The London show is his only Epic 5.0 show in Europe this summer. I'd reckon hes unlikely to appear without that show 

I didn't realise the London show was so exclusive (have just bought tickets for it though).

I think I'm over keen for conversation to be generated about a few fresh names!

Anyone mentioned Simple Minds yet? Doing an acoustic tour in May and June in the UK. Playing acoustic "reworkings" of their hits. I've never heard Simple Minds acoustic!

So, John Peel tent?

An accoustic tour you say? If only we had some sort of stage or tent for that sort of thing...

BBC Introducing?

The extra London date Robbie Williams was expected to announce has failed to materialise meaning he still hangs over us like a smelly turd

An extra Manchester date has been put up for sale.

Obviously this is bad news but it keeps alive the prospect of Erasure playing some part of my weekend which would please me greatly

That's the great thing about the RW tour.  Any bad vibes about his availability are automatically cancelled out by the same availability of the boys.

But, ultimately, f*ck it.  Even Robbie and his ego can't take over all the stages at the same time, which makes him avoidable.

I'm not sure that much has changed on this.

The 2nd Manchester date shows that as expected the tour was planned with extra shows in mind. As does the fact that (like in Manchester) the initial London date was scheduled for a Friday rather than the traditionally easier to sell Saturday.

They'll have put the 2nd Manchester show on sale because initial ticket sales justify it - even if London sells really badly (currently all ticket types are showing as available on seetickets) and the 2nd show doesn't end up happening the people planning his schedule will still have assumed that he's unavailable so the only way he plays Glastonbury is if the Festival comes calling at some point in the future after they decide to call off the show. So as a late replacement for someone else.

Warpaint touring next March in the U.K. Likely to be doing Glasto I'd assume. 

Just been announced for NOS Alive so they will be in Europe quite close to Glastonbury

Good stuff! I have no real gauge of their popularity. Are they Park headliners or bigger than that?

Possibly Park headliners, but no bigger. They were 2nd from top at Green Man last year, usually their headliners a Park or WH headline sized. Their tours don't sell out. They are brilliant live though.

Bonobo have a huge tour ending in may!

Yeah I'd say 2nd from top on Park. Might struggle to pull a decent crowd as headliners.

I haven't seen them for quite a while now so hope they're booked. I'm probably going to get a ticket to see them in Oxford next year too though

Sign me up for Bonobo. New single has been on repeat this week! 

[chatty]

Temples have a new album out in March which I imagine will spur a tour, I wonder what the odds of them playing. They would make a good late afternoon band somewhere.

Aerosmith with a Glasto shaped hole in the tour dates

I reckon they're 100% about the cash though. Tickets are £80 - £100.

it's billed as their only UK show of 2017 but pretty sure there's nothing about it being their last

I think it's their only uk performance this year not last, don't know where I got that from. I havent seen them either

well i've just seen that they've announced a farewell tour with Download being their only UK date (thus far) so you may well have been right

And have been shite since they stopped taking drugs.

You're probably fishing but their live shows have improved immeasurably since they stopped taking drugs. The first 3 or 4 albums after the comeback were really good too.

Copping said it's Aerosmith last ever show on twitter, might be worth a day ticket.
