Yeah with the 50th anniversary you'd expect that next year will be the Stones' last major tour. Whether they want to tick the Glasto box or not will probably dictate if they play or not. I'm sure they wouldn't be announced until all the stadium dates sold out, anyway.

In a way I'd like them to play for Glasto's sake, but I'd also rather see a newer band who deserve the exposure that goes with a Glasto headline slot take it instead. Arcade Fire simply have to headline 2013.

I'm going for - A classic headliner (maybe Tom Petty? Dylan?) for Friday - Arcade Fire for Saturday and then some bullshit contemporary pop act on Sunday.

The Stones have also played freebie shows before now. I'm not sure how the funding worked for SARSstock and/or Copacabana Beach and I'm sure they didn't come away empty handed, but they're not always (entirely) focussed on the paycheque. Otherwise they wouldn't still play their (admittedly occasional) club shows.

Arcade Fire are defiantly playing!!! if I keep saying it will happen.

They where in talks to sub-headline last time and then all of a sudden they had a couple of grammys and Brit awards in their back pockets and so I reckon ME said scrap that idea and you can headline in 2013 and a deal was done.

A few weeks later at Hyde park I think they said see you in 2 years, so they are deffo playing!!!

    • A name I didn’t think of. Maybe too big though. Think he’d go down very well despite being quite controversial. 
    • Oh bummer, got excited then 😂   Although if I had read all the way down it would have been a bit of a give away, no other festival will book both of those 😂
    • I think the age of tickets flying out day one for a lot of artists is drawing to a close now, especially with the prices.   There will be exceptions of course, I was surprised how quickly Phoebe Bridgers sold out 
    • Tbf they sold out the mainland European shows that follow this UK tour more or less immediately so I guess much of Europe will be stadiums for them next summer regardless and they might want to bring any stadium bespoke production here, even if it's just one night at a London stadium or whatever.    I like the new album and wanted to see them again but £150 for a standing ticket is ridiculous and all the sub-£100 price categories sold out. So you know, would like to go but guess I'm waiting for any last minute dropouts. Tbf I would hazard a guess of these 4 UK shows in November that more tickets are sold than unsold and by the time of the show it'll be, if not a full house, close enough. 
    • I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility    It would feel like a bit of waste for their first set in the UK for 12 years be an hour and 10 mins as a sub    A lot of people will buy day tickets just for FNM
