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? 

The residency restrictions are a bit unknown. People like Celine Dion had them, Britney didnt. Others have and haven't. 

Relatively speaking (compared to other residencies) Gaga doesn't actually have that many Vegas dates and she is doing other events (albeit corporate gigs).

My hunch is the Vegas residency will be like Coachella's restrictions - play no public shows in the US for a period of months. Would be surprised if the contact covers Europe too.

As her Vegas residency goes up to November, there's always the possibility the album is this autumn, and the tour and festival circuit is 2020.

I'm still here throwing my weight firmly behind the Gaga, so that all the rest of the forum will have to grovel and bow down to me as the all seeing eye who never silenced from speaking the truth, even when hope was dullest.

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.

I completely agree. Just imagine singing along to Bon Jovi then singing (droning) to The Cure. I won't be completely devastated if they're not there though, as I'm already seeing them in June. 

I like this idea of an American headliner, Gaga, Killers, whoever.

Im glad the talk has deviated back down to The Killers and Lady Gaga. Trying to give myself the lowest exoectations I can cause if I start building ny hopes uo for Fleetwood Mac and then one of the forementioned is announced then Im gonna be gutted. That said Wu Tang is a solid back up for any disappointing announcements as they come. 

How did we end up back on Madonna and Fleetwood Mac etc after ruling them out months ago.

Somebody claimed to have heard Madonna was the last headliner so it got us to momentarily get our hopes up for something better than the bloody Strokes. Things might’ve changed since that Emily interview if Macca has pulled out. And Fleetwood Mac’s tour dates fit in quite nicely so they’re always gonna be brought up until we get the announcement.

edit: oh and somebody claimed to have heard from somebody at a Fat White Family gig that the third headliner was Fleetwood.

It's a game of opinions but please God not bon jovi ?

You’re safe, looks like they’ve fallen on hard times according to Google, no chance of being headliners:

I live in Rochdale.... the Empire was a right dive when I was young. I believe it's had a paint job, but still full of people from Rochdale.

Still too good for Bon Jovi though.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.
