Haha that should be it's not speculating if that's how it is, is he. I don't think he's saying it from not actually having evidence for it.

Can I ask again, who is it?

[OllieMadd]

Why would they delay tours because of this? Seems odd.

It's Ken from the Werchter thread, he's very in the know on there and obviously a lot of acts that come over and get involved there will also be at Glastonbury.

I thought you didn't listen to rumours from good sources

No… who are the artists that were touring 2025 that have postponed to 2026 due to the wildfires?

Oh I don't know the artists, he just said some had delayed and there was something going on.

Well, if the festival schedule is a Tomelette, we have to break a few Greggs.

[charlierc]

Only big name I can think of to definitively delay things for now was Beyonce. Dunno if there's any talk of when she might pipe up with the original plan to announce in mid-January.

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye. For Olivia Rodrigo and The 1975, there's likely no impact.

 

Do wonder how long we've got on the clock before Young confirms the rest of his tour dates.

Probably next week. The Grammys are this weekend. Its an easy play to announce a tour right after you win or have a commercial during the broadcast. If Beyonce was gonna cancel or postpone all of this I think she would have enough sense to say something at this point. And I dont think anyone would have a problem if the tour sales were for next year either.

Ken was incorrect more often than he was correct the last couple of months though. He'll definitely know something inside-y now and then (I'm guessing he receives press letters and so on), but he doesn't really feel like a very 'close to the fire' person. That 'artists postponing a year because of the wildfires' bit feels very bullocks.

Watching some of the LA concert 

 

Not the right thread (not sure there is one).  But Id take St Vincent fronted Nirvana has a future  headliner (Im aware its not a propper full time thing but it should be)

He's been right with a lot of stuff previously that it's worth taking note of at least in a small possibility. I haven't seen him mentioned anything that hasn't been correct.

Didn't he claim that London Grammar would headline Down The Rabbit Hole quite recently? 

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye. Unlikely it'd be a tour proper, but St Vincent looks like they've got the chops to do Nirvana justice.

Yes and that clearly didn't happen.

Didn't Beyonce's mom's house burn down? That could have an effect on things.

[jamieroser]

There's already an alternatively fronted Nirvana ready to step up from Williams Green

Dont know how anyone missed her singing at their rock hall induction 10 years ago.

[NorthernSoul52]

I did not. Said it then - though not on here.

 

The question, of course, is just what a tour would even look like. You'd assume it wouldn't be a massive run if it ever happened.

If I'm not mistaken, she'd sung with the surviving Nirvana members before and has done a few times. Think there was one gig where she & Beck shared singing duties.

Yeah that's what I'd heard. Which unquestionably is being directly affected by what went on there and wanting to take time to take stock on things. Though the way Beyonce phrased the announcement postponement hinted it was just postponing that rather than all 2025 tour plans.

 

At least for now. Guess we're not privvy to what discussions she and her people may or may not have had on this matter.
