i just added them.

NME have run a story in the last 24 hours that the killers currently have the bookies odds which make them most likely - and for the money to be going on them to do that, there must be something going around.

What level does a rumour have to get to for it to be given (R) status? A media outlet to publish it? A media outlet you perceive as credible? Genuine question because there's many rumours you choose to ignore (rightly so in most cases IMO).

Thanks mate - whats your verdict? i have a feeling it could be them.

I think they're quite possible, given their secret set last time.

That's not me putting my money on them tho.

you heard anything re fleetwood mac?

nope.

When Macca was ruled out I thought there was a glittering gold future in front of us where anything was possible. Could it be Gaga? Warren Ellis & The Lad Seeds? An outside bet but we know Emily digs Kung Fu Kenny? What about Beyonce coming over as a one-off? Oh my god it could be Madonna if we dream it and all chip in on the £5 mil! But no, the reality is that we're staring down the barrel of The Strokes, The Arctic Moneys, The Killers, like the last 15 years never happened. And if that's not enough for you it could be those coked up money grabbing corpses calling themselves Fleetwood Mac. Wowee.

I think it was post mate. It was the same day Space Monkeys played Manchester Academy. Just had a look and that was Sat 3rd Nov.

The same person also said Bon Jovi were playing as well.

 

I've mentioned Bon Jovi a few times.

It didn't go down too well.

Just a couple of good blokes who like to have a pint and watch Match Of The Day. We've got a couple of blokes this year, Emily's confirmed it, a couple of blokes down B&Q to get some wood to mend that garden fence like the missus has been nagging them to do for weeks.

[Amy Lawn]

A couple of blokes. "Milk, two sugars, please" they say. And they could tell you some stories what it was like round here in the 70s.

Bon Jovi was my first ever gig in 1995. I'll be honest here, I loved it and would be at the Pyramid with bells on if they were playing lol

There are actually only 2 blokes playing the entire festival, Stormzy is one, so we have one left to be announced

We went well over 1,000 back in 2015.

Now that was a thread - the moans about Sprinty Dave, the reaction to Kanye, the Lonsdale petition, Sprinty Dave's accident, the scrabble to find another two headliners, The Who....

Why would anyone want to see Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey Buckingham?

I highly doubt they'll take the reduced fee given that they settled Buckingham's lawsuit out of court. That must have hurt!  If they refused once before I'm sure they would refuse more so now.

it is another pay day they wouldn't have tho - and a chance to sell their back catalogue.

Given that band is one huge soap opera it wouldn't be a massive surprise if they agreed to it just to spite him.

But didn't they play Isle of Wight over Glasto because of the money?  Was that just a rumour (lol) - that they were offended by Glasto's fee?

Because it's better than never seeing them at all.

It's reaching the stage with some of our favourite bands where we can't afford to be too picky in terms of lineup.

Fair enough. I wrote that on the assumption that any FM fan would have seen them by now and that Glasto would simply be a special moment.

I don't really have one. There's a lot of could be's but not really any likelies.

I've managed to miss them every time they've toured in recent years. Twice I've had tickets but been unable to go. I've got tickets for Wembley but would much prefer to see them at Glasto instead.

I had similar issues initially with the Sugababes. Then had two versions to pick from.
