and you know what? after missing out on their final ever performance (I think?) with Keith at victorious 2018 due to the awful rain, i'd take that

I can still feel the cold in my bones from that day 😞

does that not mean they are more likely to play being as they are touring?

The caption rules them out: "The band’s only outdoor UK and Irish headline shows for Summer 2023".

Or perhaps this doesn't include festival appearances...??

Think the key word there is headline. They could be playing elsewhere but not headlining…

ahh I see now 🙂

Also says outdoor, so in theory… could headline the JP tent at Glastonbury.  (Tbf even if they headlined the 2nd stage their comment is probably still true)

[sisco]

But yeah… obvs out of the Victorious running.

Truck, Y Not and the rest need to start announcing now

That Prodigy wording is weird, like they're only doing Irish dates and say UK as well? Why would they not do ANY mainland UK dates at all, all summer? Maybe they meant their own shows? It defo needs some clarification.

It says only headline shows, eg they're not headlining the festivals they're doing in the UK

Prodigy would be a headliner regardless of which festival they played at, surely?

Glastonbury they wouldn't. Can't think of any other they'd be lower at.

It says outdoor headline so they could do an arena tour. They will 100% do Other stage at glasto - maybe a secret set somewhere i guess

Reading potentially but an unlikely booking

it makes them less likely to headline as it states only outdoor UK and Ireland headline slots. not sure they would accept or work earlier in the day

Closing set maybe? Only IOW and Latitude have ever done that before and they have already announced - maybe Boardmasters would do it i think

Also might mean they are still in the runnings for boomtown with their blind lineup thing as i swear that circumvents this sort of thing (something that may rule out Victorious and Boardmasters out based on proximity)

Could easily be listed as a special guest I guest.  But with the wording of that they’re certainly not doing Victorious, Boardmasters, Kendall etc….

[luckysalt]

Imagine if they play Victorious as an early special guest. 1pm in the afternoon The Prodigy. 😂

Chances of Razorlight making a return? Tour just announced but may have played too recently, saw them a few years ago there.

I said page or so again about them doing greatest hits tour and I'd expect them back next year. I think it's been long enough a gap for them to return.

Live Nation confirmed only UK performance of 2023. So nothing until 2024 in UK. 

I expect they'll do mainland Europe, US and Japan dates.
