Aerosmith in fairness.......would be amazing. Take them over Taylor 'broke up with yet another boyfriend so going to write 5 more shit albums' Swift

Most sense I have read in this thread for at least 110 pages

Did you create an account just to have a pop at Taylor?

Think we know who ‘I knew you were trouble’ was about now. Bitter much.

 

As much as she’s not my cup of tea, really good booking compared to some of the tosh that’s thrown around; and one that is unlikely to be repeated by the festival.

[Gnomicide]

Yeah, had enough of those big ballads.

Cryin', Dream On, What it Takes, Don't Want To Miss A Thing, Crazy, Amazing...

We've all had enough of Don't Want to Miss a Thing.

[FuzzyDunlop]

"I don't want to miss a thing" is a very annoying song. I much prefer this era

 

[zeppelin]

I'd happily have Aerosmith headline, but booking them as a sub would be outrageous. 

But yeah, ain't gonna happen.

Or Dream on is a great track from that era. In general they've got such a huge book of great tracks.

I Really don't care for I don't want to miss a thing either. I turn off the radio if it comes on. But take away that song and they'd hammer out a good set. 

However....its not going to happen. But a man can dream

[Quark]

Aye, Dream On is a doozy

[henry bear]

Been watching their 2017 Rio set. Would happily have them headline, Tyler’s still got a decent set of pipes and they do most of the hits. And a cheeky Fleetwood Mac cover to boot. 

[Mouseboy11]

Will they bring Eminem out for Dream On?

Nailed on.

Is he? What promoter would be OK with him having tickets to sell getting close to May/June and him already announced for Glastonbury?

(assuming the tour doesn't sell out)

They often do a Zepplin cover. Have released a Beatles cover in the past. Would be good stuff. Fitting is old Paul plays. Bring him out. Yeah i'm just day dreaming now

Eminem isn’t doing Wembley. The Wembley Twitter wasn’t suggesting he had dates booked.

Funnily enough it would be the 50th anniversary of Aerosmith next year

WHAT! Who’s putting money on Aerosmith? There 10/11 second favourites with Taylor dropping down to fourth on 5/4. Kendricks favourite on 4/6. How? as usual the odds mean nothing but it’s so strange. 
 

Emily has done a great job of putting the scent off Fleetwood Mac, could be a good time to get on them now at 6/1!

[Quark]

Blimey those Aersomith odds have gone a bit mental

[Gnomicide]

I guess Aerosmith would sort of fit in with Emily saying the act they'd booked hadn't been talked about.

But it's not going to happen.

 

[rubick]

eFests boardies once again trolling the bookies!

Wait to they hear about the Hanson booking.

She said that? With Aerosmith have their 50th anniversary too I'm starting to believe..

Isn't it?

I've no info about them, but I do think it's very odd how they've suddenly appeared in the betting - and with odds like that. It's strongly suggestive of someone thinking they know something (even if they've got duff info).

The fact it's their 50th too might be a link.

I can't really see them as headliners tho. I think they'd be more likely for the rock slot.

Would they do that though? 

They usually headline festivals when they play them to my knowledge, such as Download?

yup, but some bands are more suited to headline some festivals than others. I don't think a rock slot 3rd from top at Glasto would be wrong for them.

Whether they think it's wrong for them is another thing but I don't see it as impossible (tho I don't know how ego-driven they are). They're very well known of course, but they've never been stones-style mega in the UK, and they don't really stand up against today's newer (possible) headliners.

Aerosmith vs Foals?

No contest.
