'band X are touring this year, will they play Glastonbury?'

am I the only one getting irritated by these sort pf posts? I am having a shite day at work, so I am a bit irate. but for god's sake ,,,, do we have to have this inane question every time a band say's 'we are playing a gig' ???

Haha...I just got very irritated by the fact that there appeared to be ANOTHER 'Will XX be playing? thread only to find the opposite. :P High 5 my friend...you are NOT the only one thinking it.

Ok the trick is not to go anywhere near those threads isnt it but its nice to have variety to threads instead of bands some of us have never even heard of...ok thats probably just me but anyway!

BUT...in some way...you have to then think back to 08 and the misery and trolling that went on these boards cos of the Jay Z thing and supposedly shite line up. This year's Glasto build up on Chat...give it another month or two and the uber repetitive 'What should I pack' threads will start appearing...so less to worry about 'Will XX play'? :P

Enjoy x

there's not point trying to. the line up will come when it's ready. and you know theres going to be plenty to keep you occupied. so just look forward to it!

i'd happily go this year not knowing the line up til i get to the gates.

Well, it's early March, everyone's just paid their deposit and are dead excited but we don't have much to go on for the line up.

But we're not allowed to speculate as bands announce gigs.

So............what should we talk about then?

That Glastonbury's great eh.

Although I fully agree with the OP about this issue - asking whether anyone thinks a particular band might play is a pointless but inexplicably popular pastime on here - I think there's a more general point to be made:

If everyone decided to start a thread for everything they've decided the world needs to know - perhaps they'd had a particularly satisfying dump that morning - the boards would become a headache-inducing whirl of fast-moving drivel and not worth reading. I reckon if there was a limit on how many threads each person could start - say one a month - these boards would be transformed. If you know you've only got one crack of the whip, then you're probably not going to use it to tell everyone that you think you remember a bloke in the pub saying he knew someone who thought Kajagoogoo might be reforming.

Yeah it does take the piss a little sometimes with the very loose speculation as to who is playing. However part of the fun for everyone is discussing who may or may not be announced. I guess the drawback of having secured tickets much earlier is more time to fill with all the ramblings.

On a side note I misread the start of the thread and though it was about X going on tour. Got really excited there, would love it if they played :P
