City Rocker Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 10 hours ago, RumRed said: They may need the money but Mani seems to be doing ok with Primal Scream so he's probably ok. Mani left Primal Scream when the Roses reformed. "You can't ride two bikes with one arse" was I think the way he put it! 7 hours ago, RedLionLad said: The Specials, Madness and Selecter. I can but dream. Would be nice. Get your braces together and your boots on your feet. I've seen all three bands gig in recent years, all are still phenomenal live shows. Though the Specials without Brad (RIP), Nev, Roddy and of course Jerry is not quite such an exciting spectacle, however brilliant they sound.

Emily Eavis has taken the bizarre route of confirming which bands are not playing before confirming the bands that will be this year.... http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/glastonbury-2017-radiohead-daft-punk-stone-roses-headliners-emily-eavis-michael-eavis-a7373021.html Anyways.... Guns n Roses and Kiss are playing stadiums/arenas this summer and either would do me just fine. Both could sell out and both put on a great show whilst making a hell of a noise. In my perfect world we would of done it last summer and got AC/DC to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Gonna throw a huge curve ball here... Perhaps we may also not have an music artist. We may have a comedian. Just announced is Chris Rock who is doing a world tour next summer. I don't for one second think he'll be here - Bristol in the UK is unlikely. But it did make me think. Perhaps someone like Peter Kay or Lee Evans (if they can get him out of retirement) or even Bill Bailey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard that Steve Lansdown had enquired about the possibility of getting Billy Smarts to come to the gate, but it was soon realised that it wouldn't be feasible what with having a perminant circus just up the road. On a serious note, Jeff Lynn's ELO would my pick of groups to have down the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw ELO at Glastonbury last year and they were a huge disappointment, they created no atmosphere at all which is just about impossible there. No interaction with the crowd, they played we sang but it was lacking something. They played all the hits and I was surprised how many I knew, but it was a very wooden performance. Out of everybody I've ever seen they have been the most disappointing, certainly wouldn't pay to see them again. I'm not knocking your choice, and they were very popular just not a great live band maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
