Lol I knew Macca was being lined up for 2020 despite being told it wasn't happening on here. Can anyone sort me a contact for a ticket please!

absolutely everything points to Macca being a more-recent addition to the acts they've been trying to get for next year unless Emily has been telling a lot of porkies lately.

Delighted by this!

Speak to your mate who told you he was being lined up for 2020.

So Paul's pipes then. Most people who've seen him recently don't seem to be concerned, so is all this his voice is knackered stuff the long shadow of a dodgy turn at the Olympics or are there wider legitimate concerns?

I'll be watching him anyway but am curious to know what people think?

[jparx]

So do we reckon Macca was being chased all summer, then? Or were they chasing someone else, that fell through, and they've recently gone for Macca?

Ringo playing in Florida on the Friday and Sunday so sadly it is very unlikely he'll be joining him for a guest appearance!

Michael and Paul have mentioned it in the last few months though and they did chase him for last year. Is it possible he's always been on the list but they just weren't that confident of pulling it off?

I was persuaded to miss McCartney in 2004, my friend insisted we see Ocean Colour Scene instead, about time I rectified that error in judgement.

everything does seem to suggest that, otherwise I'd have thought he'd have been an earlier signing. Maybe what he said on the radio encouraged them to go back to him?

I'm a big fan of Paul and saw him a few times in 2018. His shows are fantastic and he has such an amazing energy throughout the entire show. I agree that he's got issues with his voice so I'm a bit worried about the official broadcast of this performance but if you're there watching him it's one of the best shows you'll ever see! Kinda wish he wouldn't do these public performances due to how he never comes off well & just stick to doing his own shows instead

Fine verging on pretty fucking good 

Better than 10 years back for sure.

Is he still the man in his twenties that sung Oh Darling?

No.

But he's laid off the weed and he's sounding like a fucking good soundtrack to a Saturday night.

Do we start a poll on which Beatles song Chris Martin will join in on?

If I take everyone at their word (apart from Michael's who's word I've been warned off), then it's clear that nothing was happening with getting him booked at the beginning of September when Macca did his interview with Zoe Ball.

Which would make him a fairly recent booking, and the one who was recently still in negotiation.

[jparx]

He'll go down an absolute storm with the crowd in attendance and the broadcast audience will think his voice is gone and say it was awful. Pretty easy call this one.

Easy call where to watch it from then

At the front of the greatest stage in music.

Bring it the fuck on.

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'm still fucking buzzing

Nothing, is my opinion.

I'm saying that if Macca isn't a booking who's only just been signed and sealed, then it's suggestive that Emily, and Macca, and Nick Dewey have all told some porkies around Macca &/or who has/is being booked.

I'm saying I think Macca is the one who was recently still being negotiated, and that was because he was approached more recently (probably since that interview with Zoe Ball, which might have encouraged Glasto to go for him).

[fred quimby]

Someone was on here a while back saying put a bet on as he knew that Macca was playing. Not sure when that was

 

[Suprefan]

I think his voice will be fine if there isnt an active tour around the festival. If he is playing in norway or something a couple days prior, I would have concerns. If he only has those paris dates and then nothing else, he’ll be fine. I mean, i probably shot myself in the foot and he is going to announce a europe tour tomorrow now.

I'm only messing around but I'm gutted I didn't get a ticket in the main sale now, it's the one act I want to see on the Pyramid Stage and number one on my hitlist of acts I want to see.

[H.M.V]

Finally someone I'm excited about playing the pymild. Lots of arm waving. 

[fred quimby]

So how long before we get Paul on here saying
