does it not?!!! yet again people making sweeping statements about a bands fan base

I was simply making a relevant statement in regard to Glastonbury - relevant enough for you to cut off the bit that put it in that context so that you could have your disingenuous rant.

The simple fact is that whatever greater sales Bon Jovi might have had over U2, if Bon Jovi were announced as headliner for Glastonbury there wouldn't be even half the excitement about it as there is over U2.

Get over it.

Yeah, but Glastonbury doesn't tend to be full of middle-aged middle-class mums. So in Glastonbury terms U2 are massively bigger.

Have you been going to the same Glastonbury as me? I'd say that is rapidly becoming the main demographic these days. Not that I'm complaining you understand, I'm married to one, so I daren't.

(And, for similar reasons [tho a different demographic], Green Day don't much measure up as Glastonbury headliners in my eyes - they're too niche in many ways).

I'm a middle aged middle class mum & I don't think I could name a single song by Bon Jovi.

Don't worry, it's not compulsory.

MIDDLE aged?  MIDDLE class?

So you're half way there?
