Acts Touring Around Glastonbury 2019

[FloorFiller]

11am Friday morning on the Other Stage at Glastonbury and then a full 34 hours to rest before the Manics are due on stage at Cardiff - perfect.

Dunno how likely they'd be for Glastonbury but Foxing are playing a Polish festival Glasto weekend, would quite like to see them as they've released my favourite album so far this year. Could see them early JP/Park.

Surely they won’t be doing TIMT when supporting Bon Jovi? They’ll have a greatest hits set ready to go.

Still can’t see them playing though.

I appreciate that, but to do TIMT one day and GH the next is a bit different from having a one week break, as is the case with the Bon Jovi and Cardiff dates.

Edit: having said that, given their willingness to play anywhere and with anyone, I wouldn't rule it out.

Don't make me post the Milton Keynes poster again.

 

 

Can't remember if I've mentioned this before, but I once helped out (through work) Richey's then Japanese girlfriend (a photographer IIRC), and as a way of thanks their tour manager offered to put me on the guest list for their upcoming shows. When he said they were supporting Bon Jovi and Billy Idol at Milton Keynes I politely declined. ?

Glastonbury doesn't need another Elbow set surely - and I'm a fan.

You missed the chance to see a bowl full of baffled Jovi fans. It was quite something. Billy Idol was great too, thought he'd be shit but I really enjoyed it.

Probably quite unlikely for Glastonbury but does anyone think SUM 41 could do it considering they’ve not been announced for Download and are around in June?

I wouldn't expect them but I wouldn't be shocked by them being a random mid-Other act.

When I saw the do the Holy Bible the gig was split in two - album first half then an extended encore of the hits. It’s not difficult to imagine them just doing that encore plus a couple extra to pad it out to an hour.

[Gnomicide]

An encore? The Manics? 

What fresh Hell is this?

I think if Shikari can be lower on Other and Deaf Havana then why not.

[CaledonianGonzo]

A tasty twofer, both competing to see who can wrench Blowing In The Wind into the most interesting new shape.

 

[Fingerbobs]

Well, well Neil Young back within touching distance of the farm once again. Maybe his BST support little Bobby Zimmerman could headline the acoustic - Fri night against Stormzy?

I had a little think about this and have come down firmly on the side of yes please, more Elbow at Glastonbury! Exciting times waking up to Elbow and Shakey news. 

[TheSheriff]

With Shakey touring with The Promise Of The Real as backing band can we possibly hope to get the great Lukas Nelson and The Promise Of The Real on the farm.... especially with Bradley Cooper also linked to be playing

ah, fucks sake, I'm going to get suckered into buying tickets for this Dylan/Young croakfest and then end up regretting it, ain't I?

You will only regret spending the portion of your money that goes to Bob

I saw Neil Young there a few years back (mainly because The National were co-headlining), it was enjoyable for a Hyde Park gig for a non big fan so I would only worry about Bob.

Seen Bobby D 3 times, once was phenomenal, once (with Ronnie Wood) was fuckawful, and the last, about 5 years ago was alright. It's Bob though, he gets a pass, always. The greatest artist of the 20th century.

Was that Hyde Park in ‘96? If so I saw that and do, indeed, concur. 

Was hoping to get tickets for this but have just realised I’m committed to something the following day ☹️

The awful one was about 2004ish? The Fleadh at Finsbury Park

Ah, ok. The one in ‘96 had Dylan, with Ronnie guesting (not good), The Who reuniting for the first time in years to do Quadrophenia (which is why I was there), and Eric Clapton boring the arse off those who stayed on after them.

To be fair, if we"re talking about awful Dylan gigs, we’ve got a lot of years to choose from.

That got an ‘alright" in my book. Any Dylan gig where you can identify the song before he gets to the chorus, like some nightmare twisted pop quiz hosted by Vic Reeves’ club singer, is one for the ages.
