Did mull it might be Rod for a moment, but he's back stateside.

 

Could we get a co-headliner option? Know they've been few and far between.

I was thinking co headliner, quite a few bands busy on 12th though.

Or maybe even Duran Duran again but Nile Rogers is elsewhere.

Likely to be a UK/Irish  rock band or equivalent? No work permits needed, transport costs etc at this "late stage". If yes, who are available at "short notice"? 

 

Presumably 1975 given they're only announced for Glastonbury so far. I'm aware it would be unusual given it's not necessarily always the case for all of Glasto's headliners to head to London for this.

 

Maybe if they throw a bit of cash at Muse to tempt them out of their current 5 Euro dates being enough for their plans this year, that could be an option. Maybe. I dunno.

 

Though there's always the possibility a name is ready and will be announced this week. I don't know, I don't work in the promoters office.

There is still the remote choice that it could be Springsteen, but I'm ninety-nine percent certain the tour is wrapping in Milan the week before.

Always surprises me he's willing to play Hyde Park again after the time Westminster Council pulled the plug on him.

Muse don't have any UK shows at the moment, do they? Decent shout.

Money talks. But yeah, I think it's a bit of a weird one. 

 

He's said - or at least the press release has - that these shows are for markets not played in either 2023 or 2024, which is what rules London out of the picture for me. Think he'll wrap in Milan and head straight on holiday.

Correct - right now, they don't. In Finland, Sweden, Norway, France and the Netherlands, but not here. Where I'm not sure about them is Chris did a podcast interview a few weeks strongly suggesting the 5 Euro shows they have next summer are it. But equally, never say never.

I think Muse might have outgrown Reading and Leeds to an extent, but never say never.

I mean, I guess it's as much on what Reading's organisers think will appeal to their target market. Or what appeals to their target demographic in this age of R&L essentially now acting like Glastonbury-lite by booking a little bit of everything.

Muse please 🙏

 

Sat 12th July is the remaining date at BST free and their European tour runs 14th-27th June, so they are free.

 

Maybe with no new material a festival spot is ideal to just wack out the greatest hits and next summer do the stadium tour on the back of a new album?

Mumford and Sons at Big Weekend... 

 

Surely, surely, they're not on the level here anymore, are they?! 

 

Just saw them play last night at Kentish Town Forum, no support, came on after 9pm, barely played an hour. No thanks. A band with that back catalogue if they aren't having a support should play for 2 hours. They obviously haven't got enough decent material for a proper headline spot.

I thought they could be a shout but they've just announced an arena tour for December including London O2. So I think they're now out of this one.

Tbf, that's just a warm up gig. Literally no chance of that being the case when they actually tour.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
