arcade fire before u2 on the friday

[Porcelina]

Best band in the world is matter of opinion

And maybe Mr Eavis was a bit miffed they had already headlined Leeds and Reading

Who knows ?

New poster, haven't read the whole thread so I dont know if the band themselves have made any announcements to the contrary, but I think they're still a decent bet for the Sunday Other Stage slot, or subbing Coldplay or even Beyonce.

I dont like Pulp at all, a choice between them and Beyonce to finish off would be disappointing (I would like to finish off with a familiar band), but a weekend of U2 on the Friday, Chemical Brothers Saturday and Arcade Fire Sunday would be absolutely amazing and would easily make the best Glasto I've ever been to (went 2009 and 2010).

ARCADE FIRE ARE NOT PLAYING! GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON, PLEASE!

Doesn't look like they're doing any UK festivals then, guess that was the main reason for the three summer gigs.

I'm clearly overexciting myself now but... they could so be doing Green Man!

My logic = no gigs in Wales in the summer but they're in the UK at the time (MEN and Edinburgh about a week later), Explosions In The Sky are headlining GM and supporting Arcade Fire on tour this year, they fit in quite well with the kind of music at the festival, they may now be too big but the booking could have been made around a year ago when they were a fairly sucessful indie band and not THE BAND OF THIS GENERATION (does no one remember the confusion at them headlining R+L over the Libertines? - not on here obviously).
