This is a great announcement, always wanted to see them but will not pay the prices they charge for tickets. Greatest hits set = winner.

I stand by Take That and Robbie headlining the Sunday though, bit of diversity and all, with Led Zep sandwiched in the middle... :P

U2 has now been confirmed form multiple sources, not just The Scum. According to an unofficial Glasto website:

A source said "Everyone is over the moon that the deal has been done.

Michael really wanted a huge name for the 40th anniversary and the fact U2 have never played Glastonbury in their 32-year career only adds to the mystique.

In fact Eavis has been asking them for a while now and really stepped up the effort this year. This could be an iconic moment."

Michael Eavis said, "The 26-year-old rumour has finally come true. At last, the biggest band in the world are going to play the best festival in the world! Nothing could be better for our 40th anniversary party. And there are even more surprises in the pipeline."

surely all this books to the only band bigger on earth than u2 headlining on saturday?

"IF I DON'T GET SOME SHELTERRRRR"

If eavis doesn't provide the stones i will be f**king gutted, u2 are w*nk and there's no way that's an equal headliner for neil young playing friday last year.

and all these springsteen nay-sayers, suck a dick, he's the greatest live performer in the world, and i don't even think the mighty stones could top his performance this year.

but give me the stones, dylan, bowie [providing he provides old stuff] and a few smaller tent headliners [roger mcguin eg:], and ill forgive the mighty eavis for dropping the ball on this ...

... one of the worst friday night headliners i could've thought of.

    • 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/
    • 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
