Neil Young

[Crazyfool01]

Festival should come back and unannounce him now 😀

[Mardy]

Flip-flopping in the Free World.

[Someoni]

He's back on. Heart of gold that guy.

[Spindles]

Out of spite the festival have announced that Neil Young's set will now be broadcast exclusively on GB news, with Andrew Neil spitting and grimacing in a little box in the corner throughout.

[Justcalledtosay]

Stuie's going to be furious after hearing this news...

[Monty Pythagoras]

Will he be doing a Hokey Cokey cover

Sounds like the festival are getting the news on this at the same time as the rest of us.

I'd love to have seen their reaction to that blog post this morning

This is the kind of entertaining nonsense that only Glastonbury can provide.

GB news as a partner broadcaster, love it. The Rees Mogg introducing tent!

[hjwright]

Wonder how many of his mates got bets on while the odds lengthened.

That would just be Old snakey Jakey lounging on a couch and complaining that music has been terrible since it moved out of the music hall.

My read on this - NY's team posted this as a strong negotiation tactic,someone on the Glastonbury / BBC side has backed down and NY's team has agreed to call it his mistake as an olive branch.

 

Neither side is stupid. The lack of official response yesterday spoke volumes.

So Neil Young approached it as a big corporation might do negotiating a contract or lobbying the government - always knew these hippies were full of sh*t 😉 

Looking forward to this set now. Have no knowledge of him at all to be honest, keen to go in with open eyes and ears - particularly as I won't be watching 1975 or O-Rod!

Hey Hey My My...

 

Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that
And once you're gone you can never come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black

[airwaves]

Well I for one am, at the moment, totally pissed off by this. 

 

My view will only change if he recognises that fans need him to do a stand alone, ticket-available-to-buy gig that those of us - the majority? - of his fans can have a chance of getting a ticket for!!!! 😡😡😡😡

Both of his posts on his message board have alluded to it being part of a wider tour.

Let’s hope he’s playing Sunday night so I can go home early!!!!  This lineup is very disappointing at the moment 

[henry bear]

I’m sure I’ve read he’s doing a European tour, and I can’t imagine Glasto will be his only UK date. BST seems obvious - but after the kerfuffle last time over sponsorship, perhaps not

[Franky]

What a load of old shite, old being the word.

You never know, with a bit of luck there’ll be artists you don’t like headlining Friday and Saturday too, and you won’t have to go at all 👍🏼
