Adele

Wouldn't she work better as a Park guest on Saturday afternoon.

once word got out that Adele was at the Park people would get trampled to death. she'll be a Pyramid headliner or nothing

[russycarps]

yet another awful shouty female singer with infantile lyrics. Sounds exactly like an xfactor winner.

The massive record sales just confirm she's shit, as the record buying general public are cretins.

And let's not forget her charming social conscience:

"the Rolling in the Deep singer said, "I'm mortified to have to pay 50%! [While] I use the NHS, I can't use public transport any more. Trains are always late, most state schools are shit, and I've gotta give you, like, four million quid – are you having a laugh? When I got my tax bill in from [the album] 19, I was ready to go and buy a gun and randomly open fire."

Really? Pulp and Radiohead have managed it, she surely isnt more popular than them....

Strongly agree - hit the nail right on the head there.

What an absolute twat.

And yes, I wouldn't use record sales as an indicator of a good headliner. The Daily Mail and Sun are easily the most read newspapers in the country after all.

[The Nal]

Wouldn't be there myself but the field would be jammed if she played. Shes more than popular enough to headline.

[willutalk]

Who would actually go to see her ? I personally wouldn't, unless if there would be literally no one worth seeing elsewhere.

[neil999]

im not a fan, but a mass singalong to 'someone like you' would be quite impressive and would be quite a 'moment' i guess...

Middle aged women mostly from what I can tell

I think you can question if she would be decent or not, having not really done any big shows like this would be but she would pull a massive crowd no question about it.

[The Nal]

Big enough?! She has sold 40 million albums in 5 years or something?

[kalifire]

Unless she releases a new album before next year, she'd be headlining off her sales figures. She'd have released a grand total of 20 new songs in seven years, and her last album would be four years old. Her window has passed and I understand that she has massive stage fright, but in my opinion she's just not credible enough to headline years later off the back of sales figures.

Adele?! Christ on a bike! She is the sort of crap you buy your mother for Christmas when she asks for her one cd she wants a year! Next it will be Robson and Jerome!

[billum]

She is very likely to release her new album before next June - it was going to be out before Christmas and has been delayed, but will prob be out first half of 2015 unless she's choosing to re-record every song (er, again....!)

[billum]

the Daily Star will publish any old made up bollocks nowadays if they think it'll get them some readers.

Credible enough to stick it on the rumours page though - or has some supporting evidence emerged as well?

If, big if, she tours, I'm sure she'd have a new album out, and it'll be huge. But besides that, she's massive. All those that bought her last album have never heard it performed, and that's a large number people. It's what the pyramid stage is for, a big stage for big artists, not just heavy ones. Their will be tonnes of people in the field, and that field is gigantic. The viewing figures would be enormous.

A rumour's a rumour.

[neil999]

She is no less or more credible than quite a few of the recent headliners..

At this stage, last year's leaks notwithstanding, I doubt there's anything much to go on at all, so I'm even taking eFests rumours page with a pinch of salt until we get into the new year.

[fatyeti24]

Now now, no need to be rude, yeti.

You dirty chauvinist.

rumours get put on the rumours page unless there's something else to prove them wrong.

It might do, but won't get SR unless you make a lucky guess.

[fatyeti24]

My comment was sizeist, not chauvinist.

If you'd have said what you said about Meat Loaf, I'd have made the same 'joke.'

You're right, I apologise and retract the accusation of chauvinism. It would weigh heavily on my conscience to mislabel someone in such a fatuous manner.

Good point there's not a lot of space to get out of there is there? I suppose they could take a bit of fence down though just to get people out quickly..... Edited October 20, 2014 by jeffie
