Sonic Youth

[NowhereMan]

Firstly, Thurston Moore has said that they would love to play Glastonbury

Secondly, someone on the reading and leeds forum has said that they "know" someone on sound for glastonbury and he said that they are playing the other stage. This could be nothing though. it's on page 3 of that thread.

And Thirdly, they have a new album out this June (the 9th to be precise) and have said they are doing festivals.

So does anyone else think they could play the Other stage and if so, could they be a headliner. I think if they are playing they would be headlining the other stage.

Could the other stage headliners be - Friday - Sonic Youth, Saturday - Franz Ferdinand, Sunday - Kanye West.

I don't think sonic youth have the appeal these day to headline other. best they could do would be to headline the JP tent. if they played other I'd imagine it'd be somewhere middle to upper half

Sonic Youth would be fantastic on Friday but cause a real clash and probably add to the Old Lineup crap from people who either should know better because they've actually been to a few gigs over the years or don't know better because they haven't (in which case they are excused due to a lack of education). Throw in Mudhoney on the under card and I'll be setting up camp come Friday lunch!

Also, so far we have 2 young other stage headliners, I think Sonic Youth are a good band to balance it out.

They could still sell out thousand+ capacity venues easily over here so I think they'd easily top the crowd Panic at the Disco had.

I could top the crowd Panic had with my Impromptu Stand-up Comedy routine.

That would be an better show than Panic aswell!They are a dreadfull, dreadfull band. As for sonic youth: I would give my left limb and several other arteries to see them live, it would be amazing. I hope they headline on the friday night becase if they did I would be right up front to see these guys! I wouldn't give an arse if they goign a crowd of 20 people because they are my favourite band of all time!

Cheers,

When they played V a few years back they were 2nd top of V's 3rd stage, and its not like they've gained in popularity recently.

[Messy]

Please, please please.

[radioshed]

Would be brilliant, there new song is pretty decent too.

I'd like them on the smallest loudest stage possible really (playing daydream nation in it's entirety)..(with an encore of goo).

If Sonic Youth play GF there is no question but I'm there.

Headliner on the Other Stage on Friday night.

Start with a highly ironic "Dirty Boots"...

[mandypants]

I would be extremely, very, totally happy, they're top of my Haven't Seen Yet But Really Want To list Sonic Youth are awesome and have one hell of a back catalogue to choose from.

[Bradders]

Sonic Youth are cool with us young 'uns because they sell their t-shirts in Urban Outfitters... Lee Ranaldo did a song with The Cribs too which is how I got into them. They wouldn't headline though.

[Mardy]

JP tent or Park, I;d have thought

It would take more than a Teen Age Riot to keep me away

[Bradders]

I'd even Cross the Breeze to be there. (this'll be like the Radiohead thread all over again )

[NowhereMan]

I hate how they've suddenly got popular with people my age through their t-shirts and their name being dropped in Juno.

Goo is definitely one of my top 10 albums ever.
