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.

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
