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?

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

Chortle.

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.

You shoulda, it could've been a real moment

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

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.

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
