She's clearly well kent in 6 Music listening / vinyl buying / Mercury Prize following / Guardian reading sort of circles (in the same way that the likes of, say, Self Esteem and Young Fathers are) but I assume the average person who consumes music from Tik Tok isn't au fait.

Somewhat agree but I'd say most people around my age (26) knows who she is and would be able to name at least one or two songs.

I do wonder what the mystery factor is that makes things like Sprinter or Who Told You?  into massive hits but not something like Gorilla or Point & Kill.

AC/DC are rumoured to play Croke Park next year...

Doesn't fully explain it, but the collaboration aspect of both of those songs certainly helped.

Obongjayar on Point and Kill doesn't count.

Certainly shows the 'She's either doing one of Glastonbury or Coachella' story to be a load of old hogwash.

Thats quality. Didnt know about the statue. And was only a few miles away in Arbroath a couple of years back

Yeah so nothing special or exclusive. Just big pop star on tour stuff.

Nah. If she didn't give a fiddlers about her first time on El Pointo she'd have shown up this year with Reg.

She'll have something special up her sleeve.

It varies. Recently Macca, Kendrick and Elton all went above and beyond.

Emily also said people would see why she was happy to have held the slot open for them.

Unlikely to be true about a man bellowing about a Porch.

Also, not saying it won't happen, but all that article basically says is:

"There will be one more concert booked for Croke Park. ACDC are rumoured to be planning a tour. Surely it's them"

It's pretty much an efests post.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Admittedly AC/DC are actually legitimately funny.

A lot of ACDC rumors the last days. Also talk about a concert in France and Germany. They did PowerTrip so why not Glastonbury.... Although the chances are slim..

There's no way a band that looks like this could be anything other than legitimately funny.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yes.......?
