Will he be choosing his own sub again though, is that now a thing?

2004 was the only time I heard of that actually happening.

I'm pretty sure it's on record that Muse picked Foals and The Stones requested Primal Scream. Also widely assumed that The Who did similar for Weller, seeing as he also cancelled a date to play, while we heard alt-J were subbing a few months before that.

All this John vs Paul talk, it's all about Big George.

Sorry for the off topic post, but does anyone know where the 2019 Possibilities (Non-Headliner) thread has gone? Wanted to post in it but can't find it, has it been deleted?

Was looking for that this morning, it was started by that absolute twerp Battleborn so was thinking maybe he removed it after his so called attention-seeking retirement from efests a week or so back.

Pretty sure you can't delete threads you started.

Really. Still a bit odd that it vanished after he supposedly did.

When someone leaves, don't all their threads go too? @eFestivals?

Speaking of the Boss, Little Steven/ Sylvio Dante is currently arguing the toss with gammon about Brexit on Twitter:

I thought that and searched for his account and it's still there, though.

Edit: Unless his account has just been blocked or something and that's caused his threads to disappear.

as special guests they were not not Bruce's....this has been mentioned so many times on here and as I've always said i doubt Bruce or anyone in his band had ever heard of Kasabian before that day...

Neil had info from somebody who should be in the know that he was still hearing McCartney and The Cure as headliners.

Reckon Weezer being announced for the Friday at Wertcher basically rules them out unfortunately

Think somebody pointed out that they often do three dates in a row so they're still in the running. Would be pretty shite if they didn't play with that London date so perfectly lined up.

Just assumed they'd be playing 3rd on Pyramid and they wouldn't be doing the pop slot on Sunday.

Having stared into the abyss as alternative, the trio of headliners currently rumoured seem very strong to me

I assumed they wouldn't be playing the Pyramid at all. Third down on Other, or at a push, sub.
