So are Fleetwood Mac lying about Glasto?

[The Nal]

and that's wrong, somehow?

For every date they announce other than Glasto, an African child starves to death.

[chrislfc]

Fair play to them for saturating the market though.

The touts won't be happy with all these dates that's for sure.

Surely anyone who wants to go and see them can get a ticket now.

[robertadams1]

MY £25 ON SUNDAY HEADLINER AT 16/1 WORTHLESS THEN ??

[Thearg]

MY £25 ON SUNDAY HEADLINER AT 16/1 WORTHLESS THEN ??

It's looking highly unlikely but I wouldn't tear it up just yet,infact I wouldn't tear it up til midnight the 28th of june

[robertadams1]

does a 5 year old schedule their tours ? dublin then dublin again 3 weeks later ?!

[Gucci Piggy]

Probably weren't expecting them to sell so well so are now just booking dates whenever/wherever possible while they're here.

[Mardy]

were I in fleetwood mac, I'd be absolutely fucking astonished at this sudden resurgence in their popularity.

[Wooderson]

It's a well timed reunion. Gotta hand it to them. A dearth of similar heritage groups on the circuit next year.

[Woffy]

were I in fleetwood mac, I'd be absolutely fucking astonished at this sudden resurgence in their popularity.

...and staring at my bank account online, watching the total spin ever upwards like a fucking slot machine, gut laughing with incredulity to myself that all that cash spunked away on gak has been recouped 100-fold.

[Mardy]

Yeah absolutely. But not sure if the timing was planned or just fortuitous. I suspect the latter

[ghostdancer1]

i doubt that, they sold out 2 nights at the same arena in Dublin last year easily.

[chrislfc]

They do a 2.5 hour show, always the same setlist.

Bringing Christine McVie back has been a masterstroke.

They only toured last year and she'll add about 6 songs to an already predictable (albeit great) set of greatest hits.

So basically you're paying the best part of £100 to see the same show with 6 different songs in the set.

It's all a bit mad really.

I'm going back The Dam to see them though as it's a decent venue and a brilliant city.

Would have loved to have seen how they handled the Pyramid.

What's the chances that Stevie might turn up on her own?

I don't suppose she'd be allowed in case she gets trenchfoot or something.

[guypjfreak]

stevie flying solo ....why not .......still gutte the IOW have them so im hoping glasto pull something as big outa the bag

[midnight]

For every date they announce other than Glasto, an African child starves to death.

Only one? At least ten, by the sound of it.

So really, someone posted earlier in this thread that they had booked a Glastonbury ticket just because they thought FM might be playing this particular festival, based on rumours (heh) and now feels entitled to berate the band for probably not doing so. I mean, hello? Whose fault, which planet......? Why don't they let the ticket go back into the resale pot and buy one for the FM tour instead, if this is all that matters to them? It will probably cost them less, even after writing off the booking fee. My mind boggles. I never thought I'd feel compelled to defend FM (I think there's about 2 FM songs that I actually like, and they go back to the Peter Green era) - strange days indeed.

yeah, cos it's so much better to pay a fortune to the band than it is to a tout.

[Roonwilldo]

Yeah its bizarre really. I'm all for meet and greets but charging 700 quid for the privilege is total bullshit. Last years headliner (Metallica) do it for fan club members for free. Well free after the membership fee.

They actually give something back to the fans, play fanclub exclusive gigs, meet the members and bring them on stage for Glastonbury headliner appearances!

Check out the load of old cobblers you get with Fleetwood. For 700 quid a pop.

Jesus Christ Mick, if you're taking 1400 quid from these two idiots can you at least a fake fucking smile!?

[Krazypinkminx]

Oh that's not about the money at all

[ICGenie]

Thing is, it's touts that have pushed the RRP up. Must piss you off as a performer to see people making lots of money off you for doing bugger all. And it's made them all realise what they CAN charge for their tickets.

Bloody touts. I hates them...

[Ipayne]

I can't believe they charge £800 so you can meet Mick Fleetwood when he was doing book signings for free in Waterstones a few weeks back!

[The 38 year old virgin]

Seems an appropriate time to drop this beaut.

[Scotdy]

I had to go and watch the Buckingham video after the Walkmen one. He looks absolutely off his face.

Is there anything more cringing than a "paid" meet and greet? I get shivers down my spine even thinking about it.

queuing up for hours in a book shop to get their latest novel signed is also pretty tragic....

I once met David Byrne, and it was one of the most cringe-worthy moments of my life.

No payment was necessary.
