You’d be gutted if you were still in the bar as she came on...

I know that festival cannot and should not place any mandates over what their artists actually perform up on stage, but surely any booking of Madge has to be on the understanding that she brings the hits.

If she brings that shit she'll have an empty field for her encore.

no chance that Kendrik has fallen through and she's going for Madge for 2020 ? ... has she been ruled out by her dates ? 

[august1]

It would be the ultimate we'll give her one more song and if its not a hit..

[Memory Man]

2020 is clearly booked by now but maybe madge could be in the frame for 2021

or alternatively emily is using her industry connections to get to see a living legend in a reasonably sized london theatre for free. not like this stuff happens every day.

Just imagine standing up on that stage knowing that you have Like A Virgin, Hung Up, Holiday, Express Yourself, Papa Don’t Preach, Material Girl, Ray of Light and plenty more in your arsenal... then choosing not to break any of them out.

[WestCountryGirl]

At least she opened with Vogue. Whenever I consider the possibility of Madge headlining Glasto I just can't imagine anything better to start the set than that.

She'd have an empty field by the middle of the set. Reckon it would rival the Great Mumford Migration of 2013

[henry bear]

Her European tour ends in March and seemingly has no dates beyond that

Apparently the gig started an hour late so "Act I" was cut to meet the curfew. Act I contained God Control, Dark Ballet, Human nature and Express Yourself (A Capella) the night before.

It sounds like Act I being cut just saved the audience a little more pain (and no bangers)

A blessing in disguise?

Is it true even the sons migrated ?

Fuck it, just book her as the 3rd headliner:

When is Madonna gonna realise that playing most of your new album in lieu of a lot of your hits only works when that new album is good and/or liked. I’m sure she had a lot of theatrics to go along with it, but there must’ve been a hell of a lot of pissed off people at these shows just waiting for something they recognise or care about.

I’m pretty sure the only people seeing her now are her hardcore fan base, all of whom will think her last album is the best thing going. If she was play in a stadium for £50 a ticket you might have a point. But she’s playing in a theatre where tickets cost hundreds. Besides, didn’t her last album get to number one in the UK and US?

I don’t think chart positions mean much. Madonna is one of those artists who will get a #1 with every release. Week one all her fans buy it and send it to the top then it plummets back down the chart.

Three hundred quid - started an hour late and no bangers?

Mental.

To you and I, perhaps.

To her hardcore fans who see every tour - a friend of mine (and fellow efester) went - being so close to Her Madgeness is its own reward.

It's funny how Kendrick Lamar isn't really mentioned outside of this forum, not by the bookies, papers, other forums etc. They're all talking about Guns 'n' Roses, 1975, Arctics and a few others.

Now, I know Neil has a fantastic track record and the bookies...err... don't.  Fully aware of all that.

BUT, I'm just not really feeling this one, at no point has it seemed to me that people are right about KL for some reason, and not just because I'm not a fan.
