As much as I was previously happy to ask repeatedly if it'll be Foo Fighters, their last European show is in Lisbon on June 21... so probably too big a gap for the HP weekenders.

Not them apparently

Fine. Tempted to wonder if they may do their own UK thing over a different weekend, if anything at all, given they're still announcing European gigs.

Could foo fighters do a secret set at Glastonbury

Hmmmm... wouldn't rule it out.

[TGCarr]

Are summer garden tickets worth it?

 

Or just get Golden?

That’s what I’m thinking

Seeing as it's the 50th anniversary of Glastonbury and 25th anniversary of foo fighters

In my head I was wondering if Eminem might do this given he's meant to be announcing a load of stuff, but aside from the fact they've already got some rap/hip-hop players, wasn't there a thing when he did Wembley a few years ago that the locals objected to him playing it?

[atomised]

Royal parks weren't keen on rap acts in general due to.swearing etc and local residents kicked up a fuss too. With hip hop booked this year some of those concerns must've been addressed. 

I can see Eminem going for Wembley again as all the talk was of him being in Europe august time and that fitting with when wembley is available 

[charlierc]

That would make more sense in general given his last UK run included 2 nights at Twickenham, and of course he's previously done Wembley. So he's objectively big enough to have that and not need to cotton on to festivals. I guess given the Sziget thread has been heavily pushing that he's gonna turn up there that he might be doing a primarily festival based run.

When do the support acts tend to be confirmed? Thinking of the Taylor Swift day in particular.

It tends to vary. They wont be in any hurry when days have sold well

Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll just have to sit tight!

Really struggling to peace together who could open for Kendrick. 

 

Think it'll be a complete random bunch of artists. Schoolboy Q would be the dream..but he barely likes to tour

I remember the story. Prior to it coming out though he had announced and sold out the wembley shows so I was never convinced it was that close to being agreed

A quick thought on the sixth night. Rod stewart closes the Brits tomorrow, fits the older performer demographic  could it be him 

[DomDom1984]

I'm still sure Yungblud is on the Malone day.

Rod is joined by Kenny J and Ronnie W of the Faces as a reunion guest spot! I would have thought they'd be a Hyde Park shoe-in - but Ronnie only finishes his US tour with the Stones two days before

Thought so. Even if as said, a lot of how true it is may depend on how much a discussion there was beforehand given that this came out around the time the Wembley dates was. Could well be prep discussion was held but it didn't go anywhere, or at least get arranged as quickly as Wembley did.

I honestly wasn't sure if he was still big enough but as a UK exclusive its probably fine.

He does big arena runs and often does the smaller stadium circuit. If it's an exclusive summer show he definitely has the fan base.

Sure - he played the MK Dons stadium last summer among a couple of others around the UK. So I imagine nationwide there's enough fans to turn up.

I would add that, whilst he did play and 'sell out' the local stadium of franchise footie, there was a lot of cheap tickets for locals. If I remember correctly, they were around the fiver mark.....

Was part of a 7 date open air tour followed by an arena tour at the end of the year  last time he played Brighton's stadium it sold pretty well from memory. 

I think the announcement of the last night will come soon and brits night seems to fit. 

[atomised]

Rod stewart starts a US tour July 21st so potentially a fit based on that too 

 

It could be sold as a European exclusive too
