..well, Live they generally have 4 (can't remember the name of the guy who's on this tour, but he playes keyboards while Matt plays guitar)...plus they use a lot of backing tracks...I've always been impressed by the amount of noise they can make. With a touring guitarist though they could do away with the pre-recorded stuff and then we might get some sponteneity to their shows again...

It's probably unrealistic and greedy to seriously expect the Stones or Led Zeppelin. I mean, whether you like them or not, scoring someone as massive as U2 for Glasto is a major accomplishment.

Haven't they said that the Saturday headliner is bigger already I thought?

I'm sure it was Neil who mentioned that, or at least mentioned that ME had said something along those lines.

I'm not aware of Eavis saying Saturday is a bigger act.

There's been presumptions from lots of people (including me) that it might be, as Saturday normally has a bigger act than Friday.

But having sat back and thought about it some more, I'm pretty sure that if there's a bigger act for the Saturday than U2, it can't be band and must be a solo artist - after all, Eavis announced U2 as (something like) "the biggest band in the world", which very much implies that there's no bigger band for Saturday.

It's possible I guess that I'm reading too much into that, but I think Eavis has been at it long enough to not risk pissing off a band of similar or bigger status by using a line like that without considering that it might cause some issues.

ahahahaha you're that tit who is thinking about not going to glastonbury because you want to see muse in paris arent you.

Those songs you state try hard but fail. Listen to some better music and you will understand. Led Zep or The Who will educate you.

Dude, it's not me, someone I know. And they are still going to Muse in Paris instead because she thinks that the whole of Glastonbury will be filled up with pricks such as yourself.

And for the record I've seen the who before, met Roger Daltrey and I saw Jimmy page and John paul jones at wembley with the Foo's.

Whilst I love MUSE, and I dnt wish for this to be untrue so as to upset you all! lol. I have just purchased 4 tickets to see MUSE at Lanc cricket ground, 3 of us are going to glasto!!! Id be happy to watch someone else, but it'd seem like wasted money.....

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
