Was mentioned elsewhere on here he tends to tout himself out as a negotiating tactic, maybe he got made an offer that was too good to turn down. There was also info saying he was playing BST if i recall, then it emerged he wasn't doing it, fits with the narrative that he also dropped out on Glasto.

heh, i see it as completely the opposite - he was probably never booked for BST or Glastonbury, and this gig was planned long ago, as part of a long established tour. probably drip out a couple more US west coast gigs between Vegas on the 29th, and San Jose California on the 10th.

Noel Gallagher didn't sell out Tramlines, he wouldn't headline Glastonbury.

Hey if yall wanna redraw on The Strokes then by all means but don’t start crying when you have to suffer the fucking Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Californication on the Pyramid would be something to be fair.

just to say ... my info about Macca didn't come from someone who works at one of the largest promoters, but came from one of the largest promoters.

Which only proves yet again how even the best placed sources can have it wrong (tho it's possible it was right at the time).

I mean everyone singing it. The band would be shite still hahaha

[Xeph1995]

The stones cost too much, reckon they're happy with their 1 time.

The dream would be the Stones Roses but their the headliner that never was.

Are the 1975 back in the mix now? I can’t remember if they were already ruled out

Tells you everything you need to know about them.

On a scale of combined headliner strength if it is indeed Stormzy, The Cure, The Strokes where does it rank?

I can't decide if it's as bad as 08 or worse? Tempted by worse.

[ghostdancer1]

Fleetwood Mac 4.0?

final gig of the tour in Wembley the week before. although I have a vague memory of Emily ruling them out?

They wanted to do a festival they had affinity with as they attended as children and see how they do before the leap of headlining debatably the biggest festival in the world.
