rhubarb Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 For my two pence worth i am going to Say Emily will be going back on her promise of 2 female headliners, Madonna just hasn't worked out and the American Superstar she couldn't turn down is Eminem Friday - Dua Lipa Saturday - Foo Fighters Sunday - Eminem Coldplay to play a 'secret' set and headline 2025 along with Rhianna and Taylor Swift Pulp, smashing pumpkins, Wet Leg - to be either subs or Other Stage Headliners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the time of my life watching Brandon and the lads that night. According to my friends. Sadly, I got totally off my box in the SEC all night afterwards and have no memory of it whatsoever.

All those acts generally put on an epic show, it's just devoid of that one off glasto moment magic (e.g. elton, stevie wonder, rolling stones) when it's already happened 3+ times before.

Usually they do a few one-off shows in years after the main tour (a la 2011, 2014, 2017/18) so I presume they'll do a couple of shows here & there. I'd be up for a by-request date like SBE 2017 before they did Reading/Leeds that year (though am aware it would probably be at least £125 a ticket).

AM will probably be on break for a bit tbf. Though even then it's doubtful they'd be back to the farm so soon. But yeah AM & Muse are on 3 each and Killers twice, so I can see why you'd want more. Even if Werchter just merrily book them all the time. In fairness Coldplay have headlined it 4 times so I guess that's why I'd find that a bit "Seen it before". I'm not the biggest Coldplay fan so I presume others will be more on it than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Absolution-in-full show is on the Muse fan wishlist in their fan circles. Seems like only Origin of Symmetry gets that treatment, mind.

K2SO Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 The Killers are easily in my top 5 favourite bands of all time, but they absolutely should not be headlining next year. I think that they'll be back one day, but honestly I'd say give it 15 years, and return for a nostalgia set. That being said, get them on a secret set again, playing lesser known tracks? Sign me the f**k up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I need to see them live again though Aye, they could definitely double up to forty and cover a lot of bases. Famously one of the handful of fans who thinks Battle Born has some very robust material. You go back and look at the title track as a show closer in live footage, and you can only assume - as Flowers has mentioned before - that much of the material there falls into the category he is embarrassed about. (Think he's on record stating he doesn't like Here With Me and a few others from that era, so I imagine the title track is one too, given its grandiosity.) I dug a lot of the lesser-spotted Imploding the Mirage material. My God, with Weyes Blood, absolutely blows Dying Breed out of the water. 10 hours ago, swillis89 said: It is 100% not them, but rumours are that the 2024 tour is a Hot Fuss 20th anniversary tour Oh, really?

JGP Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Could the unexpected American be Beyoncé? She’s just finished her hugely successful renaissance tour and would be absolutely iconic.
