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 ? 

Maybe she didn't think they'd have him signed up before Christmas, and she knew the other two are definitely embargoed until the New Year?

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

 

and fuck what a scouser he is

Saw him last fall and he puts on one hell of a show. He is in his seventies for heaven's sake but goes non-stop for 2 hours. Takes a fake encore (most likely has to dash to the loo, he is in his seventies) Comes back and does another hour. And man his touring band is tight.

so therefore no harm in him doing his own thing in terms of announcements ... so we might have 2 headliners announced by early jan

Looks like the official Glastonbury Instagram account has liked his Instagram post.

Best night ever in 2004. I am comforting myself with the fact I saw that one. Enjoy.

Capitalise on the Xmas streaming market I reckon.

oh yes ... that makes sense ... probably why he wanted the negotiations done and dusted too

Now that it's finally confirmed, what do people think his setlist would be? His most recent gigs has been promoting his last album, but remove that stuff that likely no one wants and you get a set of rather good proportions.

That encore starting with Birthday and ending with The End is pretty banging, mainly because I personally think the second side of Abbey Road is one of the best album enders ever recorded.

Sooner you announce the harder it is for them to pull out.

Wolf Alice and Supergrass will have to ask their respective mums and dads to play under their name to keep this up.
