Pendulum?

[Muppetmark]

Announced for nova rock in Austria playing live. Other headliners ?

[thewayiam]

There is a dj set from them at electric forest Glasto weekend so unless they are Friday and playing there Sunday and Glasto means loads to then I don't see it. They have made previous comments about Glasto. They are clearly only going to be about early on for around 2 weeks so I'd think their own date is more likely now early then a return for August. R&L or Cream I think have snapped them and I'd hazard a guess it's Cream, who I also think will get The Prodigy...it might be a lineup too strong to ignore next year.

Genuinely surprised that there was any demand for them to reform, let alone reappear at Glastonbury.

There's been demand since they split up.

[Mezhyp1]

Their show at Ultra last year was laughable, they're 100% in it for the money, they'll never play the farm again

They were great in 2009 to be fair. Would probably see them again, though that was probably their peak.

[Cornelius_Fudge]

Was their performance in 2011 really that bad and a genuine reason that led them to break up? Seemed like a bit of strange placement before the new Queen of pop.

Would like to see them again. The show would be great surely in a more Pendulum friendly field... subbing the Other Stage for example. Would be also great to see Knife Party there too

Agreed. Rubbish.

It wasn't good. Was a really odd slot for them to play. Just didn't seem right with the sun still out and most of the crowd were not interested, just waiting for Beyoncé

Didn't go that year so can't comment on how they were (not that I would've seen them anyway) but it's easy to forget just how big they were back then. I did think 'hmm' when I first saw their placement that year, but it also made total sense in that they were the most suitable sub for Beyonce on the lineup/the other sub acts were far more suitable for their respective headliners.

If they played they'd almost definitely be a Other headliner this time 'round. Would make a good alternative to either Radiohead or Sheeran.

I actually quite enjoyed the set, but agree it needed to be darker.

If The Prodigy aren't there then I'd defo take these. I still think it would be opposite RH, but a little less chance.

Can't see Example headlining Other.

[Bisque]

Saw them three times 2011. Sub at Glasto then headlining Global Gathering & Bestival. Glastonbury was by far the worst I've seen them out of their 7-8 gigs I've been to whereas they were brilliant at the the other two fests.

I'd love them back doing a live set.

What about the Metallica cover?

Pendulum's Master of Puppets / Slam needs to be brought to Glastonbury, opposite Ed is the ideal.

That would be the worst clash since Coldplay vs The Chemical Brothers for me.

Have them opposite Radiohead would be more of a contrast/crowd split (& make me happy).

[zero000]

I don't get on with Drum and Bass most of the time, but Pendulum somehow managed to make me despise the entire genre even more.

[nikkic]

They were great in 07, good in 09, awful in 2011. 

They should have stopped after Hold Your Colour. 

[shoptildrop]

I've always enjoyed them live, best set I've seen was Leeds festival 08 my god the tent went insane!!! It was fantastic!!

[plaskins]

I remember dancing wildly to their '09 set. So, it's a yes please from me.

[rivalschools.price]

Yeah,i'm hopnig they're booked too

With five studio albums (I couldn't believe it was five) his booking would defo help filter out the young 'uns from the Radiohead crowd

[Madyaker]

You guys love your drum n bass  I heard it playing in so many of the late night venues last year, you'd never hear it at an irish festival and it never gets played in clubs and stuff. Pendulum would probably be good fun if there's nothing else on.
