CaledonianGonzo Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 I went to see Bill Drummond in Edinburgh a few years back and he did a performance piece where he polished the shoes of the audience. That would wake up the "picnic blanket brigade" 🤣 🤣 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 A dystopian Model Village in a shipping container.....it came to Edinburgh as well. I'm not saying you could headline the Pyramid with it - but why not the Legends Slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This exactly. She played T in 2013 and I was elsewhere (watching Beady eye oops lol) but apparently she’s dog sh*t live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavily mimed and she just looked like she couldn’t be arsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Freddie Mercury is still in the band - just as a hologram. And they don't play any of the rubbish from Hot Space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderdrenched Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Why has the consensus moved to Madonna being ruled out? If she has been ruled out, and Eavis is still insistent on having two female headliners, then O-Rod's chances have probably gone up a lot. A gamble but A) has done and enjoyed the festival before B) is a huge hit C) her star is only rising with the new single last week and the second album due this year. If Billie Eilish can do it, I don't see why O-Rod can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass II Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Queen and AL would absolutely slay a headline slot and it needs to happen. Only thing that puts me off is six months of “no Freddie no Queen” discourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeph1995 Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Oh god Queen, they were bad with Freddie too. Probably thee most overrated band. Edited July 13, 2023 by Xeph1995 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelsBeard Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Can someone explain why Madonna is seemingly ruled out with her US tour starting mid-July? Playing the G a couple of weeks before kicking that off puts her in prime contention IMO *Edit - just realised the dates listed on her site are for July of this year and to be rescheduled. Has there been specific information the US tour will be Summer next year? Seems a long gap after finishing the Europe leg in December Edited July 13, 2023 by MichaelsBeard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Don't really care whether somebody considers them really Queen or whatever, the important thing is that Adam Lambert is a top showman, belting out some of the greatest songs ever written with the living members of the band and expensive stadium level production. A good time is a good time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good time is a good time. With two original members, they are as much Queen as the Stones are the Stones, or The Who are The Who… Both bands that don’t get the same level of stick for carrying on after losing members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because The Stones and The Who still have their original singers who are the focal point of the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
