Faith No More

[monkey1989]

Other stage headliner ?

New album next year and booked for some festivals .

Headlined download fest in 2009 but only Nme stage at Leeds fest the same year I was at both they were great.

Don't think they'd headline if Pixies and Smashing Pumpkins didn't, but they'd be a terrific booking.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Yes please! Agree they'd probably suit subbing Other, maybe even 3rd down. If there's going to be another rock act high up the Other bill, a la QOTSA/Pumpkins/Pixies, I'd say them and Soundgarden are probably frontrunners and although I like Soundgarden, FNM would be a lot more interesting.

[Gnomicide]

Bring back Chuck!

And Big Sick Ugly Jim Martin for that matter.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Yes please.

Subbing the Other Stage sounds about right.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Saw them at BST this year and was really disappointed - but I think that was mostly down to it being BST and not being able to hear them!

[willutalk]

I'd prefer NIN or Tool or QOTSA out of the heavier acts. Tbh

Sound garden would be a belter of a band to play as well.

Angel dust is a bloody classic album, can't see it though

[neil999]

aaah yes the fabled subbing other stage metal/rock slot

[Matt42]

Something tells me that the reason they are around in June is because they are at download. Nothing Glasto related...

[dentalplan]

I think the reason they're around is because they're doing festivals. They could get away with doing both seeing as they're not headliners. Doubt they will end up at Glastonbury though.

I wasn't ruling out they COULD do glastonbury, but I was suggesting they are probably gonna end up at Download, and we'd be lucky to get them at glasto if i'm honest.

[FloorFiller]

would absolutely love this, so so much, but don't think they have quite the crossover appeal that Pixies / Pumpkins do

cant see it being soundgarden cos matt has said pearl jam is his priority if they tour next year ...saying that if PJ are not touring then who knows

[GlastoEls]

Yes!

[Gnomicide]

You're always hungry man, get away from that fridge. NOW!

[guypjfreak]

just going through PJ forum and looks like PJ are gonna take abit of a break so hey ho there you go no PJ AGAIN for me but maybe youll get your wish lol

[FloorFiller]

Soundgarden have been touring with different drummers anyway so it doesn't make a difference, although i really doubt they'd play. i'd say Faith No More are more likely, and even they are unlikely

Glasto could capitalise so well if they commonly book a couple of these quite big, heavier bands every year. Although they do it a bit already, they should IMO do it a little more often. There really is quite a few who they could book.

They do seem to have a strong cross-over appeal and are well known names at the festival:

Nine Inch Nails

Tool

Soundgarden

SOAD?

Faith No More

Deftones

Alice in Chains

Bar NIN I don't know if any of those have as strong crossover appeal. I'd consider NIN a hell of a lot more likely than any of the others considering Trent doesn't seem to wanna play rock festivals anymore and wants a more mainstream audience, I think.

Tool won't play the festival again because of their control freak attitude towards live shows. SOAD won't as they won't get enough of a payday. The rest may sort of fit in but they will have two festivals climbing all over them whenever they tour.

You missed off Jane's Addiction and Motorhead, who I think would both have a decent crossover appeal.

wot about PEARL JAM ???? isnt it old son LOL

[dentalplan]

I wouldn't even class Pearl Jam with those lot anymore, Guy. If The Who and Muse aren't too heavy then neither are Pearl Jam.

[willutalk]

I'd consider them as a major headliner, not a smaller but quite big band.

Bob mould?

[Spud001]

Deftones could pull off a set at Glasto, played before and could see them going down well nowadays if they tailor the set to the occasion. Always though Mastodon would be a treat too in the JP Tent

Anyway, yes to Faith No More, really dying to see them!
