Tom Petty and the lads are doing a 40th anniversary tour, with a big ol' gap in late June.

It was pointed out in the BST thread that he, according to a Rolling Stone interview, has one European date arranged so far and that's at Hyde Park. Whether it's BST or Radio 2 Live is unknown but no Glasto.

Really? I have to go track that down pronto. Petty is one of the bucket list I thought I'd never see.

Whichever one it is they will be paying a lot of money for them to come over for one gig.

Not sure if discussed or not, thoughts on Jesus and Mary Chain? the new song is quality - UK tour ends early April... Could be a good JP slot similar to Suede the other year?

Yeah I liked the new song but don't really know much of them other than one or two songs. JP/Park headliner if they play, surely?

[thewayiam]

Is early April really close enough to say they would play?

Chain and the lads have got more bangers than you can shake a stick at

They're headlining a festival in cornwall in September though so looks like they're active all year. Guessing some dates in europe after the uk tour?

It's possible then, not sure myself where they would play.

It sounds a bit like a song that wouldn't be out of place on a Roses album. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Well...they both feature members of Primal Scream.

I've said it before, I'll say it again! He's playing the Friday here... leaves a huge weekend gap.... Thinking he might be on Mr E's list.. if no one elses!?

I'd see for Police covers.

Not sure glasto needs to be associated with anyone who's done songs about stalking and having affairs with schoolgirls. There's been enough of that already, I reckon!

If Sting is too risky a prospect to consider booking then we're fucking boned.

Fair point. How about they just don't book him anyway, because he's a crusty yellow w*nkstain on the pillowcase of popular music?

It's impossible for a human being to ejaculate when Sting is present in their sphere of consciousness in any form.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sting should come, but only to appear in his musical about Tyneside dockers, with Jimmy Nail in the lead role.

Imagine that herculean baws oot slice of wildness on yer Pyramid.

It's a long story and I hate to correct you but that is not true.

[Amy Lawn]

What a post to mark your 1500th contribution to the boards.

In response to the alleged impossibility of sexual release in the presence of Sting:

He on the other hand has no such problems. In fact he had released so much of the stuff he had enough to fill a lake at the bottom of his garden.

Wow, it is called Wilsford Cum Lake, so when you said he "released" so much "stuff" that it would fill a lake...

[Fingerbobs]

The thing is he moved. And he left that for the new owners. And who knows what he's now doing in some poor unsuspecting neighbourhood? Keep your eyes peeled folks as he might be creating a new lake somewhere near you right now. 

[Amy Lawn]

Ah for feck's sake. I only half read your post tbh and thought it was a "Sting has sold lots of records, look at his big house" post and then I was bringing the hilarious ejaculate material, turns out I was just repeating your joke. First I get in trouble with @Woffy for not reading things and now this; should I stop posting at times when RuPaul's Drag Race is commanding my full attention? NEVER!

[Fingerbobs]

Heh heh. I wish I had gone on a Pro-Sting rant now. He's released enough records to fill a lake you know. How dare you say he blocks people's pipes. Look at his lovely house etc
