He isn’t doing consecutive nights anywhere. Not sure he could sell two nights at Hyde Park anyway after shifting 200k tickets for London this November. Yeah I doubt it either. If someone is savvy on his team they’d realise Glasto is a great way to eek out more revenue, for someone who has basically played every city, venue and 3rd tier football stadium in the country.

Should be about 50,000 a night. . I’m talking about his UK run. He’s doing one 50k+ stadium in a city then moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's doing the BST date to cash in for the Glastonbury date loss he'd have to take. Right now I'm with Billie, Elton then either Macca or Monkeys depending how it goes.

Earth_pig Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Eltons rons last tour date listed is in Spain in May *2023* and also some Helsinki dates left to announce so realistically could announce dates in 2023 if not glasto next year.

I just hope that at the end of this tour he’s got enough money saved up, would hate to see him struggling for cash in his latter years.

Agreed. Have any acts that have sold out BST add a second date later on? Or, like Pearl Jam, do they just announce two in the first place? Lots of acts sell out BST without adding a second date and I expect Reg will be in that bracket, if and when he shifts all the tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Just catching up with the Relton BST news. Given it’s on the Friday, I’m taking it as a positive. It shows he’s not above taking high profile slots at major festivals/events. At the same time, he’s on the road and heading in the right geographical direction on the dates in question. I’m with @Hugh Jass - I reckon this is happening, which means we could be looking at Macca OR Taylor. I think both are possible but I don’t think Taylor would do Glastonbury without also doing other dates, and she’d announce them early. God, a Billie / Relton / Taylor line up could only be bettered by Billie subbing for Kendrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, dont kill the messenger. Somebody has to temper expectations. Would you rather have all the hype in the world thinking Elton is a lawk for months and then crushed when a second date is added out of nowhere? So then you get upset at the Eavii for somehow not sealing the deal at such an obvious thing? Edited September 4, 2021 by Suprefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisp1986 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 IF another BST gig is to be added, what sort of timeliness would this be? From what I have seen with arenas etc., are the extra dates not added like days or even hours after the initial date goes on sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take is that if Elton is playing BST on Friday and has a hold for BST on Saturday, then he isn't playing Glasto Saturday and he isn't playing Glasto Sunday, given he is only playing consecutive nights when staying at the same venue. I thought he was nailed on for Glasto based on dates and locations but assuming your info comes from a similar source I think he's out the running.

Matt42 Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I am still sticking with my prediction of Billie, Macca, Taylor because it would be a dream trio. I am open to Reginald Relton Rohn as an alternative. But what if it’s not Elton, Macca or Taylor… that would be a twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
