If we did it on sales we would have had- 1996- Robson & Jerome 2006- James Blunt 2010- Susan Boyle 2015- One Direction Do you really want that? Those would require an industrial amount of drugs to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben7amin_ Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I mean plenty of press reported it and if you scroll back on this forum I think you will see it was discussed to death at the time. Emily's "female act, had to change touring plans" seems less than subtle. I'm.prepared to consider it a fact but make your own minds up.

Not sure I’ve got a 3 hour set in me though. Probably not an act in the world I could sit through for 3 hours. (Except Daft Punk). I'm also quite unable to sit through a set longer than 90-120 minutes. Think Elton was the longest one I've ever done and not been getting itchy feet. If Bruce squeezed the ten songs I know and like (to varying degrees), into a 2-hour slot, I'd just about manage it. Checking his setlist from 2009 though, he only played 6 of those 10 songs anyway and most of them were right at the end, so perhaps I'd just turn up at the halfway point and soak in the last hour.

I'm no huge Bruce fan either but tried to watch the 2009 set. Got seriously bored after about 30-35 minutes and left for the SE Corner. Had plenty of company too.

Everything else is expectations, assumptions, or guesswork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Also Boss rumours on Greasy Lake - but again very specious and nothing to bank on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And importantly, directly contradicted by other rumours. Also worth saying that people there are claiming the Euro 2025 tour gets announced tomorrow afternoon, which if correct would more solidly rule him in or all the way out.

Avalon_Fields Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I’m now in a quandary… am I to add Rihanna and Springsteen to our rumours listing? Decisions, decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rihanna for sure. Springsteen I'd wait (just over) 24 hours, as there's a decent chance he's fully ruled if the announcement comes, and if it has the expected Gothenburg date conflicting with Glastonbury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Still think 3 nights in Gothenburg is a stretch. Don't think any stops in Europe have had 3 nights recently - plus he did two nights in Stockholm this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 3 nights seems a stretch especially with demand for this years tour seemingly being softer than previous years. Hopefully the suggestion that the dates are coming tomorrow is correct, and everything looks a lot clearer. My gut says no, just because the Friday is the only viable day for him and that placement just doesn't feel right to me. But then I would have said the same thing regarding U2 playing the Friday so could of course be miles off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember watching Franz Ferdinand's Other Stage set on TV instead and that looked to have a pretty healthy crowd at the time. Not that I'm exactly able to compare to what other OS headliners at the time would've looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
