Springsteen to play Hyde Park

[pedmills]

sounds like a good subject for a new thread!!

[staggerlee]

very nearly as certain, but just the tiniest bit less.

[micawber]

nah, cheesier than even that.

(note: what I class as cheese you might not )

[stonedhenge]

oh no its not mica is it?!!

[eFestivals]

So out of interest, which bands have you ruled our so far?

every band in the world, aside from a smallish number that are ruled in as possible.

[Red Day]

Why? They've toured fairly regularly these past 15 years. How many times have you seen them play at this stage?

[sifi]

ME is certainly getting the exclusive headliners (except Blur)

[Red Day]

And Bruce.

Unless you don't consider Hyde Park Calling a festival.

In which case you might have a point.

[sifi]

Think it's more an outdoor event/concert than a festival so ME can have the benefit of the doubt

[hulk mike]

nah, cheesier than even that.

[stoneroses19]

is it journey? oh please say its journey!

I love the fact that this started off with all the best intentions. A new topic, all about Springsteen and Hyde Park but so quickly it has turned back into, "who is the fourth headeliner going to beeee?"

But on that note...

Any more news yet?

When you say cheesey are you thinking Beyonce?

I saw Coldplay last night in Tokyo and their set/tour/back catalogue/stageshow has grown so much now, I know it hasn't looked likely since the end of last year but surely they would be far too big to be on what already looks to be probably the best lineup in years? They have changed a lot and improved by miles since the 2005 headline slot, which was dull all-bar maybe 2 songs. I'm really not a Coldplay fan (I probably would be if Chris Martin stopped talking constant sh*t and running around like a wannabee fairy) but I have to say it was an extremely entertaining, big and very well put together show that was almost perfect for a large gig but 1 word. T*ss*r!!

...already sold out. The Boss (and E Street Band) can certainly draw a crowd...

[SJ121]

Probably because they are the best live act of all time

[denwyn]

Slight possiblity that this means Springsteen is playing the Friday? With Neil Young on before him? And Radiohead playing the Saturday...?

[HastingsBoy]

nah, cheesier than even that.

blur and bruce are playing everywhere

not even remotely a glasto exclusive or near exclusive

they need to forget having neil young as a possible headliner

he must be the "fourth headliner"

someone big and newer should do friday

Neil - please tell me it's not Cliff and The Shadows?! I cannot stand Cliff - he is one of the artists you are not allowed to knock in the country - living legend and all that crap. Cliff has never ever been cool!

Sorry (takes deep breath) rant over.
