Keeping British acts coming through to put them in a position to headline seems more about them playing lower down to me rather than headlining now.

That's a fair comment. She said that in relation to Kasabian playing on the Sunday last year, but it could equally apply to lower placed acts. Personally, I couldn't give a toss if they're British. The quality is more important to me. Is there anyone who'd prefer Noel Gallagher over Prince?

I honestly think it could be Sheeran. He's at the height of his fame right now .. And would tick the solo artist, from UK, bump up etc.

I know he's in San Fransisco on Friday 26th June .. But he could fly back next day .. Play on the Saturday and get back to Denver for the 29th June. Quite easy with the hours you get back flying to the USA.

He doesn't have a band he would need to bring, and I'm sure he'd be fully up for doing it. This opportunity may never happen again for him .. His 3rd album could flop and he could be back busking on the streets.

Put this on this forum afew months gao, my friend who works for a tour booking agency in Dublin heard that Glasto were 'lining him up'. But he hardly seems like he would give Glasto the run around.

I can, too.

While I wouldn't say that rules him out entirely, it's lessened my thinking towards it being Prince.

Back to the drawing board.

Is this what you heard yesterday or new info on top of what you heard yesterday that made you question Prince?

Has anyone made a jump in position as big as that without any new material?

Apart from Florence (and her band) I cannot now put a name down of a single Solo act as per yesterday's thinking that it could be.

Maybe we should discuss bands again, have we mentioned any recently :sarcastic:

Or maybe just slowly accept that you may well be getting flo? :P

      We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.

      Sziget 2026

      By CCester · Posted

      The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
