Take That? reply from Emily

[rexclark]

not quite as bad as having tickets, breaking up with the girlfriend the week before, going but getting absolutely trollied cos you're not in the right place, and then forgetting that most of it happened

wembley for me though this time i think

[ivan]

8 or 9?

glasgow, newcastle, manchester, birmingham, cardiff, london...

suppose based on last time, and with robbie, they could easily get away with about 6 or 7 london shows though. they did europe on the beautiful world tour so wish they'd go back. london for me though cos hampden is shite!

[ampersand]

Not venturing through to Hampden again?

[ivan]

nah, but not cos of the city, just cos of the shitness of the stadium. which makes a difference when you look at vids of the hampden show and the wembley show.

yeah i think they played sunderland actually, rather than newcastle. just think that 6 or 7 wembley shows isn't unlikely going with the 58 shows.

i wish i had someone from corrie beside me was was it?

[ampersand]

No idea ! , never watch the show , it must have been the late 06 tour ! , I am old school so if its not

Ken Barlow or Eddie Yates etc I do not know nor care !

Although my mum lives in Spain and Anne Kirkbride is a neighbour and they have the odd natter !!

[Jackmypie]

As many of pointed out countless times, if Glasto was only full of the coolest bands of the land, it would be a nightmare with so many stages of acts you love playing at exactly the same time.

For me Glasto works so well because of how diverse it is, and there's nothing better than having a stroll around site taking a few songs from different stages that would never share the same space on any other day of the week.

For me the Take That tour is all about money just like the majority of reunion gigs, Robbie and Gary may produce a video of brokeback proportions to convince the masses but it's quite clear by the look on Garys face in any interview he finds him as annoying as ever.

However they will put on a good show and there are bloody loads of other stages playing stuff at exactly the same time so nobody is going to get bored.

The only tragedy would be if Glasto stopped being diverse, last year Norah Jones opened for Slash on the Pyramid Stage and little things like that is why I love Glastonbury.

Crazy shit, some good, some not so good all playing at the same time, 5 days of forgetting what the media say you should like and soak up the biggest Smörgåsbord of music and contemporary arts under the stars. Peace!

Ooh wouldn't mind seeing take that.. But saying that I just cant picture them at glasto for some reason. Might have to check this announcement out though

Edit: haha I love it gigs in Manchester, Glasgow, London, wembley...and Sunderland?! How random

[Roonwilldo]

well i'm told that they'll be playing the sunset slot on one of the days. i don't buy it myself.

[msutherlandglasto08]

There is a big Glastonbury shaped hole in their tour schedule - Thursday in Glasgow, Monday in Birmingham, the Weekend empty. Oh please I hope not! Mind you, there will always be something brilliant on elsewhere, although the wife might want to go and see them.

[Stu H]

Where did you hear this? The tour dates suggest this is a possibility.

[ampersand]

the gaps are for added dates. that'll sell out in the blink of an eye and more will pencilled in.

[Captain_conehead]

Most bands announce their own dates before admitting they are playing Glasto so this timing plus the gap makes sense.

I still think it's an unlikely scenario however U2/Take That/Foo Fighters based on the latest tour announcements and Emily saying rumours are off base COULD be a possibility.

[ampersand]

European dates will follow, including gigs in Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.

[ampersand]

well they're playing the amsterdam arena and olympiastadion in munich as well has hamburg, dusseldorf, copenhagen and milan.

what would people recommend as a good euro trip? and i don't smoke weed!

Much as I can't f**king stand Take That, seems strange to single them out for being in it for the cash. Show me any reunion tour, from Blur to the Pixies to Pavement, it's all about the pound notes. You'd be a fool to think otherwise.
