danbailey80 Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I thought a general rule is announcing a UK tour before something like Glasto so as to sell tickets. Although Paul sells out anywhere in minutes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufcok Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 It came with a handful of European dates when they announced it in 2019, for the 2020 festival. Maybe he'll honour those dates alongside it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the same effect if he is announced for Glastonbury that a tour could revolve around that date instead of showing the telltale signs he is gonna be there for the festival with gaps in a schedule.

netspy Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Funny thing, on the official Macca website, all the pages announcing the 2020 shows are still accessible but marked as "Cancelled".https://www.paulmccartney.com/live/tw-classic-festival-werchter-belgiumhttps://www.paulmccartney.com/live/groupama-stadium-lyon ... When requesting the Glastonbury 2020 page, the website returns a "403 - Forbidden" error and redirects to a holding page...https://www.paulmccartney.com/live/glastonbury-festival 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettredmayne Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 If Macca was doing UK dates I would have thought these go on sale before announced for Glastonbury , so maybe on sale Friday ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernringo Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Has there been any indication that there will be UK dates announced from him this summer? As someone without a ticket for Glasto, I'd be very keen if he was playing elsewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Macca has no problem selling tickets so doesnt matter when its announced. Exactly this. He will sell any venue out in minutes and Glastonbury is already sold out anyway. There maybe very few who won't go to hos your as they already have Glasto tickets anyway but who would go to a gig that is so close in time to Glastonbury if they are already seeing him (and it seems public knowledge he is playing now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people who have Glastonbury tickets might buy tickets for one of his solo shows if they don’t know he’s playing Glasto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeyboi135 Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Wouldnt be surprised at a first mini poster dropping. I know Macca is still a big draw, but with so much press and him and kendrick being carried over, I wonder how much impact a stand alone announcement will have compared to usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazwwe Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 If we're going by what Emily said, we'll get a headliner this week and then probably saying 'Poster next week with balance payment window' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Klein Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Sorry, I haven't been able to keep up to date lately. Is McCartney and Kendrick pretty much confirmed then? Just waiting for official announcement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is McCartney and Kendrick pretty much confirmed then? Just waiting for official announcement? Yup pretty much. 2 separate sources in the lead up to this month. Kendrick announcing a European festival. Macca touring in the US and being free for mid-late June. Then the news round up today of a lot of people saying its McCartney. They're also being both carried over from 2020 made them more likely at the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is McCartney and Kendrick pretty much confirmed then? Just waiting for official announcement? Near enough I think. Still adding a slight note of caution on Macca until he’s fully announced after the one person posted said he wasn’t playing, although we’ve since had someone else say he IS still headlining and these tour dates seem to all but confirm it. It’s easily 90%+ though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
