In 'This is It' the Jacko live experience is very much a production, with every song having fresh costumes, sets, choreography etc. Logistically I just can't see it working as a one-off. He never was the one to just turn up with a four-piece backing band and run through a spontaneous set.

I still regret not getting the 'I was at Glasto when Jacko died' T-shirt.

Still don't know how they managed to get those shirts printed and on sale within the space of day... conspiracy... the eavis family got revenge on MJ because he said no to headlining in 2007 CALLED IT!!!

There's nothing sadder than watching a legend who is clearly no longer up to it. James Brown's set in 04 was one of the saddest gigs I've ever seen.

I got that feeling last year when I saw the Pogues support Libertines at Hyde Park. As soon as Shane bumbled on, I couldn't say anything out of shock.

The band are still tight as ever tho, but yea, Shane was Plastered and you couldnt understand a word. However they did pick up a rather dull day up to that point. Everyone was up dancing when they came on!

I think Slipknot are the obvious candidates, given how Metallica made everyone last year look like amateurs Metal is what the festival needs. No matter who is announced without Slipknot it will be a flacid weekend.

1 post, but what a post.

I have seen worse suggestions

will never ever happen (and for good reason - even if they did reform, Morrissey would be hating every minute of it. it wouldn't be an enjoyable experience)

From reading quite a lot on the subject, it seems to be Marr who is against the idea of the Smiths reforming. I think Morrisey would agree to playing with Marr again in a heartbeat. Whether that also include Joyce and Rourke is anyone's guess.

I do honestly believe Marr and Morrisey will play together on stage again at some point.

i believe Marr and Morrissey don't have much of a problem with each other, it's the hangover from that court case 25 years ago that is preventing any reunion. I think Morrissey would be loathed to hand them any more money!

I'm not sure Slipknot are currently available following the small matter of a family knife fight.

    • Based on previous times that rules quite a lot out of early summer festivals into the August runs.
    • No dramas man, I just like to follow others journeys as well. Get the inspiration, give out inspiration and the outdoors is the clear the head place to do it. I'm heading out for a easy trail run today I think, 10k- 10 mile we'll see how we go. I've got a half marathon in October I'm well unprepared for hahs
    • The Cheap Thrills at Mountford Hall, Liverpool.    They've been around for a while and have built up a large local following. Last night was their biggest yet, at a sold out 2,200 capacity venue.    It was a big old joyous, indie singalong from start to finish, the band clearly having the time of their lives. The debut album is out next month and they seem to be going down well on the festival circuit, maybe their time has finally come.   2 supports, I unfortunately missed Credits but the few songs they have on Spotify sound good, Americana vibes. The other was M60, reportedly Gary Neville's favourite band. If that's true, he's as clueless about music as he is football. To be fair, their sound was poor, maybe with a clearer sound they'd have been better but it was pretty dull.  
    • I can see them all merging along with the Tory’s . Restore curently couldn’t muster enough candidates to be a viable option . I lasted 4 mins and couldn’t watch any more . Lowe is just dull along with racist
