There’s a number of stages they could play - I’d quite like to see them have an afternoon Pyramid slot - from what I’ve seen they have no problems winning over large audiences. I'd like to see them headline The Park, that'd be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught PSB over the summer and my spine has still to uncringe from the onstage stylings of Virgil Q. Wigglygoose and Tarquin Pifflington Esquire.

Erasure was the first concert I went to, Hammersmith Odeon, still got my red ribbon, bingo ticket and pen. And who can forget Abbaesque? Cowboys album was where I dropped off, saw them on tour somewhere in Birmingham then and it was awful. Would love to see them and/or PSB on the farm, having never seen PSB. Saw them at Manchester Apollo with the erasure bingo . Night linford Christie won gold at Barcelona Olympics. Because Andy announced it . They did something ridiculous like 20 nights at the Apollo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 From memory Vince and Andy deployed a 5 song sequence that went Who Needs Love Like That, Blue Savannah, Drama! and Stop! that also included a cover of Atomic. Dunno what to tell you if your top is still on at the end of that lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Not even sure why people are getting so het up when 2 of the 3 headliners and the legend slot already have likely candidates in the frame and there are a whole host of other candidates like Lana del Rey and Bon Iver giving into view.

Little Andy Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 3rd headliner inklings, in order of likelihood : 1. Taylor Swift : Some random music promoter guy with no reason to trust him says it's her. And eFestivals guesses it could be a non-UK act. 2. Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar : eFestivals guesses it could be a non-UK act. 3. The 1975 : Apparently have been offered to play the festival. But to headline? And instead of Leeds and Reading? And eFestivals guesses it could be a non-UK act. 4. Stormzy : Tweeted about Glastonbury, but only has 1 album. And eFestivals guesses it could be a non-UK act.

CaledonianGonzo Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 With the best will in the world, you should probably also be taking tour dates that have already been announced into consideration. On that basis Gaga is way more likely than Taylor Swift or Kenny D given that neither of them have given any indication that they're active next year.

henry bear Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Haven’t seen it yet, hopefully this week. Fella who plays Brian has totally nailed it from what I’ve seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Everyone is rightly giving it up for Rami Malek but yer Brian guy has also totally fucking got him to a tee. I dunno if I'd advise watching it sober or if you don't like Queen in the first place, but otherwise it's a hoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun and enjoyable yes, but contrived and a bit superficial imho. Not sure why the felt the need to fabricate some much stuff either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
