Think they are highly likely now - their New Zealand show on the 21st June was cancelled due to logistical challenges.

They now have a gap between the 17th June (in Aus) to the 2nd July. Their 2nd July show is the one at Hyde Park.

Isn't the gap too big? Presuming they are K-based, it's either a flight here and back twice or hanging around in the UK for at least 8 days.

They could easily spend a few days in Australia and fly straight to the UK. 3 or so recovery days and then a glasto show. Highly doubt they are flying back to SK after every show.

(and I actually think most of them are US based now).

I'm thinking more the gap between Glastonbury and BST.

a week?

Yes. Act, band, crew, it's not cheap to hang around in the UK for a week. Now if there was another date between the two it would be much more likely. When do you ever see tour dates with a week between gigs in a country othere than the artist's own?

I'm not saying it's impossible, they could have a load of promotional work lined up (sounds like they may need it to shift the last BST tickets) but I think it's too big a gap. 

It's a similar thing with acts like Tenacious D who finish their tour a week before the festival, feels like they need another date adding in to make them a realistic rumour.

Even before the GSH wasn't there a rumour - or rumours - placing them in the mix anyway.

 

Not on here I don’t think. People were adamant that they were too big for anything other than a headline slot so it was seen as unlikely they were in the mix.  Not sure why that’s changed now.

Because their dates make it a real possibility that they could show up and they were originally slated to be a sub at Coachella before getting the bump up.

I’m just saying there is a chance.

- gaping GSH

- discussions previously that they are in the mix

- BST not sold out and no indication it’s an exclusive 

- agreed to sub headline Coachella (one of their biggest markets) before getting a bump up.

- would also be the first major K POP act to play glasto and I reckon the press would be all over it


I really don’t think it should be ruled out at all.

Could stick it on in the kids field?

To my ears k-pop is just 2000s bubblegum pop, file alongside Girls Aloud, with the added innovation that its in korean. 

 

Stock Aitken and Waterman must be listening to it and kicking themselves. “Why didn’t we audition for a bunch of Korean girls rather than twatting around with Sonia?!” But production line bubble gum pop has always been popular.

BLACKPINK would be an absolutely perfect booking for me. I've only heard a few of their songs but they seem like they'd be a lot of fun live and tickets to see them are very expensive, prohibitively so unless you're a massive fan (or are very rich).

For me, that's what festivals are all about in terms of music. Acts who you enjoy but, for some reason or another, haven't paid or wouldn't pay to go and see at their own concert. Get them headlining Other against Guns 'N Roses and it'll be a huge party.

EDIT: Just saw the theory that they might play after the legends slot. Rod seeing all those teenagers waiting for BLACKPINK might give him the notion he's still got it, which nobody needs.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
