Doesnt look as though its the case but here is a pointless theoretical guess… the rumours around roxy music not doing it seemed to come around the time it would have been known that robbie was doing isle of wight and therefore might be available

roxy out robbie in

its still possible the slot is not yet fully booked and confirmed at this point. They’ve got to be at least negotiating with RW unless they’ve nailed down something really decent already.

he’s available, touring this year at festivals and wants to do it. Just make it happen! And yes happily hold off announcing it till March or even May if strictly necessary

[Crazyfool01]

did we not have someone who said they knew ? but said it was someone we had not yet discussed although manny pages have passed since .... or am i imagining it ?

 Can't see him doing a 4pm Glastonbury gig after the after a gig in Norway

Plus his exclusivity clauses seem pretty air tight

 

I still think it will be spice girls

[Memory Man]

Having read he’s in oslo the day before i take it back - theres no chance this year

2024 tho get it sorted

It crossed my mind that he's playing these other festivals this summer to get himself back on the scene ahead of Glastonbury next year (or any future year). I'd love it, so many hits for an hour or so set

I think that ended up being Spice Girls.

thanks both 

[Hugh Jass II]

I'd forgotten about Robbie's Oslo gig, which kinda puts a damper on things.

Back to Duran Duran then!

I have info on who's lined up for the slot that I can't divulge. Which I get is super annoying.

They haven't been mentioned on here thus far and would have huge crowd appeal whilst pissing off swathes of the festival old guard. 

 

Posted previous page but possibly missed.

oh really? 

I think OB face said they knew someone in their management team. Why do people doubt them?

Robbie would be my number one choice out of the rumour mill, I defy anyone to go to that set and not have a good time

I'd rather drink my own boiling piss.

Think so. Would be mad to name her Gun, right?

Failing the above. Mentioned Simple Minds a few pages back to no fanfair. Not legendary enough? 

I'd be very keen but prob not as well known enough. They are very good live though.

She got off lightly, just ask her sister AR-15...

Not lengendy enough.

But certainly room for them somewhere. Early doors Pyramid to headlining Acoustic, and maybe some places between.

No, that's Elon Musk's oldest

Duran Duran playing BottleRock in the Napa Valley on the 26th-28th May. I think that’s where my money would be going right now.

[BenG92]

Would take that all day as I don't like them enough to pay £75 for a half-decent seat

Ticket prices are getting daft.  I'm sure the Duran Duran tickets in Sept 2021 at Scarborough were only £40-odd.  To get the same sort of view on the current Arena tour would cost over double - close to £100.  That's not just inflation, it's profiteering.

Wouldn’t pay that in an Ordinary World…
