Yeah on the arenas this year, but his run of stadium shows next summer are just one and on to the next one. He isn’t doing consecutive nights anywhere.

Not sure he could sell two nights at Hyde Park anyway after shifting 200k tickets for London this November.

Yeah I doubt it either. 

If someone is savvy on his team they’d realise Glasto is a great way to eek out more revenue, for someone who has basically played every city, venue and 3rd tier football stadium in the country.

Excuse me? 2 sold out nights at Dodger Stadium at the end of the U.S stadium run. Should be about 50,000 a night.

.

I’m talking about his UK run. He’s doing one 50k+ stadium in a city then moving on.

I mean one of his last ever UK shows closing out Glastonbury to a rapturous crowd and millions watching at home?

He’d be mad not to.

Like I said, on hold. This is gonna be the Billie Eilish thing again where it takes a minute. Im sure Ill find out if its going to get announced or not, so pray it doesnt.

Is this just calling both heads and tails?

I think he's doing the BST date to cash in for the Glastonbury date loss he'd have to take.

Right now I'm with Billie, Elton then either Macca or Monkeys depending how it goes.

Is that how you called it when Billie had those O2 shows without the last one added til it did come up?

Nope, guess that phantom ABBA must be a possibility. 

They should call it ABBArition...

Eltons rons last tour date listed is in Spain in May *2023* and also some Helsinki dates left to announce so realistically could announce dates in 2023 if not glasto next year.

I just hope that at the end of this tour he’s got enough money saved up, would hate to see him struggling for cash in his latter years.

Agreed. Have any acts that have sold out BST add a second date later on? Or, like Pearl Jam, do they just announce two in the first place? Lots of acts sell out BST without adding a second date and I expect Reg will be in that bracket, if and when he shifts all the tickets

You need to show some respect. It’s Relton Ron. Or Reg.

Just catching up with the Relton BST news. Given it’s on the Friday, I’m taking it as a positive. It shows he’s not above taking high profile slots at major festivals/events. At the same time, he’s on the road and heading in the right geographical direction on the dates in question.

I’m with @Hugh Jass - I reckon this is happening, which means we could be looking at Macca OR Taylor. I think both are possible but I don’t think Taylor would do Glastonbury without also doing other dates, and she’d announce them early. 

God, a Billie / Relton / Taylor line up could only be bettered by Billie subbing for Kendrick.

The lesson from Billie at the O2 is surely that we ignore Suprefan's info, however the hell he gets it, at our peril.

Sorry, dont kill the messenger. Somebody has to temper expectations. Would you rather have all the hype in the world thinking Elton is a lawk for months and then crushed when a second date is added out of nowhere? So then you get upset at the Eavii for somehow not sealing the deal at such an obvious thing?

IF another BST gig is to be added, what sort of timeliness would this be? From what I have seen with arenas etc., are the extra dates not added like days or even hours after the initial date goes on sale?

I'm with you. Your info on Billie was spot on when many doubted it. 

My take is that if Elton is playing BST on Friday and has a hold for BST on Saturday, then he isn't playing Glasto Saturday and he isn't playing Glasto Sunday, given he is only playing consecutive nights when staying at the same venue.

I thought he was nailed on for Glasto based on dates and locations but assuming your info comes from a similar source I think he's out the running.

[Matt42]

I am still sticking with my prediction of Billie, Macca, Taylor because it would be a dream trio. I am open to Reginald Relton Rohn as an alternative.

But what if it’s not Elton, Macca or Taylor… that would be a twist.

It'd be a cold (play) twist

That’s how it usually works around here.

100% this.  
 

Others who make sly little comments knowing that his info previously was spot on are let’s say…. Stupid.

If Elton falls through then just give it to Lizzo and let’s have a party.
