Technically, GovBall is run by Founders Entertainment who's parent company is Live Nation, but very nice otherwise.

Eh. Feels like their time has passed for Glastonbury and you're more likely to see them elsewhere.

 

But then what the f**k do I know.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Secret set innit.  Seems they were lined up to do one in 2020.

When is lolla expected ? @Suprefan

 

 

I'm pretty young and its come out of nowhere for me (i did delete tiktok though in like april or may last year). I was surprised by R&L and thought it was a mad booking and they f**ked off but both sides of the pond he is getting these bookings. Fair play i guess (crap though!)

Mid March. Outside Lands will follow and then ACL is usually May. Shakey Knees and Riot likely joined at the hip so May ish will be their time frame too. 
 

 

Lolla is gonna be JT, O Rod, Rufus Du Sol a K Pop act and other randomness up top.

so theyre gonna tbd Mumford and no Oasis. Great move there.

 

 

Nine Inch Nails is in Amsterdam June 29 which obviously lowers their chances. But Im curious to see what they do between the uk dates and that cause 2 weeks sure is a big break.

I'm sure that when the offer came in from Noel Gallagher to do a secret set in 2025 Emily personally picked up the phone and blew raspberries down the line at him.

That was 2019 though, it was really during lockdown that the fanbase seemed to grow - lot of his old songs became TikTok hits. 

 

With it looking like TikTok is going to have to stop operations in the USA this weekend, makes you wonder what the actual trend will be for making pop hits happen when one considers that TikTok was going better in how it was working to attract young people's attention.

Plausible.

 

Maybe there's also a candidate for one of the two vacant BST Hyde Park dates.

I don’t think Oasis were an option for a TBD

Maybe if Glastonbury added a few zeroes to their offer.

[Superscally]

There's never a bad moment to say M*mf*rd are sh*t. Also, so is Hozier.

so the offer is now £1,000. That should be enough.  Just gotta sell a few boxes of t shirts to cover that.

There isn't a festival in the world that would pay them more than what they've grossed for their own shows and they aren't playing any other festivals instead, so your point is dead.

You know Im kidding right. We have nothing to talk about right now so we can keep being cheeky about how Glasto pays artists nothing.  Theyll cash in on the festival circuit next year. Glasto doesnt have $10 million for one act, but Coachella does.

Maybe they should start supporting some charities instead!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hey - they do make large donations.

Hmm not fantastic that.

 

Why are a load of them all Jan (or last year) then the rest in March? Bit random - is there much in feb?

Radius clause and sometimes first rights. Obviously a bunch of fests have to follow Coachella's lead and announce right after. Then Lolla and the rest have artists touring through their respective cities through March and you gotta wait. There will be smaller events that drop in Feb but arent of any consequence. Thats been happening already. Warped Tour is at the end of Jan and are sort of an outlier since its not poaching much from anyone.
