what happens if volcanic ash stop U2 flying over

[DaiBoyCookie]

was wondering as they will be in the middle of a tour, is there a stand in to headline the fest

[st00ka]

It's obvious isn't it, they will be replaced by Ash.

he he.

Radiohead will walk there just to replace them!

Don't private jets fly lower than commercial ones?

[Langdale Wolf]

If U2 can't make it over, there will be a f**k load of other acts who won't be there either.

Scary thought actually.

[st00ka]

They could cross the atlantic in a massive paper aeroplane.

[whisty]

Worse than a virus!

Queen Mary 2 might be available, they should just about fit themselves and their entourage on that

[Filthy]

It would be a right PolLava and a Pummicement for all their fans. However I would expect them to make a magmanamous gesture and crater spot for some Crustie favourites or maybe Mantle as anything

[st00ka]

it will blow over, and everything will be right on the farm

[DaiBoyCookie]

It would clear a space for the chemical brothers

Would be interesting to see a list of bands that wouldn't turn up if the Volcano chundered everywhere again

[westwardhoboy]

Bono can walk on water can't he?

[PurpleDragon]

The volcano threw a huge wrench in Coachella.

It messed up the gorillaz set b/c a lot of them couldn't come over. For some reason, they couldn't find an artist who they have been hanging out with backstage for three days to step in on DARE to close the fest out : / Ended in a whimper instead with a slower song (Cloud of Unknowing). He didn't even acknowledge the crowd once during their set either.

Bad Lieutenant and Gary Nuwman also didn't make it, along with a slew of other acts.

Dizzee will step up and become a festival headliner because of it, so it is written by the prophets!

[Red Day]

Saint Bono can walk on water and will manage to carry the other three over

[dan05delaney]

Lets hope not, how would the helicopters fly in.

[Midnight Man]

They've probably got tribute acts on standby - Coldplay in this case.
