System of a Down?

[theDandy]

Could they play? In France on the Friday so could play the Saturday or Sunday maybe? Would they play at Glastonbury? Maybe afternoon on the Other? Would love to see them they hold a lot of nostalgia for me! 

[Fladog]

This would be incredible if they played, sugar getting blasted out on the pyramid would be awesome

[FloorFiller]

seem almost a certainty to be headlining Download again this year. don't see them as a likely option for Glastonbury at all, although i'd be all over it if it ever did happen

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Would love SOAD to be there. I was never that bothered but caught them a couple years ago at Leeds festival. Wife loves them so I went along. They were superb.

I can't see SOAD accepting a slot that low. They would demand an Other stage headline slot but at a push sub headline that stage. I just can't see it happening since they have better options elsewhere. I'd like to see them at Glastonbury even though they are ropey as hell live.

I think it would be amazing if they played and although Metallica and BMTH have played in the past to anme two metal bands, wouldn't system be considered a bit too heavy. Metallica had mainstream appeal due to their extensive back catalogue and BMTH have softened up in recent years and are now the darlings of radio 1.

This would make me almost as happy as yesterday.

Dates would make me suspect 9th or 11th at Download though.

They could definitely headline the Other Stage. I really want this to happen.

This would be great. I love all music but metal is something that always seems to be missing at Glasto.

They've had Deftones, RATM, Metallica etc in the past, so why not add System to that list. Headlining the Other Stage would be perfect.

SOAD aren't metal. They're a genre entirely in their own right

[danegg]

This would be great.

For me, They very much fall into my favourite category of Glastonbury acts- ones that I quite enjoy but i'd never pay to go to a gig.

I would seriously consider sacking off The Roses regardless of it being their only time their for SOAD on Sunday.

Agreed! 

Just imagining hearing them play Radio/Video at Glasto. Would be truly marvellous.

Actually I just checked. 1998. Amazing. Way before I started attending. They definetly need to come back. Similar slot to bmth this year or headline a smaller stage like john peel.

It would be truly amazing. tbh I don't think there's a single soad track I don't like.

They're the last on my list of favourite bands ever I have never seen live. Would be incredible to tick them off the list at my favourite place in the world.

[Jamie D]

What would be even better would be if as well as SOAD playing, Serj Tankian also did other gigs around the site with his various solo projects.

Not too fussed about Daron Malakian though.

[Mouseboy11]

They'd make a great other stage headliner, never seen them and it'd take something special on another stage for me to not be there!

Yeah 98 on the Other Stage. They were great, got totally caked in liquid mud, and as they were on at the same time as Robbie Williams, the crowd was small but very perfectly formed!

[Skoo]

SOAD at Glasto would be a dream come true for me. I'd love to see a little bit more heavy stuff in general at Glasto - obviously not to the extent that you get at Reading & Leeds, or Download. But more than just one or two acts, and even some more niche bands on the smaller stages would be amazing.
