It's likely that most acts decent enough to headline are already fully booked for the summer.
The sheer fact he was the “headline” to began with was sad.
still a huge audience out there for him, the uk has prevented all types of people from entering the country in the past including jews including members of the israeli government https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8xgk1ek19lo
Members of the isreali government makes sense. I don’t think that’s the gotcha you may be thinking.
It's nice to see the wicked get punished every now and then. It gives me some hope.
Being banned from the UK is like the opposite of a punishment.
What are you on about? Don't believe the news and social media posts. It is fine here. It's not perfect but it's not a punishment to come here
It's full of British people.
no lardy cake left for you then fatso
great news!
Well, well, if it isn't the consequences of his terrible choices.
Doesn't matter tho. He still has plenty of fans willing to fork over hundreds of dollars to "separate the art from the artist." Maybe people should stop doing that?
When you stop separating the art from the artist you have to blacklist a lot of them. Many of them are incomplete human beings with terrible personality traits.
Britain won’t rest until the only entertainment left is morris dancing and reruns of Fawlty Towers
Better than 95% of entertainment these days and I don't care about morris dancing.
Too bad 🛎️🏏
As a former Morris dancer, I would absolutely attend a festival where the headliner is a Morris side.

Honestly, I still have hope for him eventually. People are complicated. But I'm ignoring him for a few years. Don't give a shit what his new music sounds like, or anything he has to say. He dropped his apology, now's the time to sit in the background and show the world he means what he says. Words are useless, have to be backed up by actions now. And I'm tired of hearing about his acions. He needs to learn to shut the fuck up for a while.
I'm pretty sure he was warned of the consequences of going Nazi when he did it. Going to take more than words from a publicist to regain trust.
