Did you see the concert they put on youtube, I gave it a watch just to see the stage set-up. They sounded awful, Bonos singing was terrible. At least I know Ive got the Friday night free to do other things and not worry about missing the headliner.

Whoever they come up with on Sat and Sun are certainly gonna need some balls to follow U2.

I know there are some who are not big fans but this is quite an unusual occasion and in my view U2 have to take a lot of credit for stepping up to it in the middle of a US tour. And of course for Glastonbury (and ME personally) its a massive coup.

I followed U2 years ago and guess, perhaps like some others, I have drifted away from them a bit in recent times given their uber-status and everything that goes with it. But I have to say that this morning I am SERIOUSLY excited about this.

It will have that same sense of occasion that went into making an epic performance by Blur this year and we'll just have to see if U2 can seize the moment and deliver in the way that Blur did.

But the really interesting thing now is that if you are Bowie, Radiohead, Led Zep or anyone else mulling over a headline offer for Sat / Sun, how does this news make you feel? Like I said, whoever it is it will take real guts and an ego big enough to stand up and be counted.

If U2 are on Friday then this means one of two things, either it was the only night they could realistically have played due to commitments, or two they have someone MASSIVE for saturday ...

And that could only be Led Zeppelin imo

Still looking good for the Zep. :P:P

Wow, could you imagine?! U2 and Led Zep. I'm creaming my pants already

Big booking for Michael Eavis....They will get a huge crowd, would imagine easy as big as Springsteen managed. Will i be there...depends on who else he has booked, and what sort of set list they do..early sfuff ok, don't rate the new material. How is Michael going to top this for Saturday and Sunday. :P

    • 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.
