Always weird when people harp on about whether a band "feel right" for a certain day, as if people aren't booked on the basis of when they're free.

Agreed. Bollocks to that - U2 were booked to play Friday.

So what you're saying is, we need to use a magnet to find out what day Bob and the lads are actually playing?

Yeah. Not exactly rocket science.

I know what you're saying, but since when did common sense apply on here?

Early traffic warning for Sunday night if that's when Easy Cure are scheduled.

Got to have something to chit chat about to distract from not getting coach tickets ?

To be fair, last time they headlined it was also a Sunday.

[tomainley]

Has anyone considered the possibility of the Eagles playing the Saturday?

Playing Birmingham on the Friday and Liverpool Sunday - surely they are big enough

Not doing back to back dates so they won't roll on Shabbos.

Too expensive and I doubt they’ll do three in a row.

Out of curiosity when do we normally get the first announcement? 

You, my friend, need TheThingy.

If we’re now thinking Sunday for The Cure, what would that mean for Paul McCartney? Sunday seemed the obvious day for him, would he have enough time to be back for the Saturday?

Let's hope not . (Ducks with likely unpopular view)

[jyoung]

Surely Saturday wouldn't be out of the question? I imagine Belgium to UK would be doable.

Cure did 3 nights in a row at Wembley Arena in 2016 so consecutive nights not likely to be an issue.  Don't think it rules them out for Saturday.

Weren't The Killers in Italy the night before their surprise JP slot last year?  

Fri - AM/1975?

Sat - Cure

Sun - Macca

...or someone else entirely!!!

The nights that bands play doesn't really make that much of a difference, i'd expect it just depends on when they are free but the sunday night headliner may come into Michael and Emily's thinking a bit more due to that being the day the locals come in. Macca would have seemed the obvious one to appease them rather than the cure but I suppose it depends on how much they prioritise that if at all (however they've had sheeran and coldplay on sundays recently) 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If you judge it by 2013 Michael and Emily don't seem to like the locals all that much.

[Hugh Jass]

Macca is playing Wednesday night (Thursday morning our time) in the States, so even if he leaves straight after he'll be touching down here Thursday night/Friday morning. You'd think they'd grant him as much time as possible to recover and get himself fit to play.

Still reckon Macca is Sunday night tbh

They would need to be Saturday, Macca having one day and a half after getting back if he played the Saturday I can't see. Thing is we've had some controversial Saturdays acts before and while there isn't a huge following like others for Saturday.....a lot I know similarly to Bruce in 09 wouldn't have gone near either. I think The Cure will get a tv audience though and they have well known songs. I also stand by Liam playing before them. The one is makes me question is Arctics now as 3 times round on the Friday would just be samey.

I'm starting to think Arctics aren't there, there is no chance surely Macca is doing is with a day and a half rest basically...unless he just isn't doing it?, The Cure can play Saturday fine...there have been options before that raised a stir far more than they will.

[Mattymooz]

Maybe The Cure will sub Macca? Can't see them headlining with that date and they'd get a pittiful crowd on the other vs. Macca

Why doesn’t his time on a top-of-the-range private jet constitute rest? Does he fly the plane himself, singing Hey Jude all the way?
