Metallica 2014

[GlastoSimon]

whoever subs Metallica, i imagine there will be a massive crowd switch between them finishing and Metallica starting. just can't think of any Glastonbury-esque band big enough to sub / suitable to sub Metallica

Pet Shop Boys looking likely. Which is hilarious, but awesome at the same time Huge crowd switch I imagine.

Pleased the fest is looking to introduce another genre, although I don't think Metallica will be my personal first choice.

Metallica will piss the chair dwellers off,now were's that denim with all the patches on from when i was fifteen.

I love how you posted this at 7 minutes past 5.

Such a good booking

I wonder who will sub them

[dan05delaney]

Pet Shop Boys into Metallica would work well, you want lots of crowed movement (from a safety POV) less people stood about, it'll be awesome no matter what

[CHRLY]

Prince to sub?

[kingcrawler]

Maybe foals? I have no idea

I'm sure they're already playing a couple of festivals on Glastonbury weekend, but I think they'd be a decent sub to Metallca. They played that festival Metallica curated last year.

i suppose if Metallica are getting drafted in as a 'last ditch' sort of headliner, whoever was previously subbing Prince will still be in place, so Pet Shop Boys it may well be which is jokes

if Glasto were gonna have a 'metal' band headliner, it was always going to be Metallica. they're THE metal band, and are really eager to do it. reckon it'll be one hell of a show. just hope whoever's up against them on Other is awful

In fairness to them, there have been many articles about them desperately wanting to do it, so I can't see them pissing the opportunity up the wall.

Yep, and the news article on the website doesn't even mention Metallica, so no clues there.

Could possibly clash with Disclosure if they headline the Other?

[Gnomicide]

I see Bronx are playing Soni.

Mariachi El Bronx for Glastonbury?

[FloorFiller]

considering it's looking like Skrillex is headlining one day with the Other (could well be the Saturday) i doubt they'll also have Disclosure headlining. reckon Disclosure will be a Other sub

I have this poster on my wall! Got it from the Death Magnetic tour.

[airwaves]

Just because you fancy seeing Metallica doesn't mean you'd avoid Pet Shop Boys

And Vice Versa

If there is one one about Glasto goers it is that they have wide musical tastes - and know they can find allsorts at Glasto

If it was Metallica (whom I've wanted to see for years) subbed by PSB I'm going to be in that inner Pyramid stage area from late afternoon on!!!!!!!!!!

Bring it on.

Oh yeah I forgot about Skrillex, my bad.

Not the only one... I will definately be making my way to the inner pyramid area!

I'll be trying my damned best to get into the inner circle if this Metallica thing comes true, haven't saw them for years.

Completely. If Metallica are the only metal act on the line up, it's unlikely that the preceding acts will be met with confused silence by a field of metalheads. Could end up being PSB, could be someone like Pharrell or Nutini or Example.

I'm sitting here imaging that Happy tune by Pharell right now then imaging the fields faces as Metallica take to the stage to Master of Puppets. Interesting stuff indeed.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

PSB into metallica would be batcrap enough to be brilliant.

[FloorFiller]

interesting that Pet Shop Boys are quite low (well, below the likes of Foals) on the Electric Picnic lineup, so arguably might not be a big enough act to sub at Glastonbury (also interesting is that Neil has now mentioned in the Glam thread that they could well be the 'Glam' West Holts headliner for the night)

As the metalheads desend into the crowd late having tried to avoid Pharell starting a Moshpit.

Barring a clash with Franz Ferdinand or someone I love I'll be there (Likely not for PSB )
