Bon Jovi to headline?

[sisterofmercy]

I scoffed at the thought of Spinal Tap playing Glasto this year and somehow I ended up watching them, thought they were ace.

I'm not a huge fan of Bon Jovi but it would be a laugh to see them play in the sunshine with some cider.

I've said earlier on i like Bon jovi and I'm not female, look beyond the 80's stuff (not that there is anything wrong with livin on a prayer, everybody knows it and it'd be a great sing a long as would you give love a bad name!) and you'll see many grat rock songs! It's just like judging billy Joel on his 80's material (uptown girl, tell her about it etc) I can only hope people here are bright enough to know he is much than that as are Bon jovii of this 'cheesy crap', get on YouTube and search for keep the faith, I believe, dry county, something to believe in and these days etc and you'll see another side to them, I can see this dividing the board again like Bruce (but more more so!)

And being a big Bon jovi fan i can say there is no way jon Bon jovi would settle for anything less than a headline slot at glastonbury, no way

Spinal Tap & Quo this year.

Perhaps to accompany Bon Jovi next year they could get The Darkness to reform?!?

[thegremlin_1999]

Do people who go to Glasto like anyone?!! Bon Jovi are a great live band, I'd happily go and see them. I somehow doubt they are Eavis' thing though.

Don't think this will happen.

Just thought about getting tix for my wife for O2, but £200 a pop for best seats would probably mean a re-pricing for Glasto.

Will please the majority who seem to be BJ haters, but they would have been entertaining.

Wouldn't bother me if they played or not, I'd be elsewhere anyway... people there are other stages you know

This is true, but I think it's a bot of a red herring, there's a limited amount of money for bands, and every band that gets booked (and costs a fair bit of cash as I Imagine bon jovi would) means there's less money and slots available for bands I like. So I reckon it's perfectly appropriate to say if you like something is shit and shouldn't happen. It's not just about stages, it's also about resources.

[Mardy]

I disagree, there is a limit on what Glastonbury pay bands and as such they would get the same as any other headliner would.

[Paul ™]

Absolutely I understand that, but my point stands, if you pay Bon Jovi 150,000 then you can't pay (insert name of favourite band) 150,000.

what's that got to do with anything?

[Joe_]

Just a spot of casual, tongue in cheek stereotyping. It's not as if everything Bon Jovi did between New Jersey and Keep the Faith was a simpering, soggy, sentimental power ballad or anything.

[Zacko]

Gotta agree about IOW getting them instead, they seem like the type of band who would play there instead of Glastonbury.

Stranger things have happened though...

[paulo999]

As someone else said, they're not really the Eavis' thing. Can't see either Michael or Emily being a fan. The only slot I could see them getting would be a lunchtime "get things started" Pyramid - but even that's stretchy. They've not really reached the ironic-cheese status of Status Quo or Bjorn Again.

Overall, v.v.unlikely I think even in a low slot.
