The gnr homepage has changed to the original gnr logo.

i presume whatever is going on has just begun.

Merry Christmas all

GN'R would have their own day. People that go and see Take That would do so on a different day.

I am considering it because it fits in with everything else. AEG promoted the Vegas residencies for GN'R, which were considered a success. Coachella, AEG, seems an obvious choice for a reunited GN'R given the money on offer. Under that same umbrella is Hyde Park.

There are obviously between 1 and 3 headliners still to announce, historically the festival has had at least one big classic rock band.

Also something interesting, insiders at other forums were able to predict the three current headliners (TT, Mumford, Flo), but not whoever the  fourth act is. That sounds familiar as well.

The Virtual Festivals news is also adding a small amount of credence to the Loaded story. Although I think it was factually wrong, I think the sentiment behind it had some truth to it. The guy that wrote the Loaded story used to do all the music on Channel 4 teletext years ago. He has also worked for some major newspapers and everyone knows who he is. I am guessing he got a small amount of information and tried to reason with it, but did so incorrectly.

I could be barking up the wrong tree with this, but it feels interesting

Coachella can pay up to 4 million dollars for bands. There is that article where GN'R are being offered 8 million dollars to do that festival

Reading, Download can pay 1-2 million pounds for their headliners, it depends who it is

I'll build the first post again as we go. This festival makes sense over other ones, worthy of it's own thread

I'll ask around and see if I can rule it out.

--> The promoter for this festival works for Goldenvoice, another good sign. He is on holiday until 29th Dec.
