    I thought they said their last tour was their final tour.
    The lure of money was too much.

    Ah the joys of the "Final Tour". Caught them in the 3Arena 2 years ago and they but on a great show, hopefully will catch them on one of the European dates

    Price of the ticket is well covered with the 3 acts known already, Diana Ross is €125, Macca would be €160 at least and Aerosmith would be €100, so I reckon that means we're actually making a profit.

    Yeah its looking good value this year alright. Kendrick Lamar seems nailed on as well. Could be 2 out of 3 nights at the pyramid for me depending on clashes. Thom Yorke is headlining west holts one of the nights, hopefully clashing with taylor and not macca or kendrick.

    Question about Glasto, would a band like Aersomith bring their full stage set up as they;re using for this tour or would they use the house stage/set up

    No idea what setup they are using for this tour but I remember when Muse played in 2016 they were touring inddor venues and had a mad stage setup but when they played glasto it was way stripped back. Id imagine it'll be the same for Aerosmith. They'll have screens and lights and thats about it. Maybe confetti cannons.

    They won't have that walkway into the crowd but I don't see why the rest of it would be a problem. The setup Muse were touring in '16 was far more elaborate.

    With Aerosmith playing im guessing they wont be headlining? If the rumours are true that Taylor and Kendrick are the other 2 headliners

    Their date is the same as Macca's. He ain't supporting them.

    They could headline T'Other.. but far more likely they're subbing Macca.

    Rumoured to be playing second fiddle to mccartney. They definitely aren’t headlining anyway. Glasto would never book a band like Aerosmith to headline.

    They'll be on pretty early too, circa 7. McCartney is likely to do a 2.5 to 3 hour set and will need a fair bit of time for his stage setup after Aerosmith.

    Though less than the 2.5 hours the Stones had to get their gear ready. Man, that was an exhausting wait.

    Guns 'n' Roses doing Marlay Park the Saturday of Glasto. Could they be doing a slot in Somerset a month after their Tottenham gig?

    I would think they'd have to headline and we seem to have our headliners and also they are all about the $$$ which glasto won't give them. Coachella supposedly paid them a few million to headline a few years ago.

    I agree that it's hard to see them not headlining and/or accepting a lower fee. Probably won't happen but Aerosmith and Diana Ross have already agreed to it, as almost certainly have Foals, Tame Impala and the 1975. All headlining festivals elsewhere. It's also the fiftieth anniversary which will result in bigger acts doing lower slots.

    All said more in hope than expectation.

    Where would they fit on the bill? Would have to be on Saturday but would they accept subbing to Aerosmith?
    Would be odd to have them on before Kendrick or Swift.

    Tame Impala wont be there as they headlined the the Other Stage this year and im pretty sure their All Points East is a UK exclusive? But i say Foals and 1975 to headline the other stage(or i can see 1975 subbing Taylor Swift)

    Pretty fuppin ugly mofo TBH

    I'm sure I'll find something else worthy of my attention on the Sunday night


    Massive fan of Yorke but I doubt the auld plinky plonky will be enough for me at that stage of the game either.

    Fist full o yokes n down the rabbit hole (probably definitely not!)

    Not a fan and there are many other headline acts I'd prefer but I may check out 30/40 mins of her set if nothing essential clashing with it. She's clearly amongst the biggest acts on the planet, it's a coup for Glasto and she'll go down a storm.

    Already several acts there that I love so greatly looking forward to next June.
