Yet again, nobody said that. In the context of Glastonbury they're not headlining, but they've got a very dedicated fanbase outside of that that'll easily sell this out.

No they didn’t.  K pop is massive, it’s just not for a festival like Glastonbury with their clientele

Early June in the states but still

Well there's something, apologies @Suprefan, I never thought these would be something like Hyde Park. I thought Hyde Park more aimed for middle aged middle class folk.

They've done "pop" stuff in the past (Little Mix were booked during the pandemic, for instance) but primarily it's settled into older artists with older fanbases, which seems like a decent business model since it always seems to sell well. Younger stuff like Blackpink that could easily do a couple of nights at the O2 is a no brainer to book though.

Its all good. Fair play, thats how the internet is. Its going to  sell out fairly quick on top of that. Once they realize its entirely GA its going to be insanity. I will guarantee you there will be kids sleeping somewhere in Hyde for a week before hand to be first inside. And some will sneak in other ways. Def predicting fence jumpers. 
 

Bst has had Taylor do it, hows that aimed at older folk btw.

Yeah I thought they were just gonna book big legacy acts and Mum & Dad favourites for the future. Certainly worked well for them in recent years. When they book something different like Kendrick it doesn't sell so well.

In fairness, I think @Suprefan has got all the BST names correct so far. The final one predicted was Take That. How confident are you of that one?

I'm not saying they only have acts aimed at older folks, but they have been leaning into it as of recent time. Springsteen, Elton, Stones, Pearl Jam etc.

The normal BST source said all the names plus Adele, Take That, Elton John and still trying to get Taylor

No one has said that, BST sold out Wembley stadium 3 years ago.

I'd argue they are moving more towards younger acts if anything. Not rapidly and its not going to turn into wireless but its moving that way

I don't think so, I do think they have a couple of younger acts each year though.

2020 was just an anomaly if anything it seems. Theres a few this year but not 4/6 like in 2020.

Do you make shit up specifically to cause arguments?

Really don't want to pick feathers about a throwaway comment I made about the target demographic about BST but look at 2019, 2018. This year is Bruce, Elton (rumoured), BP, Pink, Billy Joel. Hardly aiming for millennials

Neil just mentioned Taylor Swift looks to be a goer in the BST thead, which would make it seven shows booked out of a likely nine - two nights apiece for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and P!nk, plus single shows for Billy Joel, Blackpink and Taylor Swift.

That would leave... two?
