If Pink took U2's place I would SERIOUSLY reconsider watching The Flaming Lips. Better tunes than U2. I'm deadly serious by the way.

[Magic Bus]

Am I the only one that thinks this situation is exciting? I wasn't that thrilled by U2 and would go and see them as they are supposed to be legendry, but am interested to see what GFL pull out of the bag if they don't make it.

Don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for Bono, and hope he makes a speedy recovery, though.

now im far from being a massive u2 fan but there's some seriously shocking shite bands being suggested here as suitable replacements... coldplay, snore patrol, foo fighters, dizzee f**kin rascal ffs and much as i like the chemical brothers i dont think they deserve the slot either... even im starting to hope bono makes a speedy recovery! if this had happened before the deadline for refunds and any of those had been announced as the replacement there would still be a mountain of tickets left for sale, ME is going to have to pull someone massive out of the bag or the 40th anniversary line up is going to go down as the biggest damp squib in the festivals history! even mccartney or bowie wouldn't really rescue it as they've already played so it really has to be led zep!

If he was to have a pop a the lips or nick cave however, that's when I'd be getting changed into my keyboard warrior costume

[dirty_dog]

I was almost on the front row and had a great time but that's still a crock of shite. Unless your definition of 'one of' is top 50

[Salt_On_Everything]

yep top 50 is about right. 40 yrs of glasto so top 50 is pretty good. far too many cocks on here and there crawling out the woodwork tonight.

Given that they wouldn't play when the line-up was originally being put together do you *really* think they'll play as a back-up?

[Wooderson]

no... what im saying is that if eavis wants a friday headliner as unique and as big a draw as u2 then there are very few bands that would fit the bill, led zep being one of them

[Jimages]

Like a few others, not really a fan of this band but would of wandered along to see what all the fuss was about.

I hope they can make it, it would be such a blow to the festival after all the hype they've received :/

[Dunney77]

I think if any band is bought in it is going to be Kasabian actually....wanted to play this year 'if needed', would piss me off, i love them but they are the sluts of the festival world

Still hoping for U2 so much though

And his point is that he'da booked them if he could have already. A sensible enough viewpoint dare I say it.

[Dunney77]

Anyone asked emily eavis on twitter yet about the situation?

[Zacko]

The Smiths then?

Seriously though, this could be a huge blow to the festival and I'm quite sad that U2 might not be able to play.

Get well soon Bono.
