roadrunner66 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) The problem is the longer they leave it the more likely everyone will be booked up for other gigs / festivals. Not just the acts either, cash is likely to be tight and chuck in hotel costs and Hard Rock Calling needs to pull its finger out! I heard a rumour REM might be over for the summer festivals but who knows. Edited January 27, 2011 by roadrunner66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staffsknot Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Just a thought but with a remoulded Thin Lizzy doing Donnington they could be on the Bon Jovi day as they'd fit like a glove. Van Halen would also be a great addition. While I'd love Motorhead to play Hard Rock calling I think they are a little too hard rock for the audience, I love them but I doubt half the crowd would know anything apart from Ace of Spades. Besides I think its more likely they'd do High Voltage or something like that after their Donnington stint. I still reckon Foo Fighters are a cert for appearing somewhere on the Glastonbury bill and would be a great Friday band as there's nothing in their schedule for that weekend. There's no end of possibilities its just trying to line them up in a coherent line-up that appeals to mainstream - something HRC aims for. It also all depends on what lands at Glasto's doorstep and how much Live Nation are willing to chuck at Hard Rock Cafe's celebrations.

booties Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Bugger I'd missed that one - US date formats and all. Thank god I'm getting my fix at MK Bowl. Could well be Coldplay then just hope they don't book the other alledged Glasto headliner - Beyonce - its a rock concert come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolmbridgeLad Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 If Beyonce is the third Glastonbury headliner that rules out Prince as the American artist that was going to headline there,so i'm now thinking and hoping REM for HRC on the Sunday,Coldplay or Kasabian for the Saturday.

judyblue110 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I was severely worried when I saw: Neil Diamond UK Tour But THANKFULLY he already has a London date... Phew!! I still dont understand how he manages to sell that many tickets?! So, do we have no new rumours, people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugger2k Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well I'd say its pretty much odds on Coldplay are going to appear so it just leaves us with one day. If they announce someone else for Friday night I think we've got a Coldplay Sunday... Just thank your lucky stars we haven't got N-Dubz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane11 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 The Sunday headline act will be announced within the next ten days. About time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyblue110 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I wonder who it could be! Don't think it's Coldplay, seeing as Glastonbury have already announced them - surely HRC would just have jumped on the bandwagon and made the announcement to sway any Coldplay fans their way. Don't think it's The Eagles, given that Hop Farm have them now (and what a booking! Noone called that one!!). For the last 2 years, AC/DC have been heavily rumoured (or at least by eFestivals, make of that what you will...) so could be an option. If I had to guess... I would say... Sunday is Fleetwood Mac. Friday is The Rolling Stones. Completely random guesses, but guesses nonetheless! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane11 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Fleetwood Mac would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffsknot Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 cant mate, been told off and checked up on this year :angry: but i will say that if the get who they want on the friday its the booking of the summer, and the sunday sucks the sweat off a dead dogs balls!!

booties Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 As I've got a ticket for HRC on the Saturday for Bon Jovi I'm hoping I'm not going to get Coldplay or Kasabian instead. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffsknot Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I wouldn't describe REM as pants though and Tugger reckons Sunday will be cack. On the scale of how cack Sunday will be are we talking Cheryl Cole miming level of crap or full on VIP front row of a Simply Red concert having thought you'd booked Foo Fighters tickets... and having taken six mates with you so you can't deny it, level of cack? I understand if you can't divulge that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
