Gucci Piggy Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Slash is only playing the Eventim Apollo on his tour so he's obviously not playing that slot. He's also playing in Donny the night before apparently. Edit: Why is his entire UK tour London, Manchester, Glasgow and Doncaster what a freak.

Maybe Myles can kill two birds with one stone and hit up the Other with AB while he’s at it...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Slash seems like a 'play once and ticked off' kind of act to me. I mean, what has he added to his setlist since 2010 other than a bunch of his (I assume) mediocre solo stuff? Also Alter Bridge are terrible so the more we can keep them away from the festival the better (not that they ever would be booked mind).

Should have done - Doncaster, Rochdale, Accrington & Hebden Bridge. The lancashire Hotpots do it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be in the frame for headlining the bloody thing, not the 1975. Could you imagine a massive conga across the pyramid field to finish off Saturday night? Carnage. Beautiful carnage.

Odessa Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Alter Bridge's last record was gash and I've never heard their debut, but the stuff in between is all at least pretty good. Blackbird is a great album. And when I saw them live his voice was absolutely incredible. Unfortunately I had to see Volbeat in between Gojira and AB though, and they're a solid contender for the worst band I've ever seen. Best metal band this century is obviously Avenged tho.

phillyfaddle Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 A bit late to post this I know, but at Reading festival my son got chatting to the daughter of one of The Cure's guitarists (they were camping next to each other in Orange). She said that The Cure have been booked to play Glastonbury 2019. Looks like a confirmation of a rumour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Yeah, I dunno if that's quite solid enough to make it a done deal. It's more than we've had on anyone else, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I love The Cure but them headlining Glastonbury in 2019 just doesn’t seem right to me and I highly doubt it’ll happen. I know they sold out BST but that was with an amazing undercard and was probably the same fans who go to see them every time they tour. It’d be a huge ‘Huh? Who? Why?’ from a hell of a lot of people I imagine, and surely after two years away there are tons more acts higher up the Eavis’ lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odessa Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Yeah if anyone's not familiar with The Cure then that's their problem. Can't believe people think Stormzy could do it but they shouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
