I'd doubt there's much desire on either side of the deal for Kanye to return. VW could headline a smaller stage I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what he's said, they don't make cold approaches to the biggest acts as Glasto think it's a bit cheeky to ask them to play for a hugely reduced fee.

Didn't he say not long ago that he'd like to play? That coupled with the fact it's his final tour could make them likely to approach him this time around (for 2020).

And yes pendulum were INSANE, to the extent I got a black eye during their set, a first for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tevaburger Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 with McCartney (who happens to be playing a 300-person special invite show in NY's Grand Central Station tonight) ... those Initial 5 or so US dates up to June 11th worry me that they're part of a larger allotment around that time that could go on through the summer. Not a lot of major cities there... I know Glasto is as late in the month as possible in 2019 and it could be a quick US jaunt prior to, but what if he announces more dates to the 5, upon the album release this week that take him through June/early June in the US? That would be one possibility we could be writing off pretty soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be one possibility we could be writing off pretty soon At the same time, though, why only announce those random dates if there are more that are part of the same leg? I'd say it's more likely that that's the end of the leg and he'll do more later on, hence why they've not been announced yet. U.S. dates up to 11th June, over to Europe for a string of festivals, then back over to America for the rest of the tour. Also Rock Werchter have moved their dates to coincide with Glasto weekend for the second time in the last few years. The last time they did it was so they could book Foo Fighters whilst they were over for festivals. If it's for the same reason this time I could definitely see it being done for Macca (he headlined there a few years back so defo someone they'd book), if he's only back in Europe for a short amount of time.

Can’t believe he’d go to the expense of touring the US just for 5 dates, so I think either more dates will be added or it’s a warm up of sorts for something bigger elsewhere..

I don't see Macca playing Glasto next year, 100% he'd be doing 50th if he does it for me. We know they want him and he can choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year is no different to any other and he doesn't need it for anything reason other than to say I did it on this year. I really wouldn't be surprised to see him, Coldplay and whoever out of FM/Madonna doesn't do it this year...if any of them actually do play it. I think FM without Buckingham though are at their most likely now and with their age, I don't think the year matters to them. Madonna...I think would only do it for that fee on the big one.

Decent chance the dates are cut off there because he's going to be announced for Bonnaroo (June 13-16) later on. It's right in the region Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he does a bunch of U.S. fests then and then continues the tour after, so does what I said but with U.S. fests rather than European fests.

Not only that, Firefly is just after and he could easily do that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
