Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[mjsell]

I'm very intrigued by that Demon Dayz thing. Will the lineup come before tickets go on sale or after we reckon?

Also if anyone has a spare 2 minutes give the travel information section a read. Specifically the train part, its quite entertaining.

Apparently it's 15,000 

Big arena crowd size then, no more. Can't see it selling out unless the bill is truly stellar tbh...

I reckon it'll sell out on the day. Think they've grown quite a bit since they went away - plus lots of younger fans now of solo gig-going age.

Didn't they have to cancel dates on their last UK tour due to poor ticket sales?

 

[Mash011]

Well deciding if I'm going to this is going to be a ballache. Desperate to see them since I've loved them since was a kid but, god, Margate? Really? What an effort. And I'm broke since I just dropped similar amounts on Arcade Fire.

[Simpo]

Got a massive hope for Gorillaz Other Stage Sunday night now.

Got a friend trying for resale tickets who's convinced herself they're gonna be on the lineup, while I've been playing down the possibly.

It does make RDB's statement of no festivals for Gorrilaz in 2017 vaguely inaccurate

This is a question asked purely on behalf of my wife, as it would make her really happy (and probably lots of other wives too) any chance of Bruno Mars being there?

Offended.

I think they must have changed it since you posted

Why have they spelt it differently to the album title?

Probably because it's not going to be focused around the album, just some day where Gorillaz stuff is happening.  Would be really weird to do something about their 2nd album when the 4th is about to come out.

So the name Demon Dayz is not based on the album title Demon Days?

Well, yeah it's not a co-incidence, but I don't think it's anything other than a play on words about a day involving Gorillaz, with a little reference to the album, but I'd be surprised if the actual performance has a focus on that record.

[Mash011]

Enough pedantry Dental, ending things with a Z is cool.

I'm not under the pretence that it's anything more than a reference, it's just the reference is misspelled, which has flummoxed me.

It's so god damn uncool that I have a problem with it. Gorillaz is fine, it was a different time and I guess it sets them apart from actual gorillas. But I mean Demon Dayz? How much are the ticketz? SIXTY POUNDZ? F off Damon.

But you get free access to the amusement park... So swings and roundabouts.

Think we have slightly different definitions of 'free'.

Do you think they have? I love Gorillaz but Plastic Beach wasn't as big as Demon Days. I feel the next record probably won't register beyond six or seven weeks in the charts. I'd love them to, but I feel their shelf-life is close to expiry.

But then the joke wouldn't have worked would it.

Also, it sort of is free unless you think the tickets for this festival are actually being priced at £42 and then the amusement park entry fee is being added on top of that to make it £60.

See the Levellers "Beautiful Days" Festival for reference.

I see alt-J are doing a night at the O2 for the 10th birthday thing, albeit the week before. Says it's their only indoor UK show of 2017 which seems odd, must be waiting until early next year for a big tour.

The real question in all this is that how, given that pretty much every major recording artist has performed there in the last decade, the best they could get for their ten year celebration is Jamiroquai and Alt-fucking-J?
