BST in Hyde Park 2014

[the wonderwhy]

I might not be part of BST, if it happens.

[giantwagon]

Hope that if this happens, it's on the 5th, not the 11th

I thought that BST had the licensed number of hyde park shows

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

further confirmation prince pulled out?

[atomised]

Pretty sure the overall license was dropped to 6

You beat me to it

AEG Live do, BST is just one of their events. I can't remember if the licence got reduced to six or if they're allowed more.

Edit: It was reduced to six gigs, three with 50,000 capacity & three with 65,000. Of course they could just have Libs in June & then nothing going on for one of the BST days, if they really wanted.

[the wonderwhy]

Pete did say July though.

[Muppetmark]

How could he pull out of something he was never signed up to play in the first place?

[dentalplan]

Prince probably wasn't ever lined up for Hyde Park or Glastonbury. But you're right about it being quite late to say four days are already announced.

[TheSeventhOne]

He wasn't announced for Hop Farm until late May.

[the wonderwhy]

Carl reportedly said the 5th last night, although I have some trouble believing that

[the wonderwhy]

aaaaaaand that's blown up on twitter...

[kingcrawler]

I seem to remember the website that's claiming it's true also said Oasis would be reforming for a stadium tour this summer, so I'm not believing it quite yet.

[the wonderwhy]

I think the 11th is far more likely, considering Pete's in Belgium on the 6th

[The Placid Casual]

I'd be gutted if it was the 11th, I can't make that date

[atomised]

The 11th is more likely when you consider the Belgium gig..... But......when has something as insignificant as another gig been enough to stop Mr Doherty from changing his plans

[dentalplan]

Seems weird that they've probably knocked back dozens of lucrative requests and the band haven't spoken in months, suddenly Pete gets a phonecall and Carl is in too the same day. Saturday 5th would be nice for me if I can manage to get anyone thinking about Sabbath too - suppose it's unlikely I'll go to either though unfortunately.

[the wonderwhy]

I'm wondering if Pete was the last piece of the puzzle & the had Carl and everything sorted before (hence why it appears everything has been organised quite late) although I have no idea how promoters approach this sort of thing, especially with a difficult band like The Libertines.

I think there's probably an element of truth in the reports from last night (I mean, come on Carl plays a DJ set the same day the rumour breaks and NOBODY questions him?) but the words and the manner in which they came out have probably been massively twisted.

[The Placid Casual]

It wouldn't surprise me if Pete cancelled his Babyshambles date for this

I'm not bothered about what day it is as I can go to both. Would prefer the 5th as I have to go back to Sixth forum after my exams but I'm sure that if it was on the 11th I may feel under the weather
