[TheEpiphany]

not a massive fan, quite similar all their songs imo, but just stumbled upon a video on the glastonbury site

coldplays the track to it, a clue perhaps? or am i reading too much into it?

personally i think they are a bit too similar to U2, and variation part of what Glatonburys about

[norainplease]

Lots of people have been commenting on how they are similar to U2 - I can't see/hear it personally but I suppose everyone is entitled to an opinion!

I think that if the Eavis' ask Chris Martin to do a set it would be a given, esspecially when they are always saying how amazing Glasto and the crowd are etc!!

Personally I would love them to play so I am really hoping all of the rumours I've heard are true!!

Guess we'll just have to wait and see, but if I was forced to thrown my hat in the ring I would say yes they are going to play!!!

I hope!!

I hope they play. Not seen them since Glastonbury 2005.

I wouldn't see them cause there a current touring band within my budget. (usually to see them in a stadium is £45.00) therefore I will have umpteen amount of oppertunities to see them in the near future. Also it would give me a great oppertunity to go and see something a little different, maybe something on the Jazzworld stage, Maybe something in the worm of Earth wind and fire .

Not against them or anything, think there great, but would be elsewhere if they played

[bunchy]

Wow another person who would like to see Coldplay not many of us on here!

[Insomaniac]

Fair enough they were great in the 90's but that was some time ago. Having watched the following video I can be sure that I will be elsewhere if they do play. With a headliner of this quality are we witnessing the end of Glastonbury? Whatever next? I shudder to think.

I'd love them to play personally. I think they're brilliant! Ive never seen them live so if they played id definately be there. Thing is that Coldplay are rumoured every year so this year will be like every other so whether they play or not is anyones guess but ive got all my fingers... And toes crossed that they do.

I think their last album is better than Parachutes and X & Y

[brabs]

Saw Coldplay first in 2001 at the end of the Parachutes tour and about 12 months ago in Manchester

Immense both times.

This needs to happen.

I'm already pretty dissapointed that U2 have taken a headline spot, Coldplay taking another spot would be devastating.

[Toilet Duck]

...so if U2 and Coldplay would be devastating...who could take the third to completely ruin your weekend??

[Sipperana]

<sits back and awaits pointlessly negative responses, some with failed attempts at humour>

[Insomaniac]

Have you got one of them for every potential headliner? The U2 one was funnier BTW

[Insomaniac]

perhaps someone else made this comment, i haven't read all of this thread BUT parachutes came out in 2000 i think!

[MEGABOWL]

Yeah I agree the U2 one was better, unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any for Muse or Rolling Stones. I like this one though from a previous Glastonbury headliner, especially Noel's vocals.

[norainplease]

Talk is a U2 song...lovers in Japan reminds of U2, but other than that I think it's probably the scale of the songs that makes people draw comparisons...(that sounds like a load of b*llox!).
