Arcade Fire as headliners?

[Langdale Wolf]

would be ace if they were, and the statement certainly applies to them as well as the lips! Billy Gibbons could teach that ballbag bellamy how to play a guitar without relying on ludicrous effects too

[russycarps]

They've got a gap in their tour. I've been watching their tour dates very closely. It'd be a marvellous Glastonbury moment.

Apparently they've been confirmed for Rockwerchter. I can't access the site at work, so does someone wanna check it out and post the announcement on here?

[Langdale Wolf]

seriously? You think there is any possibility? When would they be on? Sunday afternoon on the Pyramid? They are miles better than that slot.

i know its a bit off topic but considering AF are playing hove in norway on the 2nd and werchter on the 4th, would an appearance at roskilde on the 3rd make a lot of sense?

I'd be violently sick if Flaming Lips were to be considered a support act for Muse.

Although it would be quite hilarious to see "The Greatest Live Band In The World Ever!" get absolutely blown away by a band who have made consistently fantastic and varied music for over 20 years.

I've said it before but it is amazing that reading have got arcade fire and glastonbury muse. It just makes no sense. I am sure the majority of both audiences would be happier for some sort of swap to take place.

Really frustrating and I have to reluctantly say fair play to Reading for taking the risk that it seems glastonbury were not prepared to do!

(of course we dont know that glasto didnt try for them but it doesnt sound like they did)

Arcade Fire would be the risky headliner that glastonbury is famous for.

Muse? Bloody Muse???

gah! So frustrating

And the start of 100s of threads on here about them not being big enough for the 40th Anniversary etc

[Toilet Duck]

Devastating. I actually agree with Russy that they could have legitimately headlined the Pyramid. Oh well, I'm not going near Reading so here's hoping for a couple of dates beforehand.

[russycarps]

There's pretty solid information that they'll be playing a number of nights at the O2 in Dublin following their Oxegen appearance (in the autumn), wouldn't rule out the same in London....

[Langdale Wolf]

Yeh those threads would get messy. The days at work would just fly by!

[In transit]

My god, Arcade Fire at the O2 in london would be hideous.

Thank heavens I have seen them in various tiny intimate venues!

[russycarps]

Such days would be great!!!

Ah well - huge shame, but we've got U2 and Stevie. I am chuffed to bits with that - truly.

Agree with your Arcade Fire/Muse comments too, but hey ho. Muse are popular. Let their fans enjoy them. I'll be elsewhere.

[Langdale Wolf]

Sadly I can't share your laid back attitude towards Muse fans.

I will take out my impotent fury on every and all Muse fans that post on this forum

[russycarps]

I think you should as and when a fantastic alternative to the Bellamy jizz-a-thon is confirmed on another stage.

Come on man - you're above bitching about acts on the main stage. We might have Kloot/Walkmen/Doves or something on another stage.

In the words of Meatloaf (now there's a thought.....) '2 out of 3 ain't bad'.

Some of my fellow campers are huge Muse fans so I'm pleased they'll enjoy themselves. Doesn't mean I have to stay with them.

And f**k it - if all else fails - RED FLAG.

[Langdale Wolf]

I know, I know. Everything you say is right.

But so far everything about the festival seems to be going perfectly it seems Muse is actually the only thing there is to moan about!
