Reckon you might be right.

It stops being an ironic booking if people actually go en masse. I'm not sure people are getting it.

they have got the date wrong for the Wed date at the O2 its the 22nd not 23rd

[Muppetmark]

looking at the dates... could he be doing IOW as well?

Where have you seen this? Would give me a bit more hope he's not doing it.

Wouldn't have thought so. The bloke doesn't do festivals to start with, so for him to do IOW before his own tour starts would be odd. 

 

If he's going to do anything, I think its the dreaded legend slot at G. Even though the tour ends on the Wednesday (Tuesday possibly?), he's notorious for doing TV shite around his tours. Did Strictly a year or so ago, one of many examples. So its not inconceivable that he'd do something like that and Glastonbury after the final date of the tour.

If BazzaM played the Pyramid I don't know what would be worse, the music or the constant "I love a bit of Mandy" jokes.

[Gnomicide]

Bryan Adams. Would be amazing.

Gone down a storm at Radio 2 in the Park by the looks of it. I see nothing but the same at Glastonbury.

[Avalon_Fields]

I thought Lionel wouldn't get much of a crowd this year, so it shows what I know. I suspect Wrong Bazza would also be a big draw.

I heard this the other week and actually found myself rather enjoying it as a piece of blue eyed soul:

Difficult to admit to: I've seen Manilow, about 20 years ago at the Manchester Arena, my wife loved him, he was better than I was prepared to accept at the time.

Great news

[The Nal]

Clapton

 

Clapton needs to play in some form

 

OR

 

We could have the Whitney hologram world tour

 

How weird is this as a concept? People paying to turn up and cheer on a projector.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The 'people turning up' part of that equation probably isn't a certainty tbf.

[Bort]

My mother emailed me earlier about Manilow playing. Guess that rumor is really out there.

[matt2007]

Can someone remind me when we heard about Lionel last year, was it close to the ticket day or after?

[Zoo Music Girl]

It was November bizarrely enough. End of. I know because I was on my way back from visiting my Lionel loving friend in Zurich and we'd joked about him maybe playing Glasto only hours before.

Seems to be a new tradition for getting the legends announced early. Dolly was too I believe. Although not as early as Lionel.

[dentalplan]

Dolly Parton was announced while the NME Awards was going on wasn't it? Because Emily had spoken to a lot of press about it and an official statement soon followed. Didn't get the video message that Foos did though.

 

Lionel was on a Sunday in November, the day before IOW's scheduled announcement of Fleetwood Mac. I don't know if that was coincidence or not considering Eavis and Giddings said there was rivalry for the Mac booking.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though he wasn't really rumoured beforehand, was he?

Dolly was deemed a shoe in due to her tour dates, but with The Chin it was more of a case of Glasto stealing a march on everyone.

[iamthehorn]

My mom is a Barry Manilow fanatic.  He was the first, second, third, fourth and probably fifth concert I ever saw.  Like clockwork, every summer he'd come to Detroit, and every summer we'd go.  This strikes me as a good omen for scoring tickets for my first Glastonbury.

 

I definitely have a legitimate appreciation for his work, although some of the shows I've seen as an adult have been kinda rough.  He can't quite move (his hips or his facial muscles) the way he used to.  

[Fladog]

N.W.A, with some sort of hologram for eazy E.................................................

[CaledonianGonzo]

The only artificially recreated facsimile of an entertainment phenomenon that you'll be staring at will be Barry Manilow's Face.

[The Nal]

Ice Cube will do!

[CaledonianGonzo]

The only rigid, icy to the touch performance you'll be staring at will be the one given by Barry Manilow's Face.

What about Elton's hair? Is it time to put away the meerkat costumes?

[The Nal]

Elton is too busy talking to Putin these days.

 

When I say Putin, I of course mean someone pretending to be Russian.

 

Maybe this guy.

 

[Untz]

Those Compare the Market meerkats are Russian, aren't they? It's all coming together nicely, move over Baz.

[CaledonianGonzo]

What about Elton's hair? Is it time to put away the meerkat costumes?

Nothing would make me happier than to see a sea of meerkats afore the Pyramid, genuflecting in front of a giant scrapmetal Mutoid Mufasa.

As it stands, if #WrongBarry is playing then its botox injections all round to form a frozen-faced tribute to His Imperial Inexpressiveness.

My formative experience of #wrongbazza was this
