Macca

Surely the Rolling Stones. The best band in the history of rock n' roll would be one hell of a way to celebrate the 40th anniversary.

[The Nal]

Pink Floyd

As much as I don't have any real affection for U2, there ain't many bigger who Eavis can call upon now!

Obviously The Rolling Stones, Led Zep spring to mind, like they have for everyone else on these forums today....

as much as i'd like it to be led zep. i really think it might be the stones. i'd would love to see the stones too. and i'm really not writing off led zep either. long story short, i don;t know, but i think neil does and i'm excited about that.

i'm also thinking that either muse or radiohead are nailed on for the sunday.

fleetwood mac to headline? surely not...

i'd wet myself with excitement but they're no way bigger than U2...

[jeffie]

I did a Wiki search for biggest bands by sales....

No U2!!

[jeffie]

In fact next down from poor old Mikey J is AC/DC and that won't ever happen!!

[shortleg]

Kylie ??

I wouldn't be surprised if there was an open invite to her.

And I think that Take That with Robbie is a good each way bet.

My god, this thread has more FFF's in it than a guy with a stutter in the Wigan end yesterday.

[anx]

karl kennedy's band

the Stones are a parody of themselves these days, nowhere near as good 'live' as people like to make out!

And U2 are playing friday night because they want to, not because theres a bigger band lined up imo!

[shortleg]

This thread is all on the premise that Sir Michael of Pilton really knows of a band "bigger" than U2.

Perhaps he just means more than 4 people in the band. Jools Holland and his band?
