She's so far confirmed for 3 US dates in May/June followed by Lolla Berlin.

The gap is big, yeah, but a lot of acts do seem to split their European commitments, so its not necessarily a deal breaker yet.

Genesis?

Dont think so though would make sense in terms of it taking so long. Think they are destined for a lengthy arena tour end of the year 

[Brave Sir Robin]

My guy gave me a name for this last night but it didn't sound like it's finalised, and it's an act at present being advertised as an exclusive elsewhere. Certainly something different to the others if it comes off.

Lana Del Rey?

After suggesting it in the APE thread and being told by Neil he was a Creamfields exclusive - Deadmau5? No idea if he's actually big enough or popular enough in the UK but would definitely be different.

It would be different but I'm pretty unconvinced he's big enough to be a solo headliner for this thingamy.

Is it something being announced soon or is there a delay because of the exclusivity

From Timeout, via the APE thread: Duran Duran headlining with Gwen Stefani and Nile Rodgers & CHIC in support. July 12th.

Thought they were pushing it a bit with Duran Duran but that’s a pretty decent pair of support acts. Gonna assume this wasn’t their first choice considering Duran Duran were supposed to be an exclusive at IOW, unless it’s just the ol’ bollocks exclusive claim that often happens.

didn't someone mention something about an exclusive clause being in the way of an act they were trying to line up? I'm sure i saw something.

yes - there we go!

So I guess it wasn't (originally) bull about the ioW exclusive.

[Gilgamesh69]

Saw Roger Waters and The Cure  at Hyde Parkwith my dad in 2018. Great fun. Also saw Pet Shop Boys at Hyde Park with him last year .

Think I might get him tickets for Duran Duran too. My nan's just passed away so think it could be a nice way to cheer him up

[John L]

Duran Duran, Stefani and Chic looks good if you are into that sort of thing.

Not sure I’d be overly impressed if I was a “Durannie” who had paid out plenty to see them on IoW to now find them playing a London Day Festival 

[atomised]

Probably going to go. Strong line up 

[atomised]

Gutted though. I was going to guess on duran duran last night when the exclusive elsewhere was mentioned 

[dabber7]

Pearl Jam have cancelled the first half of their world tour due to the Coronavirus.

Just the American dates gone so far but I guess  at this stage, it'd be a bit naive to think that Europe might not suffer the same fate.

[atomised]

Naive yes but obviously not a decision they feel they can make just yet 

[Hugh Jass]

I’d be up for that DD/Chic night if it wasn’t the final of the Euros that night.

The lead singer is described as Simon LeBin in the announcement. Priceless.
