So happy about this (and already taking loads of abuse from people at work who think they're rubbish)

There have been so many doubters on these forums it's amazing to see it confirmed.

I've seen them live three times and they've been three great gigs. I feel this will be the best.

For those that aren't fans please remember before you write nasty things that there will be lots of other places to be on the Friday night. And that there'll probably be decent amounts of space too becasue U2 will get a big crowd.

As much as I don't like Bruce Springsteen, his appearance this year didn't break the bank and he's in the same league as U2.

There's hundreds of festivals that probably pay massive money to headliners but there's only one Glastonbury. I'm pretty sure that the biggest bands in the world are well aware that the fee for playing Glasto will be less than some others but I'm pretty sure it's still a major honour to play it and the money is secondary

I'll be going along for sure, never seen them before. Realy liked their early stuff. Went off them a bit thou, music not as good nowadays imo, and Bono doing his political agenda.

Hopefuly they'll be savy enough to know that a festival crowd want the greatest hits rather than plugging the new album.

If they do that then it could be a 'not to be missed' set.

Bloody well done everyone at GF. A MASSIVE announcement.

U2 will get the biggest crowd in the festivals history unless they put someone equally massive up against them.

The Nal - time to get writing a few songs chief. That ticket aint gonna materialise for you that easy now. Every Paddy-whacker in the US is gonna want to go to this thang.

How good is "Bad" gonna sound on that feckin' thing by the way?!?!?!

I AM OVER THE FARKING MOON HERE. Superb stuff from the whole team at GF. Amazing.

WOW! Well done Michael, this is awesome news.

All the negative comments just prove that you can never please all the people all the time. Although I hope the naysayers really don't turn up as I reckon we're going to need a bit of elbow room in that field.

As for those who are bemoaning a 'bit of politics' at Glasto - God forbid hey? How the times have changed.

    • Naah, she plays 4 dates in Barcelona in early May 
    • It'd be new album stuff if it were to happen I think.  First 2027 headliner in the bag also?

    • Hilarious to describe this as suprising, for the guy who can't afford to go on holiday, the guy who goes on holiday is rich, for the guy who goes on holiday, the guy who gets 3 holidays a year is rich, for the guy who gets 3 holidays, the guy who stays in 5* hotels is rich, for the guy who stays in 5* hotels, the guy that flies business class is rich, for the guy who flies business class the guy with a private jet is rich etc..   I think one of the greens video's that they put out that went viral, Zacks description of "the rich" covered 12 people in the UK.
