You're probably right. Closing The Other Stage on Sunday night would be cool.

I have also spotted that England could be playing a World Cup game whilst the Festival is on!!

[SaintJimmy]

yeah we will find out next friday because thats when the 2010 world cup draw is

[guyfawkes]

I doubt it would of been Friday if anything and they are to big to play anywhere other than Pyramid Headliners, no chance they would headline the other stage. Last year it was FF, bloc party and prodigy i think they are a touch bigger than those bands.

...and they are to big to play anywhere other than Pyramid Headliners, no chance they would headline the other stage...

[guyfawkes]

but with the chances of another 2 U2 sized bands headlining the other days who knows where they could play plus didn't ME say he wanted bigger bands playing smaller stages??

[future_shock]

As much as I would love more bands of that ilk I just really don't like greenday. Never got into them, even when I was like 15/16. If they did play they would have to headline somewhere I'd imagine, they are a pretty huge band these days, or perhaps below U2.

[5co77ie]

I don't think the average age of glastonbury punters makes them the kind of act suitable, unless you happen to know that tickets were all bought by teens and twenty-somethings

[WS_Jack_III]

i would say they will play before U2. Never really liked them but they would be a massive crowd puller if they were on.

No, not for me thanks. I was 12 a long time ago.

[5co77ie]

please forgive my rudeness, but if your not interested, why are you even on this thread?

[BlackHole2006]

Other Stage headline is a dead cert.

[St.Jimmy]

I think possibly Breeze is a Glastonbury veteran and perhaps voicing an opinion that many of those who have purchased tickets would probably say. I didn't realise eFestivals had a fans comment only policy

[5co77ie]

I'm just wondering, hypothetically, if they are the announcement for IOW headliner when it's made on Monday, does that make them less likely or more likely to play Glastonbury?

[rexclark]

I just can't see them attracting the huge crowds at Glastonbury the way they would at Reading and Leeds or Download. this isn't musical snobbery it's just different festivals attract different crowds.

[guyfawkes]

Their last 2 albums certainly share a political theme i associate with Glastonbury and they are more a Rock band now than punk, even then their old stuff was only really pop punk. I think they'd go down well but i must admit i dont see them as a Glastonbury headliner nor do i think they'd accept anything less.

I don't really want to see bands like this at Glasto its nice to see headliners ive never seen before, plus they are doing their own headline shows in summer in the uk and these bands often avoid festivals.

[eFestivals]

and fair play to him, but i meant it in a 'raining on someone else's parade' kind of way as im sure, like me there will be plenty of people that would be over the moon if they heard greenday were to play glasto

This thread asks a question. Breeze gave his answer to that question.

How's he done anything wrong?

[BlackHole2006]

oh contrare....been to see them twice recently and the average age of the audience was probably fortysomething - including me !

[EamerRed]

Am pretty sure you'd struggle to find a better live band, and they have a surprising number of fans. While many may find them annoying/dislike most of their music, everyone always knows and likes a song by Green Day.

[Late]

Went to see them recently and the average age had to be mid 20s. Would be great to see them at Glasto.
