Sort of (goodish) news... I have just gotten home from work and have a message from a friend in Miami who has done a bit of digging... He's a reporter for NBC (or some other network) and has been ringing around the stadiums in the US to see if they know of anything. So far, Soldier Field and Sunlife Stadium (I think they are the shows on 3rd and 6th July) have had no requests to potentially postpone or cancel from U2 management - so that MAY be a good sign. Hopefully something offical should come about soon

Glad to be helpful (ish) - I got the dates wrong though - those are the shows on the 6th and 9th July - i'm not quite as much of a U2 geek as I might appear! Christ, I had to look them up! Some REAL freaks fans would be ashamed! :P

I really want U2 to play. I'm not a fan, but I would imagine that they would put on a good show.

It won't be a disaster if they don't as I reckon the festival organisers phone will be ringing off the hook with agents representing acts wanting to replace U2.

Kylie is promoting her new album, I hope it's not her.

that was a pretty damn awful reply

and yeah i imagine Eavis has had tons of offers for bands to headline. whether he considers any good enough is another matter. it is Glasto after all (and the 40th anniversary) so they don't want any old crap headlining

      2027 Headliners

      By mufcok · Posted

      There is a chance that Norton's reaction was very much like our reaction, because people in this country tend to think 'big = Glastonbury'.   Having said that, though, I'm fairly sure they've gone for her again this time, and it's broken down. Whether it's only just broken down or not, I'm not sure, but I'd air on the side of - they thought they had her, up to a certain point.

      Live at the Piece Hall 2027

      By sheffinghell · Posted

      Yeah, I did wonder if they might be getting too big for Piece Hall now. Wet Leg did Castlefield this year and were subbing them at Tramlines. Wishful thinking! I'd happily see them do another outdoor headline in the north of England, wherever it might be (except R+L, which I'm def too old for now 😂)

      You've certainly got a bunch of American acts who absolutely adore the festival and are willing to bring peanuts for it. You can never discount The Killers on that basis.

      Law unto herself, Madge. But I think, for a certain generation, Hyde Park still has a touch of mystery and magic - that and Wembley Stadium.

      I personally think Glasto big slots mean more to British artists that American ones don't (except Rodrigo, Killers, Foo Fighters) - in recent years anyway. The chance to pay (for a lot more money) to more of her own fans for 3 nights at BST must be more appealing to Madonna.
