Thats all on Dave pretty much. He needs routine and consistency, so this is part of it.  Martin obviously can bust out some other stuff if he chooses for his section. But theyve had times when they had to swtich it up quite a bit.    Festival sets pretty much get rid of the new album material on any cycle and they will just play everything else so that wouldnt even be a concern if they did play Glasto. Theyre still not doing it it though. Last year was the year.

Yeah more like MB 

Im thinking he was gonna announce his tour and it would have that convenient gap in it so there would be  assumptions would be made. So he pretty much got ahead of that by saying ''sorry, im out''.   Still funny he thinks the BBC owns the fest. Although theyre a really important part of it now or these artists wouldnt be playing for sh*t without tv exposure.

the stealth is because its useful. Charging your phone, mobile reception, logistics stuff is how nobody notices. Cant have a barclay card vip area and such or else they think you lost the plot.   and again, they price it to barely keep the lights on and arent willing to create new revenue streams which will pay dividends in the future. 

I do find it odd that he decided to say something, given that he hadn't been announced. It's not like he's doing so to take a stand against something morally objectionable, like when he protested about Barclaycard being a sponsor for BST due to their involvement with fossil fuels. Wishful thinking, but perhaps he's hoping that by putting the statement out there, he'll be offered revised terms and play after all. I can but dream...
