@Suprefanwas the first person to say BST had Adele and he’s also said that Elton has a second BST date.

I wonder if it’s Springsteen.

Going from Macca to Reg to the Boring Employer would be a hell of a comedown.

There are people out there still in comas from his 2009 set.

I can’t say I’m super thrilled but I think if you need a replacement for Macca then the boss is probably as close as u can get.

Silvio Dante back on the Pyramid?

No Macca for TW Classic (which he was originally rumoured to play in Belgium).

I saw that earlier. There is some ambiguity in Ken’s post; when he says “There is something going on” I wonder if he means re Macca, but not at TW, or is the whole sentence about TW and nothing to do with Macca. 
 
I still think he’s a strong possibility for Glastonbury. He’s certainly upped his profile of late, many of his contemporaries are back on the road next year, can’t see him being far behind.

And yes, Springsteen’s  looking like a contender now too

Come on Neil, we need some reassurance right now. Kenny and Macca are both looking shakey…

Don't add him to the ever growing list...

Tbh I think Neil was told info that was probably kosher at the time. Glasto were probably holding spots for Kenny / Macca…. But there’s a chance that both of them haven’t taken up big G on the offer.

I think @ShakeyCrash is only going as a punter … let’s get this cleared up now …

Neil was pretty confident when he announced it here. I'd imagine his source would have told him Kenny / Macca are confirmed rather than they are holding spots (whatever that means)

I want to believe but at the moment it looks like Macca and Kendrick are doing glasto as European exclusives… which I struggle to believe. 

We have had one offs before, but it’s not a good sign once you enter that territory.

They've already got Billie as a European festival exclusive, so the other two could be possible as well. Besides, there's still some festivals that have space for Kendrick on their lineup, even if they aren't exactly the same ones as he had planned for 2020/1

[dotdash79]

I can see Macca doing a night at Anfield as a warm up. 

[Florian Saucer Attack]

i don't think it would be that odd for McCartney to only play glastonbury and then his own shows

If they got all 3 surely it would be the first time they had 3 european exclusives (2 as well probably right?)

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Dua Lipa’s playing loads of fests she ain’t European exclusive 

[Gnomicide]

If it ain't gonna be Macca, only Bruce can make me happy.

Or Neil Young.

Or Blur.

Springsteen rumored to be announcing tour dates on Thursday. 

If we lose McCartney I think they just might bump Dua up and not spend money somewhere else. If/when Elton adds that second BST date then maybe he shows up for her set as a guest on Sunday? Now we’re out a Saturday headliner with a few in the fray?

 

edit: and I dont even see Billie as an exclusive. The circumstances at hand worked out for the Glasto spot. The tour wasnt meant to have festival appearances on it anyway.

Is Springsteen official anywhere in Europe yet? Can’t see where this talk of him is coming from.

I can see Macca building a diary around Glastonbury, not so much Kenneth

Rumours that I’m going to announce my headline spot by posting a phallic run around worthy farm on my Strava are completely unfounded!

[SwedgeAntilles]

I am no longer tranquilo

Tour dates being announced soon apparently.

[AlexOvd]

I am way more concerned about Kendrick than about Paul. What if at the end we have 3 totally new headliners? 

[nikkic]

Imagine it isn’t Kendrick and Macca, and Reg does have a 2nd date at Hyde Park. 

Would blow it all wide open again. 

Oh the speculation.
