Apparently they are doing a Las Vegas residency in 2017. I have no idea if this all means anything for Glastonbury but it's something to add to the thread. Will be only Europe I guess with BST not sold out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Take That having a Las Vegas residency seems weird - they never made a dent in America did they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might take some pressure off her and make room for somebody else? I've been thinking the same. Have her on before Coldplay on Sunday would be the bbc's wet dream. This would allow the Roses to do the Saturday night. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettredmayne Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Honestly saying Adele would sub is one of the most ridiculous comments on here. Why would it take the pressure off, she would still get a massive crowd. If she does play she will headline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does headline if she plays, it'd be no surprise if she doesn't mind. It looks like info is stronger now for Muse on the Friday, a couple of people over the last few weeks having said to have heard bits too.

Hugh Jass Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 If she's scared of crowds why would she go on before its dark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 She can headline, but just wear a blindfold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Or she could headline The People's Front Room and livestream it onto the Pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 An Muppet Adele with an anamatronic skeleton that can shoot hankies into the crowd from a cannon mounted on its shoulder, voiced from offstage by the real Adele.

The Nal Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 So GnR confirmed them. Just Axl, Slash and Duff. No Adler or even Matt Sorum. And no sign of Izzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant Matt might have been the only option to actually go for, not that he is included. Although BST is closer to be, for what I'll pay for them there, I would rather it be Reading as at least i'll actually get more out of it and I'd already see the confirmed header and a proposed sub. Better not be IOW, I have doubts they'll be over here by then anyway. Provided they won't be in Bonnaroo's lineup, any gigs they may have around that time may well be done either side of that fest as to not take potential punters away from it, having a weekend break so to speak would make sense then.

mungo57 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just read the press release apparently (according to the website I was on) Izzy, Matt and Steve have expressed interest in the reunion - noone else confirmed apart from Slash, Duff and Axl.

Izzy as well. it's weird that they wouldn't be invited along, unless it's gonna be a Stones-esque situation where they each come out for one or two Appetite songs during the set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
