I'd echo that. Mistakes happen, mate. Especially when dealing in whispers. Thanks for trying and putting it out there, it makes the build up so much more thrilling! You've still got a hell of a rep for advance info.

as I always make clear, I can never know with certainty until the official announcement is made.

I'm right pissed off about Coldplay being wrong, tho, as it's the first time that the checkings I do have failed me. I'll of course be reviewing those to try and find where the flaws are.

i bet you must of thought it was an odd booking to start with?

It has definitely seemed as if it has been harder to get news across the board this year. With this false news that Neil was given and a throw-a-way comment by that bloke who runs IOW (Who's name escapes me) - I am leaping to the wild conclusion we are going to get someone out of the ordinary.

Elton wouldn't even fit as he plays a lot.

Im going for someone to not even be a Rumour at the moment to do the job.

Who... I don't know!!!

Slightly, just because they'd played so recently, tho I had several very good reasons to believe it as correct.

Could it possible be misinformation? I've been peddling the theory that Coldplay was leaked as a deliberate cover for someone more sensitive. Does that strike you as plausible?

It's no impossible, but I don't think that's it.

Good news this.

If Neil is not confident of it being Blur, then I'd have a hunch it'll be someone else who could fit the 'legendary' category.

Just guesswork after that... Elton John, ELO, The Who, Fleetwood Mac despite their dismissal of the idea, Stone Roses in a one-off, Roger Waters doing The Wall, The Cure, Prince finally, Kate Bush (though that seems almost impossible), Pearl Jam (no point getting my hopes up), Madonna (no thanks).

If it's The Killers or Kings of Leon then this good news has rapidly become anything but good news

    • It would be piss-easy for a bot to manage, though.
    • I've heard that ticket sales for other events that use the same system have included the question 'are you still there?' on each window/browser you have with a place in the queue. If you don't confirm you are, it'll assume you're not and that place will drop.   I've no idea if Glasto/See will adopt this, but it would be challenging to keep on top of with many windows open.
    • People who're struggling are already priced out, so I don't think a bump in price will affect who attends. There'll still be a cross section, leaning young. I also think they'll do a soft breaking of the £400 ceiling, keeping the ticket price just below but having postage take it over. Next year the ticket itself will be over that threshold.

    • Not sure if this has been mentioned but new La Roux album out November - was meant to play in 2020 but hasn't found her way back onto a lineup. If any excuse just to hear this absolute banger on the fields next year!
