Beyoncé would definitely fit into that category if she hadn’t played before. T-Swizz, I’m not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't imagine T-Swiz would pose too many issues in terms of fee. Was thinking more about the likes of Madge and The Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Even tgough theyre hot properties, relative newbies / solo acts like Swizzle and Gaga will still be way cheaper than U2 or the Stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Em has said they’d love Madonna too, although with every terrible album she puts out her huge fee looks more and more unjustified. At least FM actively embrace their legacy act status and play the hits, you know you’d get your money’s worth with them.

Matt42 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I wonder if Glasto have chucked an offer towards U2 or the Rolling Stones just to see if they’d say yes. Highly doubt they’d return.... but the Who returned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can’t imagine that the 2011 crowd is similar to the current crowd. The stones worked so well and wrote itself into the history books. U2 had a much harder time with the rain so I guess there’s a storyline the BBC could spin to make it exciting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking, U2 could definitely be a goer again. I was there for that and it was the poorest U2 Gig I have been to (having seen them in 2001 and 2005 before Glastonbury). I saw them last year and it was so much better. I wasn't going to go as I had not really been into them for a long time. It was probably the best gig I have ever been to at the Manchester Arena. Used the arena perfectly. I was actually pretty shocked at how good it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Was a bit gutted, was there in '10 when they were meant to play but couldn't go in '11 (apparently my wedding was more important). One of those bands that gets lots of stick for various reasons, some fully justified some not, but they've got such a massive back catalogue of tunes. I'd be onboard.

I've genuinely never understood why he is perceived as such an arse. I know there's some questions around tax, and an ongoing spat about whether that kind of approach to charity is actually a good thing or not, but on balance what has he done that's so bad? 1 minute ago, CaledonianGonzo said: Swings and roundabouts. 2010 was Stevie's year.

Before self-titled and lemonade she was not as big of a deal as she is now. Yeah for all Beyonce is now clearly regarded as Queen of All She Touches there was a decidedly mixed reaction to her being announced as headliner particularly when she was subbing T in the Park in the same year.
