sorry but i'd be all over Robbie Williams playing  he'd never headline though - sub or third down

He's really not worth the effort.

[Badlands]

The younger me watched Robbie at V98 and rather enjoyed it. Actually, headlining V wouldn't be a bad shout.

possibly a bit too old for V these days. has he even done any UK festivals since Glastonbury/V all those years ago? seems like such an obvious booking for something like TITP and he's done European festivals but i don't recall him ever doing one over here

That was around his first album wasn't it? I listened to that shit loads as a youngster. Even in hindsight it's one of the better Britpop albums.

I saw him at TITP many, many moons ago.  Late-is 1990s.

He used to do a 'rock' cover of Back For Good as well. He's got some decent singles but I never listened to an album.

There's a fair chance that if Angels hadn't kicked off he wouldn't have lasted 3 albums.

I've got a vague memory of lots of airborne bog roll getting hurled in his direction.

The fat dancer from Take That should be subbing Jane McDonald on cruise ships.

[Gnomicide]

The current Mrs Gnom has been a big fan of The Robster in the past, so I've heard a lot of him. Not altogether unpleasant, his second through fourth albums have some decent tunes on them.

Like Stoke, he's a fooking joke

Bet he'd only have to have originated as far north as Congleton and you'd have been championing him from the start.

All this talk of Cheap Trick, Kraftwerk, Elton and Jethro Tull.  All I need is Supertramp, Genesis, Blue Oyster Cult and Atomic Rooster to complete my 1977 record collection!

Aside from the Williams, and I'm sorry to raise this, aren't U2 also meant to be touring in 2017? Could they be due an announcement?

I find nothing remotely enjoyable about his music. In fact I would rather watch James Blunt followed by the Lighthouse Family.

On the basis that those harpies could jeopardise the wonder that will be Diana bringing Motown soul and 70s disco funk to the masses, get tae fook!!

Sure I've seen Blue Oyster Cult announced for a European festival next year too so you could move them to the first category. Would be aight for Acoustic I suppose.

 

Just spotted Barry Gibb has been announced for Byron Bay Bluesfest so it looks like he is rejecting all advice and continuing his live singing career. Very good bet for a slot after this year. May I ask if he's much bigger than Art Garfunkel in the scheme of things?

It's not going to be Robbie Williams. His new song is arguably the worst I've ever heard

Ginger is expecting a baby according to todays Metro.

Can't see it being them

[Roger1]

Sure I read that they were reforming for some sort of anniversary. Could they play? Didn't Barry Gibb confirm Diana Ross?

It would nearly be worth it being him just to watch that utter garbage go down like the shit sandwich it is. The big finale to the song, followed by a field of people stood in silence with their arms folded.

Utter, beautiful, perfect silence. And staring. Broken by an awkward cough before 50,000 people turn away en masse to go and watch something else.

I'm not a fan of his new song.
