Has Madonna been totally ruled out for some definite reason because if she's about to tour she would be someone of the right kind of stature and would help with gender balance etc. 

Yes she has been ruled out. Emily said it.

Much belatedly arriving to the party, the news Macca will be stateside makes me regret even more not being able to source a ticket in December at short notice. BST must be a long shot now too.

They have been known to be economical with the truth before. *keeps fingers crossed for Madge*

I was wondering where I'd heard it before. I thought a speeded up Peter Gunn by art of noise

Stormzy - Cure - AM has to be the most bloke-y lineup of anything ever to exist ever

I give you Reading 2009 - Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead (with Kaiser Chiefs, Prodigy and Bloc Party supporting)

re: Tame Impala, I've seen them 3 times live now and I've never not been bored to tears, despite being told many many times that they're amazing.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But fool me thrice?

for Emily, just once that might be said that I know of.

And Emily assures me that when she ruled out Stevie Wonder he wasn't in the frame to play.

However ... the wife was saying to me the other day that Emily didn't actually rule Madge out, but instead used more vague words. I haven't checked that tho.

Where did the £5m fee rumour come from again?

Radiohead are the anti-blokey band if anything, surely? 

Unless of course this was about the band literally containing males but the gender representation thing has been done to death.

Would gladly watch him stomp around with Aubameyang in his back pocket for 90 mins as the Pyramid headliner ⚒️

The fee alone would be worthy of that goal on a screen for two hours as the headline act...

She ruled her out. Don’t clutch straws. We know it’s eiter Strokes or Gaga.

I definitely did not read that as "Vogue words" and definitely did not take that as an incredibly subtle clue to get excited about

from the same source that macca came from.

Oh yeah, I'm not suggesting Radiohead are blokey in any way, in comparison to the original post of Stormzy - Strokes - Cure I suppose Radiohead and The Cure can cancel each other out in the anti-blokey band category.

Haha - twice at festivals where I've tagged along with friends who are massive fans, and then another time they supported the Arctic Monkeys at Finsbury Park, have never knowingly purchased tickets to see them.

everyone that was in uni and attending indie discos from 2002-2007, yeah.

Everyone attending indie discos 2007-present too. Albeit that’s likely not as many people now.

I agree - it was quite good to have on in the background at Bestival is the best I can offer

If you listen to Radio X (I can't get 6 in the car), they've never been away!

(Re: Tame Impala)

It took a while for them to click with me. With AM at Fins park was weak. Since then they've developed serious meat live. Last couple of times the light show has been spectacular, and is a real key part of their set (See: Mad cool).

Surely that puts the kibosh on things? I mean taking a paycut to play the festival is one thing, and I know a lot of artists do as a one off, but this would be a cut of 80-90%. Would she agree to that?
