Grumble on my behalf there. 3/1 would be ideal for a quick £100, but if we're leaning towards Coldplay, i shan't bother!

absolutely no evidence behind that by the way! it's just what i'd assumed, and could well be wrong - Coldplay have headlined the Saturday the last two times so they might want to mix it up (or, stick to a pattern - who knows)

I wonder if they stipulate they have to do Saturday or something or if it's just by chance with touring schedules. I'm hoping they insist on Saturdays as it'll pay the balance off my ticket if they do.

Jazz fans? Opera fans? If you grow up listening to the Ring Cycle you're probably less likely to get your jollies from fairly mainstream pop / rock.

Fair cop. Was referring to pop music. I know next to nothing about opera.

I know it's mere coincidence, but I always feel the 'BIG' headliner always plays the Saturday, U2 aside, who had to play Friday due to touring clashes. Well, since 2009 anyway...

2009: Blur, Springsteen, Neil Young

2010: Gorillaz, Muse, Stevie Wonder

2011: U2, Coldplay, Beyonce

2013: Arctics, Rolling Stones, Mumford

2014: Arcade Fire, Metallica, Kasabian

2015: Florence, Foos, Coldplay?

Surely, they can't be super repetitive and have Coldplay on the Saturday again? I think i'm just trying to make up excuses to put the bet on.

When I was younger I used to think the Beatles were shit. Mainly because had never heard a massive chunk of what they did. There are a lot of Beatles songs I still can't stand, but loads I love.

Put 30 singles out a year and you're bound to get a few right

Paddy Power have suspended betting on Coldplay for the Saturday, they're probably reading this thread.

nah, they suspended the Coldplay betting last night within 30 minutes of efests publishing the story about Coldplay, very obviously after a flood of bets.

Today they've sent out a publicity mailer, trying to push other bands - to try and get bets to cover-off the potential losses on Coldplay.

Could we have Same Shite Saturday for Coldplay? :D

You won't believe me but i was gonna post that but I'm not allowed on my phone during tea time so had to wait. Knew somebody would beat me to it!

Edit: mother doesn't like peoole on their phones when we are having a family meal. Yes i live at my parent's home at the age of 24.

Florence + The Machine, Foo Fighters and AC/DC are among the new favourites to headline Glastonbury in June.

that's pretty much a cut and paste of the paddy power press release sent out this morning - which is designed to get bets on other bands to cover off all the money which went on Coldplay last night.

    • Spring (or early) next year now.   Says to me that the album is/was delayed. I've done some digging but not had anything beyond that.
    • Same’s happened at MSG recently with Rush and Phish alternating nights. I guess each band has its own unique production so their riggers will be kept busy
    • The rumour was uk arena tour late this year.  Same as Charli xcx cant be announced until Reading headline is done.   
    • Latest from the sun at least is that harry is still headlining but Olivia has turned down a spot next year to work on new music and hope for 2028.   So they can't have Fender, Fontaines, Harry, Olivia and Madonna. 
    • I mean I don't think EC and FFDP are borderline sub, they wouldn't be any lower now.   2025 is about as strong as Bloodstock gets yet this year only one headline would sub and the others would play 3rd down or lower.    Machine Head wouldn't sub at Download regardless of rarity, they don't sell enough tickets and I'm not sure Gojira would sub either. Their last UK tour was a mix of smaller arenas and academy dates. Ally Pally being the only London date, not even Wembley Arena.
