CeriG Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Jess Glynne has been ban for life from IOW Festival for life, for not tuning up for her slot. Have a read below. Band for life seems a bit extreme to me. What's your thoughts? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/isle-of-wight-festival-boss-hits-out-at-jess-glynnes-shocking-no-show-as-its-claimed-she-was-out-partying-until-7am-with-the-spice-girls/ar-AAD32cQ?ocid=spartandhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) If most people didn’t turn up for their jobs because they’d been on the piss the night before there would be consequences. Edited June 18, 2019 by Hugh Jass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemosabe Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 TBF if any performer doesn't turn up to something they're being paid for, due to being hungover, and the booker knows (whether that be childrens parties, comedy nights down the local pub or headlining Glastonbury) they're not going to be booked again. As an aside and not really relevant, if I remember correctly, was Frank Turner not banned from Glastonbury for awhile? What was the story behind that?

CeriG Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I understand banning her.... but for Life does seem very harsh IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livvy13 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) It's not the first time she's pulled out of performing there though. She also pulled out of her performance in 2015 although admittedly that was with a bit more notice than this time.

cdm22 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I wouldn't have thought the IOW festival will be around for much longer anyway so I doubt it will make much of a difference to her. Edited June 18, 2019 by cdm22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if she's still relevant in 5 years or so, so it isn't as bad as it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
