U2 might not be at Glasto!

[4AssedMonkey]

I hope so. U2 do nothing for me at all.

[thelizardking]

also they wrote that song about glastonbury, remember? not that it bares any legal ties, but it shows they really do want to play

[MEGABOWL]

Saw it in the newsagent this afternoon.

However, it being an edition of Q with elbow on the front, I stayed the f**k away.

[MEGABOWL]

Obligatory 'Radiohead still headlining possibility' mention was early this thread.

[CaledonianGonzo]

You didn't buy a magazine because of one feature? How quaint

Radiohead or Vaccines to headliner plz.

[Atterz123]

RADIOHEAD TO RETURN.

OR DAFT PUNK

[Toilet Duck]

Me neither, but they will keep the late night areas free for a while on the Friday....

[The Nal]

RADIOHEAD TO RETURN.

[Filthy]

f**ks sake. Can we PLEASE stop it with the Radiohead nonsense? They come up in EVERY thread, theres multiple threads on them, including one on their new album (ie nothing to do with Glasto). I wouldn’t mind but they haven’t released a good album in 15 years and their new album is totally boring shit.

That is all.

Could say the same about U2

You felt that was worth posting? Quainter.

Actually, it was the dreaded Guy Garvey/Q magazine conjunction that put the frighteners on me. It wasn't 'looking like a beautiful day' at that point in Tesco Metro.

[Wooderson]

Not bad.

Fair point about Q. I bought a copy a couple of months ago for something to read on a dull day at work. Had their Top 250 albums in it. I was livid by the end of reading it. Not a good way to spend £4

[The Nal]

That the list with 2 Oasis records in the top 5? Muck.

[anoldhippie@60]

I hope that they are playing. They are one band that I have always wanted to see and was very disappointed they were not on last year. I know a lot of people slag off Bono for going on about the planet and him being a hypocrite but we do not know what he is doing with his millions. He could be using to do what he can to help. I wonder what the loud mouths who keep slagging him off do???

It’s a tired old point at this stage. If people can be bothered to research the stats, they’ll see that the work hes has done for charity is unbelievable, and at the detriment of U2s career. Really incredible stuff. Life saving on a massive scale.

[1mills]

Really? Of all time?

Q magazine. Deary me.

[the_hedge]

U2 are headlining though so relevant!

You're right though about the albums.

[The Nal]

agreed....Say what you want about the music but the "Bono's a twat for trying to do good flying around in planes - how dare he" argument is f**king pathetic. The tax argument is so so dull - reminds me of old, fat twats sitting in the corner of shit pub moaning about do-gooders while they do nothing but drink stale ale. No one knows the facts. But in my opinion if he wants to chose how he spends his charity and not give it to a government he outwardly disagrees with (who spend vast amounts on military) and gives it to local needs in Ireland how he chooses then why the f**k not? When U2 are touring he spends about 10 days in Ireland anyway so he's just doing the sensible and legal thing. He convinced Bush to give $5 billion to aid in Africa by flying around and being so so hypocritical.

What you do last year c**t?

[eoinca]

Well considering he lectures our(irish) politicians about our national contribution to third world aid, and about our artist tax exemption etc, I think it makes him a MASSIVE hypocrite for not paying his taxes in this country tbh. Regardless of his, albeit very admirable, charity work.

[In transit]

That's brilliant 1Mills. For some reason No.19 tickled me more than any of the others.
