Wahey!

Complete guesswork but looking at the tour dates theyre in Japan/AUS/NZ and then working their way towards Europe. Playing Dubai in March. 

Dale Skjerseth, the production manager for the tour, said: "I've been told there's no end date."

"I've seen plenty of dates going into next year, far into next year"

Heres hoping they're intelligent enough to know what a Glasto headliner slot may bring them. And they're friends with Metallica.

I love slash, shame a slept through him (and faithless) when he played

[The Nal]

Indeed. Duff is also quite wise in the ways of the world too. 

They did Coachella so why not?

Coachella is quite a lot of money though, isn't it(?) Plus, being in the middle of the desert, I can imagine they're probably more lax about Axl coming in an hour later and running past noise curfew. Not sure if he still does that, but I remember reading about that sort of thing from time to time.

aye but Coachella undoubtedly threw an absolute fuckload of money their way, and whilst Glastonbury might up their fee like they did with the Stones, i doubt it's gonna be as much as they want, but as you say, there are other factors that could possibly sway them

[Gnomicide]

Bring it on....

$7 million a show yeah. They played 2 shows.

I'm hopeful that they're at least open to it considering they're mates with Metallica and idolise The Stones.  

Radiohead aren't the main headliner so the Saturday night headliner has to be someone huge right? ie a singer with red hair..........

Didn't realise that's how the headliners worked? 

Is the Saturday night the main one?

Been rumours going back months that they're doing stadiums in July. Saw Croke Park on a reportedly 'leaked' list earlier today - nowt for the UK but I imagine at that rate it'd be Wembley.

thats what im saying above, they WERE shit......now they are a hell of a lot better, look at any recent live vids and youll notice the difference. 

Fair enough... like I said I'm a fan so if I could see them and they were on form it sounds perfect. 

Also like someone said Paradise City on the Pyramid would be epic!! 

[Kay95]

Yup... came here to say I'd seen them and they came on really late and were shocking.... this was way back tho (Roskilde 2006).... seeing these recent videos is very exciting - GnR on form headlining the Pyramid would be awesome

If they're charging in dollars, there's no hope.

I bet Neil Lonsdale voted leave.

I think so. Usually anyway. The Saturday night headliner gets the longest slot if they want it, late start late finish and the run of the Pyramid Stage if they want it. Everyone else usually has to work around their setup. Kanye, Stones, Bruce, Metallica etc all had it. Bruce had his crew working at 7am. 

Although U2 played Friday and pulled out the previous year which was scheduled for Friday. 

Can @eFestivals shed any light on this?

GnR are a bunch of remoaners. I hope they play and start with November Remain.

I saw Guns and Roses at Reading a few years back, they were really late and not very good. 

I'm a fan but I think they're past it and too into themselves. 

That wasn't Guns and Roses you saw at Reading. 

Rude to compare that lineup to this years reunion lineup, from all accounts they sound great this year and have been nothing but professional

I personally think them doing their own shows is more likely, perhaps Wembley or the o2 or something. Just a guess, tho.
