We're now at the time of the year where I jump whenever my phone lights up with "New Tweet from Glastonbury Festival..."

Bloody emerging talent contest.

I feel your pain

My take on the Fleetwood Mac 'debacle', because that's what the group is at the moment; is that Lindsey quite rightly got a fair pay off but isn't completely out of the picture. He wanted to do his own thing for a few months which is completely understandable as he had just finished recording and touring effectively a Stevie-less Mac album with Christine. But Stevie Nicks was ready to tour again and he wasn't so he got ousted. 

This tour of stadiums is relatively small compared to previous years so I don't think it's as much about the money anymore, although the ticket prices are astronomical. 

Emily has said they are not playing, but is that due to their previous financial demands?

Or is that due to the break up of the band with Lindsey leaving and the uncertaintly that brings? Plus the fact that it's not a real FM without Buckingham.

Now that he's settled with them could he possibly make yet another comeback and request that they lower their normal fee and for the sake of their legacy, headline Glastonbury as a harmonious 5 piece once more?  

If Mick offered to do it at a lower fee I'm sure they'd be accepted.

Have they even been asked again since they chose the Isle Of Wight instead a few years ago?

Would still be a better night's entertainment than The Strokes.

Not for me cos I rather like The Strokes.

So do I.  However, I've also seen them live.

I saw them performing, but I wouldn't call it live, it didn't have any signs of life I recognised.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would quibble over "performing" too tbh.

Round Round wants a word.

I'll bang anyone out who says Push the Button isn't the best Sugababes song.

 

Who wants some?

We went well over 1,000 back in 2015.

Now that was a thread - the moans about Sprinty Dave, the reaction to Kanye, the Lonsdale petition, Sprinty Dave's accident, the scrabble to find another two headliners, The Who....

SuperGroup. Don't forget the SuperGroup.

For a minute there I lost myself.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Agree that Push The Button is a stone bop.

[zico martin]

Do you we know which the babes are playing then?

[metallimuse]

Agreed on Push The Button, Round Round a banger as well and I really like In The Middle ?.

Too Lost In You with Keisha’s “Baby baby BAAAAABY” middle eight? Spine tingling ?, I said it.

You’re on, but only if we’re both arrested afterwards and the reason for the fight starting is read out in court.

[eFestivals]

can you please cut the off-topic?

Thanks.

I still think Gaga is most likely. The lack of solid gossip tends to point to an overseas act, her residency finishes just before Glastonbury. I still think her June-Oct gap is going to be a European tour to replace her cancelled one. And she has an album out this year.

Tour and Glastonbury announced mid Feb, new album in the summer. That's my bet.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The idea of being off my chump with something like Telephone shaking the earth to its very foundations courtesy of the Pyramid sound system is a very pleasant one.

I agree. I think its gotta be Gaga.

Glasto as a one off makes no sense, a tour would give justification for getting a whole new show. However doesn't the residency come with some sort of restriction on other gigs, so that it retains its sense of exclusivity?

I've mentioned Bon Jovi a few times.

It didn't go down too well.

I personally think Bon Jovi would be a great booking. They have a huge back catalogue of solid singalong classics. They are ridiculously professional as a feel good live act. No, they are not to everyone's taste but they would be well suited to a late afternoon slot. It would have to be the Pyramid. Their last tour was one of the most profitable ever (yes, I read those industry lists too) so Pyramid or nothing. Cetainly a lot more fun than The Cure.

On local radio tonight they had a Glastonbury story about a major female solo artist being announced. I hadn’t heard the Janet Jackson stuff so for a few moments I was very excited for Gaga - would be epic if she was announced.

Any reasons why Glastonbury wouldn't host The Who?

Just seen they're touring in July and have their first new album for 13 years being released later this year.

I'm still hoping for Lady Gaga and RuPaul!

If nothing else, because they've done it twice, one of them very recently.

Also it doesn't help that their last performance wasn't especially well received, including apparently by the band themselves.

[twirlygirl]

Cheers, they're not my cuppa but certainly still popping up on the radar. 

As is Cher! ?
