Better than Run DMC I reckon

Some of plan b stuff is alright. All very strange though.

[MistahParker]

Prefer him to be honest

[SloopJohnB]

Does anyone else get the sinking feeling that Run DMC will return next year??

[Pooly JP]

I’ll be more likely to catch some of Plan b than I ever was of Run DMC but will likely still be elsewhere while he’s on.

A scheduling clash? Seems really odd that no one realised until now

[LOCHLAND5]

Ive been dropping hints on this for days I think it’s a positive step ! Plan b has some great singalong tunes

[Wilson86]

Wonder if its anything to do with the deal with the Hammersmith Apollo who have been advertising their gig there as a one off exclusive UK show. Was looking forward to them, which I know is in the minority, wish they got another old school hip hop act to replace them, but at short notice I can see why they had to make do with Plan B.

Seen plan b before the roses at Heaton Park. A few years ago but he went down quite well. Funnily enough the wailers were also on that day.

If....the original announcement had been Catfish, plan b, Libertines I’m not sure everyone would have been happy.

Might see him might not. Not the most adventurous booking to replace the Saturday night headliner in my opinion.

Probably better than Run dmc to be fair.

Who else is even touring at the minute who's the right size?

Chemical Brothers?

 

Perhaps best to not go there with this thread......getting anyone at a weeks notice is good going. I’m certainly not going to be critical of any last minute necessity.....i still question Run DMC in the first place though

Not sure of schedules but the Prodigy or The Streets would have been a good replacement. Run DMC headlining the Saturday night was a bit of a let down from the start (sub-headliner would have been fine) but Plan B is just a bit meh.

No that's exactly my point, it's always going to be a struggle this late on.

If sheds had been promoted to headliner and plan b as sub I would have been quite happy I will give him half hour which is half hour more than run dmc was getting all we need now is Lucy spraggan to realise she's got a hair appointment so can't make it and miles kane takes her place now that would make me happy

It’s got to be something like this...I guess we may never know the reason this has come to light so late in the day

[neil_clarky]

scheduling clash probably means they got offered a shedload of money for a private gig somewhere... Personally I'd much rather see Plan B, was enjoyable at Glastonbury 2011 even though I don't really know his stuff

[Comfy Bean]

Just given plan b half an hour on YouTube. Some decent tunes. Didn’t realise he had new music out. 

I reckon I’ll give him a go.

[Max Northern]

I’m perfectly happy with Plan B, will probably make more of an effort to see him than I would have with Run DMC.

Did no one check the Run DMC wall planner??

[Baby On A Stick]

Seen suggestion that they just move James up, but wonder if it was they had a (excuse me being old here and my terminology) 'Rap/ hip hop' artist and wanted to replace with similar. They tend to have one night that isn't guitar/ indie music, which is fair play. Wasn't that bothered about Run DMC but would have maybe seen how it started. 

Seen Plan B a few times, Strickland Banks era (which is a great album) so should be ok (in MHO) but doubt they'd have piked him when they first sorted it. 

Guess he'd be cheaper but he could maybe charge a premium for late notice? Could we ask for a 40p refund????
