Or springsteen since he has the gap and had a date in Liverpool which was scrapped.
That Liverpool date was very unlikely to be over Glasto weekend given he’s playing Netherlands and Belgium either side of it

Anyone get sorted for The Boss?
Is that for O2 customers?

Probably my least favourite of 20 odd Bruce shows
Dunno why you keep going back if his shows are always odd

I suspect the TM one is more accurate

if they use the same venue set up as the last Cardiff gig, then they basically just used half the venue and had the rest curtained off.
it was actually really fantastic as even tho it was in a stadium if felt like a small show - was one of my best Bruce gigs ever.
No, it's the full stadium this time

Apparently Cardiff seating starts at £65, and it's £120 for standing.
One odd thing (that's presumably a mistake) is that the seating plan on See shows the Cardiff show being in the round, whilst Wembley isn't
-
If he is doing Glasto that's an odd schedule - playing Netherlands, lugging all the band, crew and gear over here and then back to Belgium, which is next door to Netherlands

The Mission at Manc Ritz last night. Not a band that gets talked about much but still going strong, Wayne's vocals have really held up considering the abuse he put them through. So many great songs, terrific crowd, band on top form. Would recommend.
Haven't seen them since the 1987 (I think) Reading Festival

Not fact at all. If it's good enough for Bob Plant it's good enough for sting
Sting's notoriously large ego might not see it this way

Surely Glasto can be an Oasis-free zone for two years running?

I’d be surprised if she didn’t do the big numbers on this tour. Apparently she’s doing 25 songs in full, and another 20 “will be interspersed in the two hour show as 'bridges' between the acts”
She’s also going to be wearing recreations of some of her more famous outfits

Looking at some of the stats for these shows, and given how carefully choreographed the show will be, it seems doubtful this could transfer to the Pyramid without significant change:
4,400 square feet of stage, the largest for any Madonna tour. Inspired by the grid of Manhattan with Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, East and West stages.
3 Layered circular stage where the traditional main stage would be, inspired by the wedding cake of Madonna's original VMA performance.
230 Feet of combined length of catwalk that gets Madonna 105 feet far into the venue.14 Spotlights for Madonna and over 600 intelligent lights to light the stage and arena with over 8800 lighting cues
3600 Square feet of projection imagery to the show. The most amount of video ever used in a Madonna show.
30 Feet off the ground - Madonna is transported around the arena in an illuminated portal frame that acts as a time machine allowing her to move at 1.5 feet per second, 80 feet across and 130 feet down the length of the arena designed to symbolise looking into the past, present and towards the future.24 Onstage performers
1 Extraordinary drag queen
8th Tour partnering with director Jamie King
1 Stuart Price reunion (producer)

means there can be a pre recorded vocal too, and she doesn't have to risk embarrassment
Was thinking that as she has previous. So potentially nothing’s live apart from any between song banter

I think the Aerosmith dream is over. Tyler f**ked up his pipes on the 3rd date of the USA tour (I was there!), and initially they postponed and rearranged the gigs for the next 4 weeks, but now the whole tour has been indefinitely postponed.
Looking on an Aerosmith forum, the general feeling is that may be that for the band, or if they do manage to honour the rest of the US tour, overseas dates are unlikely. I really hope not though, I’d love to catch them again -
If AC/DC tour next year, I can't see them being bothered about a festival that pays peanuts (and which they have no allegiance to) when they can earn megabucks playing the world's stadia. It's not as if they need the exposure.

In terms of current popularity in the UK, I don't see Pulp as having a significantly smaller following then The Cure, and if they can headline...
Can confirm that Pulp's current production is very entertaining and would likely be a fondly remembered headline slot, even if the field wasn't completely rammed

Three gigs in three days last weekend whilst visiting a very hot and humid NYC.
On Friday we were at the glorious Radio City Music Hall, an Art Deco masterpiece, to see a Squeeze/Psychedelic Furs double bill. Both were in fine form, and it was the first time I’d seen the latter since they headlined the Pyramid on the Friday in 1986.
Saturday saw us travel out to the UBS Arena in Elmont, Long Island, to see the mighty Aerosmith, supported by The Black Crowes. I was taken aback by how great Tyler looked and sounded given his age (75). The show was so good, and it is a shame they never did do their Glasto slot. A few days after this show Aerosmith released a statement saying that all the dates over the next 30 days were postponed as he’d damaged his vocal cords. Would have been gutted if I’d missed them.
We were at MSG on Sunday for show 94 of Billy Joel’s 100 gig residency there. Our cheap-ass (not!) tickets were behind the stage, but fairly close to it and gave an amazing view. His piano swivelled around regularly so he rarely had his back to us. I’m not a huge fan, but it was a top notch concert, banger anfter banger, and his pipes are in fine form - much much better than the likes of Macca, Reg etc. Get him on the farm whilst he still has the voice.

RIP Jimmy Buffett. I never saw him play, but I did have a few drinks at Margaritaville in Key West. Practically unknown over here, he was a constantly big concert draw in the US and built up a unique cottage industry around his persona.
Saw him do a couple of songs at the 'Music for Montserrat' show that George Martin put together at the RAH in 1997. Can't say I was aware of his music prior to that

Looking forward to your next contribution to this Glastonbury forum

Great guitarist. Wish I'd seen that classic Whitesnake lineup, before the hair metal years.

I'm sure if he was offered the Legends slot, Rodney would jump at the chance and bring out all the bangers (and Woody too!) irrespective of what he's said about not playing them

A lot of people work weekends, and it can be a right ball-ache getting time off at short notice
