That's a pretty obvious anagram by Axl Rosse, did he think we wouldn't work out it's him?

NIN to replace QOTSA, Kendrick and Macca.

NIN // Kenny // Macca. Please happen. Best festival ever.

Oh hello. If we're getting any news soon, I really hope it's Macca now that Kendrick is essentially TBC.

Nine Inch Nails are a European exclusive at Hellfest. They’re looking very unlikely.

Presumably it’s just a festival exclusive which is why NIN are doing Eden Project.

Metallica were a Sonisphere exclusive the year they also headlined Glastonbury, I believe.

I’m pretty sure it did but they just gave some ‘special permission at the request of the band’ or suchlike for them to play G?

Can I dream?

Yeah, too good to be true. Guess I’m making the trip to Eden.

It did. And yeah they were an exclusive there.

We ended up with Metallica being announced after the resale so no one could buy tickets to see them, and also they didn’t do the “By Request” show that they were doing at Sonisphere. I can’t remember if the eFests collective decided whether either of those things were reasons for getting around the exclusivity or not.

But still, it doesn’t mean that any exclusive claim is now bollocks. Ken19 said ages ago that the Hellfest exclusive is why NIN aren’t at Primavera this year.

Kenny a decent shout for Werchter boutique the week before?

[Chrisp1986]

So Kenny confirmation this week?

Yeah I seem to remember hearing (the rumours?) that Sonisphere had to hit a certain sales threshold before they could be announced elsewhere. I'm also pretty sure Faith No More had a similar setup when they headlined the NME at Reading a while back.

Who else is playing Werchter? That always has a stellar lineup.

He's saying it looked 'larger scale' than a headliner announcement...

Maybe is a poster annoncement instead 😂

[incident]

From what I remember about the Metallica / Sonisphere exclusive thing, Sonisphere put out a statement saying words to the effect of "Yes, they were exclusive but the opportunity for them to headline Glastonbury came up and we decided we couldn't stand in the way of that".

A bit of a bogus statement really given that we believe Metallica had already been booked to headline the Other Stage, before Sonisphere made the exclusive claim, and then got bumped up to the Pyramid.

[Neil]

the stage option w\as all about where there was a space that needed filling, glasto were hoping to have prince for Saturday pyramid, then they didn't have him, so moved Metallica to pyramid.

Glastonbury posting that LOVE sign was clearly a teaser that Kendrick was going to be announced on Valentine's Day

Site doesn't work for me bro!

Kenny’s Milano concert on the Thursday must be why he couldn’t do the Friday at Glastonbury. I was down to my very last hope for Kendrick so this is wonderful news and one hell of a booking for Glastonbury if he is indeed booked. I’m guessing it was because they were able to hold out while other festivals couldn’t. 

I agree with whoever said Simz could join him for a song on the Saturday. That would be massive for her and fantastic to watch.
