Will the 2021 festival go ahead?

[zahidf 721]

Its possible I guess... but I have my doubts based on that. Mainly on the fact that they haven't announced it today!

Well fuck 😂

The only 'announcement' she'd be referring to is some kind of internal announcement made to bands who were lined up to perform. The fact she then sounded like they hadn't been asked makes her initial claim hard to believe. But she did sound very sure and wouldn't have a reason to blurt that out unless she'd heard something. All very odd.

Assuming it's not a guess. Maybe an internal announcement to people involved in the festival. Which does actually suggest she might have been provisionally booked....

 

Get Mel B down on as rumoured for 2022 @eFestivals

That was my thinking, maybe artists/people involved have been told. Grim

Or she has friends who were booked to play who have told her that they heard today to stand down, it doesn’t necessarily have to be that she was booked to play. 
 

I think the fact she said she’d specifically heard today is ominous

To be fair, the presenter did give her the opportunity to retract or water down her statement, but she reaffirmed it.

Fixed it

[tigger123 82]

I wonder if Emily and Michael have told Robert Peston its cancelled, maybe worth asking him

[Leyrulion 127]

Stand down everyone

As you were 

[kalifire 1,854]

I still think the decision's been made. The festival will want to control the public announcement. There's no 'news' because they're not ready to say anything publicly yet. That doesn't mean a decision hasn't been taken.

[grayfitz 77]

Big fan of how quickly Emily is jumping on these cancellation rumours at the minute.

[DareToDibble 437]

Mel B trying to justify why they haven’t been asked to play. “Uuuhhh festivals cancelled”.

Similar to me claiming I’m not shacked up with Jennifer Lawrence because “She’s not dating currently”

[thrillhouse188 179]

Now Emily has denied, what a bizarre thing to come out with on a radio interview.. for clicks perhaps? 🤔

Maybe they’re getting Boris to announce it as part of his 8pm ditherings tonight.

[PolygonWindow 10]

I knew Emily would respond within the hour.

 

what a legend.

Emily wouldn't deny it openly like that

[Gnomicide 4,809]

Well that was an exciting 10 minutes.

[SwedgeAntilles 3,137]

The writing's on the wall, even if the festival hasn't made/communicated their final decision as yet.

Mel B - "Did Glastonbury get back to you yet, on radio in a minute so would be good to give them an exclusive!"

Mel B's Manager - "About that, Mel...the thing is...I know it's a dream, but...ehm....cancelled? Yeah, they cancelled it. Just today, got word in"

Mel B - "Awwww shame, that. Oh well, least I know where I'll be next year, eh?!"

Mel B's Manager - "Sure, Mel."
