British Summer Time 2020

[Chef]

Apologies if there is a thread started for this already but I couldn't find one. 

Who do we think could be up next year? Can't be long before an announcement now?

Bruce has to be likely (Assuming he's touring). 

[retromoz]

Does anyone know if there are any reduced priced tickets for this yet?

I doubt it as he tends to stick with live nation. 

[zahidf]

Kings of Leon I reckon.

[jj200]

Could it be Paul McCartney

[RaphPH]

Macca yes if he does Glasto

I think Diana Ross is also a potential

Cher has just done 2 x O2 gigs sold out and they usually bring someone back for the following summer after a Q4 set of gigs at The O2

Eagles playing "Hotel California"

Elton John surely a possibility? I can't see his arena shows being the only ones he does.

Would've said more 2021 at the end of his farewell tour

After what happened last time at Hyde Park I'd be surprised regardless of the tour promoter...

That wasn't the last time he was at Hyde Park. He was back the very next year after they pulled the plug on him.

Don't think they're that big anymore. Maybe as a co-headliner, like that Florence + The National day this year

Mate, they're called Florence + The Machine... It was just one band!

Kings of Leon are certainly big enough. Most BST events are for people who haven't heard new music in 10+ years so they're perfect. If there are bigger headliners to book however, then I'm sure they'll be passed over to APE.

Coldplay seems fairly logical for this for me?

[DomDom1984]

I suspect Coldplay will do their own shit.

Yep... He played Olympic park in 2013.  It was glorious.

I reckon so since they’ve said they’re not rotting this album but are doing a few shows..

[judyblue110]

Jeff Lynne's ELO are surely due a return? 

The last few years they've had a "surprise" / rare UK exclusive... Not sure who for next year... I'd like to see Dead & Company.

[Sam Y]

Could the 1975 do it?

Yeah that was the exact same festival but they just moved it from HP to Stratford, if memory serves me right.

That’s where I’m getting mixed up, thanks.

The problems with The Springsteen gig (as well as other conditions for the licence) was one of the things they mentioned as to why they moved it too.

Yeah they're surely big enough to do a Wembley residency, assuming they're able to have gigs at the stadium this year due to Euro 2020.

I'm surprised they weren't able to make a better deal of it tbf. Looks like they had that one go at the Olympic Park in 2013 with Kasabian & Bruce, then it immediately went away somewhere else again.

Next summer don't forget there's

3 x Twickenham stadium gigs

London Stadium Gigs (West Ham)

BST Hyde Park x 6

Wembley Stadium gigs

and a new Tottenham Hotspur stadium 

and also Emirates Stadium
