A "festival site" or "festival source"

Ha! i don't doubt you, but that's genuinely mindblowing. Appetite for Destruction is one of those albums that even if people hate G n R, they'll know inside out. Its probably a combination of age and demographics etc etc, and the kind of people i know and hhave talked music with, but i'm astonished that KoL could've outsold GnR in the UK! Top Shop have a lot to answer for . . . 

I'm not that surprised by KOL's sales, they are/were massively mainstream popular, but was definitely surprised by how little GNR have sold.

ppl are saying stevie is out for bst and glasto..... its going to be KoL isnt it?

I know it is getting knocked around here on a rainy Thursday morning for lack of anything else to talk about.  But beyond KOL putting some old Glasto festival clips up is anyone saying they have actually heard Stevie is out for BST (and by extension Glasto?)

[RunRunRun]

Anyway yes, we have known there all day: Stevie Wonder is out

someone close to BST who has had BST info is saying hes out of BST. though not saying hes out of glasto but they said if hes out of BST hes prolly out of glasto too.

yes please.  Blur is the way to go

Stevie Wonder was always just duff information. Duff information from the same source that now has the inside scoop that it’s duff information. 

Been saying for weeks that nothing is certain until it’s on a poster. Madonna enters the conversation.

All 3 headliners are wide open.

To be fair, the suggestion it was Stevie Wonder came from multiple directions.

Meaning there's far, far more of substance to suggest he was in the plans than we ever had for Madonna.

[foolee]

Olivia Rodrigo please! 

[ModBoy]

I don't know what to believe anymore, how confident are we that Stevie is out?

Sure - but plans can change when the circumstances do. Both for the festival and for the band (GFL losing a headliner, Blur deciding to take the Coachella money meaning they're active in a closer timeframe).

The SW rumours never made sense to me in the first place.

[Acid_Haze]

Stevie Wonder out, Stevie Nicks in, poster out tomorrow??

You're just superstitious

[gigpusher]

Finally some excitement about headliners. Anything could happen. I'd love to see O Rod given her shot. Would even tolerate that as a coheadliner with KOL or The Killers as long as they go on first!!

That's all fair - but if one of the big three has d@bbed down it would be seriously screwy to get on the phone to KoL when O-Rod is standing there in a prime position.

I reckon if she was available she'd be there. Probably not.

If the festival only lost SW this week then I'd expect that any potential announcement is further away, not closer.
