AC/DC Says Lars

[BonScott]

I may be wrong, but I though Alberts was just a publishing company.

Who's promoting the tour? They might have more influence over what happens than the actual band management, in the way that Michael Cohl used to have over the Stones.

in which case Live Nation are pulling some (if not all) of the strings for the tour - which makes sense with them doing Wembley too.

[CaledonianGonzo]

DF are just Dance Factory, the local Glasgow bods. A quick sniff round the CAA site suggests it might be a bloke called Rob Light who's calling the shots.

I'm betting he wasn't at the farm last year.

who are owned by Live Nation.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ah..so they are. Was forgetting.

and having read a few snippets from that link, it looks like he works hand in hand with Live Nation. He has the bands, they have the infrastructure for those bands.

[FuzzyDunlop]

there's no reason to think Prince is any more interested this year than last year, and reasons to think why he wouldn't be.

Fair point.

And after asking that question I thought 'you already said there are "some bands it's almost impossible to get info on" - it could be any'

I actually did very well with the Prince stuff last year - to the extent that someo0ne exceedingly well connected was telling me Prince was signed and sealed for Glasto, and I knew he was wrong (it's the only time I've rejected info from that source).

All well and good crowing about last year Neil... Now find out some info about this year!!

(Please and thank you.)

Maybe Neil could change his name to Matt and make something up?

A lady who I work with best friend is one of a handful of people who work for Glastonbury all round and as far as sources go I've only ever got a nod as to when the announcement is coming than any artists playing.

It is like trying to get blood out of a stone though so Neil's effort each year is commendable with regards to info regarding artists playing.

and the Matt's will inherit the earth................ except this one cos he is too busy dancing.

I'd heard that Depeche Mode were lined up to play last year, I was still surprised that didn't come off. And you'd heard something similar, am I right, Neil?

Yeah, tho I'd also heard it was out of the possibilities by the time of the previous Glastonbury, because Gahan didn't want to continue touring that far into the year.

In the news article i published mentioning them, I said something about "we're hearing whispers that it might not now happen".

[Gucci Piggy]

Another reason why I find it unlikely to be AC/DC is their type of show

At Glasto it would have to be a very stripped down show, which is not their style

The pyramid would just not be able to accommodate an exploding train, a giant bell, cannons, a giant inflatable woman etc, it would just be guitars, amps, drums, and a mic, which would mean the millions on tv would not get to see the REAL AC/DC

An AC/DC stage show with its gimmicks and special effects is the most spectacular music show on the planet

If you're so convinced they wouldn't play Glastonbury, why did you buy a ticket purely to see them?

[hurdy]

Can you imagine if it was just guitars, amps, drums and a mic? What kind of gig is that? It's unimaginable!

Covering my bases because at the time they were bookies favourites

I also have a ticket for Glasgow on the Sunday of Glasto, if they do Glasto I will 100% go to Glasto, and sell the Glasgow ticket, am seeing them in London anyways

I don't think they will do Glasto atm but it's good to know I am sorted if they do

I might still do Glasto if they are not, depends on the rest of the line up

If it was Foo Fighters, Muse, Taylor Swift for example I wont

If it was anyone and AC/DC I WILL

If it was say Royal Blood, Prince (or Bowie) and Elton John I will be there

[Gucci Piggy]

Don't think Royal Blood will headline tbh

prepare to sell your ticket chum, it'll be florence and the machine, foo fighters and lionel ritchie

[russycarps]

what about Prince?

He's gonna pull out at the last minute, paving the way for ritchie to save glastonbury.

Stevie Ritchie?

Shane Ward?
