British Summer Time 2018

The reunited Bananarama with an 80's line up?

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.

According to the Pearl Jam forum they're not playing Hyde Park. Dunno if many people were considering them for this but I had them down as a possibility.

Live Nation appear to be doing ELO's tour so it's not them 

[NickisGinger]

Announcement tomorrow by the look of things!

[chemica]

Would imagine Public Service Broadcastinng will turn up at BST. No London date on their April / May tour. 

 

They've played here before too! Trying to think who they'd be good to sub for!

Yeah I reckon so.

[the wonderwhy]

Spice Girls? 

[the wonderwhy]

Its Michael Buble... 

[NickisGinger]

Don’t think there’s any point in guessing anymore...lol.

Hahaha fuck sake

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.

Roger Waters miming some of the greatest songs ever put to tape beats Eminem miming Rap God tho let’s be real.

One more act in their 70s to be announced, then.

Jeff Lynne is 69 now but will be 70 by next Summer so I wouldn't if that clue would include him. Hmm.

Santana and Gary Clark Jr are great supports, shame about the headliner

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.
