No one's saying that it's not possible.

But flying twice across the atlantic in a few days isn't the sort of thing most people would choose to do if they had a choice about it, and U2 will have had a choice about it. Spending that much time in a plane over a few days isn't exactly fun, and can be quite draining before even considering the jetlag possibilities (tho I realise that can in theory be avoided).

bare in mind this is the publication that broke the exclusive that ACDC were headlining T in the Park last year!

I've just looked at this again, and the thing that jumps out at me is that they published this story on Nov 25th last year - the similarity of the two dates makes me think there's something along the lines of "it's the time of year we need to make up a story that implies we know stuff" going on.

if true I would be quite happy with this.

We all know what most people think of Bono so I wont go into that any more but I wold certainly saunter over and give them the time of day.

Wouldnt it be nice for them to leave their huge stage sets in the U.S and actually just have the 4 of them play like they used to. Ego's probably wouldnt allow but a set in teh vein of their redrocks gig would suit just fine.

it could be worse guys, we could get coldplay or kasabian....

U2 are to headline next year's Glastonbury Festival, making their first appearance at the Somerset event.

It will be a rare festival gig for the The Irish band, who will lead the line-up on Friday 26 June.

The stadium rock stars will break off from their North American tour to help Glastonbury celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Some 177,500 people will be at the event, but tickets sold out in 24 hours after going on sale last month.

Festival organiser Michael Eavis said: "I promised the the best possible line-up for the show next year and the confirmation that U2 will play their first ever Glastonbury - and their first major festival gig since the early 1980s - is fantastic news.

"We've been trying for years... And now we've finally made it happen. I'm sure they will pull out all the stops to make next year's Glastonbury the most memorable ever."

Promoter John Giddings said on Twitter: "It is true, U2 headline the Fri night @ Glastonbury. They fly back for the weekend in the middle of their US tour."

      2027 Headliners

      It was great, but I don't know why they continue to play Wide Lovely Eyes and Rings of Saturn, which are the weakest of the tracks off both PTSA and ST. Well, I do. It's cos they're about Suzie, so he can sing what he wants. They're the low points of the set. The rest is ace.

      I didn't this time, but I've seen them before and just because you saw both that night doesn’t mean you can compare them. The Stones were great, but.you didn't think so and you went somewhere else looking for a good time and you found it. For whatever reason you didn't like it, but you were an outlier and all the reviews said they were great.

      If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27, or that's what I've been told. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, i.e a verbal agreement for 2028, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/

      I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD
