This would constitute around glasto imo

It doesn't show they are playing a certain day but they are clearly 'touring around glasto'

14th June absolutely hints they're around. Even if that show is in a village by Lake Como, it's still active and on the road.

I was about to say "Wasn't the strong rumour that they'd already announced their 2024 touring schedule"?

That's why I said they were 'strong'...  My lack of Take That research let me down here.

Was this festival on the list of leaked Pearl Jam shows that have been doing the rounds on here for a few weeks?

[snoochie1981]

The leaked dates are one page back and included Bottlerock for the 24th. So a good sign for the rest of the dates

Have OMD ever played Glastonbury? Hearing the exquisite Messages on Lauren Laverne earlier got me looking at their tour schedule and can see they're active next year. No idea where they'd play right enough but would be there with bells on.

No, but they should be asked! Their new album is super. I really love them.

I'm only really familiar with those 80s records, will need to have a listen to the new stuff.

The festival has a general blind-spot towards acts like that - and the likes of Erasure, Heaven 17, ABC, etc - even up to and including the likes of Depeche Mode and Duran Duran.

As the 60s and 70s generation of acts start to disappear they do need to accept that the 80s is where they should be looking for their heritage performers.

Always thought OMD had a little more street cred in the bank (weren't they briefly signed to Factory?) but yeah I think you're right. Those sort of acts seem to have been compartmentalised by Rewind and the like.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Maybe a 'we didn't book them at the time so why would be book them now?' mindset, but that's just daft.

Pet Shop Boys and Madness are obvious exceptions.

[Avalon_Fields]

Totally agree. There's only been very selective 80's acts (The Cure, The Pretenders, Pet Shop Boys), but they should make amends. Particularly with those who remain valid today (The Pretenders Relentless and OMD Bauhaus Staircase aren't far off their classic eras).
