Does add further weight to the possibility that QOTSA just aren't doing it this year.

[Superscally]

He's not headlining other anyway so it'll be fine.

Doesn't seem to be any doubt that that Friday was the original plan.

But they are (now?) short a Sunday headliner.

Or people have been looking forward to seeing both and might be disappointed with the clash 🤷‍♂️ 

Clashes are gutting - I'm gutted to have to miss some of WoD for Elton, but people won't be talking about this Fred gig (that isn't going to happen) in two years time, whereas they'll be talking about Elton's in twenty.

It's an obvious chess move if they've lost a headliner.

I mean yeah it makes total sense, prime candidate if Queens aren't there. 

Probably the ideal person on the bill to split some of the Elton ginormo crowd tbh.

No one has said this.

I'll be at Elton 100% but will also be gutted to miss Fred, both things can be true.

There have been people in the last page saying exactly that.

There are others.

Said it before, I’ll say it again… he was offered the Friday Other Headline and said no and wanted to Sub.

Not sure he’s suddenly thought oooh Sunday Vs Elton is a better idea

[Justcalledtosay]

Can someone remind me why QOTSA are a doubt?

 

(I don't want to hear that they're at Elton)

Just move Lil Nas X to Other headliner and have QOTSA sub Elton... 😉

The Guardian announced and then unannounced them in the initial lineup reveal which has got rumours swirling on why they’ve seemingly dropped off the lineup - whether it’s because they’re out completely or just being held back for a later announcement 

[Justcalledtosay]

That's the one.

I would note that his website hasn't been updated to include those Scottish dates.

[gfa]

maybe Fred again is a massive AM fan!

[TGCarr]

Is there any word of PHM at all yet? Seems to be inevitable

The horrible consensus seems to be pointing to Other sub. On Clashfinder would give you 15 mins for the dash. Ain't happening that. 

[mike46]

Looks like QOTSA Sunday is still on 

[Superscally]

I like that this thread is now the pseudo QOTSA thread. This is of course the nightmare that Fred fans feared happening to others, but it is what it is. Elton trumps everything.

Good news, seems nailed on for Sunday Other and the 24 hour Fred panic is over. 

The Fred > Hot Chip Friday dream is alive and well.

Not so sure on that any more. 

WoD are definitely on Sunday, as they have gigs elsewhere on Fri and Sat.  Initial thought was Woodsies headline.

But a month ago (after initial lineup poster), Christine & The Queens was thought to be Sunday Woodsies headliner - which would have logically left WoD as Other sub, Pyramid afternoon, or maybe Park headline.  But now C&TQ self-confirmed for Saturday - so maybe WoD are back on for Woodsies?
