I think they are set to play Finsbury Park on July 11th, but now I'm stressed over a potential clash. 

 

Just found out they are playing NOS on that date.

Finsbury Park based on a rumour you've heard?

There's a music event taking place on that day Haringey Council revealed, but they are playing NOS on that date so I guess if they are playing a UK date glastonbury is the most likely at the moment?

The drummer apparently said something about their own UK show/s on 6 music, maybe their own gig another date? Who knows

That's true, we will have to wait and see!

Only to people obsessed with Glastonbury. To just about everyone else and especially non-UK people it's more likely to be taken as a generic reference to festivals in general.

It's like when half the forum convinced themselves that Fleetwood Mac were confirmed because Mick used the expression "muddy field" on stage a few times, as if he could only be thinking about Glastonbury when he was stood in front of 20,000 people at Madison Square Garden.

If he didn’t mean Glastonbury, where did he mean?

There's actually muddy fields located all over the world.

Most likely, Festivals generally. And even if the person answering the question was trying to infer Glastonbury specifically, why would a member of The Strokes think of it that way? It's not a festival they've played before, or shown any interest in. To them, a muddy English field is more likely to invoke memories of Leeds or Reading.

It was a very brief Music News segment. Tbh no one else seems to have heard it so I'm starting to think I made it up 😂 but yeah he was definitely on and asked one of those coy questions like "will we see you in a muddy field next summer", which is obviously referencing Glastonbury, and he waffled something about wanting to do something for their own fans instead of a big festival.

I heard it too. Don't worry, you weren't imagining it!

Are y'all really arguing over the bit of the interview that doesn't matter since his answer is the important bit...? 😂

Eh, I'd usually agree but this was Matt Everitt and 6. They talk about Glastonbury a LOT and Matt seems to ask everyone about Glastonbury. If you've ever listened to 6 and Matt before, it was incredibly clear that he was referencing Glastonbury. No reaching required at all and definitely not a Fleetwood Mac moment.

Doesn't really matter because either way he said they weren't doing it.

[Hugh Jass]

Not gonna lie, the thought of having Kendrick, Macca and The Strokes as my three headliners makes me feel a little tingly..,

[Zacko]

Would honestly be so excited for The Strokes.

Is This It was the first album I ever bought with my own money, and to this day it still fills me with this sort of beautiful nostalgia whenever I listen. 

[Nick Aldous]

Personally, I’m taking this as The Strokes are playing! Hopefully headlining other but a sub wouldn’t surprise me

[mufcok]

I can't even begin to process the thought of seeing The Strokes as well as McCartney, I may actually explode.

I just don't buy them headlining Other Stage 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Your taking The Strokes saying they're not doing a UK festival as a sign that they are?

Well... I’ll await the news of them headlining Reading on the Friday night 

[mufcok]

There was a rumour of them doing Reading & Leeds not long back wasn't there? 

[Tommy Dickfingers]

I must admit I just don’t feel their stock has dropped so much they don’t headline Pyramid either. Would have to go down as one of the best Other bookings in history? 

[Matt42]

I’l say it again for those who are confused.

Yes the Strokes stock has dropped.

Yes they aren’t really a UK festival headliner.

But they don’t accept anything below headline slot and they only accept their full fee.

Yes they are too small to headline Glastonbury.

But they won’t accept anything lower than headline. Which is why most of their festival dates are now mid-sized / larger festivals with four or five dates.

So yes they are touring around Glastonbury but I highly doubt they are going to be there. Especially playing below headline. It’s a catch 22 that Glasto unfortunately falls a bit foul of.
