Oh no 😟 how awful. I had no idea it was so serious and had fully assumed she’d make a recovery, or at least that this wouldn’t happen so soon. Feel very lucky to have seen them at Primavera this year. RIP.

Because it sold out instantly this year and it’ll be peoples last chance to ever see him so they may well have just booked him again for one last instant sell out. People with usually good info have said he’s doing it, so guess we shall see.

Yeah I didn’t get a ticket today and it seemed like See had a lot more errors on their end that fucked people over who actually managed to get through tinge payment page, but a random ballot would be a bullshit alternative and when See works properly it really is the best way to do it - it just, for whatever reason, didn’t work properly this morning.

Hello darkness my old friend… 😔 Been lucky in the resale more than the main sale so here’s hoping that luck continues for next year.

Fuck sake got through to the payment page several times at the end there but then took me to the sold out page 😞

Let's do this guys. Just remember, don't start F5ing until about 2 minutes past 9 so that I can get my ticket sorted first. Thanks.

He’s had solid info in the past which is why we’re prone to believing him this time - he’s not just some rando who’s popped up with info that we’re all latching on to. Changed my mind already from my earlier prediction and am going with: Arctic Monkeys Rihanna Guns N Roses Gonna go ahead and assume Elton moved that Paris date to accommodate his to-be-announced BST date and he’s avoiding the fest until the end.

People don’t give a shit about Bad Bunny in the U.K. and he won’t be headlining any major festivals here, much like nobody gives a shit about Biffy Clyro in America and they won’t be headlining any major festivals there and yet have headlined Reading/Leeds here. Really don’t know why this is so hard for you to understand. His global streaming numbers may be huge but the U.K. isn’t contributing to them so why would our biggest festival want him to headline? If he actually shows some interest in playing, which I’m sure he won’t, he can do so further down the lineup.

Now that they’ve got a new album out? Less so. The sets they were playing this year were about as much of a greatest hits set as you’re gonna get from them these days. My guess would be Glastonbury will look similar except some of the deep cuts replaced with songs from The Car. They’ve even started playing the new arrangement of 505 at their shows now which will piss people off I’m sure.

Who knows what happens if Rihanna doesn’t pan out. Eminem was mentioned so there’s every chance they’ve been in talks with him also as another alternative. All I know is that Dua hasn’t been mentioned at all in any of the rumours/leaks/whatever so maybe she’s just not somebody they’re looking at for next year (imo, because she wants to do it properly with a new album, whether that be in ‘24 or later).

Would probably agree with you if we didn’t have info of Rihanna being in talks yesterday. That info may be bollocks, but it’s more info than we currently have on Dua, even if she does seem like the obvious and easy to get Taylor step-in.

I’m sure this may have been covered already but is there not a chance that Elton moved the Paris date so that he had an off-day after his supposed BST show on the Friday?

Interesting. I floated the idea that GnR were possibly a Elton replacement rather than Taylor, which makes far more sense, but it could be that Elton was never really in the frame and it was always GnR. If so, I’d chalk the Rihanna talk up to Taylor being out and her being the replacement, which again makes far more sense. Don’t see Dua doing it next year - surely she’d want her time at the top of the Pyramid to be framed around a huge new album, not a three year old album (assuming she doesn’t have a new one out next year, mind. Always possible).

Thought the info was Guns N Roses instead of Taylor? Or has he said something different since? If that’s the latest info then it makes sense that the third would be Rihanna surely.

That lineup is stacked - very much might be making this my first Download. I mean, I know in traditional Download fashion they’ll undoubtedly stick all the good stuff against each other at headliner time, but I think there’d still be enough to justify going.

That gap’s got me very hopeful for a Pyramid sub slot from them.

Ha I thought I made that obvious with the name but clearly not. Guess it’s hard to tell with all the people coming in here and acting like dickheads. Yep, made a silly comment that Neil took a dislike to and so he put my main account on ‘approval mode’ where he has to approve each and every one of my posts, which he isn’t doing, so had to make a new one to post in real time. Good times

Unless it turns out they were actually drafted in instead of Elton…

Arctics Rihanna Elton Final prediction… …until in a couple of days time when we get new info contradicting all of that.

I’m posting here all the time because I’m a regular member of this forum and (most of the time) enjoy posting here. That other people are coming on and being silly or promoting other stuff at the same time is sheer coincidence.

Whoa that’s not me I assure you!

Yeo just logged in to my other account and seems like it’s gone entirely rather than just me being blocked from it.

(Sorry to go off-topic/derail) @Neil Why have I now been blocked from viewing the headliner thread along with my main account being put on approval mode that you’re refusing to approve? I literally paid for my gold membership a couple of days ago so this is bullshit.

Ha I got a dice notification about him playing near me a year or so ago and had such a moment of excitement followed by disappointment. Finch are doing When We Were Young next year mind, so not impossible they could do Slam Dunk, although may just end up being a one off reunion payday.

Yup had no real intention of getting a coach ticket but thought I’d get some practice in but now I’m even less confident in getting one on Sunday. That was a nightmare.
