Headliners 2015

[Divein]

But it refers to him not going on tour? They haven't toured yet since that interview.

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that he wasn't playing live anymore and wasn't going on tour.

[Icewulf]

It does seem like a strange move to reschedule if they were both sold out. Why forgo a payday from two of your own shows to headline Glastonbury...again?

They're not forgoing a payday from two shows as they've rescheduled one of them.

And I may be wrong but I imagine the fee they get from Glastonbury is comparable to one Paris show?

[MEGABOWL]

How does 2 sold out show dates fit into 1 sho, If everyone wants their ticket?

Maybe the tickets sold for the two nights combined fit into the venue on one night.

Chortle.

[Hugh Jass]

They're not even brothers either. It's a con! Worse than The Who, misleading their fans of brother collaborative dance music

The Who are just as bad though. Two of their current lineup are very well known, the others' identity can be discovered very easily.

That's what i thought. Someone at top of page was questioning it tho, so I was trying to find the source

[Withakay]

Totally c**tish move by the band, this. I can see it now...

Husband: Darling, I'm so sorry we didn't get Glastonbury tickets. Fancy watching the Who at Hyde Park instead?

Wife: No, Hyde Park's shit.

Husband: Oh, they're playing Paris on the Sunday night as well. You've still got the Monday booked off haven't you? Fancy a long weekend?

Screwed.

True that.

But you still have a long weekend in Paris. How are you screwed?

Edit: I'm not denying it will be a massive disappointment, but Paris is awesome!

At the end of the day it really doesn't matter a tinkers toss who the final headliner is. All that matters is kicking the fucking Tories out of office on Thursday.

Damn straight. Reminds me of a site I'm spamming all over the internet this evening...

If you don't get screwed on a long weekend in Paris, uou ain't getting screwed nowhere.

Just read on the

They have the new date on the french ticketmaster... http://www.ticketmaster.fr/fr/manifestation/the-who-billet/idmanif/343124/

Tickets for this show go on sale on the 15th May...

[briddj]

This is the way it looks to me:

- The email has gone out to Fan Club members, who bought tickets direct through them (this will be a limited number for each date). They will be getting first dibs on tickets for the gig on the 30th.

- All tickets for the 28th and 29th will be cancelled.

- All non-Fan Club ticket buyers who had tickets for the 28th and 29th will enter a free-for-all for the remaining available tickets when the 30th goes on sale on May 15.

Oh boy... that's kind of sad.

On their last UK tour R.E.M. had to move a show from Cardiff Stadium, 75,000 capacity to the CIA, capacity 5,000. Very sad.

Wish I'd bought tickets, in retrospect.

No but that seems to be the general feeling. Not sure what that's based on tho

Ouch for REM. One of the greatest nights of my life seeing them at Glastonbury and my favourite band of my late teenage years.

Fantastic, i've taken this and posted it myself, thanks .

[Spindles]

Please do. The more people that see it the better, if it helps remind people how far down the plughole this country has spiralled in the last 5 years.

You shoulda, it could've been a real moment

"that's me in the corner, yeah just over there behind you, nice t-shirt"

[davidd]

Indeed,i couldn't agree more. The prospect of 5 extra years of even more swingeing cuts is terrifying.

[Spindles]

Madness, when you think about it. I met my ex-wife a week after she gave away 2 tickets to the Green tour because she'd never heard of them (she got free gig tickets from work in a pool system) and it was a decade later before I finally got to see them in what was a magnificent night for the festival. Hard to imagine them struggling to fill venues.

On a lighter note the 1989 tour starts tomorrow in Tokyo. GET IN #TEAMSWIFT
