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?

Thought the timing was as much anything given these festivals announced have been in May-time while July-October ones come later.

 

Saying that European festivals seem to just announce everything all at once so maybe there's a difference in such an approach with the calendar split.

This a leak then?

 

A while ago the Evening Standard newspaper was claiming she was going to repeat the Renaissance Tour with a 5 night stand at the Tottenham Stadium in London.

I completely agree, country i can handle, Americana like Jason Isbell and more well known Chris Stapleton. All tastes acquired by osmosis.

 

Beyonce, her voice and warble isn't for me. Powerful, successful and influential woman, but doesn't do it for my ears. 

 

100's of alternative stages though!

I think you can relax about the prospects of her appearing at Glastonbury

If the rumour is that she's doing stadium dates, and indeed that she hadn't really been a strong rumour for Glastonbury until now, then yeah it would be a surprise to see Beyonce make it to the farm.

[gfa]

She would be an upgrade on all 3 size wise (well dur) but also would get my lot more excited. Undercard great so far anyway based on rumours 😄 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Size-wise she'd be an upgrade on any possible booking, with the exception of Taylor. Still ain't happening though.

To be honest Taylor would be the only one recently mentioned that would draw me to the Pyramid

Got some less positive news for you on that one

Yeah, @Someoni - he's dead and Dave had an affair so they're ruled out.

[Skip997]

It’d be a real shame if Beyoncé turned up and did her country stuff

Haha you're a Swifty and you know it.

 

Foo fighters in 2017 were bang on. Though this time I'd ease off the acid a bit..

Agreed. I'm all for artists doing different things and not just churning out the same thing over and over, but at the same time that album was just....nah.  Just didn't feel like a natural fit for her at all.

[stuie]

Yeah, Bey ain't coming back... ever.  She's president of the 'once and done' club.

I'd be over the moon if she did, but it's not happening 😞

One of the few headliners I'm gutted not to have seen, but getting married took precedence that year! 😂

To be fair I could see her coming back to play the legend slot for the 2055 festival

Her whole country shtick is blatantly careerist given that it's the new trend in the USA. Luckily I doubt she'll play the fest.

Correct. She saw there was money to be made and went for it. Total cop out though.

She could do an album of Mongolian throat singing and it’d still get to top of charts and be forced down our necks by every radio station in the country.
