eyebrain Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Just to keep that Blur buzz going... A guy who I know through work, who works for a major UK venue, told me that Blur are coming back together. However, he told me this last autumn. That was a while ago. He said it as "rumour has it..." so I'm not sure if they even had them booked at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem in a place now where they are happy to do their own thing but get together every few years for a few shows and maybe knock an album out.

JoeyT Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 The 1975, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney. Having not read any of this thread i've no idea if there's anything to rule these out so do enlighten me if so. Is Elton to big for the Sunday afternoon slot?

Macca has by all accounts been ruled out, doesn’t look like he’s touring next year. I would say Elton is too big for that, if he plays he headlines.

Ever since I’ve been going FM have been a SR for every single Glastonbury that I can remember. I’ve seen it before where this board has considered them nailed on. I’l never consider Fm nailed until I see them on that lineup poster. Save yourself the disappointment mate I highly doubt they are going to do it.

That came direct from one of the band via a contact in the US who interviewed them (I forget who now). Not too long after I was speaking with Michael Eavis. He said 'where have you got that from? no one cares about FleetWood Mac anymore, do they?". Not long after that it was clear that plenty did.

Matt42 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 They were 100% a SR for the Sunday in 2013. also what was the year that they were heavily rumoured before being announced for IOW. Point is... every year we hit a point where we think it’s definitely them and it isn’t. I’m just trying not to fall into the same trap as before.

thewayiam Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I imagine FM know what the offer is on the table and that presuming it does go over the norm like The Stones did that the offer now is what they would need to accept. If they are saying in principle it's got to be done before they call it then they may as well do it on the big anniversary. I'd guess there is going to be a lot of artists around that want to do it too and fee wise will be open to accept not much at all for it.

mufcok Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Where does Elton John fall in the £££ category; is he likely to play for the 'normal' fee is he another Fleetwood Mac/Madonna? If it's the latter then surely there's no chance of both Elton/FM... Edited July 24, 2019 by mufcok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be a hugely prestigious show for him and one of the centrepieces of his farewell tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
