Seeing the Foxboro Hot Tubs there would be amazing. Would love to see them over Green Day tbh.

Green Day would be much more entertaining that the 2.5 hour self indulgent snore fest Springsteen subjected Glastonbury to this year.

If they are deemed 'suitable' and get a slot at all, I should think it'll be headlining the Other Stage.  Even though they are very popular, they just don't seem right to headline the Pyramid, which is more suited to more of the Coldplays, Muses amd Stones of this world.

It seems like they've pencilled in a slot for Glastonbury in their touring schedule, and are just waiting for Eavis to say yay or nay (didn't someone on here say they'd actually asked for a slot?)

They have asked, but it appears they don't have much (very little anyways) room in their schedule.

I imagine all the punters who enjoyed him would disagree...

My daughter thought he was fantastic (apart from American Land, which went on way too long....), but would die of happiness if Green Day were on...

ps.. how do you know it was a snore fest.. you didn't stay and watch to prove a point did you?

On our way back from Franz Ferdinand we had to fight our way through the Springsteen crowd, and faintly above the American schreeching could be heard a distinct snore. Must have been guyfawkes.

you should get yourself a job as a music critic...

Prepare for the Springsteen brigade to lambast you over your opinion, which is 100% correct

Yeah i did watch the whole set, my friend loves him so i stayed with him, after about an hour i was bored stiff. Im only yanking a few chains anyway, the boss did nothing for me but i know loads of people who saw the set loved him.

Green Day id imagine would do the same as with every popular band, some love them some hate. Personally i love Green Day and their gig in Manchester last week was amongst one of the best ive seen. I think they would go down really well at Glastonbury, they certainly know how to have fun on stage and it rubs off on the crowd.

As much as i do love them id actually prefer someone else as ill be seeing them at the Manchester stadium gig a week before glasto!! I certainly wouldnt complain though if they were there. Id take the Stones over Zep personally but Zep would still be awesome.

Stones still do touring every few years, Led Zep don't so that's why I would go for them.  Chances are pretty slim though
