Headliners 2015

[Inconspicuous]

Can't see it, just can't see it. That french gig would have been cancelled by now.

[briddj]

2 sold out shows on 28th and 29th in Paris - can't see them cancelling? Didn't the scum say that Oasis was reuniting for Glastonbury last week??

That story was off Ladbrokes quotes based on betting.

[Icewulf]

Are you saying you Won't Get Fooled Again?

Yeah, and I just want to close the festival with something more current, I'm Talking Bout My Generation.

But it's not completely impossible.

[Wooderson]

If this is true well we needn't bother having a 2000-page thread speculating about next year's trio. What's the point when bands just go around cancelling existing dates that supposedly rule them out at the touch of a button. Fuck sake.

A moment of clarity from you Quinner.

Yeah- I'm 54 and they aren't even my generation!

Efests article on it here

[Brave Sir Robin]

The Who a possibility at all? I've got a "friends dad who lives locally heard it's them" story. The bucket of salt i'm taking that with is getting heavy, are they even active?

[Mouseboy11]

Neil/Scottie any thoughts yourselves on this?

Fanks.

This sounds ridiculous

But the sun usually get this kinda thing right

I'm gonna guess they got this one wrong

if by "usually" you mean "occasionally", then yes.

199 pages until Swift is announced for the Saturday.

[neil999]

their set wold be pretty much the same as 2007, pointless and uninspired

[Mash011]

From the article - 'This string of dates has been heavily reported as their last ever tour, and perhaps they really do want to make their final appearance in the UK at Glastonbury Festival.'

That kind of makes sense in a twisted way. I still think it's bizarrely improbable but if this really is their last ever tour I can see why they'd want to play Glastonbury over that French gig.

[Inconspicuous]

If this was a done deal as far back as the ETC event or even that quote above in February, then that Paris gig would surely have been rearranged by now...

[incident]

They were actually pretty good in 2007, and deserve a chance to do it again some time without the rain pissing down. But to cancel/move a gig less than 2 months out seems.. unlikely.. especially in a major city on a limited date European tour where lots of fans will have booked transport + hotel rooms.

The Morrissey example doesn't really compare, that was on a tour where he played damn near everywhere so would have had a much lower percentage of travelling fans. And there was an extra months notice of the move.

If they wanted to play Glastonbury that much and thought it was a possibility then surely the Paris gigs could have been arranged for a different time?

Which would give it away if they have to hold it back for BST.

(one of the guesses we made last night was The Who, which you lot quickly killed by pointing out they were in Paris that night)

The day I belive an article by the sun is going to be a cold day in hell

I'll suck a welly if it turns out to be the who

[dentalplan]

If anyone's alright at speaking French and could tweet @Zenith_Paris then we might be able to bury this one by morning.

[LadyP]

The tour's been on sale since December, and surely would have sold out quick, does it really fit with the "still got tickets to sell" theory? Or is that out of the frame to be replaced by the "still got 6000 french people to piss off" theory?

[briddj]

Shit I'm out all day tomorrow. There's going to be another 1000 pages when I get home.

unless the slot became available after they had set up the Paris gig
