Well, after reading through all that I reckon I've earned the right to contribute my ill-informed two penneth.

U2. Made some excellent music. Bono's views can be contentious. They'd be brilliant I reckon. They would play crowd pleasers and anyone who's been that big for that long must have something.

That is all.

Love the fact that Colleges in America have f**king stadiums, crazy.

Shame about U2 really, I'm not too bothered that they're not playing but if the set list was good at Glastonbury it could have been brilliant.

So U2 - well known for being difficult and outrageously expensive - are going to fly back during a break in their American tour - without most of their set - just to play a festival they appear to have next to no time for?!

Hmm..... I think not. Dream on.

They ain't going to play people.

'Wooderson' date='Oct 26 2009, 10:17 PM' post=3011667]U2 would have zero trouble with "just" playing the Pyramid. Michael has wanted them before, U2 want to play Glasto. Its a perfect fit.

This tour will be long finished the year after next - maybe they might do it then? Either way I wouldnt bet against them playing at all. Their problem with it in the past had more to do with their control of the broadcast on the Beeb to be honest.

Once Bruce and Neil did it last year, the Stones and U2 are conspicuous in their absence from the Glasto Allumnus Assoc. Don't write them off at all.

    • made a last minute decision to go to Belladrum festival.   it was absolutely wonderful.   never been before, to be honest I think I was expecting a stage in a field and a burger van, but its nothing at all like that.   the site is beautiful, its small enough to get around, but big enough that there are things to discover round each corner, there are a good number of small stages tucked away.   you could quite easily convince yourself you were in Glastonbury in places.   I may have only been one time, but already learned a valuable lesson - the site itself may be Glastonbury like, but the "general camping" campsite is very much Reading like! as the morning mist rises... its a view like the Do Lung Bridge scene in Apocalypse Now...   so if you are not 15 years old, go to family or quiet camping which is fantastic.   its a real family friendly festival to - loads of families and kids of all ages running round and stuff for them to do.   I would 100% recommend it, and I really can't see any reason why I wont be going back next year!   🙂 
    • In terms of a Manchester/Leeds date, Wythenshawe? Too big for Castlefield Bowl, Kirkstall Abbey, Millennium Squade

    • No not, yet but it should be any day now, hopefully. I'm sure I saw something about them arriving this week, somewhere, but I can't remember where I saw it....
