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

    • You do get some weird swings here and there, so... Cypress Hill?
    • 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.
    • Annie Lennox could be the one to unite the whole forum, nobody has a bad word to say about her, even noted curmudgeon Skip 😄 I'd probably even amble along for a bit meself, and i'm also a miserable sod 
    • 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/
