"Super secret bands for 2016:

  • Radiohead
  • Kendrick Lamar
  • The Stone Roses
  • Beyonce

THIS IS TOP SECRET. DO NOT LET IT SLIP"

 

I was thinking more like bands from Oxford or something! By fiddling the brightness and contrast there is a few darker spots (but the could just be shadows).

I just have a really strong doubt that Michael has a sheet of paper with a casual list of the biggest bands that haven't been announced yet. I mean, why would that be what he had in his suit pocket? "Emily, i'm just off to the talk at Oxford. I've got my keys, and my wallet, but for the life of me I can't find that top secret list of unannounced bands I like to take to these things"

I think its possible that he was just remembering bands off the top of his head, glanced down and realised his mistake, though. He definitely seems like someone whose just let a secret slip out!

I think it's more the fact that he has absolutely no idea who is playing and needed a reminder just incase someone asked him

[not to be rude to Michael]

If you go back and watch from the question he's clearly doing a plug for this year's festival. It has nothing to do with the question he's asked but he gets the poster out and starts discussing the acts, Underworld, Foals, Radiohead, Disclosure, Skepta. He then returns to talking about Radiohead, having initially moved on, to throw in the bit about them needing to do it again soon. 

The mentioning in amongst the lists of confirmed acts is utterly bizarre.

Why would he need a reminder of who the secret bands are, just in case someone asked him?

Still makes very little sense for him to carry a list of unannounced bands - unless it was to remind him what not to say? In which case its failed miserably...

Next time he leans out of his car window when you ask him for a selfie he's gonna slap you, Matthew.

My Gran used to carry around a list of everyone who smited her since 1911.

Don't question the motives of the elderly.

No it's not. Because he mentions them right after he speaks about Oxford

He mentions 5 acts. 4 are playing Glastonbury, 1 are not.

It's pretty weird. 

Underworld aren't from Oxford are they, and they are the first act he mentions!

Formed in Cardiff according to Wiki.

same goes for Disclosure? I really doubt he's just talking about Oxford bands.

Foals are from Oxford.

jesus, are people even listening to what he says?

Never doubt the word of a pensioner with chin strap beard, wearing a dinner jacket and shorts.

Plus he's buddies with @Matt42 and he's never been wrong.

So I think he has approximately 4 big words in the 4 quarters of the top half of the bit of paper and if I were taking a punt the top corner says Foals....

We're actually doing this, aren't we?!!!

Brilliant!

 

Can anyone else see an imprint of Jesus on that?

    • My wife works for a music company, they have an allocation already.  They run a ballot for it early next year. 
    • This is my guess too.    2028 festival breaks the £400 barrier. 
    • Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it. 
    • Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.
