Is there any good reason to think Kendrick is locked in outside of his appearance at a festival in Italy a few days before? 

Yeah like three people have good intel its him.

Mr Roskilde said ages ago that Kenny wasn't available to them when they were booking their lineup. I think it's probably logical to assume Lamar was umming and arring over touring - Glasto held out, others did not. 

I'm curious to know when other festivals moved away from Kendrick given that we had Neil saying that it was him and Macca as far back as October.

I suppose the likes of Roskilde needed to make booking and announcements quickly to shift tickets, whereas Glastonbury didn't.

Did roskilde not announce yesterday at least a decent portion of the lineup? Probs only a week before glasto does

Yeah but they wouldn't have been booked yesterday.

But that's the thing tho, Roskilde had also been sold out for a while now, so you would have thought they could afford to wait too

I think it’s pretty safe now to say that Kendrick probably intended to just do Glasto as a one off and wasn’t that interested in the rest of Europe.

He’s the Sunday headliner this year and at the moment looks like he has one one extra date a day or so before. Maybe he’s flying in. Doing Italy, Glasto, then flying out.

Maybe they got someone a bit cheaper then. Handy profit if it's already sold out and they're not risking damaging the brand in any way.

Still a bit disappointing considering their original 2020 lineup, and how they were making a big deal of it being the 50th too

But it breaks all the rules! Glasto acts need 63748 tour dates with the weekend off to be done right!! 🙄

• Spread the chips on a large non-stick baking tray and toss with the olive oil and celery salt. Lie them flat in a single layer – use two trays rather than overcrowd one. Roast for 45-50 mins, turning now and then. When cooked they should be golden brown and crisp with a light fluffy centre. Scatter on sea salt to serve.

  Just an idea for that chip on your shoulder

Someone say olive oil?

[Gilgamesh69]

So obviously it's hard to just ignore such an important part of his career, but if Macca had never been a Beatle, do we reckon he still would have headlined at some point?

All academic but nah. Maybe a Legend Slot.

I mean, if he was never a Beatle, you got to think would of he had the opportunities he did that lead to him doing things with Wings and then his solo stuff.

Maybe the Williams Green stage.

Macca subbing Pierce O'Brien, what a time to be alive.

Is it not post malone they got instead? Doesn’t strike me as much cheaper if even cheaper at all

I'm not averse to a bit of alternate history, but that's such a massive "what if?" then you rapidly get into pure speculation.

If Paul hadn't been a Beatle, then would the Beatles even have been popular?

Would rock'n'roll have changed the world to the same extent?

Would Glastonbury even exist as a festival?

Without the Beatles, would Macca even have been a musician? Would he still be alive?

Is that the question? And if so, if so, who answers? Who answers?

Ahem, sorry. Carried away there. 😄

Would any of us born after 1963 be alive if Paul did not join the Beatles? 

The butterfly effect should not be trifled with, Ashton Kutcher learned that the hard way
