Dave Grohl broken leg

[captainmuscles]

It's not like they'd need a runway or anything anyway, Dave isn't gonna be using it.

Speaking of multiple rigs etc I thought that was common but I am not really sure, I remember reading somewhere U2's tour with the claw was so expensive to stage cos they built 3 of them or something?

[Crystal Waters]

@Shrimpertel: Spoke to a refuse truck driver whose round includes Wembley, he has confirmed the Foo Fighters are still on this fri #foofighterswembley

Just seen this on Twitter.

Guess it could be rubbish though.

Still was the highest grossing tour that year so bands weigh up the costs against bring able to cram more shows in!

 

 

Like someone else said, Foos have a pretty bog standard stage set up so I think they're more likely to hire, unless they find it more financially viable to own a couple ha.

More than likely hiring one from a UK company.

 

And bands who have their own specifically designed stages normally have two in rotation I believe to help pack shows closer together. 

Pretty standard procedure, quite often acts will have 3.  Might seem excessive but these typically take a couple of days to setup and at least one to take down. Without that you'd have huge gaps between shows.  For arenas it's usually the same thing.  

One in situ for a gig taking place, one being broken down at the previous venue and one being built at the next.   Stage 1 goes to city 1 then 4, stage 2 to city 2 then 5 and stage 3 to city 3 then 6 etc etc.

Emily reportedly telling Radio 1 she's 'not sure' about Foo's.....which simply meanscthey haven't been told either way.

But at the same time contradicts the statement that it'd take more than a broken leg to stop them that came from glastonbury over the weekend

[arcade fireman]

If they're taking this long to decide on Wembley, it could be decent news for Glastonbury. Wembley is a whole week before, so if they're close enough for it to be for touch and go for Wembley, the extra week afforded for recovery to perform in some way at Glasto might be enough.

There's still the issue of programmes, glastonbury t-shirts etc. They don't have the luxury of waiting until the week of the festival. The Foo Fighters team is really making a mess of this.

I'm pretty sure t-shirts and programmes will already be printed and sat in boxes somewhere

Agreed

The Foo Fighters team is making a mess of this because of some bullshit merchandise? Like someone said, it's probably already been made, especially the T shirts. And you can't blame them for waiting if it's touch and go, the healing process is hard to predict and it's very possible Dave will be able to do things in three days (or at least do them for a longer time) than he can do now.

Just spoke to my mates' dad who sort of likes Foo Fighters - he confirmed that they'd be going ahead with Wembley and Glastonbury. #FooFightersWembley

Bullshit. Your mates' dad hates Foo Fighters.

[CHRLY]

Tell that to his signed special edition Dave Grohl leg cast.

The programmes were printed a month ago. They went off early May, remember it being one of the speculated dates for the lineup reveal.

You've got me there. Nothing screams out 'I'm a fan of this band' more than owning the lead singer's cast.

Had a chat with my mates dad who's a lawyer, and he said that it's incredibly likely that whatever's happening is completely in the laywer's hands.. and they won't be rushed. They'l calculate everything and work on their own time.

They won't tell anyone anything or decide anything until they've looked at every possible circumstance. They'l keep us in the dark till Thursday night or Friday morning if they have to. They won't be rushed.

 

*Someone will probably try and find a way to slander me for this post but oh well..

Just spoke to a doctor who once treated an old mate of daves and he reckons that nirvana are doing a secret set at the park

They'll get bottled off for not being Prince.

Yes but I came here to actually post that before I noticed what the rest of you were up to

Terrible timing, I must say

Bad news. The Magic 8 Ball has spoken.
