Why the denial?

[BananaR]

Everything points to Bowie

[autoinflate]

i'm really trying to picture them owning it, but I just can't see there being enough people who are really into it for it to come off as 'ownership'

[stevebristol]

I'm over the moon Metallica are headlining, never thought ld ever see the day that Metallica close the pyramid. I've seen them headline at the big day out, download and sonisphere and ever time they nail it!

Always a great show, interact well with the crowed, have the songs and fireworks! If you're in any doubt give them a chance (you won't be disapointed). If you don't wanna see them then enjoy another part of the festival

[Gnomicide]

Rather shit in my hands and clap than watch Metallica...

[acidstorm523]

Hah! Now speaking of denial, anyone mentioning Bowie in the same breath as live performances & festival line-ups really is living in la-la land

[BananaR]

My irony was lost on you

Having see them numerous times and I'm assuming you have not, they do create a vibe that makes it feel like an occasion. Surely worth a look just out of curiosity or like me if you think they'll stink Kasabian style, give them a swerve.

Guess they will try and do a more crowd friendly set if there is such a thing at a Metallica gig, these guys are pro's and will be working the crowd adapting where necessary. Sure they'll play friggin Whiskey in a Bottle for at least one song most of the crowd will recognise.

On the Pyramid? Great act

[jeffie]

haha now no one would want to see that!

[majormajormajor]

i haven't been following the information regarding this -- what has been said to confirm/strongly suggest that they are the missing headliner?

can someone fill me in please?

Oh I know they're very good at what they do, I'm just not sure it will be that popular with the regular glastonbury crowd.

I quite like a couple of their songs but won't be seeing them I'm sure, none of my mates will have it.

[Titters2]

I have nowt against Metallica, but they're not my cup of tea, and (like others) there's a few acts I would love to see in a headline set. Therefore, I'm going to continue clutching at straws...

Here goes...

Pharrell & Nile Rogers are both in the UK at the start of July... And Daft Punk will struggle to play live without their support (ala Gorillaz + associated acts 2010). Also the high £fees to be paid to all these acts means slightly cheaper acts on the Friday and Sunday (similar to Mumford and AM providing cash for the Stones last year).

So, based on these wild assumptions... Daft Punk.

(It is Metallica, though)

1) There are whole festivals for Metallica and the like because Metal is so niche.

2) Those that really want to see Metallica buy a ticket for the Sonisphere 'exclusive'

3) Metallica sold out after the black album and now even Metallica fans are tired of them

4) They are at so many festivals it doesn't seem a special saturday headliner

5) People want another act

It'll be Metallica

You missed the part where dance music is really good, perfect for a big party, and loads of people who go to Glasto love it.

Metal not so much.

The Pyramid is crap anyway!

God damn you, ticket holders, it is wasted on you.

This is reverse psychology,Daft Punk innit

[plaskins]

We will know in less than three weeks now probably. Does it really matter? Just another band on a stage

[benj847]
