My favourite blatant lie was the time that Reading and Leeds announced that Bastille were an exclusive.

Only problem was that Boardmasters had announced them two days prior.

I think my point is that they probably are not blatant lies. They are either misunderstandings or changes or quite specific in wording like they'll say outdoor because the other one is in a tent or something like that.

Beyond jealous. Just watching that festival set on You Tube had me in tears. TBH even if I never get to see her I am so glad she has recovered enough to be able to do stuff and to see everyone show her just how loved she is. She’s the GOAT and never got full kudos in her era because of sexism. 

I had about 4 friends at Newport that don't even really care about joni.  One of them in the photographers pit.  I was alternating between seething and tears, lol.  

This is certainly her victory lap. I had no idea that she had recovered from this stroke so well; she seems so happy.  I don't think she'll ever tour again but maybe one-offs aren't out of the question.  She apparently flew here (to nyc) for a broadway show a couple of weeks ago, so it's not like she's sitting on her hands.  But it also seems like Brandi Carlisle is the Joni-whisperer.  I don't think there'll be any joni without her.

That’s one of the few times I remember an exclusive not being true actually being addressed by a festival, though how true the story they gave was is hard to tell given we knew it was Metallica long before the announcement.

that story might be right, were originally lined up to headline other stage, not the pyramid.

Yep Brandi has definitely cultivated a really caring friendship group around Joni to give her the confidence to perform again. It's really quite a lovely thing to behold. I don't think Glastonbury will ever happen but it's what dreams are made of.

Slightly odd blurb 👀

 

ROBBIE WILLIAMS will perform an exclusive UK concert at the Royal Sandringham Estate, Norfolk on Sat 26 Aug 2023! One of only two UK shows next summer, it will be his only stand-alone headline concert in the UK and the first prestigious large scale live music event to be hosted at Sandringham.

Right sort of venue though, perfect for the picnic blanket posse

Rod Stewart. Would spend the whole set thinking of my dad in 1979. I would laugh and have fun

Didn’t somebody on here say they bumped in to Michael at a shop or something wayy before we’d heard anything and he mentioned Metallica were headlining, but of course it was brushed off as bollocks due to how unlikely it seemed at the time/the Sonisphere exclusive. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

With Roxy, Robbie and the Spice Girls all ruled out it really is wide open again.

They're hopefully already on the LeBon-phone.

Apparently that doesn't matter in a legends set, or so I've heard

Same. I'd love it.

I'd be all over Rod. Perfect booking for the slot.

I'm guessing they mean Isle of Wight as the non standalone gig

Rod wasn't a legends slot, he was headliner.

If Elton had any say in someone else playing that day it would be him.

They're not speaking dude. Also no way would Rod play second fiddle, which he'd see that as. Minus infinity chance.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Whilst I suspect you're right about him not wanting to play second fiddle, isn't the whole feud thing just done for laughs!?

My stepdad who is a big fan (I'd love Rod by the way) says there is genuine needle.

[Superscally]

Must be weird being the legend underneath a presumably bigger and more current legend.

I assumed things were fine, this is a few years old. Seems good natured.

Basically only doesn’t matter if every song of the legends slot is a singalong.
 

If it’s not, and you’re actually standing listening to them for a few rather than having a laugh with 100k other backing singers, and they sound awful, it’s a different thing.

Would fat boy slim ever be considered for the legends slot ?

Few more years and other slots to go first I think!
