Please don't. I didn't get a ticket this year.

Listening to this for the first time in......many years. Still an amazing bit of late 80s nonsense

Any reason it hasn’t been officially announced given that the hint was so obvious?

I imagine they're letting it simmer for a bit and they will announce it officially later today/tomorrow. Similar deal to the Radiohead thing.

Maybe it's just Stella arsing about on his phone.

Must get tickets ? (or at least a few twixes).

Certainly benefits macca to do it that way. Thousands of retweets and comments etc on his own post before getting a second wind with the official announcement

[FakeEmpire]

It's a great booking.   I suspect the % of the audience who were there last time will be quite small so I don't think it's a lazy repeat booking.

I saw him in 2015 on his tour and absolutely loved it.   Would love to see him at Glastonbury as would some of our party who couldn't stretch to pay for tickets to his own gigs.

That's me Saturday night in the naughty corner

 

 

saw him last time he played,  and last time I checked the Beatles haven't done anything new. I know he did a song about dancing .... less said about that the better.

Elton John was the dream, but Paul McCartney will do nicely.

If it's Kendrick and Taylor the other two nights, I'm open to be somewhere else when he plays rather than three nights at the Pyramid, but I'd definitely be missing something by not being there.

I'm still torn as to whether Hey Jude is the ultimate in fun singalongs, or the ultimate in middle class people pretending to be upper middle class.

Get over yourself man, it's an absolute corker of a sing along.

So glad that Rihanna and Kanye discovered and promoted this guy with FourFiveSeconds. Probably wouldnt have made it this far without them...

[Quark]

Wouldn't go down a class route, but there's definitely a question over whether it's the most over-done singalong in the world

Fast forward to June and Quark smashed in a field giving it 110% na na na na

[rubick]

Going to be mad skills to get his face mown into the grass in front of the Pyramid.

Haha, yeah it is. No doubt about it. But it's also the most poncy, posturing of a sing along as well, imo.

So does this rule out the bootleg Beatles? 

[dotdash79]

Most of the press are running with the story so it looks like it checks out.

Sorry lad, not every song can be Ace Of Spades.

I mean. Why wouldnt they? There's not much else it could be.

Great booking for the big 50th bash!

Torn as it will undoubtedly be a moment but I saw him in 2003 at Kings Dock and can’t believe even Glastonbury crowd could top his home crowd singalong! So will be looking for an alternative to watch with probably a handful of others.

The Rutles played just before him in the Acoustic in 2004. Repeat of that please.

ok so the bit im not understanding is that Emily stated that there were going to be no announcements before Christmas and we've found out since that it was more than likely MCCartney that was the one in negotiations ..... why has he announced now and not waited until after Christmas ? could he just not have held off or been asked to based on what Emily had said ?

Sure she said until the new year but anyway I think he may have jumped the gun because it's just been signed. Good news though cos means he is excited to be there and not just pick up the cheque. 

[SERRIDGER]

I'm just waiting for people to start moaning that another Scouser has got a ticket.

yes because we haven't had anything from the festival .... you can imagine them running around getting as much together as they can for an announcement ...  but im sure he could have held off ... like a Kid at Christmas I guess
