British Summer Time 2018

Well, Guns n Roses are off the possibility list looking at their tour dates. Shame. I guess they must be a DL exclusive anyway.

ELO are hyping a tour announcement and given they have done a few dates in various locations over the past 2 years I guess it could be them after all. Ending this revival where it all started. Shame Petty is gone, I was sure someone would be treated to Handle With Care on the tour with some original Wilburys.

Thinking with resurgence of Eminem, he could easily play here. It would be as underwhelming as pretty much everything else announced so far. 

I'm not sure they will let Eminem play at Hyde Park. They tried to get him before in 2014 but they wouldn't let him play the ground (something to do with his controversial lyrics and Hyde Park being something to do with they Royal Family so deemed unsuitable?) so he did his own Wembley shows instead.

I suppose that makes some sort of sense, kind of. 

Nevertheless, these headliners are getting worse and worse for BST.

If Clapton stuck to his hits and played a greatest hits set, he'd be laughing home. Just feel his sideline excursions into his blues favourites won't hold the crowd. 

Nah course they will. It's essentially what the day has been curated for. Steve Winwood and Gary Clark Jr. will have already kicked out a bunch of blues favourites themselves.

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
