Yeah, just spotted they'd be here in early July. Sounds like a good shout to me!

[russycarps]

Coldplay

Foo Fighters

Is anyone else depressed after reading that?

Take That, Coldplay and Foo Fighters would be more depressing

[Filthy]

Christ, dont even joke about it!

Prince really gave the headliners some charisma and pzazz (how the hell do you spell that?!). Take him out of the equation and all over a sudden it's staler than a jar of farts

[In transit]

I agree. Even Radiohead would have given something different.

Are the Foos headline material? maybe headline the other or 3rd on the pyramid. don't forget the headliners need an hour and a half of material and need to keep the punters interested.

[Macca3031]

I'm pretty sure the Foo Fighters have an hour and a half material, they headline at every festival they play. Or was that a joke about them not having enough *good* songs for an hour and a half?

Their Greatest Hits album is pretty damn good however you might argue this band being "not nirvana". I would be reasonably happy if they headlined however i'm hoping they don't end up on the revolving turntable of headliners (Muse, Green Day, Killers, KOL) aka making me pretty bored.

They've not played any festivals since 07 when they played V and T I think. When was the last time they played Glasto? Granted Dave played with Them Crooked Vultures at a number of festivals, however 4 years since FF played any kind of festival, and who knows how long since Glasto means they could definitely be strong contenders.

You're right it's been a few years but before that it was just a merry-go-round. They've been replaced by Kings of Leon.

They're perfectly competent headliners, they're just quite boring along with basically every other name that's been mentioned apart from Prince and Elbow.

Nothing on the past two years so far.

[eFestivals]

When was the last time they played Glasto?

As Foo Fighters, 1998. Dave also played with QOTSA in 2002.

They've not played any festivals since 07

they did do a Uk stadium tour in 2008 tho.

[MEGABOWL]

Stadium rock-tastic-U2, Coldplay, Bon Jovi, Foo Fighters, Prince all being mentioned

They can all share the same firework set up, oiled bit for knee and slides walkway into the middle of the crowd

It's gonna be Live Aid 3 : Even Liver!

Spot on. All the bands who realistically would be offered a headline slot are boring as hell at the moment.

I'll give you Elbow and Prince though. And how about Arcade Fire on the saturday?

Fri: Elbow

Sat: Arcade Fire

Sun: Prince

That looks rather pleasant to me.

[Tango]

the Foos are one of the best live acts in the world ATM. Of course they can headline Glasto.

Oh they are undoubtedly strong contenders. I am pretty much resigned to the fact they will be headlining one of the nights.

The fact remains true though: they are utter bland shite and dave grohl is an appalling drummer.

They make kings of leon look like led zep.

As much as I would really love this line-up....are Elbow really that big?! I've certainly never considered them to be headline material... (although they are excellent!)
