TS - diversion from Manchester (Wednesday) en route to Hyde Park (Saturday) .....I have her pencilled in as a surprise guest with the Foos anyway .....

 

Brixton Academy are betting on that

 

So... Speculation on who will fill the @foofighters slot at @GlastoFest? We've got money on Swifty. pic.twitter.com/LTGODZSdqX

People saying Flo won't want to be bumped up to headline.

Of course she will!

 

Then why wouldn't they just say "Hey, it's Florence"? Doesn't make sense to me. They're at least looking out for someone new, that seems pretty clear.

If it is Swifty I would have to watch at least some of her set out of morbid curiosty. I'll be very surprised if it isn't Flo though. It just seems to fit. Hope it's someone unexpected though.

maybe they haven't asked her. I'm pointing out that if you were asked to headline Glasto, even given the circumstances you'd take it. Might not get the chance again.

So i don't understand why people think she wouldn't wanna do it because Foos have dropped out.

Maybe they haven't been able to ask her yet. Unlikely but possible. I am hoping for someone new though.

No, it's not clear at all.

They've issued an obviously quickly drafted holding statement. That in itself doesn't suggest anything whatsoever - I'm sure once the dust settles we'll hear more.

Exactly, even if Flo has agreed they still have to work out what to do with the rest of the lineup with bump ups, replacements and switches all potentially on the card. Even if they knew yesterday it's going to take a while to turn round. I'm guessing if it is Flo they will want to announce with a full revised lineup.

There's a whole 142-page thread artfully dismissing this misinformed pattern of thought, it's worth a read :)[/quote

Yeah I've read a lot of posts on this thread.. Not religiously though. I just don't see anything other than standard chart shite with her really

Would be good to keep secret until they're due to come on. Big surprise for everybody.

 

Would be crappy for the band, playing their first few songs to a crowd of which half is leaving. And a health a safety nightmare of that many people trying to leave the Pyramid at once, while others try to get in.

The way I see it, she used to have something a little different but went for the big bucks inducing pop pap and stuck with it.

You see it wrongly, sir.

Plus some of us have schedules to keep. Had my Friday night all sorted before all this kicked off, a mystery headliner would be a planning nightmare.

I think the H&S / crowd movements must be a real issue....how many other people (as well as me) have thought " well I'll go and watch Rudimental then, as they were looking good on the Pyramid last year when their set was pulled ......"

    • I was assuming September in Stirling might have a different issue tbf in the form of it just pissing it down.
    • Yeah so many of mine seem to be just France v Spain in one semi and England/Brazil v Argentina in the other. But the fact those combos are the obvious ones mean it feels unlikely that'll happen because in World Cup history, you very rarely end up with what pre-tournament looks like the obvious final 4. We all see teams outperform and underperform. Which one is the fall guy is a different matter.   I've said elsewhere that for me, there's a hierarchy of Spain, France and Argentina as the 3 strongest looking, then England and Portugal, then Brazil and Germany, but that overall, they'd be the 7 likeliest to win. So I dunno, maybe this will be the time the Netherlands avenge the failure of total football in 1974 and achieve what they couldn't achieve through whatever the f**k Nigel de Jong was with his 2010 final karate moves.
    • Oh I think Infantino should resign. His handling of the whole WC process has been an utter shitshow. But you know. That would require him having integrity or something.
    • Good Charlotte would be fine third down or subbing. If they can get a bigger sub and still get GC, they’ll play third down.
