Could be one of them. Starting to wonder if this is where The Killers pop up for another UK show. They've been around the last three years in one guise or another, so could probably do with the time off. But I would wonder if they might sell it - having not done so for their shows last year - as Hot Fuss 21 or something. Think they'd shift enough for it.

It was today that Neil Young was meant to be announcing shows, right?

 

Guess we'll see later if this one makes the cut.

Would be cool but I guess it depends if that's something they feel like doing. I know they have history with Hyde Park shows - 2009 and 2011 as Hard Rock Calling (indeed I was at the second of those two) and then 2017.

 

I'd previously talked up Muse as an idea but Chris' comments on a podcast a few weeks ago seemed to hint the 5 European festivals they're doing in June will be it for them and then they'll be going to the studio to make the next album with a bigger tour in 2026.

Somebody on Reddit said 11 July for Neil Young + Van Morrison + Cat Stevens. This was before the announcement and they got Van Morrison correct as he is supporting the tour, so could be accurate and added later...

Not included in the full NY announcement earlier today but you suspect it'll feature given there's a big enough gap in his schedule for it to slide into.

Yeah, announcement on NYA has "more dates will be added shortly" as well. I reckon it's happening, possibly an announcement on Friday?

They often announce things for BST Hyde Park on Tuesdays tbf. So maybe keep an eye out and see if anything gets revealed tomorrow.

[NorthernSoul52]

See if this pops up...

[Elo111]

Is there any solid rumours for the rest of the dates? Seen Mariah is doing en exclusive at Sandringham.

She’s been on the line up rumour tab for this forum for ages, and is also headlining Brighton Pride.

Exclusive probably doesn’t mean what I thought it did…

Still waiting for now.

Neil Young is seen as a strong favourite.

 

Stevie Wonder keeps popping up in this thread.

[NorthernSoul52]

Stevie Wonder was one that seemed to be talked about as a two-for with this and the G.

 

But I've never been fully convinced.

[Bob123456]

SW is definitely in the uk from what ive heard but that was also the case from other people on this website last year 

[bluey260]

Based on how popular his European tour is going, I wonder whether they're trying to encourage Pitbull to do one of the three remaining dates.

[sisco]

What date was that incoming post…..  taking its time right?

Eh. Feels like it would be a surprise if he's just been through the trouble of announcing his own shows.

[NorthernSoul52]

Mr. Worldwide himself? Could he even shift one of the 45,000 capacity dates at BST pricing structures? Feels a little ambitious.

[NorthernSoul52]

Honestly, if they are indeed topping Glastonbury as speculated, not entirely out of the realm of possibility that The 1975 do this too.

I honestly cannot see it. A lot of the interest surrounding his shows come from the novelty and nostalgia factor, you can see that by the trend of people dressing up in suits and bald caps to go to his shows. Its a bit of a meme to be fair and are 45000 people willing to stand in a suit and bald cap on a hot day in a London park when they can do it in the O2 a few weeks earlier. I find it very hard to believe...

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, that's my thought. Just too much of a nostalgia gag perhaps to shift on this level, though if he can get those arena cash registers going, full play to him.

He seems to sell really well to be fair to him and if I wasnt busy on the dates hes in the UK I'd be tempted to go but I dont think the tickets are anywhere close to BST pricing

[NorthernSoul52]

Nah, nostalgia can sell but only up to a point. It will be someone with either firmly retro or current appeal and cross-generational cachet to follow-up.

 

Or, it will be Mumford and Sons.
