That post talks about them headlining Glastonbury again. 

It's more the thread. There is a poster bjornulf. He's the man behind the forum. He's in the know and always gives solid info. There will be a tour in UK/Europe next year. Don't expect any good solid info before the end of the year.

well I mean Gary's father did die of dementia and that can pass on. But who knows. They all seem happy and fine right now.

Scissor Sisters teasing a reunion, would be a great 3rd down Pyramid after legend

I know they subbed Muse in 2010, but I know Ana loves Glastonbury and I think they'd be happy to launch things there, given the UK seemed to be their strongest market in their heyday.

Could Scissor Sisters be a curve to headline West Holts?

Mentioned as much in the WH thread but I seem to have misjudged the enthusiasm for this news*, which suggests it needs to be a on a bigger stage.

 

 

*Probably because they seemed to split largely due to public indifference.

It is more enthusiastic than I thought. Third down main seems to be a very good place for them, especially moving on from the legend. Keeps the party going, so to speak.

B*witched playing a festival in Cornwall the week before Glastonbury next year. They are quoted in The Post.

Has it come to this? 😞

Blue are practically begging to be another nostalgia-bait act who end up on West Holts having been underestimated by the bookers. Surprised it hasn’t already happened.

I won't lie, that bill does slightly bring me out in hives.

I'm not.  The nostalgia acts that they've had on WH recently have been r'n'b acts with decent critical reputations.

Are Sugababes an rnb act? I get what you’re saying though & I definitely don’t see Blue as a West Holts act. What’s the world coming too, how are we discussing Blue and B*witched!?

[NorthernSoul52]

Sugababes had a decent critical reception? Must have missed that in the noughties. (I was a child, to be fair.)

I mean there's a grey area where rnb shades into pop.  The 'babes definitely a lot more 'street' than their contemporaries tho.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

think Blue would be absolutely fine for the stage. The bigger issue would probably be Lee Ryan being a racist plank. Although they sold out a recent academy tour so it didn’t seem to have hurt their reputation too much.

Peerless string of singles. In its own way Freak Like Me was a bit of a game-changer.

[NorthernSoul52]

Bryan Adams going off on the Chinese didn't appear to impact him, though to be fair, that seemed to be more motivated by vegetarianism.

I did say half in jest, I must admit - a lot of people I know say they were "pop perfection" next to their girl group peers of the period. (Which I guess means Girls Aloud?)

[CaledonianGonzo]

Girls Aloud have equally got a serious arsenal of absolute belters - but they're more of a Pyramid act.

[NorthernSoul52]

The debate goes whether Sugababes were too now, but that's one to split hairs on another day.

Absolutely perfect line up

 

for my daughters 10th birthday party back in the day😉😊

[NorthernSoul52]

Glad you said "back in the day". Would be stunned if any ten-year-olds these days had a Scooby Doo who Gareth Gates is or was.
