I kind of lost track of the received wisdom during today's madness, but are tickets for that Paris show still on sale ANYWHERE? Including the secondary sales bastards? Because if yes, and people are conceivably buying tickets in good faith, for an event that has already, unofficially been cancelled then (a) that's just stratospheric levels of piss taking and ( b ) fraud?

This whole thing, if so, just stinks of capitalist, materialist shite to me. And I'm pretty easy going, generally.

Ben

My understanding is that they are sold out anyhow? Not checked myself tho

I don't like bringing up football on here as it often turns into an argument, but..

I think I read you support newport (if thats wrong sorry) but still:

Terry Butcher is announced as their manager. If a few weeks before the season he says "Sod it, Im going to Derby" what would you think to that?

Same principle.

I just wrote a big response to this and hit refresh in error.

I can't be arsed writing it again.

Basically I see ur point, I personally wouldn't hold it against anyone and would make the most of my situation, and I know nothing about Newport. I do however know terry butcher, he signed one of my balls when I was a kid

Bit of an odd body part to get signed

Having been out of the loop for well over a week with my aim of sorting out a new job before the end of May (I have a new job starting next week, just in time for me to enjoy Glastonbury with a nice pay packet)... The Who are the 3rd headliners? A band which was ruled out because of a gig in Paris.. I haven't got around to reading the thread about The Who. But I am confused! Cracking set of headliners if it is true. Will they just reschedule the gig in Paris? I hope so for everyone who has a ticket for the gig!

I agree completely that this would be a dick move from Townsend and Daltrey If it's true.

Saying that. Always liked The Who. Never seen them. Considering some of the shite that's been touted this year this isn't all that bad.

What did people make of them in 2007?

They were okay, but the Sunday night was a tough slot for anyone after all of the rain and mud that year. Some people left on the Thursday that year because of the flooding!

I think I would've enjoyed it more if I were more familiar with them to be honest - and I've barely listened to them since as well!

I doubt StubHub have removed anything, I doubt they had any listed to start with.

If you look at their Upcoming Events for the venue, only a few shows are listed and only 3 of them have any tickets showing. Looks like StubHub isn't a big thing in France.

the other issue for me is they played in 2007 and it would be virtually the same set, no new material...a 'heritage act' shouldn't headline twice

Agreed. Unless they happen to be called Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen or Paul McCartney!

Anyway, aside from the shiteyness of it all, I need a Sunday headliner, so I'm gonna get cracking giving them a good listen - I only (knowingly) know My Generation and Pinball Wizard.

Listened to a couple of Belle and Sebastian songs when the lineup first came out and wasn't too bothered by them, but obviously that's only a couple of songs. Same story with the Chems, too; only know a couple of songs.

The Who are ace. The Chems are ace. You've a treat instore either way gaffer.

I'm not sure I'd go as far as using the word "nonce", but there was definitely some dodgy behaviour and a spell on the sex offenders register.

The man admitted buying child porn - that to me makes him a nonce.

Therefore if Glasto book them I will be as far away as I can be. A nonce headlining the Pyramid is unacceptable. I have already had to erase Rolf from my memory without allowing Pete Child Porn Townsend play too

You know he's already played the Pyramid since then, right? With a respectable crowd and no real controversy as far as I remember.

      Ah, that is interesting and ruins my theory a bit!!   I think my point just about holds though, and coming full circle on this discussion, being a sizable band such as Muse and not being able to sell out two O2 dates very quickly or at all doesn’t fill me with confidence that they be able to do a decent job selling a stadium tour…although maybe if Muse do something about their pricing, maybe they can!

      I’ve said it elsewhere too but Emily Eavis said a 2028 headliner was booked, to me that’s only going to be someone the size of Oasis or Taylor Swift

      2027 Headliners

      It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
