Forth headliner= Madonna

[scudetto_boy]

I heard a rumour, or read it in a newspaper a few weeks ago, that Madonna may play because she is wanting to boost her image after her divorce. What do everyone-else think? I know she's very greedy but may be willing to play in order to send out the right kinda messages about her (depsite her current ticket prices).

If she were to play, i wouldn't be too fussed about seeing her.

The 4 headliners are comprised of 2 American artists & 2 English. ( apparently )

The 2 American artists will most probably be Neil Young & Bruce Springsteen & the 2 Brits ... 1 will most prob be Blur and the other is open to debate. I know my Cuz's g/f will be gutted as she wanted to see Madonna lol

[darrenbha]

Highly unlikely. AlrEady discounted when debated at great length on here previously. In fact i think neil confirmed it as a non starter

[fantomas]

young is canadian, but he's north american I suppose.

eavis has already said madonna is not playing.

As happens every year, there have been some more off-the-wall suggestions – including that of Madonna.

But Mr Eavis said of that rumour: "That's not a good one."

would hate madonna to play to be honest, theres something in my mind that when a big act plays who i dont particularly like, aka bruce, i get disappointed, as that headline slot has gone to someone i dont like, its almost as though i feel its a waste because someone better or someone who i like more couldve played. i hope that makes sense. the way franz are probably headlining saturday other stage, that annoys me, because someone better couldve played that slot and it sort of cancels them out of playing because its not as if they're going to play lower on the bill.

[benisright]

tylerdurden you just compared madonna to the boss. Sickening.

[darrenbha]

But there are plenty of people who think that the acts in those slots are worthy of them. I don't think to myself oh those headliners are rubbish cos i don't like them. I just go to see something else

[scaryclaireyfairy]

nme's newscast vid thingy seemed to think the specials counted as fourth headliner. i'm not convinced.

She has just been confirmed - an extra £100 will be debited from the card account that you purchased your tickets with

£190 For a fu**ing seat at the O2, and i know there will be the usual "It all comes down to market forces" comments about her and her live performances but its nothing short of obcene. Ive seen her perform once many many years ago and before she took the singing lessons and voice coaching for the Evita movie and she was decidedly bloody average i can tell you.

If its older ladies that could appear on the main stage then id recommend Grace Jones, we went to see her on her latest tour and the woman was nothing short of Amazing!, the set was very biased towards her latest album with a heavy dub style reggae sound and classic GJ tracks such as Slave to the Rhythm and Demolition Man played as well.

[darrenbha]

I don't buy the whole market forces thing anyway. Think she's just plain greedy

I just can't believe people can afford it. You see people like springsteen touring and they charge a lot less and don't lip synch allegedly

[ferraristu]

What is even more cynical is a huge proportion of her live audience are gay men, a demographic with a larger disposable income and absolute devotion to her Madgness. She plays on this and knows that her audience will pay such inflated prices.

I cannot stand her

Thank god I am a gay Bruce fan haha
