Lana coming back to Europe 2/3 weeks after heading back to the US is pretty unlikely, right?

I think she's fairly unlikely anyway. They tried to get her in 2019 when she was in the vicinity but didn't manage to agree on a fee.

That is fantastic. So much I'd want at Glastonbury, although rarely much crossover between these fests?

Ed o Brien might be a possibility...

With Thom, Jonny could join. Secret set or few songs on Thoms set 👀

Bonnaroo headliners have really taken a nosedive in size in the past 2 years:

Not really. I'll leave you to debate how big Post Malone is or is not, but Phish are pretty substantial. Essentially the Madison Square Garden house band, and how many bands can throw festivals in which they are the only band that plays and still see 40,000+ attend. Also, they have headlined Bonnaroo twice before, so their return can hardly be seen as a 'nosedive'.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Got me worried about RTJ and King Gizz now

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm more worried about Pigeons Playing Ping Pong

[SwedgeAntilles]

As should we all be

There's only one MSG house band!

I can see RTJ headling John peel this or next year

Ha ha, yeah, I forgot about him.  Phish did a 13-date run there in 2017, without repeating a single song, as well as the last 6 New Year's Eves. Billy has played there every month for the last 6 years! Amazing stuff really.

[Matt42]

Yeah I reckon Lana isn’t that likely now

[Matt42]

Lizzo is absolutely big enough to headline a US festival

I feel US festivals tend to be a bit more lax on headliner requirements compared to us. US festivals book headliners on the basis of what is hot right now.

I would love to see Phish at some point in the UK, but it's just not going to happen. Guess I need to head over to MSG for one of their end of year shows at some point.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hoping that Altin Gun come back across the Atlantic for the G.

Would be awesome if he came on to finish Thom's set with a few Radiohead ones.

That's Femi Kuti with dates along with Sean Kuti so my dream of a West Holts headline collaboration by the sons of Fela lives on.

I need to convince my brother start a band with me called Sons of Graham.

Feels more of a bandstand booking.

Me too re Gizz, esp as they're in the US April/May and playing a French festival 1st weekend in June. Will be a lot of flying if they're to make it back this side of the pond again straight after (don't they know there is no Planet B?)

You and me both.

I caught their last performance in the UK, at Glastonbury.

It was in 1997.

Sadly I reckon they’ll make a quick trip over for that French festival, APE, Primavera and maybe a couple of others before heading back.
