Sky bet have also stopped taking bets all together again! Probs nothing but can speculate like everyone else!

Posted this other day, yes betting is no definitive to go on and yes she’s like 8/1 now, but wondering if has any substance?

( don’t shoot me down, only guessing like everyone) I’m just an excited glasto debuter this year! ?

[Jake9502]

She’s 5/2 down from 8/1 sky bet

I'm in my 30's and would happily see Madge, she's one of the biggest and most influential acts on the planet, why wouldn't you?

I'm sure there'll be a bunch of lads with guitars playing proper music on another stage for you to enjoy.

I think the bookies just move the odds to encourage betting. I would guess the markets are so small that even a few quid could cause the odds to fall rapidly.

Usually just if someone chucks a tenner on it, they know nowt usually

there's currently a lot of rumours about a new album.

There is, and it's presumably forthcoming at some point.  Question would be whether this (supposed) Wembley date is part of a more protracted album campaign or is tee'd up as a bit of fun in advance of a more specific tour.

Depends on the lead times.  I guess an album release in the spring / tour kicking off in the summer isn't completely impossible at this stage.

I used to set odds for a bookmaker and all odds changes on markets like this are down to people placing money on them and nothing else. In cases like this one a couple of bets at £10 a pop would be enough to bring it down.

Madonna’s odds coming down will be because a few people have placed a bet based on us talking about it on here.

yep, it's about them running the book profitably, and not about who's going to be playing.

She still has the potential to terrify and exhilarate. Either this year or next it really should happen. She's remarkable.

i didn't think they had, tho i've forgotten more than i remember now.

On before Amazulu, General Public and Elvis Costello.

[henry bear]

So, two of the three acts Emily said wouldn’t be playing are still rumoured. Next up Led Zeppelin.

Madonna has 30-odd absolute haymakers in her locker.

Agreed

get into the groove as you sit in the long drops at the back of the pyramid field would be nice

[zico martin]

No point having 30 something stone cold classics if she's either not gonna play them or just do a wee mash up /medley with them though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Even if she only plays 10 it's still 10 more than Kasabian conjured up.

Easy target, I guess. But they know how to pick a setlist to give the best show they can, and they did.

Was thinking about that proposition re. The Strokes.  Last Night really is the only song that has a life outside of their fanbase.

Someday is on an advert at the minute

 

[SwedgeAntilles]

A Madonna set with only 10 classics would bomb like fk tbf. If she were to drop a greatest hits set however it would be pretty special. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

The thing with Madonna's arsenal of bops is that they are spread out throughout her career.  She's not just dependent on her first couple of records.  No-one would object to a couple of newish singles - it's the slews of album tracks that fuck thinhs up.

Says in Johnny Marrs book that the Smiths headlined 

[KeithRichardsWavedAtMe]

The Smiths didn't headline, someone I've never heard of did instead
