ZZ Top

[Wooderson]

Playing Cork on the 27th June.

Hope this dude packs the fluffy guitars and his wellies for Worthy Farm.

Of the bands I ain't seen yet, these boys are "Top" of the list.

See what I did there?

HOW HOW HOW HOW

[guypjfreak]

how many beards are in zz top .................................

[TheSeventhOne]

God, imagine how great they would be. Middle of the afternoon, a chilled pint of cider in hand, the likes of Sharp Dressed Man and Tush soundtracking the proceedings. Yes please!

well you have the two blokes with beards, the guy called Beard, but i don't know how many in-the-closet gay blokes with pretend wives there are.

so, um, 4?

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Big yup to this option

[Wooderson]

I think ZZ Top would make fantastic West Holts headliners.

Just what I was thinking.

Can you get a dirtier rock sound than 'I gotsta get paid?'

The first of my dozen suggestions from two years ago to look like it may come to pass.

Two beards, one Beard?

I hope you're right!

Only downer I'll throw in is that they're way more likely to play rock festivals.

Thats a newie right? Seem to recall it being pretty 'king good yeah.

My vote would go not even just to the riff, but the sung/spoken intro to "La Grange" by Gibbons.

"...they gotta lotta nice girlsssah!

Have mercy!"

Did a band ever look at each other in the studio and think 'We're MINTED!' faster than the day "Gimme All Your Lovin'" was recorded?

Wilco/Chic/ZZ Top makes this potentially the best Glasters line up ever for me.

Zero chance of Wilco unfortunately chief. They're stateside in late June doing the Solid Sound festie. Same weekend every year which makes a Glasto return unlikely.

Ever.

Ah yeah! Forgot that mate of course.

[Red Day]

This is probably best suggestion I've seen all year. Truely fantastic if this came off

[Wooderson]

Loving the positive vibes for the 'Top.

How MEGA would it be to hear them knockin' out "Jesus Just Left Chicago" or "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide"?

We're talking a Glasto moment for sure.

[dan05delaney]

Hell yes... ZZ Top would be great for a mid afternoon slot! actually excited at the thought of it...

[BlackHole2006]

Fucking GREAT tune. http://youtu.be/LyeNRWLnfbg

[Gnomicide]

I've only seen them once (when they headlined Donington) and was a little underwhelmed but they should never have been in that position.

I'd love them for an afternoon slot or headlining West Holts.

not true...tis the weekend before (perhaps scheduled purposefully)...i hope to be doing both

[The Nal]

it's the weekend before Glastonbury next time.... there's hope!

Nah. No way they're curating their own music festival and then flying over the Atlantic a few days later for a 60 minute show. They hang around after and do all the media follow up stuff too.

ZZ Top will ease the pain though!! But I don't think they'll play. They'll do Download or something if they do any festivals.

And it looks like Friday is the only option now as they're playing Germany on Sunday 30th June and the Monday and Tuesday too.

30.06.2013 Hamburg, Stadtpark

01.07.2013 Berlin, Zitadelle Spandau

02.07.2013 München, Tollwood Festival

I think I can hear the ball being dropped at Glasto HQ from here.....

Edit - Just read that back. What a depressing post. But accurate I believe. I'm off to eat some pizza and watch Looney Tunes to cheer myself up.

As much as I'd love that to be true I really doubt they'd move the date of their own festival, which has expanded for 2013, for an hour slot at 3pm somewhere at Glasto.

I saw them at mor festival and I too felt they didn't interact well with crowd. Better on cd. Highlight was when they flew their eliminator Car over crowd. Pity they wernt in it.

Up for a bit of classic rock though. Gimme Blackfoot or the Classic quo line up any day

[guypjfreak]

Two beards, one Beard?

yeeeeep

yae and they would be a good secret guest thinginymebob imo

[Wooderson]

Playing Stuttgart on the 21st June and Saarbrucken on 2nd July.

Could it happen?

How how how how.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Here we go again....

[tevaburger]

it would be a shame if we got snuffed 2 years in a row. surely it's happening this time! in the Snoop Dogg/BB King Friday legends pyramid slot!
