Crowded house are the perfect fun band to get the crowd going

Kasabian!!!

They rarely play Glastonbury (2004, other stage perhaps?) and I think they would fit in well before a 'legend' artist. I'd love the mix of Kasabian fans and 'legend' fans in the in-front-of-barrier area from about 8pm onwards...they even had a #1 album last summer, and when has Stevie last had one? so i reckon they could even get a bigger crowd than stevie (and if they do get a big crowd don't try telling me that all them people were there trying to get 'positioning' for br...err stevie)

there simply isnt a face palm big enough to do that statement justice.

if you really want to see them, go to V, but enough with the Kasabian for glasto 10 shit, its not going to happen, it shouldnt happen.and thats that!!

Some of these posts are absolutely rediculous. Rage against the machine before Stevie Wonder? Come on guys that just wont work!!

Sometimes I don't think people actually think about weather a certain band would work before a certain act clearly specialises in a genre, Machine Head and Rage just wont work! You need something like Earth Wind and Fire or Smokey Robinson before Stevie Wonder.

:P I can't believe I put Kasabian.

i like your thinking but im not sure we need a total motown night

its an important slot so it cant be taken lightly, but it doesnt need to be too heavy, it needs to be an act thats great live, with a repotoire big enough to fill an hour & 15 mins, with big numbers that can get the crowd up for the night and most importantly it needs to have a real big feel good factor.

i wonder if russycarps knows a band that meets the given criteria

    • Sadly, the ticket map below screams rear 5 blocks not on sale or never have been on sale. Especially when you look at the blue blocks with rows of unsold tickets.   And I say all of this as a big fan of Muse.  
    • Personally, I don't think there will be any changes to the queuing system in place for the 2025 sale.  GFL will be aware that true bots are a risk, but they may also see large collectives of organised folks running multiple devices, containers or profiles to get an advantage as bots themselves, and then struggle to know where to draw the line without penalising folks who are simply more on the ball than others.   They will also be acutely aware that engineering tech to close those gaps will cost, and therefore eat into the money they are able to pass to the Charities, without passing those costs on to punters in the ticket price, which they will be cautious of doing especially after a 2 year break and the inevitable media coverage that will get.   This may all be naive and overly trusting of me though.....
    • went to their album launch show last night at the george tavern. it was fantastic! absolutely roasting in there though
    • I got mine yesterday but they sent the wrong ticket link, so had to email Ticketmaster and get the right one.    As for predictions, hard to see who else could do the Pulp/Sting/Byrne slot other than the Cure, and since they did Isle of Wight they maybe have an FR deal (Sting did both). It’s also the Cure’s 50th next year so imagine they’ll be doing a bigger tour. Pet Shop Boys or Kylie maybe?   Wolf Alice would be a dream. It’ll probably all be men again though. 
    • Probably a couple of months yet....last ticket sale announcement was 10th October 2024.
