Madonna is not playing R&L. That festival has definitely changed, but it hasn’t changed that much. 

This post was referring to the idea of Rhianna doing R&L. But yeah I don't see that happening either.

Wouldn't this mean she would do Reading and Leeds?

Absolutely no chance. I know R&L have gone a bit "V Festival" in recent years but even that would be a real stretch.

What are the chances of Green day headlining now they have announced uk tour dates next year? Would also love Rancid to play the farm next year too.

They have headlined the Pyramid. It was Ok, not legendary though. I remember it being loud.

Its not happening but their show 23 years ago is nothing like it was back then - far better finish and obviously a larger back catalogue

Don’t give me hope. 
 

edit: I have just seen that this is a t-shirt store. Hope has been duly stifled.

I think RTJ are taking a break for a bit after the last run of recent shows in the US, which would suggest it's not true. Of course, they were the previous tour support prior to the cancellation. Would love to see that tour lineup resurrected though. 

RATM were made for the Pyramid. With the state of the world over the past 7 or 8 years, those tunes have never felt so relevant. The band and festival feels like a good match, socio-politically.

I for one would LOVE to see her on the farm.

If Green Days US Tour starts in March, is it unlikely they'd be starting in UK/Europe in June? Surely be a bit later in 2024?

If shes signed a deal with Live Nation that means she wont be playing Glasto but will more likely be playing the likes of Leeds Reading

Surely too big for R&L?

Nah. Live Nation pay the moolah they could easily have her on.. I would say the only question is would they put her on? does she appeal to the 17 year old crowd? 😄

I doubt they would want to cough up for her - she would be incredibly expensive

For the price they pay she'd have to be perfect for the target audience e.g. how AM are - and she just isn't that anymore imo

Have you not read the article? She's signed a 32m quid deal with them.... so they have coughed up. 

Granted thats for arena gigs on the tour as well but they will likely have exclusivity on a festival appearance

RATM or Green Day would both be fun. Can imagine both bands relishing opportunity given the absolute state of the world at the mo. Does Glasters take that risk tho?

[nathanh]

I think Rihanna, if announced before any tour dates would be a BIG get for R&L and would 100% sell out with a decent undercard, would be incredibly expensive I would imagine though

Do you really think they are made for the Pyramid? As much as I adore Glastonbury, in the last 25 years it has become so middle class and part of the mainstream. A lot of the media coverage shows snaps of celebs in VIP areas with outrageously expensive glamping etc. without any mention of the political leanings. I can't imagine that's something RATM would want to be associated with, as opposed to say Reading which still seems to retain some of the anarchic spirit.

Glastonbury is a charity festival. Reading and Leeds isn't, and is heavily commercially sponsored to boot.

[The Nal]

Rage playing 32 year old tunes to Glasto 24 crowd

"Action must be taken, we dont need the key ......we'll BREAK in"

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bugger all anarchic about Reading and Leeds anyway. A few 17 year old who can't handle their drink burning down each others tents to a soundtrack of The Killers and Arctic Monkeys.

[Wooderson]

The "Guantanamo" opening to Bombtrack was pretty subversive when I saw 'em do it.

Coughed up for solo shows that are a completely different audience to R&L

She isn't worth the money for R&L's audience anymore is my point, money would be far better spent elsewhere
