Well, I for one are delighted at the news
I Didn't get a Glasto ticket this year and if he does elsewhere eg BST, then at least I can buy a ticket
Appropos BST didn't he nearly pull from that last time until the site sponsorship - Barclaycard?? - was withdrawn? So where does that leave NY vs BST this year?
Is anyone likely to put on a NY gig rather than him being included within an established "festival"? Or do we think it will be a festival.
Given how closely guarded the secret of a setlist can be, it's still a bit of an odd one.
Maybe it's because there's still a bunch of credible contenders who could take top spot on Saturday night, but the more I think about it, the more the only party with egg on their face appears to be Young.
Maybe playing a 2 hour set on prime time TV put him off and he found an excuse? Really can't see BBC demands being a thing as he would have known surely from the start the BBC were broadcasting it and the director would need the set list ahead of time. Very basic ask. Anyway, I was looking forward to it but always something else to do.
