Eminem?

[klb]

He's already been confirmed for other festivals around Europe and he owes it to his UK fans to come back here after cancelling his tour in 2004. I can't really see it happening myself but it would be great if he came to glasto. What do you guys think?

Crossed my mind the other day actually when I saw he was playing European festivals in early July. Notably, he's playing Scotland and Dublin but not yet England. Why not follow Jay-Z and N.E.R.D. to Glasto?

I'd love it - why not?

[eFestivals]

I believe he'll be playing Wireless but not Glastonbury.

i thought he was but i think its going to be Jay Z instead of em now

Jay-Z is already announced for the Sunday. Eminem will headline the Saturday.

I'd love it if he played....although I have seen hm before and he does normally have big productions, not sure how and when and on what stage he would feature

Eminem would be ace. Would certainly go and see him but as the fees he would want are not what Glasto could pay its a very unlikely proposition isnt it?

[eFestivals]

which part of "he's not playing Glastonbury" are people finding difficult to understand?

Which part of "would love it if he played" don't you understand! ;D

Oh, I understand that.

But I'm on the floor laughing that some who want him to play are the sorts who bang on all the time about "the Glastonbury spirit" - and who then think that an act who is a very long way from that should be on the bill.

But anyway, however much you might want him to play, he ain't. I know this*.

(* that was certainly the situation or week or so back, anyway).

Good response - Eminem matter settled for now, then.

The Glasto spirit is ALL about diversity and inclusion, if you ask me. N.E.R.D. are as welcome as Lily Allen or Rolf Harris or Stevie Wonder.

That's the magic!

And being a homophobic twat like Eminem is also all about diversity and inclusion is it?

Which may well have a huge bearing on why he's not on the bill and won't ever be.

[GlastoEls]

Out of interest, would you want THE WHO to play?

[Davness]

Kill with fire! (Eminem that is)

[ninja-style]

LOL Exactly, you knw where im going with this.

Pete Townsend is a Nonce.

Is being a Nonce part of the Glasto spirit???

While I don't much personally disagree with the conclusion you've reached, he's certainly not proven as one.

That's rather different to the proof given in Eminem's own lyrics.
