Robbie Williams

[ProperTea]

Robbie Williams has just announced a one off gig in Stoke on Trent the weekend before Glastonbury.

This must put him in the frame for a slot on the Pyramid?

I know he said he'd only headline but stranger things have happened.

On before Taylor Swift perhaps?

I think this is going to be like the Spice girls  

[Reckoner]

I think it’s a fairly safe bet that if somebody has been asking to play, then they probably haven’t been asked.

He's already played twice.

asking to play this year specifically.

Subbing Taylor would be amazing. Unfortunately I don't think it will happen

[Hugh Jass]

I’d be partial to an hour of Robbie, sadly I don’t see it happening either.

[Chubby Dude in a Tiny Car]

standing in a field covered in mud singing Angels along with a million other muddy people is one of my all time greatest ever Glastonbury moments.

but it was of its time.

the same thing in 2020?

i'm not so sure.

Ooh where's @Woffy when you need him....

Do me a favour Woff, let me know when you're gonna pick up on this one so I can make sure I've got a cuppa and a biscuit so I can sit back and enjoy it properly

But comedy aside, no thanks. Some tunes from back in the day yes, but he's just an obnoxiously oily self-parody these days. I gebuinely couldn't separate the personality from the tunes enough to enjoy it.

Robbie?? I fucking hope not. Being forced to look at this creepy shit on posters at train stations over the last couple of weeks is bad enough....

Christ on a bike that's nightmare fuel.  It's like a Jacob Rees-Mogg cosplay

Twice? 1998 and ?

[Skoo]

Have you heard his new Christmas song? If you're gonna try and cash in on the Christmas money train, at least write something half decent.

[Quark]

It gets worse the more I look at it. Carrying a copy of his own album. How very meta.

Twatwaffle.

His hugely successful Pyramid headline slot, back when he was at the peak of his powers in 2001.

That's the childcatcher

[ClementsMike]

Genuinely think it would be an awful thing on many levels. Please no.

I did think it had a weird, erm, peado vibe about it, but I didn't wanna say

I presume that wasn't the look he was going for

and his Port Value gig is being used to sell the album.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

No, just NO. I have to draw a line somewhere and he's it.

[Festival Liam]

Would be all over a Robbie greatest hits setlist like a rash, not gonna lie. He'd probably be objectively terrible live, but he's got a brilliant back catalogue and would be a great sub for the likes of Taylor.

I'd rather have Take That, more bangers.
