mdp963 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) This may of course be old hat to some ...but it is on the Hard Rock Calling Web site with this interesting quote The Boss’ and the E Street Band will perform their first ever-festival appearance outside of the United States, at Hard Rock Calling 2009 in Hyde Park, London on June 28th Edited February 10, 2009 by mdp963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Anyone who believes it is an idiot. http://www.brucespringsteen.net/live/index.html it's the same old game as ever - they're trying to use this press release to undermine the idea he might be playing Glasto, to help ensure ticket sales for London. I've amended the article on eFests to now read: According to the press release of this announcement, this will be "Bruce Springsteen’s first ever-festival appearance outside of the United States." Seeing as Bruce is playing the Pink Pop festival in Holland prior to Hard Rock Calling, that claim is bull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 BTW, am pretty sure that the Saturday headliner is Paul McCartney. Am also almost certain that the stories of it being AC/DC are waaaaaaay off the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerdurden Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 hmm, so hes going to scoot off from glasto with his e street band and their gear after his late finish headline slot, down to hyde park and do the same again.

PAH030 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 However, i dont see why them playing gigs a couple of days before or a day after Glasto would matter, does this not happen quite alot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenbha Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm pretty sure too that when blur announced hyde park they always said there'd be more gigs building up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdaveak47 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm sure he'll still play not that i'm bothered i'm going to see Franz Ferdinand instead. But i'm suprised he hasn't given himself a days rest, if the gig was 2 days away nobody would blink an eyelid, but having them 2 days in a row does introduce a small element of doubt, especially in the minds of people who bought tickets just for Bruce. But then again Eavis did say he wasn't releasing the names of the headliners as they had they had there own gigs to sell out first, this is now true of bruce & blur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 So do you mean by confirming The Boss first they're hoping people will think the Hard Rock Calling gig is the only one he's playing in England, so people who didn't get Glasto tickets will rush to get to HRC? He's still (probably) at Glastonbury, yes? yes. He is playing Glastonbury, I'm 99.9999999999999999999% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdaveak47 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 yes. He is playing Glastonbury, I'm 99.9999999999999999999% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
