Kings of Leon have announced a UK arena tour with no London dates.  Presumably that means a bigger London show later in the year so maybe a BST headliner?

Has to be an outdoor gig surely. Whether that's Olympic Stadium/Park, BST, Finsbury Park or similar we'll have to see

So Phil Collins? He will be the one to sell out this year surely

As much as I dislike the guy, Genesis and Phil as an extension of that are one of my dads favourite bands of all time so I will probably get him a ticket and go along to see what he's like. He does have a few catchy songs - he could very easily win me over I fear.

you missed Wembley, at least as likely as the others you list. :)

 

That too!

Just seems a little odd to me that they're touring in February but haven't added a London date - it'll be a few months after if they did any kind of outdoor event

So, Green Day for certain...

Kings of Leon, Robbie Williams, Phil Collins, Lady Gaga and The Rolling Stones seem an apt remaining five. Pretty certain KoL will be one with those tour dates, Robbie is unlikely to pass up the chance to headline Hyde Park (and is still a huge pull), Phil is seemingly expected to be confirmed this week (though would much rather have him do a Glasto legends slot - all killer, no filler).

The other two a bit more out there; Gaga, stacked with a strong supporting bill, would likely sell well and it seems expected she will be at Pilton the month before. And with Blue and Lonesome coming November, I think it a safe bet that the Stones will play UK stadium shows next year - providing they're still able to, of course. A BST slot four years on seems like a good pay day for them, alongside Wembley, Etihad, the whole shebang.

With Gaga supposedly at Glasto I'd be surprised if she wasn't at BST.

yep, looks like it.

Only UK shows for him then do you reckon? I was hoping he would do BST with a few acts beforehand so that I didnt feel like I was just paying for him if I get tickets for the old man and I.

Not sure if they'll be the only shows. I wouldn't be hugely surprised if one or more festival appears down the line if those RAH shows sell out quickly.

Tho that's purely a guess.

  • 2 weeks later...

It feels like the next announcement for this is taking an age to come, although according to the thread from last year Green Day were announced much earlier than the first announcement last year (Take That) so that will be why it feels delayed, in terms of the actual calendar they won't be 'late' with the second announcement as long as it comes in the next two weeks or so. If it doesn't then hopefully that means the remaining acts aren't as Christmas present-friendly.

With Rancid not being announced for Download yet, but being announced for some Euro fests, I'm thinking they could sub Green Day at BST. 

Green Day / Rancid / Sum 41 / Neck Deep / Against Me! / The Story So Far / Masked Intruder / SWMRS 

I wouldn't think BST would book Rancid, probably will end up booking someone more accessible and mainstream like You Me At Six or All Time Low.

Green Day / You Me At Six / Twin Atlantic / Simple Plan / Neck Deep / Moose Blood / SWMRS / Creeper

BST didn't go for mainstream and accessible when Sabbath headlined. They went for where the real money is and booked mainly older bands, as they attract an older audience, who will be more likely to buy a ticket and spend money on over-priced alcohol in there. I don't see BST trying to go for the Kerrang/Slam Dunk audience with this, think they'll aim it at the old school Green Day fans who are in their 30's.

    • Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . . 
    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.

    • Solid list...  but i must ask?  are you excluding Lime Garden & Tomora as you didn't like them or is it that you havent listened to them? 
    • It was Brooklyn last year, and I seem to remember a Guinness tent
