I suppose  Dry Your Eyes and Fit But You Know It were iconic songs when I was growing up and I'm only 21, they're certainly not as distant a memory as some of the bands who've been cashing in on a reunion nobody wanted (*cough* Bros *cough*)

Aye but it's less about 'remembering' and actually knowing about it. It was a while ago and you probably had to be aware at the time. I dunno tho, not really sure of their impact.

Been trying to work it out for weeks! My initial thoughts were the likes of Latitude and Bestival, surely reunion hype would boost them to get some decent billings but would they be big enough to headline?

Seems like a weird IOW booking to me - could see them being offered as high as sub there (and they'd be a damn sight stronger than this years subs too)

Wireless? 

Come to think about it, they wouldn't actually be so out of place at any of these. I could imagine it being R+L - they've engineered and promoted weird reunions like Alexisonfire before so I'm not sure it's outside of their capabilities. Shame that they most likely wouldn't hit Glastonbury though, that'd be some good fun.

Bestival would make a lot of sense I think.

[Hugh Jass]

Bestival or maybe headlining the second stage at Reading/Leeds would be my guess.

Foo Figthers just posted this, teasing a new European tour

Mike and Leo are apparently not on good terms, there was a public row when the latter turned up on The Voice

Would Leo really need to be involved? I'm not so sure. 

If it were happening, I'd bet on it being at Parklife

I think he's out, not doing anything back to back so probably only Sunday if at all.

Obviously he'll add more dates when the initial ones sell out. Think he'll sub The Nice Man Who Runs if he turns up but not expecting him to, he hasn't been rebooked in 20 years and there's no discernible reason why that would change this time.

Can't read anything into the no back to back shows as that tour schedule is clearly built with gaps for 2nd nights to be added in certain cities. Although I think it's near certain that any extra London date would be added on the Saturday or Sunday, which would effectively rule him out.

I don't think Glastonbury would be interested in booking him. Most of his target audience is women in their forties, the type who wouldn't consider going to Glastonbury (or anyother music festival) in a million years.

[Amy Lawn]

Pyramid Sunday

Robbie Williams
Morrissey
KD Lang
Ratko Mladic (Legends' slot)
Terry Christian
Mark Lamarr
Stewart Lee

True.

Excellent work!  Possibly Pyramid Stage 4/5 down, assuming it's with Prophets of Rage?

I'll be there with bells on

[FloorFiller]

Well there's me proven wrong in thinking they would t be booked

Was thinking more like Other sub myself, but I'll be there regardless - great booking

Do you think they could headline West Holts? I reckon either there, Other sub or 3/4th down on the Pyramid

[Gnomicide]

Hoping for headline West Holts, never seen a headliner there before.

I guess it's a possibility but they strike me more as a main stage (Pyramid or Other) act rather than on WH. Guess they could even take the Friday hip hop slot

Prophets of Rage > Iggy Pop > Bon Iver or The xx > Radiohead would do me on the Friday/is my new prediction

Wonderful place to watch a headliner. Sound system and crowd were spot on last year.

[Ipayne]

Great news if Prophets of Rage are playing! Have been indecisive whether I would have paid to see them if they toured so this is perfect.

This is great news.

[FloorFiller]

Actually they could even take the Motörhead/ZZ Top 'heavy' act slot Friday on the Pyramid if that is an actual thing they're gonna run with
