So the front runners for now are?

Friday: The 1975

Saturday: Olivia Rodrigo

 

Sunday: Probably either Stevie Wonder or Rihanna? With Sam Fender/Fred Again/Eminem as the other options

Sam and Eminem more likely than Stevie and Rihanna

Why was no one just saying what these rumours are on here? Being sheepish about it all?

 

I'm not sure which rumours you're referring to?

 

Only new one I've seen is the 1975. That info only arrived this morning

[thatTFBguy]

Just to add a different perspective to the snark, The 1975 would smash a headline slot! 

[Justcalledtosay]

This years headliner line up is looking really poor.

 

The 1975

Olivia Rodrigo

Eminem/Sam Fender

 

Rod Stewart

It doesn't really matter if they smash it or they're totally abysmal, at least we'll get to find out if they are big enough to headline! 🙂

I agree! They blew me away at Reading 2019, against all my expectations

Basically 'The Post' is actually still right haha. They got the days the wrong way but it's apparently a Fred replacement. So provided Olivia is in then that Sunday is a case whichever one says yes lol.

1975 as a replacement for someone other people wanted more? We in the Reading thread by accident?

Completely agree, my favourite live band currently. Last tour was a sell out globally. They’re ready and they’ll absolutely hit it out the park, if true.

@roughbloke is David Ornstein

So @roughbloke will also confirm who Amorim is signing for Manchester United in the January window?

Wouldn't hang your hat on Rod Stewart just yet.

 

Who would be your ideal Legend, out of interest? I've never watched one in 13 years..

This would be really poor. Really, really hope this completely wrong.

Cher or Annie Lennox for me.

 

 

I've seen Diana Ross, who vocally wasn't great but knocked out the bangers with the help of her backing singers and Cat Stevens, who i thought was brilliant.

Crikey! 😂

 

Not impressed at all if that's who we get. Fender is good but going seeing him in Manchester in a few weeks anyway so not overly bothered about seeing him twice. 

 

No interest in any of the others. Rod Stewart isn't even half decent karaoke standard anymore either. It would be an absolute car crash.

I'd genuinely rather watch B*Witched, who were mentioned a couple of pages ago possibly playing, than the 1975 😁

C’est la vie 

[wro_lap]

The 1975 are absolutely big enough and would pull a massive crowd. But also Healy’s track record of racism and misogyny stinks to me.

 

plus I hate their music, but that’s subjective

Would they pull a 'massive' crowd? I genuinely thought you wouldn't be looking at anything huge. An Arctic Monkeys/Kendrick Lamar sized crowd maybe?

99% of the posts are cliquey gibberish by the same 100 or so users but there great genuine sources are on there (who used to be on here)

 

Indeed they are, and yes they are. There is about 4 on there, maybe 5 I'd almost take as gospel.

I think we have now truly entered the stage of good enough rather than big enough.

I saw them back in August in Leicester with the misses, good fun for a crack at some cheese.

3 acts 45 minutes each minimum for £25.

[Claire0406]

So we now aren't seeing Fred again???

Excellent news. If we can manifest it NOT being Rod that would be great. Find him so cringey. 
 

was just getting excited about the prospect of Annie Lennox. Fingers crossed

You're underestimating The 1975 here I think.

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Didn’t Matty say earlier this year they were having an “indefinite hiatus”? Not so indefinite then….
 

I’ve never seen them live but do like quite a few of their songs so I’d be pretty likely to catch them I think
