Once again, my dreams of T'Pau playing are just china in my hand ?

you have the option of them at plenty of retro-fests if you're really interested?

(crap fact of the day: I once had a guy work for me who's girlfriend was Carol Deckers cousin, so he said, anyway)

That would be quite something to make up! ?

and yet I have a strong suspicion that he might have been making it up.

in fairness, this was back when T'Pau were a thing, and I did meet his girlfriend and there was definitely a Decker resemblance.

I reckon that poster's made by a 50 year old bloke, sitting in his skiddies with nothing better to do. It's 25% stuff that could possibly happen plus his own fantasy line up mixed in. He's got worse taste than me. Though I am a 50 year old bloke sitting in my skiddies.

which really only underlines how difficult a job booking bands must be.

I'd programme a great line-up for the first year or two, but then I'd be stuffed for ideas - and i reckon most people would be the same.

Was she a Double (of) Decker?

 

 

I hate myself. Coat...

I'm predicting a Macca announcement today to complete the hat trick. Super Smash Bros? Check. Avengers trailer? Check. Macca headlining Glastonbury...? make it so.

Id love Alice in Chains at glasto, one can hope 

[Avalon_Fields]

Anyone really missing T'Pau can catch them in June at their 'Back to the 80's in Bali' stint, prices from £1,299 (It says Bali, but I presume it's the cruise liner moored offshore):

A Decker Double, if you will.

At a struggle to make something interesting in this thread ... what is the current thinking of which way round Paul McCartney and The Cure will be? Sat vs Sun.

Hot Chip (WH) v Macca (Pymild) clash then?

That sucks on so many levels.

No contest for me. WH is it.

Although I saw Macca last time and once (not at GF). So it's probably an easier decision for me. Plus I don't have to sit through new Macca tracks which I'm not really interested in, tbh.

I've set my heart of HC@WH, so it HAS to happen now!

Throw The Streets on the Other for added pain.

I'm seeing him on Sunday night so in theory I should have had have my fill by the time June rolls round, but I'm a sucker for a huge event on the Pyramid and Macca will certainly be that. Besides, he's Paul fucking McCartney! A fucking Beatle! Realisticaly I'm going to have plenty more opportunities to see Hot Chip in the future than Macca.

Macca headlined my first ever Glasto, after 2019 I'm not sure how many more I'll do (tickets and a growing family permitting) so if this is to be the last one for a while I like the symmetry.

Macca on the Pyramid is a no brainer, but aye it's a painful one.

Please don't put doubt in my mind.

The clash is made painful by not only being Hot Chip, but on West Holts too. Perfect band/stage combo. It's like attacking a level 100 Dragonite with a level 70 Pikachu. Pikachu would be super effective, but Dragonite is just too damn strong for it to matter.

[OddRon]

Really hoping macca and Hot Chip clash instead of Bob and Hot Chip

Joke's on me - just realised i cocked that up after writing it out a few times. I meant to say level 70 Jigglypuff.

What a FOOL!

[stuartbert two hats]

Do we have information putting Hot Chip on WH, or is that just a best guess because it worked so well last time and they're the same size?
