vivlite....CONGRATS!! okay it's official, basically everyone on Atop is going to see Adam with Queen. Except me.  I'm getting very excited for you peeps....really... I am!  I'm not going! You and I will be here that day chatting and watching the live stream!  I'll be right here with both of you! OH! And Nica, too. Can you imagine the electricity that will be going through the crowd when Queen and Adam take that stage and they start singing and playing all the POWERFUL Queen classics?!! The magnitude of the whole thing is kind of overwhelming to me. I can just imagine the emotions that will be felt by Adam, Brian, and Roger! Man....I wish I could be there!  |

It did cross my mind! I love the UK and Adam but as DH reminded me I panic in big huge crowds plus I just ruptured two disks in my back so it would not be the smartest move I've ever made :( At least I will have my passport updated for future events!

Nonotme, the Sonisphere festival is paying Queen! They are the headliners for Saturday night, at a huge 3 day festival. At a historic venue for them and their fans. Their only UK concert for 2012! I would guess they are getting a huge fee. Out of which will come Adam's guest vocalist fee. I just did a rough guess of what that festival might gross for 3 days and without even considering merchandise, I got 37 million! Could this festival afford to pay the headliner, of each night 2 million? 3 million? I would say yes. Is Rhianna's fee for a huge festival or are you quoting her concert figures? For a concert, that sounds about right. Festivals like Sonisphere would be completely different. I was off looking for more info for a bit and found this: Ben Turner is co-founder of the association of independent festivals (AIF) that represents the likes of Green Man, Eden Sessions, Get Loaded In The Park, Bestival, Creamfields, Evolution Festival, Field Day/Underage, Secret Garden Party and WOMAD.
He's told BBC 6 Music it's not uncommon for the biggest UK festivals to fork out more than a million pounds for a headliner, something which he says continues to rise.
from here: www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/10338371article is from June 2010. So, yeah, Queen could be getting quite a bit! peace&love |

Has anyone heard from Readon lately??? READON, WHERE ARE YOU, BB????  I'm here everyday on every thread. Because of RL, I am not able to post in realtime, but I read every thing that is posted. Sometimes, I don't get to the thread until 1 or 2 am in the morning, but I am still here. Currently jealous of all of you who are gong to Sonisphere. Have fun. It's going to be a "surreal experience". Gotta get my ass more in gear because BB needs every fan. More later. Thanks for thinking of me. |
