Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

I'd reckon so.  She's already in the Rock Hall of Fame, but it's another way to add yourself to the canon.   I'm sure she's noticed that the royalty cheque isn't quite what it once was and she'll have tickets to flog.

To be honest, a bigger way for her to do that nowadays on a global scale is to go to Coachella where she has popped up several times before, play a world beating headline set, get millions for it and get a chopper home afterwards.

Or do both in the same summer if the tour is running, the band are ready and the show is choreographed.

True, if it was going to happen it should have done during her Guy Ritchie/pretending to be British phase.

The optimist's way, yeah. But then she doesn't have to take a pittance in Pilton for what would be the lesser talked of event.

Our appalling media would just be going on about how she's 'too old' anyway. I remember that being the overriding theme when she stacked it at the Brits a few years back.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though mind she lives in Lisbon now. The G is the more local of the two.  And she's been dealing with the British media all her life. I cant imagine that would be a consideration.

That coincided with Peak Indie Glastonbury though, with Noel Gallagher standing with his flaming sword like the Archangel Michael ready to smite down any act that wasn't Travis.

That poster gives the impression that there are more dates and someone has just slapped a picture of them in a car over them.

Anymore info? What venues do people think she'll be playing?

But isn't she supposed to be awful live these days anyway?

Arenas. Manchester was teasing a Bond related announcement, which is presumably her. 

[Gilgamesh69]

Tickets on sale Friday. £45+. Apparently it's all seated though...

~£35 after fees for standing tickets at the Apollo for Interpol which is fair enough. Dunno what the fuck is going on with the London prices, was worried this was gonna be crazy too. All over that.

Very rarely does she mime. I think that was proven at the Brits when she went flying off in that cape & her voice stopped.

She is the biggest booking they could make & if she delivered the right set she could knock it out of the park 100%. Of course, it could also be a car crash of edm remixes & 60 year old tits.

I think it would just remind me of how uncool I was at school when Black Sunday came out and I was the only kid without a sock hat

Haha i think you'll find that it was all your school mates that weren't cool

I look forward to Glastonbury's reaction to "I drive my Mini Cooper and I'm feeling super-dooper"

[Gilgamesh69]

Oh, the David Byrne concert at the O2 Arena is all seated. That's lame.

[TomViolence]

Allo. Does anyone want a free ticket to Jay Som at Oslo (Hackney) tonight. Got it on DICE so just need your mobile number to send it to you. Need to know by 4pm

Big tour from the people's champion. £10 for Nottingham, Manchester and Brighton while £12.50 for London which is an absolute bargain.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Googled "Madonna Glastonbury" on a whim and found this.

They were trying to book her 18 years ago.

And a weird wee fragment. They  supposedly:

turned down Whitney Houston’s offer to play

why?

Islington Mother pop act, i reckon.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Probably because around the turn of the millennium it was way more of an  NME-approved Lammofest.  I'm about the last person to put on The Bodyguard OST, but if she was offering to play at a price that was right then she'd have been a better booking than Reef.
