Rolling Stones...

[The Nal]

my recollection of Slane is that it was a beautiful part of the world, ruined by Bryan Sh*tting Adams doing a set that seemed to last half the summer.

i attended in the company of a girl who loved Bryan Adams. we haven't spoken since. that was 12 years ago.

i hate Bryan Adams.

I agree with everything you said. But the organisation is dreadful.

As is Bryan Adams.

Latest stuff on the forums has the stones playing Slane castle next year - announcment tomorrow...Neil, any info?

Nothing that I can see, sure this isn't part of the 2007 rumour mill?

[incident]

All the reports I've seen say Bon Jovi are playing Slane.

Good - out of sight, out of mind.

Could well be, I just took it off the forum where someone had posted that Slane were holding a press conference tomorrow and linked to a site saying they believed it was the Stones. I'll try and find the link.

Theres a press conference tomorrow at 11am. Two concerts on next year it looks like. Two acts from Bon Jovi, The Stones and the Chili Peppers.

The Stones played in 2007 and the Chilis played it in 2003 after supporting U2 in 2002.

But I cant see them announcing the Stones when the Stones havent announced any other dates anywhere.

surely be bon jovi and stones, can't see chilis, they're dates didn't fly this year

[5co77ie]

Would Chilis be doing dates when Flea's with Atoms For Peace?

[gazza_20]

same could be said for Radiohead? But I'd say they could do one off(s) like that

[The Nal]

Muse or Greenday also mentioned as possible Slane headliners

[eFestivals]

nah, can't be the stones ... there'd be much more stuff flying around if the stones were going to announce more dates so soon.

Plus I can't see any dates next summer taking in Ireland. It really doesn't look like any further dates will be a full tour; it'll be dates in a few 'select' locations only I reckon.

Just to ask, if it was Green Day does that make T anymore likely? Especially if they announce Slane the same weekend at T next year?

[gazza_20]

i'd say the two most likely are Muse and Bon Jovi. Another site has Bon Jovi

[the wonderwhy]

Would be a bit awkward announcing Green Day considering todays news...

yup, it won't be them, but i didnt read that before mentioning it haha

[strummer77]

Pretty sure they played satisfaction in Paris.

My bad. The setlist I saw didn't have it on. Perhaps because they play it so much they didn't need to!

Well that's a Glasto shaped hole in the dates. And IOW too.

[The Nal]

The Jovi, Sunday night at Glasto?

[eFestivals]

Well that's a Glasto shaped hole in the dates. And IOW too.

Glasto haven't wanted the biggest cheese before. Not sure that they'd want any cheese large or small.

But I know that JBJ is desperate to play, but in a "I don't really understand why I'm desperate to play" sort of way that shows he doesn' know what it's about or why they might not want him.

[mike46]

JBJ? bloody hell I hope not. What an anti-climax that would be if he is announced ( I know, I know, there's plenty more to see and do, but come on. JBJ?!)

A lot better than Beyonce or Jay-Z.

[jimmyt]

Would they be acceptable in the, often mildly ironic, "Legends" slot? I'm certainly not touting them but I suppose it might be "fun" in the middle of the afternoon. JBJ has often reminded me of Shirley Bassey.

Could be HRC but wouldn't be the first time Glasto shared a big American act with HRC. So maybe!

[eFestivals]

that's just reminded me that I saw a TV advert the other day that uses .....!!! .... Hawkwind's 'Masters of the Universe'.
