You saw Blink-182? Why?

I hadn't really watched anything with my mates that year so I wanted to stick with them for the last act of the weekend. Didn't think they'd be quite as bad as they were.

The even more tragic thing is that I saw Macklemore with them before that as well ffs.

not necessarily. Madge is a different level (to just about everyone).

Wow.. that does surprise me. Knew she'd be expensive but not that expensive

Fleetwood Mac for 2020 then? 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

that Macklemore set was a lot of fun and I’ll defend it to the death.

Apart from how he had to play the same song twice to fill his time.

Had seen them three times in 12 months at that point, so couldn’t be bothered with the crush ?‍♂️

[Gucci Piggy]

Man saw Macklemore over his favourite band of all time.

not less than £5m was what I heard - and while I can't guarantee its true, its supposedly come from the mouth of someone who knows her price.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

FIve million quid and she’d almost certainly play a setlist which would end up in her being booed off. Yeah, we’re better off with Mumford and Sons.

Or an extra £37 on every ticket sold...

[Xeph1995]

I think if anyone wants that money they shouldn't book them on principal. Glasto is probably the best music festival arround, Should be happy their being asked to play. 

[jparx]

And what do G typical pay headliners? Isn't it half a mil or something along those lines? It's been mentioned before but I can't remember the quoted figure!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Apparently that’s roughly the same price Beyonce charged Coachella, so I guess we can kiss goodbye to the possibility of that particular Queen ever returning. Pity.

£5 million to hear Into The Groove on the Pyramid? 

 

You’ve got yourself a deal Mr B*stard.

Fam she's Madonna. That's like saying Lionel Messi shouldn't ask for a high wage, he should be happy that Barca want him to play for them.

Chances of a Queen return ended in 1991 mate. What is touring now isn't Queen.

not necessarily. Some acts are happy to do Glastonbury at a cheaper price, and some aren't.

[mufcok]

Didn't the Stones do it for less than a million?

5 mill, can't get my head around that

I mean its not the same but I see the comparison. Messi is a lynch pin at Barca at the moment if he isnt scoring he assits or pretty much starts the build up. Madonna isn't that for Glasto, they could book another headliner just fine and be done with it, she has a networth of 590m can you imagine the greed, she hasn't played Glastonbury before youd think shed want too? 

[dentalplan]

Can Madonna do it on a rainy Tuesday night in Stoke?

Yeah I realised it was a naff comparison as Barca need Messi and Glasto don't need Madonna. But still I don't think there's anything wrong with her not dropping her demands to play. For some people it isn't the be all and end all.

*It’s like saying Lionel Messi shouldn’t ask for five times as much as Cristiano Ronaldo, when even if you did pay what he wants he’d insist on spending 90% of the time refusing to do anything interesting.

True, and I guess the prices for the joint shows with Jay Z she did over here were fairly reasonable.

I opted for The Chems over The Who and don’t regret it, what storming set that was. Then again, I suppose The Chemical Brothers are legends in their own right.

 

Not as much a legend but still a pretty big deal, I also swerved Adele for New Order. Again, absolutely loved their set.

That was the right decision. New Order will probably never play Glastonbury again where as you will hear Adele in every shopping centre lift you step foot in.
