Announcing a stadium tour on Thursday (most likely around June/July) and they’re missing from the Download lineup despite being rumoured for multiple festivals around Europe at a similar time.

 

Anyone recon they’re in for a chance? Not sure where they’d play if they got booked and even if they got booked however.

No chance of headlining the Pyramid. Possibly Other, although if they’re (bizarrely) a stadium band now, they may consider it beneath them. Not really the sort of act that the Eavii routinely book

and somehow you think playing Wembley means they can do Glasto.

 

 

Funny how any festival thats worth a damn is getting these questions on LP even though theyre not being booked for anything multi genre. Almost as if the scientologists want to manifest this. 🤔

Is Rock Werchter not multi genre?

Some did use to go for both tbf - Muse did both Glastonbury and Wembley in 2010, while Foo Fighters were meant to be doing both in 2015 before Dave Grohl's Swedish stage stumble. I'm not sure if LP were on Glastonbury's radar necessarily though.

While I do not think they is any chance they will be at Glastonbury this year -  I think they should be and has headliner.

 

I think the criteria for a headliner should always be can they pull a big enough crowd and can they entertain that crowd.  I think they would easily pull an Arctic Monkeys size crowd, possibly bigger.  They are mega popular I think the reunion has shown that. 

 

I think if this reunion goes as well as it looks like it is the festival would do well to get them.  Reality is they probably would take Leeds& Reading or DL money ahead of Glasto

I think it's headliner or nothing for LP.

They are big enough to do it and I think they would be great live if you are into that sort of thing. 

It's no stranger than metallica doing it. 

Not this year with Wembley happening. 

I think it will always be unlikely because Download/R&L is a better fit, but you couldn't ever write it off.

Looking at the tour poster they posted on twitter/x. It doesn't appear that they do any back to back nights at any point. Every date appears to have a gap as far as I can see (unless there are festival dates in between that aren't on the poster).

 

Therefore if they play London on Saturday. Then a glasto Friday/Sunday is surely unlikely?...

I feel they have a better chance of doing in now than ever before, especially with Emily really pushing for more female fronted headliners 🤷‍♀️ they have also had lots of other rock/metal bands so I see no reason LP couldn't be considered especially when there are so few bands these days that have the potential to draw a huge crowd other than ones they get to play every other year (Coldplay, foo fighters. Muse) snore!

To be fair it shouldn't be, it might have needed to changed but the name is kinda in the festival quite loud and clear and really consist of those elements on a heavy majority, which I would say it generally has.

 

I don't see a chance that Glastonbury book them mind. If anything they would turn up on the Sunday before going to Germany but they don't need to.

Not ruled out in theory. In practice as good as ruled out. In the end, it doesn't even matter, as they don't seem to be the type of act the festival would book.

That's enough lying from you!!! The festival is absolutely somewhere they belong, especially as Other Stage headliners imo. I think there's a faint hope, and I've not given up!

I'd love it if they did Glasto and be there with my bells on and hands held high. I'd be one step closer to ticking everyone on my to-see list. But they are doing stadiums all across the world, they're headliner or bust and sadly not the kind of headliner I see the festival booking. And even if you leave out all the rest, it would require breaking the habit of not doing shows on consecutive days.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
