You'd miss a Prodigy headline set in favour of the latest fad Disney pop star? 

If id seen the Prodigy about 20 times previously (as i have) and the headlining artist was "O-Rod" who i'd never seen before and really enjoy a lot of stuff off her first two albums.....

 

I'd be at O-Rod

The info may be from Discord but its been posted here. I assume they are more likely to frequent here than Discord was all my thinking.

So weird that they're claiming Rodrigo won't top. Quietly astonished, given how sure we've been she's the biggest lock of the lot, that they'd even go that route.

 

But I still feel unsure on Wonder and Young. The former, as we say, has to have BST in the back pocket too, and the latter mentioning rebooking a tour because of "health reasons" reads to me that he is a risk of a booking in that sense.

 

Just to clarify... The health reasons aren't truly health reasons, more health concerns.

 

Neil has been particularly cautious during and since COVID, and almost all dates played since have been outdoors due to the better ventilation. Someone asked him on NYA a few years ago if he'd ever tour Europe again and he said he would, but he'd play outdoor venues. He seems particularly cautious about Europe for some reason - I guess the early headlines probably didn't help...

 

The recent post on NYA seemed to suggest that a promoter had booked indoor venues too, and that the tour was being rescheduled to remove those and include more outdoor venues.

 

It's not fully clear why Neil is so apprehensive but it would be understandable that he doesn't want to pass anything on to family who have health challenges of their own.

 

Edited to add - 2024 date cancellations were believed to be due to health issues with Ralph and/or Billy from Crazy Horse. This seems to be confirmed by the fact Neil has spun up another band and has decided to keep playing. A real shame, I hope the other guys are doing well.

Absolutely love the prodigy and I’ve been hoping for a return for a while definately due an appearance so I’d be at them .. would be a great alternative for me , strength all round makes Glastonbury great although still not quite sure on other 2 nights

Hmm yeah maybe but not beyond the realms of possibility that they have a guy in there. Although all of what they are reporting is a week or 2 old now so maybe they don't.

If linking or talking about a Glasto article in the sun is that egregious then just ban any links to it. People are free to discuss it and not even one link has been posted to the article it's just discussing the names mentioned.

For me I'm not bothered where an artists comes from if I like them but I've yet to catch O-Rod and I've seen The Prodigy a couple of times with Brixton coming up next week.

Thank you very much!

 

It still... hmmm, it feels like a stretch of a risk if he's that concerned about it though.

so no links and no discussion? cause there were no links and it still wasn't really allowed to be discussed. 

 

also can you point me in the direction of the rules saying sun links are banned please?

Of course. It's just that if he's so concerned about touring Europe indoors, they must be offering him quite the chunk of cheddar to even venture back outdoors over here.

 

Factor in his push to tour green - which likely endears Glastonbury more than many rivals to be fair - and it's just feeling like a booking that runs the risk of folding at short notice.

 

I'm not saying that it should stop EE from pursuing him - if he's booked and he pulls it off, lovely stuff.

 

I'll assume due diligence has been done though.

I'm going to a festival they're headlining and still won't be watching them!

I thought your reply was in response to the first bit of the question.

 

Ok- so it isn't banned then. So can it not just be discussed without descending into what it has done

Private jet to avoid covid, but damages the green credentials, or normal plane and catch covid? Decisions decisions for him...

Not sure yet, though there are about 4 other stages, just not a fan of Prodigy! 

[Gnomicide]

Someone a while ago did some kind of Google search that showed all The Sun Glastonbury stories over recent years, which highlighted how much they've got wrong. I can't remember who it was and I wish I'd bookmarked it.

 

I think they used to get more stuff correct (The Who asked an example) but have gone downhill* in the clickbait age.

 

*downhill in the Glastonbury stories space, obviously they couldn't get much lower in general.

Fair enough. I haven't seen them post Keith's death so can't imagine any other headliner having a bigger draw for me. Certainly not any of the other stuff that's been hinted at on here so far.

Interesting. Would be great to see that again cause it is hard to remember year by year. 

 

I seem to remember them saying Pulp secret set in 2023 which obv wasn't true. 

 

Either way, all these names were already known, it's just somewhat interesting when it is reported cause when they reported Madonna Dua and Coldplay last year the fest came out and said that is not right.

As long as people refrain from posting things that only serve to upset other members, as in, things that could be seen as a reference to a horrendous tragedy, then of course the Sun, Mirror, Daily Sport or any other publication can be discussed. (Does the sport still exist?) 

The poster is being given the benefit of the doubt this time, as they have a good track record, and there's reasonable doubt, the reference wasn't direct enough. But any more posts like the one I've hidden will lead further action, this isn't the place for that kind of thing.
