An appearance in the future?

[Dunney77]

Im gutted they have cancelled, I got really into them in the buildup

Would people say this was their only year they could have played, seeming as they are always rumoured but never play up until 2010

Anyone expect them to be asked to headline again?

[fullfathom5]

Could do it next year I guess.

[russycarps]

nope. I reckon this was the one chance and it's now gone.

[Langdale Wolf]

Too late for me if they do, unless they wouldn't mind giving me x hundred grand, or waiting 5-10 years until I can afford to come to another Glasto?

[Toilet Duck]

Well, they'll still be touring next year (and the postponed North American dates are being rescheduled for next year), so it's always possible.

[fowls]

Now they've said yes once, they're bound to say yes again. Okay, they won't have a ego boost of it being a big anniversary, and it may not be next year but they'll be back at some point. Might as well have Kylie and U2 back in 2013.

[RacheyAndo]

I reckon they'll play next year, headline Saturday or Sunday evening then we'll see Coldplay on the Friday night as they've already been 'pencilled in' according to NME.

[strummer77]

Next year I think. Just makes sense.

I thought about this as soon as ti was announced they wouldn't play this year.

I thought abck to the Kylie situation and the fact that she's not played since. A friend pointe dout that was different circumstances i.e. ongoing cancer treatment.

I'd love to think that they'll be lined up to play next year instead. Unfortunately it isn't as simple as that. It's clearly going to depend on when/how they organise these cancelled dates.

I think it's likely we'll get to see U2 headline the Pyramid, but you have to allow for the possibility that it now may never happen.

[russycarps]

If U2 did tell ME they will definitely play next year I hope it isnt announced before tickets go on sale in October as that would make getting hold of one of the precious things a lot harder.

[StoneCircle]

If they were in any way rumoured to play in 2011 we would get 1000's of U2 buying tickets for that reason only. This would be bad for the festival. Leave them out of the equation for a few years IMHO.

Next year. 3 nights running, using the claw stage.

And donating the stage to the festival as an apology !
