I don’t remember it being posted but just saw Interpol announced as support for the Smashing Pumpkins tour, which puts them out of Glastonbury

Don't see them coming back this year anyway but their website has the last date supporting SP being 24th June. Week before Glasto

Probably an oversight… They are definitely at Live Is Live in Antwerp on the Sunday and they’re on the posters for Smashing Pumpkins in Luxembourg on the Friday:  https://www.atelier.lu/shows/the-smashing-pumpkins-4/

Bad news for any Schlager fans planning to live long enough to see Glastonbury 2026 - Helene Fischer’s planning a massive in the-round stadium tour that will rule her out of a Pyramid slot

I think you mean hilarious news.

Nickelback for the Friday night rock slot that may or may not exist.

Suddenly my plans for Rock Werchter feel under threat.

[OllieMadd]

Nickelback would go down an absolute treat and I won’t hear any differently.

Glastonbury moment in the making and I’m 100% serious

Ooh. Maybe ‘24 will be the year it actually happens at the fest if they’re actually ramping up a live show.

A proper tour would be nice, but expecting them to just do a London residency or some bullshit like they’ve been doing in New York.

Also expecting tickets to probably price me out, or at least be more than I’m willing to pay considering I’ve already seen them a fair few times.

Be surprised if they don't hit up the Barras, their professed favourite venue on the planet.

I heard folks  on 6music raving about it and after reading more thought it's a place I should go to whilst I still had the chance. 

When to sparks year before they were at the park and even though I was nervously dosed up on immodium it totally lived up to expectations and the atmosphere was fantastic.

I've been seeing gigs there for nearly 35 years and was there again last night for CMAT and it's always the absolute best. The Glastonbury of venues.

Totally agree with that, apart from that single step up to the bar,I’ve been stumbling over that for years.

Sault would be incredible to see live on the farm. So many amazing tunes. WH seems the right fit

I had thought that an e-mail I got from The Killers saying "Pre-order Rebel Diamonds by 5pm on 27 November 2023 for tour pre-sale access" meant we might get something today. But doesn't seem like that has appeared as of yet.

[charlierc]

Meanwhile I see one of the Internet's favourite rock bands to mock is returning. I like the support act tbf - saw them open for Frank Turner in Northampton in February and was impressed - but think I'd rather see them at their own show.

Skepta co-heads with himself. Wonder what will go on last.

Confusion over Girls Aloud seating plan. Think a late decision has been made to go standing. This came out last week.

Second part there confirms seats on the floor. But then here are the plans for Manchester:

Floor blocks, but then the colour key indicates they're standing. Here's Cardiff:

Pure standing. Think it suits the modern audience.

It's nothing new and has been going on for a while now but these special named areas right down the front are f**king bullshit.
