No idea if this is anywhere near likely but thought I’d have a basic go:
PYRAMID: The 1975 / Charli xcx / Snow Patrol
OTHER: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds / The Libertines
PYRAMID: Olivia Rodrigo / Paramore / TBA (Pulp)
OTHER: Biffy Clyro / Deftones
PYRAMID: Sam Fender / Jack White / Alanis Morissette
OTHER: The Prodigy / YUNGBLUD
This is an aside, but this isn't without controversy.

There's been pushback from Hidden and Loft lately (Teletech at the former and Animal Crossing at the latter), be interesting to see who Amber's gets.
It was interesting/surprising Jamie XX didn't touch it this time despite the Ally Pally shows.
I wonder if the days of the superclub are over. Djs left right and centre publishing their love for playing the Concourse at WHP - 2500 capacity vs 10000 in the Depot.
You have numerous outlets here from credible news websites to tv channels announcing it. They have done the same last year when coldplay was announced. The date leaked several days before the official announcement, hell we knew it would be 4 shows before the official announcement
I would say all these have very good chance of being there. Paul Heaton hasn't done the Victorious round yet.
Faithless being booked on the Castle wouldn't be a shock.
Travis has always seemed like the no brainer.
