Acts Touring Around Glastonbury Time 2015

[smileyp123]

Neil Diamond has 2 dates in Ireland confirmed the week after Glastonbury, so surely his nailed on to play Glasto.

[sinhala]

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - with a mahoosive Glasto-shaped hole in the middle - surely nailed on for Sunday PM slot ?

Manchester Arena - 26 Jun 2015
London Royal Albert Hall - 29 & 30
Birmingham LG Arena - 02 July 2015
Bournemouth BIC - 03

Id say from those dates Saturday is more likely if any - they're getting on a bit 3 nights on the trot would be less likely.

Foo fighters just announced Wembley Stadium dates for the weekend before Glastonbury...

oh god no

[5co77ie]

oh god no

Foo Fighters have to date not officially announced any shows at Wembley Stadium

[kalifire]

Could Derren Brown possibly fit in anywhere?

I'd love it, but I don't see how, given his act wouldn't really work with all the milling about he'd get from a festival crowd.

[Mezhyp1]

was surprised Sharon Van Etton wasn't at Glasto this year so I expect her to be playing next year

She's just announced a handful of UK shows for April 2015

making a 3rd appearance? I think it's likely:

Certainly seems likely. Pyramid sub/3rd down?

[FloorFiller]

saw him at Wireless and whilst he has all the songs to get the crowd going, performance wise it was poor, with a lot of on stage antics and holding the mic out to the crowd to mask the fact that he can't really sing (or rap) well at all. wouldn't surprise me to see him booked though as obviously a big crowd pleaser

[dentalplan]

Third down is pretty fair. He played third down at T and all the subs played lower than sub at Glastonbury, and I don't assume he's more popular with the Glastonbury audience than T either.

Pretty good booking if they do make it though. His mug plastered all over the coverage would be good for following years.

[Justiceforcedave]

I'd say he's a Pyramid Sub. If Scissor Sisters, Dizzie Rascal, Elbow sub. Pharell probably does as well.

[dentalplan]

Are those four similar or something?

at the times of subbing i don't think any of those acts were as big as Pharrell is now, although i'd hope he'd take third as sub would be wasted on him and his pantomime live show

Oh right. I kinda see the point but I think Pharrell's size might be being overstated because of the sheer domination he's taken over TV and radio and stuff. His album did well and all that but I don't believe this tour flew out (I was constantly seeing competitions and ads for his shows, which I know is a fairly small marker but it's something) and I just think he's generally not as popular with people old enough to go to gigs. Like I said before about T in the Park, he got a third down slot when Ed Sheeran, Paolo Nutini and Jake Bugg subbed, and that was off the back of a strong 2013. I don't think he's a clear shot sub but I guess he could do it.

No no it wouldn't be good Glastonbury is doing quite fine without more people wanting to go, especially people who think his performences are worthwhile. (A shame, as he does have a couple of decent songs.)

Thanks for elaborating. That was my point

Taylor Swift is playing Hyde Park on Saturday 27th June. Nailed on.

TAYLOR SWIFT AND ROBBIE WILLIAMS PINCH ME

[al_coholic]

Where would Taylor Swift play though? 3rd down on the Pyramid on Friday early evening. Wasn't that the Lily Allen slot this year.

Robbie Williams would be a disaster. He believes he is more popular than he is

She'd headline unless Eavis could bargain a sub.

He believes that he can sell out stadiums and does sell out stadiums?
