Would be nice to have him in a big stage with the sun I had a conversation last night with someone who might have an idea of his movements, and they seemed like he wouldn't play unless he was headlining a stage. He has been selling out arenas by the dozen and a big stadium in Scotland, which is well beyond the touring schedules of your usual other stage sub/3rd. I suspect it's probably unlikely, but if he was taking a lower slot anywhere, Glastonbury would seem like a good place for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he's nailed on for a T'Other stage slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I know virtually nothing about Gerry Cinnamon and couldn’t name a single song of his. I have seen he’s a very big deal at the moment though. How big of a slot will he get if he’s booked? Weren’t people expecting him to headline TRNSMT? Other sub?

priest17 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 If Glastonbury was slightly more to the north he'd be a shoe in for Other headline, his stock drops the further you get from Scotland though.

Tommy101 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 With ref to The Strokes; What we know: They are playing multiple slots at European Festivals this year They said on Radio 6 that they weren't playing UK festival and doing their own show Glastonbury don't pay as much as other festivals What we think: They are (still) in it for the bucks before anything else They (might) have egos that mean they usually only accept headline slot (although this maybe related to the fees) They are unlikely to ever play Glastonbury because of the reduced payday Is there a bit of contradiction here? If they are only in it for the bucks, why would they not play Glastonbury if it fits into their schedule. Sure it won't be as profitable as a full paycheck elsewhere but they'd make money and get exposure(?); if they are that financially ruthless wouldn't it be more profitable than a night off? If they are going to play 1 big show in the UK why are they not taking that approach with the rest of Europe? Surely these cost a lot more than festival appearances to put on (the infrastructure and logistics alone, and you'd normally expect a higher production level) and there would be significant economies of scale. Why would they take one approach with UK and a seemingly conflicting one with European festivals? For a band that seem so cut and dry about the business rather than the art, either the festival circuit or exclusive shows seem to make the most sense, not a combination of both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a band that seem so cut and dry about the business rather than the art, either the festival circuit or exclusive shows seem to make the most sense, not a combination of both. A lot of very valid points. Should also be remembered that their mercenary approach to live shows over the last few years has been when they have had no new music to plug. Every show has been most, if not all, of Is This It plus the big singles from the other albums. If they have a new album to plug them they may well be open to more and lower paying shows.

Doug85 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Just to mention (if it hasn't been already): Alicia Keys dates have a Glaso sized hole in them, could see her doing a similar set as Mary j Blige, Janet Jackson etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
