Just now, festivalsaregood said:
Bring Me The Horizon will be at All Points East. I don't know if they will be exclusive to the festival but they will be headlining.
We'd been hearing that but I had hoped it was crossed wires. Oh well.
Heard about anyone else for All Points East?

The festival never really had a female headliner until a few years ago but luckily they bucked that trend.
What? Yes it did.

Happens at all fests that.

I'm struggling to find any real reasoning here as to why they couldn't or shouldn't play other than the fact you really don't want them to? I understand preference and that's something everyone is totally entitled to. I'm not remotely bothered about seeing them but to walk around saying they've got no right to be there or shouldn't be there makes no sense.
The festival hasn’t booked any of those acts before so it clearly goes beyond my preference.

No but the argument that Macca is still relevant with regards to his headliner status is pretty weak. Out of his 30+ song set list how many do we think will have been released in the last decade?
I don’t particularly like the Spice Girls, but they were a cultural behemoth in their time and these shows next year will be the biggest story of next year. I’d be shocked if the Eavii hadn’t considered them at the very least.
I think nostalgia is to do with whether the people in attendance still listen to their music. If nobody had listened to The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Wings or The Cure in forever then they’d rightly be considered a nostalgia act. But loads of people do; people who go to the fest.

Because when you go that big on the naffness, it sorta flips the whole thing on its head. If it was someone like East 17 playing a smaller stage then it seems about right - when it’s someone like Take That or Spice Girls taking break from headlining stadia to headline the chuffing Pyramid, that kinda becomes what the festival is about. Don’t get why peeps can’t just accept the festival as it is and keep seeing the Spice Girls with your old friends from school separate from it.

You could easily argue that both Macca and The Cure are nostalgia acts these days.
This is starting to veer into Neil Lonsdale territory.
It’s not rockist to deny that a Westlife, Take That and the Spice Girls don’t really have a place at Glastonbury. It’s possible to appreciate pop music and also not want the Pyramid to just become the mega-Rewind stage.
Anyway, I doubt people who wanna go see Macca are just people who were into the Beatles in the 60’s looking for a nostalgia hit. That’s ridiculous.

Yeah Busted had a stupidly huge crowd didn't they? However much of a novelty they are, putting a band that even now is still playing arenas into the Avalon is a bad bad plan.
Why? No one got hurt did they?

Based on previous tours, I've never heard of a band being in the middle of a European tour, and more so actually in central Europe, nipping back to Scotland for a show.
They seem to be zig-zagging across Europe with these dates. I don’t think the routing makes it unlikely at all.

Could still do Sunday I’m sure. Won’t be the same stage setup after all.

There’s a rumour about that AC/DC are going back on tour in Europe next summer. Sadly the basis of this rumour is a reported show in Cologne in Glastonbury Saturday, which would rule them out really. Hopefully, if true, it is a two-summer tour again like the last one.
Dunno how but this actually transpired to be a Muse show. At least good news that Muse probably won’t turn up at Glastonbury next year.

I believe AC/DC are one of those bands never expected to play Glastonbury cos they demand a fair (hefty!) price?
Probably. Brian has seemed open to playing in past interviews though. We need Lars to get on his case.

@Mr.Tease Apologies I thought you meant like some sort of recent professional evaluation that someone who’d met him had carried out. I get what you mean but at the same time it’s just an assumption.
And honestly it seems kinda patronising and dangerous to refuse to call him out based on his struggles with mental health. Like, those closest to him seem to say this is just ‘who he is’; it seems to have always been in his character to be outspoken and he’s grown pretty used to dealing with it. I mean, the hydrogen powered iPlane thing you can say “thank you Kanye, very cool” to and dismiss but when he’s using his platform to echo sentiments by the right wing of the USA then it’s not something to really be ignored or allowed.

He's bipolar and probably designed the plane during a manic episode. If you saw someone walking funny and laughed, then found out they walked funny because they had spina bifida, would you still laugh and mock them because they walked funny? I thought his erratic behaviour was initially funny, because I thought he was just being a d*** or egomaniac or something, but once you find out why he's behaving like he is, I don't think it's really funny anymore. I wouldn't want someone laughing and mocking me if I was struggling with my mental health or on the cusp of a psychotic episode.
What exactly did you find out?

The basketball? How come? Surely the Copper Box and stadium can still be used at the same time. Also, why would it be prioritised?
Baseball, even.

A strange booking if true, especially as there's no realistic hope of them troubling the top order of the Pyramid. AIC playing the Pyramid at 4pm in brilliant sunshine is a bizarre prospect.
Surely higher up the Other or even headlining the JP would be a better option?
That’s pretty much what people said to dismiss it. If they’re an arena headliner it doesn’t seem that weird to have them on there.
I’m not saying that them touring makes it any more credible, just that your post reminded me.

Both AIC and BRMC are around...
I remember some random absolutely ages ago on here saying Alice in Chains had been booked to play the Pyramid in 2019.

Be interesting to see where they're playing, whether it's arenas or stadia.
I'd guess London Stadium, Anfield, maybe Villa Park/Coventry and the Stadium of Light in Sunderland.
The rumours kicking about the web for a while have been stadiums.
I read somewhere (dunno if it’s true) that there’s only one artist playing the London Stadium in summer because of the basketball. Possibly interesting if both Muse and Spice Muse avoid it.

Sorry guys, Muse are announcing at 2pm GMT and I forgot that it wasn’t GMT+1 anymore.

Allegedly there's a Spice Girls reunion announcement at 3pm today, including UK tour dates...
Edit: no Victoria Beckham though, so I'm not sure how they'll sound without that fifth harmony
Going head to head with the Muse stadium tour announcement, I see.
