Fairly similar act to Coldplay, no idea why they'd clashed the two.

Now I'm confused!  Will not bother to check them out on spotify.  I'll be in the acoustic tent...

I like to think that I'm fairly up to date, so when I've NEVER heard of a band it hurts a bit...

What are they?? (in a metaphysical sense)

They were a shitty deathcore/screamo band until they realised arena pop rock is more profitable. Lead singer enjoys neck tattoos, Coldplay and pissing on teenagers.

Radiohead Friday is still on. They were never down for Saturday.

This is my hope, but with Adele now seemingly nailed on its edging closer and closer to the months old Muse, Adele, Coldplay trio. Muse still seems like an oddity but their presence is all too looming

I admit I always thought Adele would bottle it but 100% better choice that drearyhead. It's the single biggest booking bar The Stones that the fest can make. 

Added to point, RH vs New Order I just can't see happening.

knock yourself out

 

 

I can't believe I just clicked on that. The singer seems kind of angry and he's shouting about going into battle.

In fact that is utterly terrible. No rhythm and no melody, just head banging crap.

Don't insult metal 

[Matt42]

I'm still very confused why muse were booked, it just doesn't make sense to me

eithway, Muse, Adele Coldplay isn't a terrible trio - would of preferred Radiohead instead of adele

[brettredmayne]

Pretty gutted about this, I didn't think secret sets were allowed on the scale of radiohead any more. 

Just unsure where they would play

They couldn't do Other opener slot, that'd be abysmal. Maybe secret Park headliner slot doing their new album in full.

[dreader1988]

Why not Radiohead Adele Coldplay? and if Muse are SR then Surely they are more likely to pull a secret Park slot or open Other. *more likely to than radiohead anyway

Those kid of slots were rid of because they caused crowd issues, Radiohead being one of the main offenders. I doubt it'll happen again

coldplay have played more recently than muse, so coldplay is the more senseless booking surely.

 

[mrtourette]

What about booking Muse doesn't make sense?

But Muse would be the first headliner in some time to break the 'first summer of touring an album' thing that Glastonbury seems to stick to, so them coming back on the second summer of touring a shite album is a bit odd

Its different during the day to having a headline spot. During the day at like 4pm of course everyone gonna want to see Radiohead but if they headline a stage on Saturday most people would be at Adele to wonder who the secret act is on Park or wherever. West Holts probably more realistic cause its got a larger space.

I think we have to accept that all patterns and "rules" are out the window these days!

They sold out three nights at the 02, so I'm guessing outside of the dad rock demographic that seems to inhabit the Headliner thread I'm guessing they are fairly popular.

Why?

[brettredmayne]

Im just very confused to the booking here, why wouldnt radiohead wait a year to headline then play a lower slot.

Im having my doubts on neils info about them playing

To be fair they didn't really tour the UK with it, the "Drones tour" over here is April this year, apart from Download and Radio 1 Big Weekend, and a few smaller pre-album shows last march (3 months before the album) they've been mainly doing europe and america, so you can kind of make the case that this is the year of the album tour here

I have to disagree stongly, it is a terrible trio. Truly gut wrenchingly abysmal.
