I for one found it a very insightful post! I now know that a band is potentially going to play Glasto! If nothing else its another band to add to the list of bands who we dont know have been confirmed yet or not, but with the added mystery of guessing the name too!

Its expert level rumour creation!

Why mention it at all, then?

I'm going guess Neil wanted to point out the hard to guess festival mentioned as some people might find the phrasing midly amusing.

Why do you post shit questions?

love it when people get upset by these cryptic clues :lol:

it wasn't even a cryptic clue, it was no clue and wasn't intended to be a clue. It was to show the sorts of things that are now getting sent out by bands.

And if anyone thinks that it's come from a band that's not in the rumours, they're dafter than a daft thing at a daftness convention. :P

at this moment (to my knowledge, anyway) they're the only band in the running.

There'll only be another band in the running if they knock it back.

They won't knock it back... will they? from the sounds of interviews with them they sounded all up for it just have to see what happens

I've got absolutely no idea.

One side of me thinks that the background stuff couldn't have gone on for so long (4+ months) without it reaching the ears of the band and having their explicit approval, whilst the facts seem to say that they are contractually barred from being able to do it and will not be doing it.

And IF Glastonbury are STILL trying for them, that would suggest they believe they are not contractually barred from playing?

I dunno how far along the line the process might have got to (or if my info is even actually right), so I dunno if 'still' applies. It might have been and gone already.

But yes, if they were going for them they would have been doing so in the belief that it could be made to happen - it would be pointless if that wasn't the case.

But I know that what an agent might say does not always match up to what it is possible to do.

As I say, I have absolutely no idea of what way an offer might go.

If the" exclusive" with soni is unbreakable etc...

but as you said Its not like they would ask if they didn't think some sort of deal was possible.

so basically they could of had an offer, there has been talks for a while but you're hearing different things so not sure which way its gonna go... hmm... interesting

      Sziget 2026

      By CCester · Posted

      They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.

      Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.

      I wonder if they had that vote again they'd vote differently, seeing how successful other mayors like Burnham have been?

      Doesn't surprise me. West Yorkshire had a vote if they wanted a mayor in 2012 and voted no. The government then ignored the vote and announced the position anyway in 2016.
