Yeah The Sun seen to saying same as in here, except the Stevie Wonder bit which was more about 50 pages ago. They aren't just making it up 

No they’re not just making it up but instead of journalism/having their own sources they just trawl sites like this throw them together tweak to make it more controversial/throw in popular names to get clicks. 
I bet quite a few on here have gone to look at the article. 
Remember every click on their site gives the oxygen theives more money

I've just had a DM from a well placed source that Fornication Out Of Wedlock are headlining.

Beats The Churnups for a false name moniker, I guess.

What's your issue?

 

They've probs pinched it from the discord which is where the news of Charli, O Rod, Chappell broke- not on here. 

 

It's also not beyond the realms of possibility that a national newspaper would hear some correct info for the country's biggest festival 

[NorthernSoul52]

So weird that they're claiming Rodrigo won't top. Quietly astonished, given how sure we've been she's the biggest lock of the lot, that they'd even go that route.

 

But I still feel unsure on Wonder and Young. The former, as we say, has to have BST in the back pocket too, and the latter mentioning rebooking a tour because of "health reasons" reads to me that he is a risk of a booking in that sense.

They are, famously, an exception to the rule on this.

That's how journalism works?

Also,we don't know where these names come from...same places as they originate in here, various people in the industry.

Anyone know what the current rumours are for BST? Or is everyone clutching at straws for that at the moment?

Could have taken it from absolutely anywhere here or oof being a couple of places you don’t need to be quite so certain when you don’t actually know . Scum has been trawling this site and sites like it for years s… 

[fraybentos1]

Is it possible to have any discussion about the Sun which doesn't descend into repeated comments about how evil they are? Everyone understands that it's a rag of a paper.

[Someoni]

I absolutely abhor that excuse of a newspapers so I'm going to pretend they are incapable of reporting the truth

well i do because Charli and Chappell were never mentioned here until confirmation came from elsewhere. SO one way or another it came from there.

Oh hey Piers! Only joking. I think people are still seething at the stuff they have pulled over the years

Well they haven't got it right anyway cause O Rod is headlining and Stevie doesn't seem to be headlining.

His issue is The Sun newspaper and he’s correct. This “newspaper” has spent decades lying and sh*t stirring. Their front page spread in April 1989 slandering 1000’s of football fans was a large part of the reason it took them around 30 years to get some form of justice over the Hillsborough disaster.

 

If I had my way any mention of that rag would be banned on this forum

You'd miss a Prodigy headline set in favour of the latest fad Disney pop star? 

If id seen the Prodigy about 20 times previously (as i have) and the headlining artist was "O-Rod" who i'd never seen before and really enjoy a lot of stuff off her first two albums.....

 

I'd be at O-Rod

The info may be from Discord but its been posted here. I assume they are more likely to frequent here than Discord was all my thinking.

Just to clarify... The health reasons aren't truly health reasons, more health concerns.

 

Neil has been particularly cautious during and since COVID, and almost all dates played since have been outdoors due to the better ventilation. Someone asked him on NYA a few years ago if he'd ever tour Europe again and he said he would, but he'd play outdoor venues. He seems particularly cautious about Europe for some reason - I guess the early headlines probably didn't help...

 

The recent post on NYA seemed to suggest that a promoter had booked indoor venues too, and that the tour was being rescheduled to remove those and include more outdoor venues.

 

It's not fully clear why Neil is so apprehensive but it would be understandable that he doesn't want to pass anything on to family who have health challenges of their own.

 

Edited to add - 2024 date cancellations were believed to be due to health issues with Ralph and/or Billy from Crazy Horse. This seems to be confirmed by the fact Neil has spun up another band and has decided to keep playing. A real shame, I hope the other guys are doing well.

Absolutely love the prodigy and I’ve been hoping for a return for a while definately due an appearance so I’d be at them .. would be a great alternative for me , strength all round makes Glastonbury great although still not quite sure on other 2 nights

Hmm yeah maybe but not beyond the realms of possibility that they have a guy in there. Although all of what they are reporting is a week or 2 old now so maybe they don't.

If linking or talking about a Glasto article in the sun is that egregious then just ban any links to it. People are free to discuss it and not even one link has been posted to the article it's just discussing the names mentioned.

For me I'm not bothered where an artists comes from if I like them but I've yet to catch O-Rod and I've seen The Prodigy a couple of times with Brixton coming up next week.
