Indeed, though as much as I'd love them to play again I'm doubtful as they haven't got any live dates scheduled at all in 2020, nor any new releases in the pipeline.

 

I would love for my doubts to be proved wrong though

They've been announced for Best Kept Secret in the middle of June so are definitely active in Europe around Glastonbury.

They're only being discussed because they're confirmed for Best Kept Secret next June. So are active.

I reckon it's hugely unlikely. The timing doesn't fit, and they insist on their full fee from what Michael said to me about a decade ago.

And the poster says it's the 'only european shows of 2020'

Massive Attack doing their Mezzanine XXI show at glasto in a post brexit/no deal brexit/ non brexit would be one of the most ideal things to do. Need to have somebody like them make their statement on a big platform. Against Taylor Swift thats a good alternative.

Against T Swift would be ideal!

But based on what this information about Noel? I mean, what we only know it's that Noel is playing on Friday somewhere (in UK). At this point Foals too. Or there is something missing to consider Noel that clear for Sunday headlining Other?

There was info from someone that was told Noel was 'headlining', can't remember who. It's not a done deal by any means but he looks the most likely candidate at the mo

Thanks for clarifying. At this moment looks like a Noel vs Foals (both SR).

Belle & Sebastian announced today for Doune the rabbit hole in July?so maybe other festivals lined up.

What if theyre on West Holts instead? Maybe WH has headliners big enough for bigger stages also. Reagrdless, I think it would be a great thing to have.

A few outlets have announced Robyn as being at Lovebox but she’s not on the official announcement/poster. Fingers crossed it’s not as an exclusive and that she doesn’t dodge Glastonbury again.

Nonono dont tease me like this.

I was hoping for Robyn.

West holts headliner?

 

If she headlines this is a nightmare clash. I hope shes anything but a headliner. I think I'd have to skip Taylor swift if Robyn was headlining WH on the Sunday.

Friday is out.

Saturday is free but Aerosmith look to have the Macca sub slot wrapped up and they won’t put NG up against Macca.

Sunday seems the obvious choice with Other headliner being the most likely place for him.

All aboard the Robyn Express! Really hoped for her this year after the album came out last year, so she's definitely due a visit

Then it's distinctly possible I'll be watching Robyn!

Think I've said it on the boards before, but for all the (fully justified) plaudits and love for Macca, and my own love of Beatles tunes courtesy of my parents, I'm just not getting as excited about him rocking up as I feel I should!

Pixies odds jumped

For me it's like 

Robyn>Taylor Swift

Robyn>Kendrick

Macca> Everyone

Have you seen Macca before? I know some who seen him the last time he was at the G and loved it but are not wanting to see him again partly because they don't think it can get any better so why taint it - fair logic.

However i've never seen him before and i've always wanted to but just didn't fancy forking out over £130 for the privilege. This is the perfect opportunity. 

[MetaKate]

Crap I just realized theres one painful exception that if it every occurred I would have no choice but attempt to tear myself into two essentially bursting open to become a black hole that eventually destroyed the earth.

Macca=Daft Punk

Nope, never seen him.  It's got nothing to do with whether I think he'll be any good given age or performance quality or anything like that, it's juts not grabbing me!

The best way I can describe it (hopefully not inappropriately!) is when you see someone on TV that all your friends think is hot, and you know from the component parts you should absolutely find them hot, but your reaction overall is just....meh.

As always, caveating this with the prospect of me being smashed, front and centre, and roaring along to Hey Jude with a large bottle of rum in my hand
