Hugh Jass Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 When I got married I welcomed song requests for the day and the evening disco. My aunt requested Budapest, I almost uninvited her. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggins Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Ezra is a festival friend isn't he, so I'd imagine he'll be around for a big sing-a-long on the Pyramid. I saw him before an XX secret set on BBC Intro years ago, so he feels like the type of 'he started at the bottom' type story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufcok Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) The Strokes will 100% play a major UK festival of some sorts as part of the European part of their '2019 Global Comeback', be bizarre if they didn't. Just whether that's gonna be Glastonbury or not... Edited January 24, 2019 by mufcok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 If we end up with Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure, I honestly think it could be argued that IOW has a better set of headliners. All good for us chumps in club resale though I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Kendall would be too small for them. APE doesn't fit their schedule. BST are unlikely to have them back after last time... Only viable alternatives could be Rize (if that's even still a thing), TRNSMT (which wouldn't stop them playing elsewhere) or a one off gig somewhere like Finsbury Park.

Agreed, TRNSMT seems the only other viable option but as you say that wouldn't stop anything unless they try tie them down to UK exclusive. The more I think about it as they drip feed these European festival headline slots, I can't see them taking anything other than a Pyramid headline slot.

Why would bst not want them back? Didn’t they have to reduce tickets to £2.50. I’m kinda worried it’s gonna be like arctic monkeys last year where trnsmt ended up being the only uk festival they did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several bits of info pointing to them doing APE, with some of them even coming after it became apparent it wouldn't fit in with their tour schedule. Think it's Glasto plus either APE or nothing else.

I think BST has shifted towards things that are guaranteed to sell - heritage rock acts and pop superstars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Something I'd forgotten about that BST gig was that I'd picked up a load of tickets for £2.50 then I actually won another 4 in a radio competition (my suspicion was that there were a few winners that day). Sold the four to a tout for about 30 quid, which paid for my ticket and beer that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
