Aye could go either way that as Sheeran and the Foos etc (not to mention Adele) still played even though they had Wembley/stadium shows and others like ACDC or the Roses wouldn't do it cos they wanted the £££. Still leaves us with no clue. 

If true then at least we'll know she's active this summer, which means she's in contention.

Yeah certainly is enough to include her in the discussion, suppose it just depends if her asking price is too much.

Whats the general feeling on Madge in terms of interest?

Personally I couldn't think of anyone worse but am I in the minority?  

I wouldn't pay the huge prices she charges for her own gigs but I would definitely see her at Glastonbury. She's the god damn queen of pop!

A trio of Stormzy - Madge - Cure suddenly looks much better.

Only a handful of big artists remaining yet to appear on that stage. She’s near the top of that small list. If she fancies it, can rinse the field.

I'd love to see Madge there but she may have priced herself out. Would assume she would do a hits based set rather than her usual new stuff she has been doing recently.

I seen her for free at Murrayfield in 2012(?) when the promoter cocked up by releasing a link for competition winners to everyone. I snapped up 3 free tickets and drove up to Edinburgh for a free gig. She was great to be fair to her but she did play a lot of new stuff (at that time) and a lot of her hits were all mashed up or little snippets. If she did a full hits based set she would go down a storm.

I'd be delighted. An absolute bucketful of great tunes and a nicely evolved career that never really stood still. A true pop icon for me.

My housemate declined my invitation to join our Glastonbury crew. He'll be crying into his cornflakes with Vogue on repeat if she gets announced

I wonder if Emily's "oh we've got a couple of lads" was phrased that way because a couple of the three headlines are male acts, but the other is female. It would only really make sense to phrase it like that if the female act was HUGE....like Madonna sized huge. But I can't keep up as to a) if we think whoever the third act is is replacing Maca or if he was near booked all along and b) when Emily made the "couple of lads comments". If it was way before she said Madonna wasn't booked then it doesn't make sense....does it? Fuck knows, my brain hurts.

Personally, although I have no great love for Madonna, I would 100% go and see her. Probably wouldn't see the Cure, and definitely wouldn't see the Strokes. Even writing it feels wrong though. Like she's too big or some shit (and ruled out by Emily, or not, I can't remember and like I said, my brain hurts)

Based on the fact that this thread now has a tendency to be dominated by a different specific artist each day, can I suggest that the first poster of the day start their post like Jesse from The Fast Show.by saying "Today I will mainly be speculating about "enter artist of choice"

Why are you so obsessed with The Cure not headlining? Bare weird.

Not meaning to sound weird, just personally not a big fan of them and IMO it's an uninspiring headline booking. The same with The Strokes (if it does end up being those). Of course the usual caveat applies that it doesn't matter too much regardless, as there's always other options to choose from. Incidently it's also my best mates Glasto debut this year, and it would have been great for him to see a Pyramid headline act for one of the nights (we have similar music tastes).

I couldn't think of a better booking.

Genuine legend, with a huge back catalogue, who I've never seen live and never will unless she plays the festival. For me that's the best type of headliner, if it's someone I'd actually pay to see then I'd rather go to their own show.

This! And a booking I can 100% get on board with - can't word that any better myself!

I've seen Madonna on the MDNA and Rebel Heart tour. Granted, she does do about 30% new songs on her headline tours, she curates the setlist in a way where you never feel bored. Her stage show/production is second to none and she almost always breaks out at least a couple rare tracks. Below is the setlist from her most recent (2015-2016) tour...

  1. "Iconic"
  2. "Bitch I'm Madonna"
  3. "Burning Up"
  4. "Holy Water" (contains excerpts from "Vogue")
  5. "Devil Pray"
  6. "Messiah" (video interlude)
  7. "Body Shop"
  8. "True Blue"
  9. "Deeper and Deeper"
  10. "HeartBreakCity" (contains excerpts from "Love Don't Live Here Anymore")
  11. "Like a Virgin" (contains elements of "Heartbeat" and "Erotica")
  12. "S.E.X." (video interlude) (contains elements of "Justify My Love")
  13. "Living for Love"
  14. "La Isla Bonita"
  15. "Dress You Up" / "Into the Groove" / "Lucky Star" / "Dress You Up" (Reprise)
  16. "Who's That Girl"
  17. "Rebel Heart"
  18. "Illuminati" (video interlude)
  19. "Music" (contains elements of "Give It 2 Me")
  20. "Candy Shop"
  21. "Material Girl"
  22. "La Vie en rose"
  23. "Unapologetic Bitch"
Encore
  1. "Holiday" (contains elements of "Take Me to the Mardi Gras")

    • 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.
