Maybe we've been too hasty to write off Green Day.

Green Day are doing Download and they have paid a lot for exclusivity.

 

It was also announced this week that they are headlining Tinderbox on the Saturday of Glastonbury weekend and they are already booked to headline Tons of Rock on the Thursday and a show in Luxemburg on the Monday. They haven't done three shows in a row since pre Covid. Not happening.

No chance of The Cure or Gorillaz doing it next year is there?

Yeah - I'm aware of the main reasons for them being discounted (albeit not the 'paid a lot for exclusivity' element).  Just spitballin' other potential names in the frame.

Too soon for the former; doubt Damon would want a repeat of the latter.

The Strokes were off the chain good at All Points East. Apparently there were sound issues, but not where we were...

Which year? We went in 2019 and it was an awful experience cause of the sound.

I was there all weekend and that’s pretty much a perfect summary of how that Saturday panned out 😆

Well it also had The National, Two Door Cinema Club, Jimmy Eat World and Madness. As a sequence, it all sounded like fun.

Until the Tinderbox announcement, I thought that the possibility of them doing this was increasing. But yeah, it's gone in the bin now.

‘‘Twas a heck of a day. Even if The National played to a small, disinterested crowd. Had Mark Thomas doing a set about his book walking the Israel-Palestine barrier in the morning too followed by Daniel Sloss and Tom Stade. 
 

Come to think of it, that was a brilliant day.

And he’s good mates with Reg

I didn't realise Elton and Billy Joel did shows together tbf. But the public falling out after they finished their co-tours in 2010 hints good mates isn't quite the phrase to use anymore.
