AM and Guns. Ew. 

Even that poster art announcing GnR looks dated as hell.

Is BST a major festival…. Asking for a friend 

Yes, extremely popular and has the clout to secure exclusives now. The had to "give away tickets" years ago but they've since settled on a really strong booking policy that hit more adult/older demographics, and it always does very well every year now.

Genuine question (with a bit of shade attached). Do GnR only have one good* album? 

 

(*I will concede, a great album)

Come on BST, far more suitable event for the picnic blanket posse

[TGCarr]

So what is Elton John teasing on Insta? Guessing it’s BST?

There is 1 however…. He’s played it recently so would he post something like that to tease it? Basically I want him to play Glasto so trying to convince myself

Exactly. 

He's saving the special one for last. 

Good man.

[lighthouse]

I looove Elton but him AND Guns would be too much of an old fart fest. Hell, even AM is a bit of a nostalgic act for a newer generation.

What would your reaction have been if Dolly was announced as a Pyramid headliner instead?

Erm... You could probably have guessed yourself to be honest... "She should be in the legends slot"

I could

he has lots of wild west themed songs so you could build an entire wild west area

You could have a train that doesn't stop at a particular place

competitions for who can stand the longest

A rocket themed ride

a wizard of oz area

A ride similar to 'it's a small world' but instead it's called 'candle in the wind' and it's full of animatronic Princess Diana's. This will probably be the centre piece

you could hire lots of tiny dancers to walk around and entertain the guests 

 

That's brilliant... Are you an imagineer by day? 🤷‍♂️😂😂

Surely it should be called Elton Towers?

Nice one... But don't put ideas in the heads of the Merlin marketing department!!! They'll be running an event next year and changing the park name to that for the day!!! They once changed 'Rita - Queen of Speed' to 'Camilla - Queen of Speed' to commemorate the royal wedding. 🙈

A proper last gig celebration, Wembley or something to finish off? Can't see it being for us but I really hope it is  

[Muppetmark]

Friday of glasto was when he can play bst. He could do that and glasto sunday

[OllieMadd]

I like not being keen on the Pyramid headliners. Means you end up sitting at Strummerville being the audience member for the poor lad that's been booked for that slot and discovering your new favourite act.

Looking at the BST dates he can only do the 23rd June , the other free date is now out as he is in Switzerland
