Snow Patrol

[george424]

I know loads of people hate them. If so, stop reading and don't waste your time.

However, is there a chance of them playing?

Surely the only two slots left for them would be headlining the other or subbing to Beyonce on the Sunday?

[Spindles]

I don't think that at this point in their career they could warrant a headline slot, but subbing beyonce would work. They have a fair few pop hits that they could trot out and the audience would probably be receptive. I used to like snow patrol, but they, at least for me, became progressively less interesting as their career went on.

It seems to be fashionable to knock them, I'd go see them.

[george424]

what about subbing to coldplay?

[chewbacca]

I feel they are a bit too similar. Especially when you compare it to Scissor Sisters into Muse last year! Having said that, Elbow and U2 could be seen as similarish.

I suppose it's possible, but I wonder if Neil has any information about the bands that he's not revealing?

I shall wait for the abuse to follow - BUT - I love Snow Patrol.

The love has faded over recent years, but would love to see them!

Good for you for not bowing to peer pressure - here's a Snow Patrol/Glasto combo I knocked up a couple of years ago for your viewing pleasure

[sparkythetortoise]

Great video, really captures the spirit of Glasto!

Love it

Cheers

Snow Patrol are one of those bands that you're not supposed to like anymore, but thats a great song. Why does that happen to some bands. I like the Hoosiers as well - How bad is that? After a lifetime of listening to Hawkwind I am now immune to it!

I know, whenever a band reaches success and gets very popular, it becomes cool to dislike them.

It's happened to Mumford & Sons and Coldplay aswell. It's as if people envy or dislike success.

Like a few on here over the years my love of this band has faded a bit, mainly due to mass radio over exposure etc but I think they have done the right thing and taken a much needed break and will come back fresh with good new material.

I would definatley go see them should they play, it does annoy me when people just disregard a band is it's seen as popular to dislike them

[Wooderson]

Snow Patrol are pish.

I Have seen Snow Patrol live several times at both arenas and festivals and they never fail to put on a good show, no mega clashes permitting I'd happily watch them again!

[Vieuphoria]

They aren't as big over here as they are in Ireland. They'd get given a higher slot than they warrant/deserve... so i'd rather not.

[king_oxymoron]

When I saw Snow Patrol I didn't realise how many of their songs I knew - was a cracking set, would love them to play! Can't see it though...

[george424]

Totally agree with this.

Another year passes by without Snow Patrol on the bill. It always seems odd to me that a band of their nature and size hasn't played Glasto since 2004 (when they went done very well on the Other Stage)

I'm sure there must be somthing to it (fall out with the festival etc.) beyond people enjoying slagging them off; if that were the case then none of the three Pyramid headliners would be on the bill!

Fingers crossed that they'll be back after the fallow year (if they're still going...)
