Taylor sold it out last time, but only after a few months. It's not sold out this time though. At least, not yet.

Macca's an arena act in this country. His last stadium shows were a decade back and he didn't pack out the venues. They ended up giving away tickets to Hampden Park.

 

Yeah this conversation seems based on things that just aren't true.

Taylor hasn't sold it out in minutes, she hasn't it out in months. There's no guarantee Macca would sell out BST.

Kendrick definitely isn't as big as Taylor or Macca in the UK, but it feels like there's imaginary, somehwat un-achievable goalposts of selling out Hyde Park instantly for him that don't seem to be present for other two?

Don't worry, its just people once again saying acts can't headline due to a new thing they've created inside their heads. 

Didn't say that at all.  And it's a discussion forum.

It's workin' twice as hard as the people you know you're better than
'Cause you need to do double what they do so you can level them

Fair enough - thanks for the clarification.

Not sure I can recall anyone saying you had to sell out BST instantly?

Okay then, "quickly". 

She hasn't sold it out at all yet, mind.

While that's true, when the only "tickets" left are the 300 quid plus hospitality ones, most people would view it as near enough that it makes no difference.

Just checked and you can only buy the terrace or ultimate bar experience tickets for Taylor now £324 or £399. All the punter tickets seem to have gone.

I would describe that as sold out.  Nobody with any sense would pay those prices

Yeah I suppose, but I guess he's just not at the forefront of people's mind without new material, it has been a few years.

Yeah possibly. Don’t get me wrong I think he is a great addition for Glastonbury even if I won’t be anywhere near it. I do also wonder if people just think BST is a bit shit, I have been twice and it’s a terrible set up and far too quiet. I can’t think of many people who would drag me back there at those prices and I guess your younger fan is probably going to struggle with a £100 ticket whereas the average fan of Springsteen for example (one of my two visits) tends to be older with far more disposable income.

Yeah this is a factor definitely, I think people would rather just see them on a tour or go to a proper festival .

    • I got in for £11.25 in the end, which was absolutely ridiculously good value, and made the queues and overselling of the venue much more tolerable! Sniping in on other people’s unwanted tickets on the day of an event might become my new hobby I think 🥳
    • Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it. 
    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
