RHCP with Frusciante?

 

Last currently booked show is on June 20th in Lyon. Depends if people think they will play more shows up to this one.

[The All Round Ball :|]

My hope for Kendrick is slowly fading away....  

[Jericode]

Why? He's in Europe and free both Sundays, which haven't been announced yet.

[The All Round Ball :|]

Just the dreaded wait for the announcement really.

Sorry but just really want to see him  

[Dales]

Kings of Leon or Foo Fighters would fit the bill and I think would sell well.

Although, they might be deemed to compete on ticket sales with Pearl Jam but saying that the older crowd that tends to go to BST days dont seem to be put off by high prices or attending multiple similar dates. BST do seem to know  how to maximise ticket sales and get big crowds in.

[eFestivals]

it won't be KoL.

[charlierc]

Yeah those web page links for Kings of Leon playing Finsbury Park on Glastonbury weekend are still up despite no official announcement.

[Dales]

Oh, i did not know about KoL at Finsbury Park.

Peeps in the wireless chat seem to think Kendrick could headline. Some are saying he is more likely for BST. Id rather him be at BST tbh.

Its been heavily rumoured for a while that Kendrick is playing Glastonbury and BST this summer.

What’s the deal with Pearl Jam tickets? Have the standard ones sold out? Cheapest I can find are £160 for ten club hideaway whatever that is?

If they are playing shows in Europe even as late as early August as is rumoured plus a UK date surely to be added at some point, I wouldn't be surprised to see it be them to be honest. 16 years after their three Hyde Park shows.

think they are largely sold out, Pearl Jam tickets sell very well outside of festival dates.

It's possible, he's done it before and Taylor Swift is doing it too so why not. Probably just has to be announced for Glastonbury first.

It's generally other way round. Glasto doesn't pay the price other festivals, promoters, events pay. So generally they announce later to give a show a chance to sell out.

Has been a while since their last UK dates tbf - setlist.fm says last run was a December 2016 arena tour. So I imagine there'll be one coming up, especially given the return of Frusciante. If the rumour is August, I wouldn't be surprised if that took the form of Reading/Leeds.

Maybe as Foo Fighters are touring Europe that they could be an outside shout for this. Presumably in the next 6 weeks at most there'll be announcements forthcoming.

From people who've been. How long are the headline sets. Could Pearl Jam be 2hrs+? Ta

[DomDom1984]

Aren't BST basically whatever an artist would usually do?

Yep, in most cases it's basically equivalent to an artists own show. Expect more greatest hits, though.

The exception that I experienced was Phil Collins, who cut out quite a few tracks from his standard setlist.

As others have stated, it will be the same sort of set as if it was their own show including set length.

[charlierc]

Yeah Green Day's 2017 show there was the same length as their other shows in Europe that summer and they all topped the 2hr mark.

Pearl Jam sold out

I'm not surprised, they are a big draw and with Pixies as support. Plus BST always have a decent undercard. The Cure lineup the other year really put many a festivals line up to shame.

I would certainly have bought a ticket if it did not clash with Mad Cool.

I saw Vedder last year at Firenze Rocks and he was excellent, I imagine with the full band it will be something special. I am sure it will be one of the highlights of the London concert scene this year.

[R Shah]

Kendrick confirmed!!!! Check their IG story  

[a6l6e6x]

Been holding out on PJ, quite glad it's sold out as I definitely can't afford it
