Have we ruled out Rhianna with a post-Super Bowl announcement?

Apparently she was in early talks to do Coachella but decided against it so probably unlikely.

Also, the headliners are Arctic Monkeys, Guns N Roses and Elton, so there’s that.

Rihanna over AM is the perfect curveball but it ain't happening

You mean GNR

AM / Rihanna / Elton would be a great mix

The 1975 and Florence both seem like good candidates to be the ‘big’ secret act of this year, although I was saying exactly the same thing last year and we got Ezra so who knows. Flo’s dates are awfully convenient though.

I've had it from very very good authority that the 1975 will not be anywhere near glastonbury this year. They want to headline next year. No secret set for them!

Yeah, but I think a member of GNR saying they're playing Glasto and then suddenly not is less of a curveball and more, somebody throwing the bat

Interesting. Wonder if that means they’re in talks then or if it’s just blind hope on their end.

I think its more 'they' want to headline not they've been asked to headline

Friendly reminder that the only confirmed headliner is Elton.

Come on now. The bassist of the band outright saying "Glastonbury is going to be iconic for us" isn't enough?

The legends spot is pretty iconic…

I'd argue that the teatime legends slot is more camp than iconic

It’s not official until Glasto announce it. 

I concede it looks likely, but I’m still clinging on to hope that the festival haven’t stooped that low for a headliner position.

Glastonbury lowering themselves to booking one of the biggest rock bands ever.

The festival that was once headlined by Kula Shaker could never.

We need Travis back.

Are Shakespeare's Sister busy?

Coachella threw the kitchen sink to get her and failed apparently. I think she’s incredibly selective about what she does now and can’t be bought because she’s already a billionaire.

Hey man a member of the band taking about playing glastonbury literally means nothing.

At this stage you have to assume that the festival have gone fishing for Rihanna and come back with an empty net.

Announcing my new Pyramid Stage Headliner Classification system:  Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

On this scale Elton is a Platinum booking, and Guns and Roses and Arctic Monkeys are both Silver.

Happy to elaborate further, but these rankings aren't likely to shift.

So from last year would you say Macca was Platinum and Kenny and Billie were Gold?

1992 wants their line-up back. "But they used to be massive!" isn't a persuasive argument.

Surprising post from somebody who rails against words being put in his mouth. I literally said "I concede it looks likely". Are you disagreeing with me that it's not official until the festival announce it?

Yip. Spot on.

Taylor would have been Platinum.
