I await enlightenment. I don't know what it means but sounds suitably derogatory for me to like it already.

Are all the Etihad gigs sold out now? Would their promoters stop them from playing anywhere in England even if they'd sold all their tickets. Seems an odd one.

They didn't headline Coachella the second time.

Pretty sure there was a couple of scandinavian fests they weren't on last too either.

Haha well that's me corrected then :-)

If true then it makes a mockery to the suggestion they won'the play Glastonbury doe to the £££. It just would not make sense for them 2 play 2nd on the bill in Norway but not headline Glastonbury.

The Stone Roses are never ever going to sub anyone ever. They either headline their own shows or headline what ever festival they play.

They also said no to supporting New Order as well. Off the top of my head here but I can't actually remember them subbing or supporting anyone.

I don't think Ian Brown's attitude has changed really though Stu. It is John Squire who is the one full of shit, as seen by his artwork regarding the Roses reforming.

Taylor Swift is opening up next year 

[brettredmayne]

The Adele media circus will probably be in full flow from tomorrow I guess.

Next few days she will be in every paper

This Stone Roses issue is possibly the longest running moot point so far this year.

And last year too if I remember correctly....

I'm dreading Wednesday at the thought of Adele been announced

Why?

The major problem is that it never ends up being secret, because the name of the band playing that slot always leaks before the festival. You could have someone on bigger than they've had, but they could never have a headliner size act doing it. Putting Stone Roses on at that time in the morning would be more dangerous than Pulp and Radiohead in the Park, and it would be more crazy than having Adele on in an earlier slot on the Pyramid. The whole festival would turn up at 11am at a stage that can't handle anywhere near that many people.

And not to mention the fact that Emily said in the 6music interview that they were done with those "secret" slots for 2016...in so many words that is...

BRIT awards.

There's a suspicion that Adele could be announced for Glastonbury via something there, from Emily saying the next announcement would be in a couple of weeks.

You had some info leaning towards that didn't you unless I've made that up in my head

I've had no info about that, other than what Emily said in public as far as I can recall.

Thank you, I thought the next announcement was March but I'll stand by my bed and await a possible announcement on Wednesday

It's only a guess that an announcement might be made at the Brits, I think.

Think you may have said you heard Adele was next announcement and I've added the Brit awards thing in my head
