Okay this is PURE speculation, infact it's probably not even that, it's just a bit of a punt and and prodding a bit of fun at Emily Eavis, but...

Emily denies Stevie Wonder is playing
Emily denies The Strokes are playing
Emily also denied that Green Day would be playing Glasto 2010 a while back (I remain a big fan so it was big news to me).

Green Day are in Ireland on 23rd June, then Paris on 26th.

They will have done their stadium shows by then and are doing no other festivals.

Surely as a very outside chance, it's possible.

If EE says it ain't happening at Glasto, it probably is.

Emily is not completely unable to tell the truth.

I would guess that being American and out for the cash they won't. Really doubt it tbh.

And if they were you would find me on the opposite side of the site

ooh how i would die a happy man if this happened but really its not, they are playing paris the next day and the reason they (the fest) denied it was that "apparently" it would be too dificult for them to get the gear to the site then to paris for the next day (someone correct me if wrong) but tbh i'm seeing them on wednesday so i'm not too fussed if they played or not

[Porcelina]

Yeah I'm seeing them on Wednesday too, it'd just be a nice little bonus gig if it happened.

I think it's possible but unlikely.

Hope not they are terrible

^^^ +1

Far too self indulgent to do it as a secret gig.

And i'm a fan before you start.

Having seen them at Wembley tonight I'm in no doubt that it would be a crying shame of Green Day don't play/headline Glastonbury some day.

They were truly exceptional. Played 33 songs in close to three hours. Greatest hits set and threw in some crowd pleasing covers. The key thing was that they clearly enjoyed themselves and seemed genuinely pleased to be there.

They are the last of the big bands left that I've ben wanting to see and I'm so pleased I finally got around to it. Straight into my top 5 gigs of all time.

Real shame they won't be at Glasto this year (no chance of a secret gig whatsoever) - my concern is that as much as I love ME he doesn't seem to want to consider the likes of Green Day, Foo Fighters, RHCP for slots on the pyramid. I can but hope they catch tonight's show because if that doesn't persuade them nothing will.

saw them on Wednesday in Manchester and half way through i did think also that it would be such a shame if they never played, alright they seem to be maybe a bit too "heavy" for glasto, maybe a bit too rocky but if Jay-z can then why not Green day, would be an amazing show and i think one of the most memorable acts to grace the Pyramid if they were ever to headline...

If Muse aren#t too rocky then Green Day et al ahouldn't be. I believe there are some concerns about booking 'rock' acts related to the deaths at Roskilde a few years ago but I really can't see it being an issue. I think there's also the fact that ME doesn't really like the type of music (I remember him saying of RHCP "that's music for kids, isn't it?")

More importantly, how was frank turner, would have loved to see him playing wembley, first time I saw him was in a club with about 30 people

Got there late so didn't see him. Shame but looking forward to seeing him at Glasto. I suspect he won't have gone down brilliantly with the dedicated young GD fans i.e. the ones who will have been there and at the front when he was on.

I've never seen him before or really properly listened to his stuff but he was pretty damn good like.

Oh and Green Day were absolutely brilliant Would have definitely gone down well as a headliner.

I was in the golden circle and most of the people there seemed to really like him, including the ones right at the front.

well if he went down anything like he did in M'cr then he was awesome and the crowd loved him more than Joan Jett

Fair enough - as I say I wasn't there. I did notice a few negative comments on Twitter though.

Take it Golden Circle was for first few thousand people in? Always like that touch (I remember getting it at a U2 gig at Twickenham) - much nicer than just charging extra like they used to do at Hyde Park.

Yeah was a first come first served basis. I dunno, I don't mind paying an extra tenner for a guaranteed spot in golden circle instead of having to queue up for ages and do a mad dash just to try and get in.

[rexclark]

Really can't stand the Green Day of new and doubt they'd be that well recieved at Glasto.

I just feel like it rewards the loyal rather than the wealthy. Plus it's ofeten more like an extra score (or more) rather than a tenner. Not sure how they run it at Wembley but I'd guess not all that well. At Twickers they had a great queuing system with barriers. The best part was getting the wristband and going off for a pint and curry before coming back 3 hours later right at the front!

Now that would be good for Glasto!
