of the park though.

CATQ headlining Other was always too big a slot. Did that not happen due to a drop out anyway and it was meant to be a Other subbing spot?

We enjoyed it but I have to say we preferred her 2016 appearance.

His.

Yes. That was a classic.

Cause that clearly explains the ticket price increase.

Save money on Pulp to pay Elton more. Not difficult to understand

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or Elton did it for cost cos he's not a chump and knows how big a deal it is.

Oh sorry, forgot you're meant to post "no chance" under every headliner trio you don't think is right. Still getting the hang of this thread.

Haha, I love Elton, really looking forward to him, but he totally is a chump and no way he did this cheap. And even at half his usual fee its more than Glasto likes to pay.

Dunno. Ordinarily I’d agree, but he’s about to retire from touring and it’s a huge unticked box which will boost sales/streams. I can see him being advised by his agent and management that this is a good move.
