Luckily, booking an irrelevant act like Madonna will be balanced out by extreme, white hot relevance of Foo and the Fighters, a band so cutting edge that even looking at them will make your eyes bleed.

People so snobby on here,nothing wrong with foo fighters. They play there own music and write there own songs. but beacuse they happen to be popular people sem to be able to slag em off. and for the record im not a big foo fighters fan. Dave Grohl is a great musician .

I hate the thought of Madonna headlining. I'm not gonna make a big song and dance about it, and hopefully just go and see someone else on another stage (Or like last year just go to the naughty corner). I just feel she's so irrelevant, without her appearing at the Brits, her name wouldn't be banded about at all.

I've always struggled with this thing about music and "relevancy". Who defines how relevant an act are? And how many relevant acts have headlined recent years? Mumford, Kasabian?, arctic monkeys (though that kicked off their "relevance" again) Kanye certainly is....there's generally like one a year.

Yeah I mean it's not like she's ever been rumoured before is it...

Or that she's the best selling living artist...

It's probably for the best that Glastonbury limits it's headliners to 'current' & 'relevant' artists like the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Stevie Wonder etc etc.

People are different right? I'm not into Foo Fighters or Madonna but that's just life.

I was reading something about Mozza a few years ago and he said something along these lines:

"Madonna is musical prostitution"

I tend to agree with him.

Frankly Mr Shankly AKA The Madonna Defence Force

Haha, not at all. People are entitled to enjoy whatever music they like. I understand why a lot of people would be put off by an artist like Madonna.

But, that doesn't change the facts & nor should it when the same people crying out about how irrelevant she is were lapping up the likes of the Stones & Springsteen.

Never sure why there's so much hate on newbie posts. These forum sites predominantly are for people to speculate and debate on people's wishes and the likelihood of bands appearing at festivals. Foals are at the level now where they could smash a set on the pyramid at least at sub-level, especially with a new album out soon. People are ignorant and blind if they genuinely think that Prince or Madonna are nailed-on headliners or that the line-up is out today. In reality none of us really have a clue and that's why it's so exciting.

On the flip side, the anti Madge snobbery is the same.

I'm going back to bed.

No hang on theres still the "what is pop music?" and "mosh pit" conversations to have yet.
