Ha, couldn’t have gone better! Some interesting guesses amongst the comedy.

Can’t help but think “Hmmmmm. Kinda. You’re warm, but not very. ?" is a clue... Frozen songs live or something?? Universal works with Disney, Universal act Demi Lovato sings some of them... Although I’d say that’s more than “slightly” leftfield (and probably not even an “act”).

Disney on ice opening the pyramid it is then ?

[Sundance]

Do we even know that the act in question is actually signed to universal? I thought @Brave Sir Robin meant that the person with the information worked for universal... If it's the latter then the act could surely be anyone as I guess someone in the business could have info from other labels. I don't know if this makes the clue more exciting or hopelessly vague haha

That is what I meant. He also says something about not getting himself or his colleagues into trouble. So likely to be a Universal act, or someone linked to Universal, but not necessarily. Clear as Worthy Farm mud!

Sia with Maddie Ziegler, Shia Lebeouf and Chris Martin dancing?

Yeah definitely sounds as though it's likely to be Universal doesn't it, but could realistically be anyone. 

Kpop could be a shout tbf - are there any Kpop acts signed to universal?

[Tommy Dickfingers]

Ozzy Osbourne has a new album out I saw before. 

[Padgey]

Could it be one of those hologram thingys that Coachella have done, they had Tupac one year.

A full production of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War Of The Worlds.

Nope. Really hope not. Let the dead be dead FFS, or just stop trying to dress it up and play a video of an old concert.

I'm not a fan in case that subtlety isn't coming across

[giantkatestacks]

When you go through the mainstream Universal roster though it is basically everyone who could possibly appear so not really any help at all.

Yeah, cover bands get stick on here but for me holograms are next level cash cowing.

If it was a festival with less options I'd be pretty pissed that some of my ticket revenue be wasted on a hologram.

 

That said, the technology used in the right circumstances can be incredible. Alas wouldn't work on a festival stage.

The show for EPIC was incomparable to anything else I've seen.

I went to that in London. It was ace. It would work in the JP tent

Yes, I’m considering using this as my standard catchphrase. Succinct, descriptive and to the point. 

And I know what I’m talking about having actually hit a shit with a fly mo.  It’s not a pretty sight.

Both Blackpink and BTS are. The former are rumoured to be touring Europe next year. Unsure when. BTS would be an insane get.

The chances of that are a million to one I’d say.
