Would gladly watch him stomp around with Aubameyang in his back pocket for 90 mins as the Pyramid headliner ⚒️

The fee alone would be worthy of that goal on a screen for two hours as the headline act...

for Emily, just once that might be said that I know of.

And Emily assures me that when she ruled out Stevie Wonder he wasn't in the frame to play.

However ... the wife was saying to me the other day that Emily didn't actually rule Madge out, but instead used more vague words. I haven't checked that tho.

.... used more vogue words. I haven't checked that tho.

She ruled her out. Don’t clutch straws. We know it’s eiter Strokes or Gaga.

I definitely did not read that as "Vogue words" and definitely did not take that as an incredibly subtle clue to get excited about

Where did the £5m fee rumour come from again?

from the same source that macca came from.

Radiohead are the anti-blokey band if anything, surely? 

Unless of course this was about the band literally containing males but the gender representation thing has been done to death.

Oh yeah, I'm not suggesting Radiohead are blokey in any way, in comparison to the original post of Stormzy - Strokes - Cure I suppose Radiohead and The Cure can cancel each other out in the anti-blokey band category.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But fool me thrice?

Haha - twice at festivals where I've tagged along with friends who are massive fans, and then another time they supported the Arctic Monkeys at Finsbury Park, have never knowingly purchased tickets to see them.

everyone that was in uni and attending indie discos from 2002-2007, yeah.

Everyone attending indie discos 2007-present too. Albeit that’s likely not as many people now.

I agree - it was quite good to have on in the background at Bestival is the best I can offer

If you listen to Radio X (I can't get 6 in the car), they've never been away!

(Re: Tame Impala)

It took a while for them to click with me. With AM at Fins park was weak. Since then they've developed serious meat live. Last couple of times the light show has been spectacular, and is a real key part of their set (See: Mad cool).

Surely that puts the kibosh on things? I mean taking a paycut to play the festival is one thing, and I know a lot of artists do as a one off, but this would be a cut of 80-90%. Would she agree to that?

I've never really paid much attention to them to be honest, never seen them live, never knowingly listened to any of their stuff.

I quite enjoyed them at Mad Cool. Knew nothing about them previously so pleasently surprised.

I'll keep clutching at straws. I'd never pay to see her but I'd definitely turn up to see her at Glastonbury and I would imagine that Madonna would drive a hard bargain but she is a savvy businesswoman and if they pointed out the uptake in music and ticket sales following a Glastonbury performance she might be convinced. 

Emily may not have been lying at the time as negotiations could have stalled. Also. would back up whoever was saying that the person they had approached didn't usually do festivals.

Probably one of the most listened to stations among Glasto fans. And 6 Music probably have a Strokes hit on now and then.

But as you know, it’s not about what people who go to Glasto know, it’s about impressing those coworkers who don’t care about Glastonbury or music or anything really.

Any clear reasons it couldn't be Roger Waters?  His 'Us+Them' tour has recently finished, he hasn't played for 17 years, and his political stance fits.

I get your point but it wouldn't rule it out....the band would be well rehearsed, all the rig would be ready to go....

One can hope but I very much doubt it.

It may also be GF's last chance as I'm pretty certain Roger suggested Us+Them may be his last outing.....

They’ll have all gone back to their normal jobs I reckon. Waters doesn’t really muck about with odd shows outside of tours does he? And he doesn’t seem to be doing anything so it’s a big deal to start up the machine for just a Glasto show.

Very much expecting to be watching part of The Cure and off to WHs Sunday now.

she ruled her out in her talk in Taunton along with Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin in October time but Did say she would like to book her.... is it not possible that at the point they thought they were sorted and things have happened since,  maybe involving Madonna ?

Very slim chance, I doubt she would be booked as second choice to Macca. You book Madonna or you don’t...
