Petshop Boys

[Arronbury]

Can anyone shed any light on what happened to the initial Petshop Boys Rumour.

1st I saw it was on their Wiki page months and months ago.

I think it was SR on efestivals then it dissapeared and I can't find why.

Now back again!

I've searched the forum but can find no news.

Thanks

I asked that earlier today & efest said that it was on there wiki page so they put them down as a rumour, then when they asked PSB's people they said they knew nothin about it so efests removed them from the rumours page. Now they r back on would of thought its pretty much a dead cert now

Great band, get them booked

[PAH030]

Holy moly, do you ever get that feeling that everyone around you is losing their minds

Arghhhh!!

There doesn't seem to be any other serious rumours for the 4th headliner. They have 2 gigs planed for the week before glasto. They have a new album out. They could easily do a greatest hits setlist. I reckon they're the 4th headliner. 'Nailed on' as many would say on these forums...

[Arronbury]

After ME saying early last year that the crowd was getting "too middle aged" and that he wanted to appeal to a "younger, more urban crowd". It seems like a strange lineup. This is my kind of taste, well, Blur and Bruce are for sure but if Blur are the youngest, newest band on a bill then what does he expect?

Did a search not find the 2 page thread i bumped this morning

pet shop boys are one of the best pop bands of the last 20 years, and would be perfect for glasto

by all accounts their set a few years back was tremendous

[PAH030]

I just don't get the attraction, i think they're really really bad, its beyond me how they managed to have a successful career

As my dad says - plinky, plonk music, haha

[harper11]

absolute shocking band

no need for them at glasto

[Mardy]

Great band, worth a million earnest old hacks with their guitars

They are a superb act live. Never disappointed me at a range of venues

They are shit. West End Girls was good, but most of the rest is utter balls. Neil Tennant has the most pathetic excuse for a voice in history and their tunes are just the worst crap imaginable. 'It's s Sin' makes me want to kill someone in the same way Culture Club's 'Victims' did.. or perhaps Rednex 'Cotton Eyed Joe'. I could go on...

Dire!

And worst of all I can just imagine having to endure the whole things purely cause I'm waiting to see someone 80 billion times better at the same stage.

It's going to happen.

Beer.

Don't you just hate people who post negative 'they are rubbish'' type posts?!

so thats 10 minutes of the gig sorted, what would they do for the other hour and 50.

[DiscoDolly]

They were great in 2000, and if you dont like em dont watch em, f**k off somewhere else, theres plenty places to go....altho i do agree the headliners (if the PSB do play) are looking predominantly older...come to that , im old meself but Neil young and Springsteen both give me the shudders, so expect to see me in the John Peel tent with the young-uns.... now theres a crowd that know how to have fun!!
