So are Fleetwood Mac lying about Glasto?

[Woffy]

Eavis has suggested that there's a headliner-status band that's not headlining. So I was wondering if FM might fit for that.

When / where did he say that?

A band as big as FM as non-headliner - would that be unprecedented? Struggling to think of equivalents...

NB: I get Dolly P as an artist is massive, etc, but that would be significantly different, surely?

(This issue just wont go away, will it!!)

HAHA Sunday headliner lads. Keep on keepin' on.

Are you really that convinced, Wooderson? I'm intrigued!

But why drip feed out the O2 gigs leading up to Glasto? Obviously new ones have been added as the previous ones sold out but it's just odd the order which they've appeared in.

My only thought is that they were going to do it (which is why the gap in the tour is there) but then opted to leave the door open to adding more dates to their own shows instead.

I thought almost every band did this nowadays? Announce one or two gigs at a big venue, then extend the run as each date sells out. Annoying as hell but common practice.

at the talk thing (that has its own thread) he gave the other night.

Just to clarify I was more curious about the order they had been announced.

Oki doke...missed that, will re-read...

If this happens i will get my wife to ask her mother, my mother in law, to buy you a pint.

That's the kinda gent i am.

Or TS in the legends slot..said something about the country comparison with Dolly didn't he?

Do you know what the legend slot is? Do you genuinely think Taylor bloody Swift is legend slot status?

Right ok...bit of a mumble though.

Eeeesh, this is tiring me out!

Foos - i'd put money on.

Anyone else - f*ck knows really.

[Justiceforcedave]

Until they book gigs on the Saturday and Sunday or three different headliners get confirmed....I'm not going to stop keeping my fingers crossed.

That's Zac sounding desperately hopeful. Which isn't a criticism.

If you're a massive TS fan i guess you take your TS where you can find her.

Ahem.

do calm down dear, i was referring to ME's comment I vaguely rememeber suggesting that TS could follow Dolly as a 'country' booking in that slot, as quite clearly indicated by the second half of the very post you commented

Blatantly he meant a country artist in a prominent slot, though. Taylor Swift in the legend slot would be like TDCC in the legend slot; completely nonsensical.

They're just gonna keep playing the O2 until the tickets stop selling out aren't they?

Then they'll put their feet up, watch Glastonbury on the telly and count their cash.

Makes sense to earn £1-£2 million gross instead of whatever Glastonbury can offer them regardless of any good feeling they have for the festival.

I don't think we should have liars playing Glasto. Not really keeping with the ethos of the festival.

And they've been crap since Sisterworld

if they were about the money, they'd do both.

sell out their own gigs as much as possible, then be announced in the new year for festival slots for more paydays.
