And thus killed any interest I ever had in seeing them again. Man that Reading set was bad. 

You’re not wrong. I only saw it ‘cause Jane’s Addiction bailed at the last minute.

You could move PSB opposite Billie and then stick bands in the JP and up in the Park and everyone would be happy. Something like:

• Pyramid - Billie
• Other - PSB
• Holts - Isley Bros
• Park - Manics
• JP - Fontaines DC

I’m really not digging that Manics / Fontaines clash 😡

I love the strokes but julians unbothered nature seems to grate on me when they play live. Some acts can do the moody frontman really well - but Julian really gives off the impression he doesn’t want to be on stage.

Saw them at Bilbao bbk, left me cold and I own a few of their albums, others seemed to be enjoying.

Haven't noticed anyone really saying that, but it'd be a crazy point to try and make anyway. He's spoken glowingly about how much he loved doing Bestival a few years back.

He said onstage at Bestival that he doesn’t usually like doing festivals, but Rob Da Bank convinced him to play and he’s glad that he did.

Did Julian not headline JP one year from memory? Or maybe even subbed it below Ash(?)

Yeah, he didn’t headline but was great and very lively (intoxicated?) climbing the stage, talking about the tea bus and playing the Christmas song/throwing in a few Strokes songs.

Thats maybe Elton John out then... (edited again - although maybe not if he is continuing his US tour in 2022. Sorry, as you were! 😄)

That’s his 2021 dates - surely he’ll be fine by next year? I’m assuming the reason he didn’t reschedule everything to next year is because everything is already booked up.

That's his 2021 tour, says he still intends to do the dates starting 2022 so still on for glasto? 

[cdm22]

Yeah, amended the post after noticing that 🙂 Sorry all.

Amazing. That'll be 5 years between buying a ticket and the gig actually taking place.  

Someone call Norris McWhirter

I read it as putting him in play for 2023.

Oh for fuck's sake Reg!

Depending on when he actually plays these gigs it's going to be five fucking years since booking the tickets!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not seen the rest of the dates but my tickets have shifted to June 2023......so  er, at least he's in the vicinity then.

My work colleague bought tickets and then couldn’t go to the first rearranged dates so sold them but will not be paid until after the gig goes ahead!!! Now onto 2023!! Madness

I got an email saying my November date is taking place in April 2023.

I know right, so annoying! Tbh I’m exploring getting a refund tbh and going to see him in Hyde Park. Half a decade between booking the tickets and the gig is pushing it a bit and could do with the money back!

[SwedgeAntilles]

Hmm, yeah that's an interesting one. If he's not signed up already for next year I wonder if the UK leg of the tour being pushed to 2023 would mean he'll postpone Glastonbury until then too.

Mine is two days after my son's third birthday.

He hadn't even been conceived when I bought the tickets.

Can't imagine him canning his stadium run and BST next year so I'd imagine Glastonbury is still pretty safe.

P.S. please do not do this as he was a weird crypto-fascist

If it wasn't for the fact that Mrs J is desperate to see him again I would cancel and take my chances on GF.

Think of it as participation in an extended public performance piece - the longest retirement from touring in musical history.

Haven’t Kiss been playing “last ever shows” for about two decades now?

[CaledonianGonzo]

But there was a good chance that Reg actually did mean it and circumstances keep thwarting him,  like a piano-bashing Mr Bean.

I went to Status Quo's farewell tour in 1984.
