I would love this to happen as well but I can't see it. The issues with the noise and the locals being the main reason but I think also the effect it would have on the rest of the festival. Thursday is great for going round and checking everything out. If there was music on the main stage loads of people would go to it so a lot of the smaller venues that get most their visitors on Thursday would miss out. 

Indeed, also from a crowd management perspective it would be too dangerous. Every would just descend on the Pyramid field.

Rats, good call. Forgot them from my most recent stage prediction. Secret set in the JP.

I’m still backing Flo for the secret JP set.

@Ddiamonddwhy would Tom walk out? Do you mean serge?

I mean Tom seems to believe he has spent the required time out of the spotlight to repent for his actions and is hitting the road again. So whilst it won't happen it could in the worst of all possible worlds.

When did this happen!!!?

[Matt42]

Ffs a reunited Kasabian will probably be back before they even get to establish a career independent of Tom.

As opposed to his missus, hopefully

I can tell you with 99.99% certainty that Kasabian will never play a show with Tom again.

If he's on the Glastonbury lineup, I don't even want to go to the festival. My ticket would likely be straight back in the pot. The bloke is an utter piece of shit.

Highly doubt he will be there I’m very surprised he’s playing shows already

Whether we like it or not, Glastonbury has booked performers with domestic violence convictions on several occasions.

Bez did time for strangling his girlfriend yet Happy Mondays were there on the 2020 poster.

I do appreciate that’s he’s a complete arse but would you do that for any other places booking offenders?

Why is his tour poster using meme font?

Videos of Liam did the rounds too of him slapping his current missus,  Plus lots more examples.

That's fucking awful, hate that he's clearly had no career consequences from this. What a dick

[Gnomicide]

I like the main stages being closed on the Thursday. The sheer joy of seeing some little act that would be lucky to have 50 people watch them at one of their normal shows, playing to a packed tent who are lapping up every second. It's a thing of beauty.

Thursday is the best day of the festival. Johnny Lloyd belting out Tribes tunes at Strummerville. GOAT stuff.

He’s perfectly entitled under the criminal justice system, now that he has completed his sentence and been rehabilitated to the extent the law seems necessary, to seek a living. In his case that’s writing and releasing music and performing live.

He can book gigs and release music, it’s down to individuals now whether they choose to engage with it or not.

He’s out of Kasabian, so that’s a pretty hefty career consequence. But should he have no career at all? I am really surprised he’s showing his face again so soon, can’t imagine it’s going to go down well with most people. And can’t for a minute think that Glastonbury will book him.

There had been rumours and stories around Manchester for a while that he was a wrong’un. Today’s revelations seem to confirm it.

Either Harry is a super strong sub or the headliners are Billie, Harry, Macca

The mail/daily star seems pretty confident he is doing it.
