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?

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 :)

Capitalise on the Xmas streaming market I reckon.

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.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
