Not sure IOW have paid loads for someone for about a decade - its pretty budget nowadays

IOW paid £1m for Green day this year.

Realistically, unless they're prepared to take a heavy discount Oasis would cost several multiples of that. This year at least.

This isn't very much in the grand scheme - Reading pay multiple times that for their bigger headliners

 

Each wembley show will easily be making them far more than that £10 x 90,000 tickets is basically it already, profit likely far more than tenner on each though

 

Only R&L and Glasto could possibly get them I think

I thought Bruce was ruled out based on tour dates being too close?

[mufcok]

Ok. I wanted to wait on Oasis before I posted this, as I thought that may change the landscape - but it appears they aren't doing it.

 

Fresh off my Oasis reunion success, I'm chancing my arm with information I had from the same... circle, shall we say. I had this just over three weeks ago:

 

They've offered Eminem.

 

Whether he'll do it or not is another question, but I was told the offer is in.

Effectively ruled out of the Sunday, and extremely unlikely for the Saturday.

 

The Friday could just about work logistically, but even that seems a bit of a stretch (and may get fully ruled out when the rest of the tour dates are announced).

Thanks yeah this makes sense - I thought we might have some new info…

[Wildglastotheo]

I’m going with - O-Rod - Eminem - FATM

[Wildglastotheo]

Or maybe Sam fender instead of Florence - but seems unlikely to have 3 first-timers

[Wildglastotheo]

And Fred Again to headline if Eminem says no

[FuzzyDunlop]

Worked for creation & had the reunion before quite a few

[mufcok]

I personally think Fred is a lock, regardless of the other two.

 

I've thought that for months, based on nothing but my opinion, and that Reading set did nothing to deter that.

[sildante]

I have to join the straw-clutchers - I would definitely not rule Oasis out the picture yet, regardless of what the promoter wrote in their press release. At least until Emily says it, which she may well do over the next week or two. The two Gallaghers, massive fans of the festival, kicking off a stadium tour the week after (...in Cardiff?). I don't believe it would be signed and sealed yet regardless, as I suspect there is a lot up-in-the-air logistically about the reunion (warm-up shows, new music, Liam & Noel getting on, additional dates, ticket sales), but I can't see why it would be completely off the table, unless GF have 3x strong headliners secured, or the band have TBA warm-up shows elsewhere that weekend.

 

If you choose to believe the above that one of the headliner positions has been offered to Eminem, this would mean that at least one of the headliner slots is still open.

I said it in the Oasis thread but it's possible the reason for the tour kicking off the following week is so that Noel can go to the G as a punter.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hopefully past it 90s duffers Oasis don't play and still relevant, vital youngster Eminem shows up to bring a proper party.

[Xeph1995]

Eminem in 2024/25 is the most tragic booking this festival could have done, genuinely trash.

 

Shite music for 13 year old edgelords, is also very crap live.

 

New album’s lyrics are atrocious, the whole it’s my persona saying this just doesn’t fly anymore.

Good impression to be fair.

 

Although I did read it as sarcasm

[CaledonianGonzo]

Mad for it.

 

By which I mean mom's spaghetti.

"I know you paid 200-500 quid for tickets for our shows and we said we weren't playing glasto or being televised, but we were only having a laugh and you can see whether you want to return the tickets or cancel your hotels when we play G 25"

[The Red Telephone]

Is Neville Southall ITK?
