I keep coming here expecting some headliners chat… more fool me, clearly.

Well we are pretty sure we know our headliners so it’s probably much better to discuss the rest of the bill.

yep, but that's normally down to marketing.

I’m still not convinced we do. I think there’s a curveball coming.  The ones in discussion as nailed on don’t convince me. Can’t put my finger on why, they just don’t fit in my mind.

AM/GNR/Elton - no way, surely.

AM/Styles/Elton - maybe, but still doesn’t have the usual balance of genre/style of act they usually aim for.

AM or Styles/something drastically different*/Elton feels closer to the mark.

* Beyoncé returns/Due Lipa/Lizzo at a stretch would all fit this gap.

Is Rihanna ruled out? My thinking is AM, Rihanna, Elton

Only that she hasn’t toured or released music in years and as far as we know, has no plans to do either.  That would balance it up, but would also be a curveball for the ages.  Seems like a stretch.

Styles can only do Sunday I think so he’s out.

If Billie Eilish is an industry plant, the industry has done well and I want them to plant more

He’s only in Belgium not the other side of the world … ok it might be a stretch but a long way from impossible

Well he’s going to struggle because Elton is headlining the Sunday.

Styles ain’t doing it.

The headliners are AM, GNR, Elton. It’s a let down after the great trios we’ve had, but unfortunately it’s what we are getting.

Best source in the game for AM news says they are doing the Friday.

I believe that source originally stated they were playing but not the day @fraybentos1 is that right ? So sat would be possible still ?

They’re playing Glasgow on Sunday and don’t tend to do consecutive nights in different cities.

it looks logical I agree ... although im not 100% convinced its nailed on yet ... I presume they wont need quite a bit of the tour kit for the farm . maybe im willing a curveball into existence though , will no doubt find out soon

You’re missing the fact that he isn’t doing consecutive nights in different venues anywhere in this tour and didn’t on the last either.

That may end up being the case, but we’re far from being certain of it. It’s your best guess, that’s all.

It has some pretty solid info behind it to be fair. Though it's not a done deal, true enough.

That is a great trio. At least as good as last year's.

This just doesn't feel right. I can't really explain it but I just know it's wrong.
