Olympic Park/Stadium shows 2013

[atomised]

Could be a very good call. Would shift tickets and certainly a wireless type act

Aerosmith ruled out too, they've canceled their unannounced European tour. I don't get it, who might be the headliners for Hard Rock Calling and BST Hyde Park? Where are they going to get 8 headliners?

Hearing rumours that Beyonce could be headed for Wireless at the Olympic Park, to be announced once her O2 Arena dates sell out.

It seems that Aerosmith might have reconsidered as there are some fans saying that they will announce the european tour tomorrow (let's see if it turns out to be true)...

wireless anouncement for friday by they twitter

[roadrunner66]

The latest news from Aerosmith is that they're doing a one-off concert. Apparently, some people saw Aerosmith on US TV saying they will be doing a special festival in Britain in the summer.

That makes 2 headliners for HRC: Aerosmith and KISS.

Third headliner guesses?

Fleetwood Mac - A one-off festival appearance as their O2 shows are sold out?

Prince - The first date of the summer european tour has been confirmed

Rolling Stones - ?

if two of the acts are aerosmith and kiss, then the third act will be a hell of a lot smaller than those you've named.

Really? Why do you say that?

According to what I have read, they want to hold 2 days of Wireless and HRC at the stadium and assuming it will be one day for each festival, and allegedly neither Aerosmith nor KISS are strong acts for a stadium in the UK... Do you think that Aerosmith can sell out a stadium?

nope, I don't think Aerosmith can sell out a stadium. I'm not sure they could sell out an arena.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that shows are to be held in the park, and not necessarily just the stadium. If that's the case then I think it's very likely that HRC will be outside of the stadium if it has Aerosmith and Kiss.

(Whether Wireless will also be outside of the stadium I don't know).

nope, no page yet - because we can't list a fest without having the dates, and because everything about it is so different this year it's not safe to try and predict what dates it will be. The first announcement is this week.

Scott's best guess at who might be playing is Justin Timberlake.

Was announced on Monday (I thought i had seen it )

thanks.

Promoters who put stuff on facebook but not their own website want sacking for their gross stupidity at their inability to promote.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Do you not think JT's rumoured tour with Jay-Z would stand in the way? That's assuming it'd be in the summer, or has it got too late to promote a major summer tour?

[LondonTom]

thanks.

[Muppetmark]

will this 2 days wireless go back to the good old days of one dance day and one pop day or just 2 pop days?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Surely the good old days of Wireless were its earliest days when it didn't repeat book, got massive names, and had a variety?

[TheSeventhOne]

Yeah, I'm not at all fond of them booking small-time no names like Rihanna and Drake.

[Damsonz]

Hard Rock Calling have just posted on FB (after increasingly hostile posts from the public)

Thanks so much for your patience HRC fans.

The good news is we'll be making a date announcement this Friday. The better news is that we'll be making a lineup announcement on the 5th of March.

It's going to be ridiculously good and seriously worth the wait

Could Wireless have Kanye? It would be his second appearance there in six or seven years, but in recent years, they've not exactly been adverse to repeat bookings.

I reckon Hammersmith will sell out in no time at all on Friday, then Wireless will announce "if you missed out, don't worry, he's back!".

I'd go on to say that Wireless date could also point towards a possible Glastonbury booking. The only links I can think of for him and Glastonbury are a. he's supported The Stones, b. he's supposedly been booked before and c. he may have seen Jay-Z and Beyonces success and felt inspired.

Prince has just announced a series of show in Switzerland in mid-July. Could he perhaps headline one of these shows?

[5co77ie]

I'm not sure when Hard Rock Calling is going to be.

The Stadium wasn't licensed until 27th July - and now this is happening the first weekend:

Looks likely HRC could be happening in August, in the Park - where Wireless is - and possibly then will have to be held the weekend between Wireless and the Diamond League Meeting. Guess we find out tomorrow but I can't see it clashing with the Stadium weekend.

This makes it sound like it could be a BLOC all over again, if it's earlier in July:
