the new Springsteen rumour...can Neil (or anyone) give us some background to where this came up? I see that it seems it might be an Isle of Wight vs. Glastonbury thing, one or the other...

It would be marvelous to have the Boss at Glastonbury, Sunday night to close things out, but I just don't want to get needlessly excited about it. It could make sense in that having a new record out so quickly (Jan, 09) and touring again might mean he would want to try to do something different when he hits the UK in the Summer, rather than the same old stadiums (although he hasn't played Wembley since '88) . Would be gutted if he did IOW instead of Glastonbury. Would be gutted if we find out soon that there is no substance to the rumour though. No mention of it at all on www.backstreets.com, and they were quick to refute the Springsteen Glasto rumours from a few years back.

but, if true, this could be an incredible Glastonbury as far as headliners go....

Fri - Blur

Sat - Radiohead

Sun - Springsteen and the E Street Band (preceded by 'special guests' Neil Young)

Word reaches eFestivals from one of our regular very good sources that Bruce is almost definitely the Saturday headliner.

Also, that Blur will be the Sunday headliner providing that they all stay as bessie mates again for a while longer, but that they'll be no Radiohead.

More info if/when we have it. :P

      I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana

      Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand.

      I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.

      MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.

      Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
