You can probably lock in the Steve Tyler guest slot with Macca as well.

Yes!!! I love their cover of Live and Let Die!

As much as I can't think of anything I've ever been less interested in, this seems fairly impressive work 

Sums up my feelings fairly well, good booking and I had no idea that there were that many people still interested in seeing these guys. Not a diss on you all, they're just one of those bands I've never clicked with nor wish to. 

Does anyone else find it slightly odd that the majority of the tour dates are exactly three days apart? Not sure I've seen such rigidity in a tour line up before (other than a long string of consecutive nights).

music week nme has just quoted the glasto thingy which is referencing what's been posted in this thread. :lol: 

https://www.nme.com/news/music/aerosmith-confirm-glastonbury-slot-as-they-announce-2020-uk-tour-2584568

The more press it gets the more likely it will be that Glasto HQ will confirm it.

[DMCJ2]

Anyone got any idea of how much tickets for the London/manc dates will cost? Guessing probably a lot

I wonder if we'll get official confirmation today?

I'm thinking we might not, as they have UK shows to sell.

I'd agree, but it didn't matter for Diana Ross.

So subbing Macca if the Saturday reports are true? Can’t see them on the other at the same time. 

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Would this be the biggest name Sub in the festivals history? (I'm a relative glasto newbie with only 2016 to my name)

Honest to God when that harmonica comes out on Cryin' it's party time at the Pyramid.

If anybody thinks they are playing against Macca they are mad. Steven Tyler loves The Beatles and they cover them all the time in their live shows.

Globally, I'd say yes.

I wonder if they'll get longer than an hour? I hope so.

Next to Roger Waters in 2002?

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's certainly the funniest. I've gone slightly giddy at the idea of it.

Don't subs usually get about 75 mins anyway...

But I could totally see them getting a full show's worth. It's going back a few years but when Page and Plant did it, they had 2+ hours, so not unprecedented.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They were on a Sunday afternoon mind.

[The Red Telephone]

Best sub since The Fratellis in 2008 ?

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

I'm so excited about this!!

Outside of the hits, which one song would folk like to hear?

Mine would be 'Stop Messin' Around'

If they were, they might have to drop one of the artists that day. Macca is more than likely gonna get 2 - 2 and a half hours. So you're looking at 4 hours (hour half for Aerosmith) without the set up time between 3rd/sub and then again between sub/headliner (which is normally an hour. Aerosmith would have to start at like 6:30 for all that to make sense.

Yeah I’m hardly a fan but think it’ll be a right laugh. One of those bands I’d never in a million years choose to see in any other circumstance, really, and they’ve got a nice hour of certified crowd pleasers in them for sure.

Where else do you have to be on a Saturday night.

The biggest bobo honk in Glastonbury history.

I'd like to think at the best festival on the planet there'd be something better to do than live it up whilst they go down. Maybe Aerosmith will be the perfect drunken singalong warm up for his Macca-ness but honestly I'm underwhelmed by the prospect.

[The Red Telephone]

Steve Tyler bringing down the average age of confirmed acts down to 74

[CaledonianGonzo]

I am here for some Toxic Twins bangers.

Then fucknuts to join Macca - but for I'm Down rather than Helter Skelter.

I mean, a lot of people (myself included) were pretty convinced it was gonna be Noel pre-Macca, and last time it was Black Eyed Peas. Think we’ve done pretty damn well all things considered.

Can't fail to be a better warm up than Primal Scream were for the Stones.

Party central at the Pymild.

It wouldn't be a Glasto Scream gig if it wasn't a bit of a shambles. Its tradition.

I was told a couple of months back that he was probably headlining from someone who would know and I have no reason to doubt them.  Seeing them again in a couple of weeks so will let you know if there has been any change.

It seems he must be playing Sunday or Friday then. Headlining the Other makes sense if you're right. 

[Giraffe Man]

What a coup for the festival, I wonder if Lars had a word in their ear, not much will keep me from a massive Pyramid singalong. When you look at Kendrick, Diana Ross, Macca, Swifty & Aerosmith as good as confirmed already (4 from the US) it shows the pulling power of Glastonbury.

 

Tickets looking good value too, how much would it cost to see just these 5?

Congratulations Emily & Michael.
