Wow, with a straight face as well? What am i missing, i thought he was a rubbish run of the mill r'n'b star.

The most critically acclaimed artist of his generation and a huge commercial force. Why are you using RnB as if it's some sort of put-down?

Begone, troll guy.

Well if it is Muse when we were all expecting Kendrick....

Maybe by "damn" he was referring to the collective reaction when Muse are announced.

Then again for Rock Werchter attendees the only criteria for a good headliner seems to be that it's a rock band. They seem to want Muse to headline, in fact.

Tweet from a promoter and manager. Probably just an educated guess, but maybe he knows...?

He called IOW the best festival in the world and Blossoms' takeover of a non-league ground the most important gig of 2019. Clearly lives in Opposite Land and none of those acts are playing the festival they're named for.

Although to put Macca in he'd probably have to have some inside info or be up to date on forums such as these. Can't think he'd just pull that name out as he's not nailed onto doing any festivals next summer is he? So could be based on some info

Funnily enough I dunno if I'd discount it.

Anyone hooked into the Bobcat network to know if The Dyl is even in Europe next summer?

The Never-Ending Tour doesn’t seem to have dates beyond December. But then, I expect you know that already

He’ll just read rumours like every other bullshitter wanting to sound ITK. No reason a manager of a low-level band would know something like that.

Looking through his tweets etc, he does seem like a guy who doesn't really have a clue

1. Not a hope of Dylan headlining a major festival. Literally not a fucking hope. 

2. This lad describes IOW as "the best festival in the world".

As a Dylan fan, I'd agree... but believe it or not, last year he headlined Fuji Rock - 125,000 capacity - alongside Kendrick Lamar and NERD.

Giddings tweeted something about celebrating 50 years since Dylan's '69 IOW set.

Well both him and Emily hinted at it on live radio and I imagine that has been covered on music sites/magazines like the NME.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
