What's the situation with The Killers, we've not actually had any info at all on them have we? Only Fleetwood Mac and The Strokes with a scrap of potential info on them at the moment for the third slot?

Not heard Killers touted by anyone with contacts/'in the know' yet so not really sure where it started tbh.

I think its because they have recently announced that they'll be active, and they are eminently gettable for the festival

Why is everyone saying 'replace Macca'? Have I missed something?

Is there any evidence to suggest he was ever booked in the first place? And if so why would he pull out?

there's no evidence but there are some rumours and some suggestive facts with stuff like tour dates.

And it wouldn't really be "pulled out" I don't think, more likely to be that things didn't come together in the end for him to be able to do.

No reason to think The Cure would be doing it for free, especially with their fraught relationship with the fest.

 

I read somewhere that The Cure are happily accepting smaller fees as they want to play at fests etc that they have never played before (see their Euro dates), so money doesn't really seem to be a huge motivator. Is it officially a farewell tour, does anyone know?

Glastonbury will be a smaller fee anyway... and they’ve played it three times!

Was the pre or post Emily ruling them out?

I think it was post mate. It was the same day Space Monkeys played Manchester Academy. Just had a look and that was Sat 3rd Nov.

The same person also said Bon Jovi were playing as well.

Neil, on what basis are the Killers 'R' now? And when did you update it? Think some info completely went over my head lol

i just added them.

NME have run a story in the last 24 hours that the killers currently have the bookies odds which make them most likely - and for the money to be going on them to do that, there must be something going around.

What level does a rumour have to get to for it to be given (R) status? A media outlet to publish it? A media outlet you perceive as credible? Genuine question because there's many rumours you choose to ignore (rightly so in most cases IMO).

When Macca was ruled out I thought there was a glittering gold future in front of us where anything was possible. Could it be Gaga? Warren Ellis & The Lad Seeds? An outside bet but we know Emily digs Kung Fu Kenny? What about Beyonce coming over as a one-off? Oh my god it could be Madonna if we dream it and all chip in on the £5 mil! But no, the reality is that we're staring down the barrel of The Strokes, The Arctic Moneys, The Killers, like the last 15 years never happened. And if that's not enough for you it could be those coked up money grabbing corpses calling themselves Fleetwood Mac. Wowee.

I mean, Stormzy and Kendrick are 'a couple of blokes'...

I've mentioned Bon Jovi a few times.

It didn't go down too well.

Just a couple of good blokes who like to have a pint and watch Match Of The Day. We've got a couple of blokes this year, Emily's confirmed it, a couple of blokes down B&Q to get some wood to mend that garden fence like the missus has been nagging them to do for weeks.

There are actually only 2 blokes playing the entire festival, Stormzy is one, so we have one left to be announced

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
