So SoaD can't yet in the last 5 years they've had Bring Me The Horizon, Royal Blood twice, ZZ Top, Motorhead, Enter Shikari twice, Metallica, QOTSA and others. Plenty of metal and hard rock bands play at Glastonbury.

That's hardly 'plenty of metal and hard rock bands' but I agree, it proves that SOAD could play.

Yeah but it's System of a Down. They're like the least Glastonbury booking going.

Not at all, do you think Glastonbury wouldn't book on the biggest metal bands of the 21st century, especially when they are rumoured to be having a new album?

Im not saying they will, I'm just saying that there's a clear chance they will play

You were doing well then said RB. They are nothing like the others.

Have you ever listened to QOTSA, they're very similar to Royal Blood.

There's not a clear chance that System will play. Utter lunacy to think Glastonbury would book them.

I don't think it's particularly likely that they'll play but I disagree with the idea that there's a 'Glastonbury type booking'. Just look at Recent Other Stage headliners: New Order, The Chemical Brothers, Jake Bugg, Queens of the Stone Age, Pet Shop Boys.

I don't think it's impossible but those acts (Gozpot) listed have far greater crossover appeal than SOAD do and I'd see them as a much stranger booking. Kinda on a par with them booking Limp Bizkit or something.

None of those are anywhere near as "out there" as System of a Down.

This is the guy who is also trying to make a case as to why Blink-182 playing Slam Dunk is completely feasible.

You love misquoting don't you?

Looks like Foos are back already. More likely for Glastonbury I'd imagine although arent their headliners pretty much known already?

there's been a big question mark over who the Sunday headliner will be since The Stone Roses got ruled out. Glastonbury in 2017 rolling out their return and then Reading/Leeds in 2018 with a new album would be my guess for Foo Fighters

Certainly one of the possible acts for 2018.

We could end up with something like Foos/Muse/Arctic Monkeys if they want to book strong in Glastos year off or equally book weak because of less competition and end up with one of those alongside BMTH or Royal Blood, probably the latter as I can't see Reading affording those three as headliner and still getting a reasonable undercard

I reckon they'll have at least one who hasn't headlined before yet, so my guess would be Foos/Arctic Monkeys/BMTH in 2018, 2017 being Kasabian/Kanye/Royal Blood & Alt-J coheadlining, or Royal Blood outright headlining

[PastRecedes]

Orrrr Foos/Kendrick/BMTH in 2018 which would be a lot better IMO

I think that virtually sums it up. We'll probably see tomorrow after Neil has seen I found if it's strong enough to put FF as SR and if there is legit I found out there he may well find out anyway.

Yeah, hip-hop doesn't belong at R&L and they never should headline. They should keep acts like Boy Better Know, A$AP Rocky, Nas, Kendrick, Run The Jewels, Macklemore and Eminem away...

(Sarcasm incase I didn't make that clear)

For someone with such a good eye for design, you should know better than to centre align text intent for long reading! Left align!!

How about an all-British set of headliners next year? Royal Blood, Kasabian and The Stone Roses?

Royal Blood as a outright headliner without having even announced a second album? Not happening.

Kasabian are a cert, Stone Roses seem possible, although with their reputation live i'd rather we got someone else.

Blink-182 with a 10 date arena tour in July so that rules them out for sure for anyone who still had any ideas about them playing.
