Well, I saw them last month at the Rose Bowl.

And, oddly enough have tickets to see them June 6 and June 7 here in California right before I head off for Glasto.

So, it looks sort of looks like three U2 shows for me in June.

However. because of having seen them multiple times (after June) on this tour it sort of frees me up if something else comes along that sounds like a good option to see instead on a smaller stage.

And, I have to say that they are a darn good act live (in my opinion)...but, what do I know...I'm American AND I like Bruce so much that I've seen him 26 times....:P

(Also, I do agree that Outlaw Pete is one of his low points...)

amazing news!

cant believe it..but its about time U2 did something like this. this is a risk and will have been very much influenced by bruce (not for the 1st time). they will also have been influenced when seeing bruces' back catalogue explode in sales and his latest album getting back on the airwaves. u2 are gutted they are losing the interest in the general music-loving public and have lost the younger generation after taking 5years since their last album.

no doubt they will have all their own tech crew pulling together something amazing for the pyramid stage. look what they did to slane castle. they will make it their own. dont foget how good u2 are at pumping money into their live show (the opposite of bruce - very low frills, cost cutting and dull). their current tour is making no money apparently as the cost of it is huge.

U2 will work and this is an amazing score for Glastonbury.

well done MR E!!

Not sure what to make of this. Great that such a huge band are going to be headlining...so why am i feeling so meh about it? :P

Was certainly up for some Muse action although I will no doubtedly be watching The Chems headlining the second stage.

But its months to go. Kinda surprised by it all and certainly the fact...eek...that the Scum got there first! :P

Meh meh meh!

I've had a thought - how about Jet playing underneath U2? A nice hour or so of uncomplicated, upbeat rock to get the crowd up?

They've got a new album out, with a European tour to follow next year. Surely Jet would be a good bet to play Glasto at some point in the proceedings? Get 'em booked, Michael!!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
