So has Lythum Fest too. 

Add Lolla Paris and I-Days Milan to the list. They don‘t usually have crossover for the big acts do they?

I thought halestorm were a decent support

I don't think they're bad! But I'm reminded of Metallica having Ghost the other year, for example, a band very much themselves with an arena pull to some extent.

 

This being said, hearing a lot of neutral chatter from folk I know interested in that London Stadium show. Reckon that a few will hang fire too until Glastonbury's sale has been and gone, and then may plump for it as a consolation.

I prefer Halestorm to Ghost so.

Halestorm don't have the corpse of the Pope playing a sax solo, which is a mark against them next to Ghost, alas.

 

But it's more reflective of size. Ghost were on the verge of becoming an arena band at that point. I'm not sure, a one-off at Wembley Arena aside, Halestorm have that pull across the rest of the UK to compare.

 

Alter Bridge wouldn't have been a bad shout, had Creed not taken priority.

Yea size wise you are correct. Creed however would have been the one.

I mean, if Maiden had booked a tour with Creed supporting, you would have not seen me home for many a week.

No I would have made sure I booked a date.

Another rumour from the boards of Greasy Lake, but remaining Bruce Springsteen dates for Europe - to accompany the four shows rearranged after he fell ill in Sunderland (like many people before him) - are reportedly due to launch the first week of October.

 

Not sure on what had been rumoured from a British perspective outside of Anfield, mind you. Cannot see there being more than a dozen extra shows as well - it's the third summer straight in Europe.

 

I'd also honestly expected him to drop AU/NZ shows before then. Possibly a February run down under.

Sting's tour probably rules him out - although the Sunday is worryingly free

Sadly i don't see him doing 3 in a row so I think he's out. He's got 1 occasion I think of last tour when he played 3 dates, 2 in miami and the atalanta. I guess Cardiff the day before though is the kinda of area that makes him possible.

Alanis Morisette confirmed in the UK the week after the G.

Let's have a Sunday of Cher, Alanis, Sting, whoever tops it.

Simple Minds and Texas have a co-headliner as one of the Lytham shows.

 

I'd be well over a full tour for that. Thirty years next year since Simple Minds played in '95 too, no?

 

Get 'em in as Other openers or that nice mid-afternoon slot on the Saturday for Pyramid.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Out of that IOW poster I reckon Teddy Swims is the one that could also pop up at Pilton.

Nah she could definitely do it

She did 2 o2 nights in 2022, can 100% do BST i reckon. stick a strong support under her if they are worried

Sold out two dates at the O2 last time out. Definitely has enough juice to do BST.

Jeez, i dont want to slag other festivals cos im sure people will have fun, but thats an absolutely dreadful IoW lineup and i'd watch 2/3 at the very most - actively avoiding most of the rest. Was pencilling it in for 2026 as an alternative volunteering experience, so them getting a dreadful year out of the way might clear the decks for something approaching acceptable the year after 😄

There are 5 I'd watch but none of them are going to get me really excited to see them. All acts I've seen a few times before and enjoyed (some immensely) but.. yeah, the juices aren't flowing.

 

Horrific to see the re-emergence of Clean Bandit.
