Can I propose the possibility of Elvis Costello supporting Paul McCartney on the Sunday?

Costello has just announced a small UK solo tour with no London dates either side of the HRC weekend, with “more dates to follow”:

Mon June 21st Symphony Hall, Birmingham

Wed June 23rd New Theatre, Oxford

Thu June 24th St Davids Hall, Cardiff

Mon June 28th Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool

It seems strange that he would announce no London dates, and McCartney and Costello have collaborated on numerous occasions so… At first I thought Costello would be too big, but it is a solo tour (i.e. without the Imposters).

Of course it could just mean he’s playing Glastonbury. Or meltdown.

cant believe all this 'transaction fee' & 'processing fee' hidden costs they add on! its a disgrace! was about to buy a day ticket for Pearl Jam advertised at £47.50 i think, and with all the fees comes to 59 f**kn quid!!!

Anyway screw seetickets, is the pearl jam day likely to sell out & do they hold some tickets back u can buy on the day at the box office? cos surely there they cant charge all these ridiculous fees

Keeping in mind the Pearl Jam day is already full (I assume), I dont think any of the Reading & Leeds acts will fit in on Sat/Sun at HRC very much.

I see Wireless has Taylor Hawkins and The Coattail Riders. I really think they would be far better suited to supporting Paul McCartney at HRC... anyone else??

EDIT: A thought just came to me... Perhaps, maybe, POSSIBLY the reason Taylor Hawkins isn't playing at HRC is because a certain bandmate of his IS and they don't want to start a big rumour mill about a possible collaboration happening, which would take some of the spotlight away from McCartney... I can dream, right?? :P

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
