OASIS?

[FloorFiller]

i chucked another £50 on Metallica. usually i wouldn't dream of doing this kind of thing but i've somehow got a bit of extra cash at the moment so couldn't hurt (which it usually would). here's hoping (but even moreso for DR OK - £450! fucking hell)

[Justiceforcedave]

Missed the boat! I was ready for a Metallica bet!

[FloorFiller]

Paddy Power don't know what to do with themselves. This just shows how wide open the whole thing is. Really, Saturday's headliner could be anybody at this point, and we're almost in May. It's incredibly exciting.

Glastonbury does offer other benefits though, like a spike in sales and huge public interest.

It's mental - that betting is literally from all the idiots on twitter staying 'omg I hope oasis reform and play Glastonbury'. So paddy power reopened it to clean up. Unfortunately for them I don't think they reckoned on efestivals!

Neither of which Oasis will be lacking.

There's literally no reason for them to play.

Seriously what is this? http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/oasis-glastonbury-liam-gallagher-tweets-7030912

Why Is Glastonbury the first conclusion people jump to on all this? Madness

[GlastoSimon]

Liam is obviously short of cash, and has decided to release a new Beady Eye album under the Oasis name...

EDIT: In all seriousness, the only possible reason I could see them reforming to play Pilton would be if they wished to drum up even more interest. Play an event with no tickets available, live on the BBC, and then sell multiple nights at [Venue X] in August or whenever.

One thing is for sure, if they do reform it will piss all over The Libertines' parade.

Another thing is for sure, Kasabian and Oasis in the same year would probably cause the site to implode with lad-rock-ness.

Got £450 on Metallica at various odds now. Here's hoping,,,

[Andeeroo]

other than some kind of want to finally 'nail it' (which if i recall, Noel doesn't think they have), but i can't really see them sitting down and saying 'we HAVE to do Glastonbury and we HAVE to get it right this time'. i doubt they give a shit, so yeah, no real benefit for them

[CHRLY]

Don't be silly, oasis could never follow jack white

[Samhodson95]

Just went to bet on Metallica not happening

[kalifire]

[GlastoSimon]

Another thing, I'm the shittest person for betting ever, but if Paddy Power have suspended betting, surely they believe there is something in it? Otherwise they'd just take people's money?

I'm sure it isn't happening but it would be a plausible way for Noel to remain true to his word that he wouldn't reform just for money. And then, of course, make loads of money by doing a few massive shows elsewhere.

I disagree. Primetime BBC coverage? More headlines than you could shake a stick at?

Oasis is a band from the previous generation. They might have been big in the mid-late 90s, but that was a long, long time ago. Their last decent album is getting on for 20 years ago. They'd be foolish to assume they could just walk into a stadium tour or an endless string of high paying gigs. Two or three, yes, but if they do it, they'd maximise it for income, and the exclusivity and publicity of a well-executed Glastonbury headline spot would have the naysayers queueing up to relive the magic, I reckon.

To me, it makes a lot of sense that they'd start a comeback - even a limited nostalgia tour - with a headline slot at the world's biggest Festival. It does make sense.

[GlastoSimon]

but how would they know? surely there must be a point where they're getting so many bets that they're like 'shit we could be paying out a lot of money here'

also could've been an influx on Metallica bets from people on this forum

I'm not a betting man, but as much as I'd waaaay rather see Oasis than Metalica... I'm confident it will be metalica. The Gallaghers are too high risk and have said some grim things about Glasto over the last few years. If they wanted dosh they could sell out Heaton Park as someone has already said.

The Liam set last year was a good omen and went down well - but I dont think anything this big could have been kept under wraps this tightly.

(n)oasis.

Unfortunately.

[kalifire]

Also waiting on the Neil:Bollocks reality check before investing any more in this

When was the last Glasto things were so wide open so late in the calendar, out of interest?
