SignalConfusion Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Not sure if this has been mentioned, but aren't the Eagles touring round about that time? I know they have dates Friday and Sunday night. Saying that I can't see them headlining the Saturday.

They could always do what The Who did in 2015 and rearrange their tour dates. Sorry, I'll stop - wild thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Who were brought in as a late replacement though (iirc) and changed their schedule late on. If the Eagles were doing Glastonbury they would have contracts signed by now. I suspect they would be out of GF’s price range. Edited October 10, 2018 by henry bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Andy Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 @eFestivalsMadonna is still a rumour on the rumours page? Worth removing? Also, is Diana Ross unlikely now that Kylie is likely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is Diana Ross unlikely now that Kylie is likely? if I take them off, I'll have people mailing to say they should be there. More sensibly, while I've had info I think is correct that madge isn't playing, I don't feel it's good enough to remove her. Likewise with the kylie stuff, which is only sourced from newspapers, and while i think it's right I don't think is good enough to rule out Ross entirely.

It'll be interesting to see how many of those hardcore fans are making it to Glastonbury. There's no doubt they have a huge cult following - I still worry though that a huge number of ticket holders will react with "eh?" if they're announced. I've been chatting to a lot of people about them since the rumours came through and it's really a case of people either love them or can only name one song. There's not a lot of "casual" fans - it's all or nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't going next year due to a combination of holidays already booked and lack of funds but the possibility of The Cure being there meant going for a ticket after all. I am not missing my favourite band playing Glastonbury! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through necessity she's a complete pro at surviving; stays hydrated, carries a black hand fan at all times, finds shade like a blue-shell in Mario Kart, always prepped with high-factor suncream to preserve her pallor. I, on the other hand, can always be relied upon to burn and pass out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, it's likely that some people got tickets last time cos they thought Ed Sheeran would be there. I'd guess that plenty of them keep their tickets and go anyway, even if the act they wanted wasn't on the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
