Ah they did yes, maybe she asked for a lot more than that. Given for example what harry had at Wembley she could have a big stage that juts right out at BST and get mega money for it for 3 nights. She won't get anywhere near that for Glastonbury 

 

Eavis got out in front of negotiations before he approached them and offered something different (the phoenix) as a sweetener. And they also made the Pyramid field much bigger in 2013. And Glasto had to sell the new sound quality setup to Jagger - RG Jones and Martin Audio. 

 

And they had mainly dogshit on the other stages at the time.

I don't think hes/they're a big enough Madge fan to do similar for her. Nor should they.

To be honest while it might not have been said people's Cup of tea, I've actually met people since who did chose Other stage instead because that's where their interest was.

Fender presumably comes with album four in his back pocket if he plays.

does this make madonna more likely for 28 now as the Pyramid would have a bigger footprint then ? still think as @mufcok stated they are just lowing the Madonna chat down as they dont want it being heavily discussed before ticket sale

I’ve lost track, but if we’re talking The Rolling Stones year, then Public Enemy were several times better than the Stones

Is the thinking he could be an Other Stage headliner next year? 

There could be a chance for sure. No real chat, but it would be insane.

Its basically a case of who people like isn't it. I've no interest in Public Enemy, I like Example and C&S to a degree but I wasn't missing The Stones. Some younger folk too wouldn't really care about them. Some people I know went when they were 18 and I was 26.

Pheobe Bridgers, Sam Smith and Bicep likely make that chance much less lol. He's not taking an other stage set time though.

I’m a Stones fan. I had a really difficult choice to make between them and PE. Choose the Stones, lasted about 15 minutes and then bailed (they were dreadful). Legged it to WH, thankfully as PE were brilliant

I dunno - I thought that initially but I'm, reluctantly, edging towards not happening as it stands. Will continue to dig where I can, though.

 

Re 2028 - I wouldn't be confident. If this is the second time they've tried and it's gone belly up, it could be a case of just write it off.

which would make that Graham Norton interview nonsense .... although obviously things change 

[Rosscoe]

listening to jamie east's podcast earlier he said that he'd heard fender is confirmed, and that as of 2 weeks ago Madonna hadn't been approached.

She was/is 100% in the mix, but I don't know specific timings and how it relates to that interview. They've clearly gone after her, again.

 

It could be read in a number of ways - she was in negotiations at that point, she was talking about BST (and he's interpreted it, as we have, as Glastonbury). Who knows
