Also Prince has announced more UK dates maybe they can announce Metallica to headline other stage now Prince has agreed *fingers crossed* not going to happen though

I'd rather not

[morph100]

I just hope the rest of the line up comes with it!

[benj847]

With tickets to shift in large venues I really really really doubt it.

[The Placid Casual]

I've seen someone call Metallica an uninteresting booking for Glasto. Surely it's on the other end of the spectrum!

[The Placid Casual]

that has nothing to do with it, Glastonbury is sold out people that'd still buy tickets just for Prince no longer can, if anything him headlining the festival would give him more publicity and help him sell out those venues, not that he probably needs it. The problem is he is a w*nker.

[Riggins]

Is it not more likely that they were waiting on Prince and he's just said nope, I'm doing my own dates so they've got on the phone to Metallica and signed on the dotted line with them, so it's now ready?

[eFestivals]

Yeah, fuck Prince, I like his music, but his attitude towards Glastonbury appears to be shit

Corrected for you.

Who hasn't known this for two and half decades already?

No.

The Metallica deal has been done for weeks, if not longer.

I doubt there's been anything from Prince. If there has, it's far more likely to be a yes than a no. No answer is a no.

[alframsey]

I absolutely fucking hate Gordon Smart, complete knob end in my book.

I know isn't a reliable source or anything but they're saying Metallica are going to be announced on XFM? Cannot see that happening. Glastonbury always announce it of their own accord right? Anyway surely if they were releasing it on radio they'd do it with 6music?

given that Gordon Smart isn't, my guess bis that he's only just cottoned to it being Metallica, and the "imminent" bit is to try and suggest he's on some sort of inside loop.

Remember, this is a geezer better known for making it up than writing true stories.

Yep, c**t. He played bad heavy metal, AND Prince songs.

It's not possible to get worse than that. =
