I know. I'm just relieved I just got to see him on the Reality Tour a few weeks before he had his heart problems. I'd be really annoyed if I'd missed that chance.

thank the spaghetti monster im in a really good mood today or id have taken that personally

[stf]

Other, Chemical Brothers - or Petshop Boys

[Johnthebar]

........

Chems - its just a question of sending/setting up the immense amount of kit. 4 nights at the Roundhouse last wkend proves they are ready to go with a set.

[Tugger2k]

It wasn't meant personally. Oh no.

[Moon Monkey]

Just move Tinchy Stryder down one

[milly16]

PULP....

[LostRiot]

I don't know, (I'd guess Coldplay) but whoever it is the lack of U2 is the best headline news I've heard yet!

[Boosh]

yeah just think of all those U2 fans, and there are a lot of them, wandering round the site cluttering up everyone else's headline slots being miserable and grumpy. fantastic news.

[geztival_09]

My money's on Coldplay tbh. They seem a likely choice and I can't see ME pulling a big name headliner out the bag at this short notice (and by big headliner I mean like Rolling Stones, Led Zepp etc)

I'm not a massive U2 fan, but it is a shame they aren't playing now

[saminblack]

No-one seems to have mentioned Arcade Fire. They are making a new album, have already pencilled in Reading and would, I think, satisfy a lot of people.

Possible?

[ponydog]

Other: The Strokes, they are doing some other festivals.

[Block of Mud]

Muse to headline two nights?

First being songs from the first 3 albums

Second being the other tosh they do

I am calmer now, and have a shortlist of 3 acts who could *possibly* fill in.

I love them all, but have seen all 3 before (more than once) and all of them at least once at Glasto.

All would cause hundreds of threads of ignorant/disappointed complaints but here we go:

Elbow

Doves

Coldplay.

Either would do a good job. Out of the 3, I'd choose Elbow simply because they'd raise a few albums and make the step up effortlessly. Many people will disagree with that but they'd be wrong.

So there we go. Elbow, Doves or Coldplay. Not as big a draw as U2, but acts I'd DEFINITELY class as must-sees who could pull of a headlining slot.

[niceandfriendly]

i will wet my pants if it's coldplay, as will one other member of our group. the third member will be pissed off, but i don't care.

please mr eavis

This is what the bookies say

5/4 Dizzee Rascal

11/8 Coldplay

6/1 Groove Armada

6/1 Faithless

8/1 Florence & The Machine

16/1 Scissor Sisters

40/1 Lily Allen

18/1 Paul McCartney

33/1 Kings of Leon

33/1 Rihanna

33/1 Led Zeppelin

40/1 Kylie

40/1 David Bowie

50/1 Noel Gallagher

66/1 Jay-Z

McCartney don't look a bad shout at 18/1 but realistically it will be one of the top two I'd expect
