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.

can you please cut the off-topic?

Thanks.

This will look so silly when the Sugababes are announced as headliner.

Remember how ME personally drove The Killers to the JP tent for their performance then watched them in 2017?.... It was pencilled in back then...now sealed...

The Killers are never gonna headline Glastonbury again.

Huge self-own from Eavis not going to see Chic.

Gnomicide · January 31, 2019

He made the right decision. Imagine choosing to watch Chic play their 232nd festival set of the year ahead of that Killers set.

Well that's factually incorrect ;).

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.

You think Eavis spends his summer going round other festivals?

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.

Another potential name to thrown back in the mix?

As great as that’d be, if they’re not touring then there’s no chance they’re playing. It’s a massive set they have to cart around.

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.

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

Jon Bon and the Jovis in my lovely old town of Wrexham, this will be the making of them.

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.

Bit weird seeing my home town of Chesterfield on that listing! Think Bon Jovi are a bit big for the WMC in Hasland though.

Mind you we had Happy Mondays a few weeks back... :huh:

thrillhouse188 · February 1, 2019

I for one think Mr Bovine Joni would be a great booking
