I guess it depends what they try to do with the character now they've made him an MCU figure with Deadpool & Wolverine.

They've already ruined his perfect send off once 🙄

Is it likely that Stevie Wonder would be on the same weekend as ELO?

Must be part of their panic in having to re-write everything given people hated their initial plans and then Jonathan Majors' misbehaviour meant that plan had to go in the bin. Plus getting the rights back to X-Men means they've clearly decided they wanna do something with it, not least as adamantium is now apparently MCU canon from what I heard about the new Captain America movie.

Well we've gotta have announcements for anyone filling the now 3 vacant spots for this sooner rather than later.

Oh I'm happy for X-Men to be in MCU but just start fresh with them instead of constantly bringing back the old lot.

Is he confirmed to be playing one of the dates?

Pet Shop Boys have (for me at least, slightly unexpectedly) announced that they're going to do some summer UK shows this year, continuing with the Dreamworld / Greatest Hits show.

 

Odds on them being one of the missing BST dates?

I thought I saw an ad for a show - possibly Warwick Castle - a day or two ago, but haven't been able to find it since. I wonder if someone broke the embargo. Would think this might indicate the likes of Lytham, Cardiff, maybe Come Together... not sure of their pulling power for BST, but will be interesting to see what they offer.

Here we go. It's been taken down for the moment

Sabrina Carpenter added date announced tomorrow seemingly 

 

[charlierc]

Someone called earlier in the thread that this was a possibility when it was announced the Hugh Jackman show had been canned. So, tick.

[LeithRichards]

That’s Sabrina announced now

I got my hopes up last year about SW at BST as there were very strong rumours back then.

if it’s going to happen it’ll likely be the last announcement IMO and I doubt there will be any insider info relating to SW before then.  Once bitten twice shy…

I’m still secretly hoping a bit though. And if I’m being fussy Saturday 12th would be perfect!

[NorthernSoul52]

How many we waiting on now? Just the Friday and Saturday of the final weekend?

[snoochie1981]

Neil Young tour announcement on Monday so assuming this could include a BST announcement

Yep, Fri 11th and Sat 12th July, before Jeff Lynnes farewell on Sunday.

 

Has to be a rock act of some sort, was hoping for Kings of Leon again but in Spain/Portugal on those dates. (UK beforehand)

[Fleetwood_Mac_And_Cheese]

Welp, 

 

Between this and the Massive Attack date that's just been announced I could do with festivals quieting down on the announcements for just a few weeks lol.

 

Having said that I was so sad I was going to miss Chappell, Charli and Sabrina at Primavera. With this booked that's me not getting FOMO!

Maybe not BST but somewhere, as London not on their tour schedule currently

I thought one would've been announced with their previously announced litany of UK dates.

 

Take it Cardiff, Lytham, Newcastle and Portsmouth are all a bit of trek away?

I think so, yes. Who that could be is another matter.
