Dave Grohl broken leg

[bennyhana22]

I imagine if they pull out it'll be Florence.

Or, other friends of the festival, Mumford and sons!

Though if Florence ends up headlining, I wouldn't be surprised to see a new more popular guitar based sub than Motörhead automatically ending up there.

Looking at the recent live videos people have posted on here, Motorhead woud be a stretch to nail that sub spot, wouldn't they? (irrelevant to me as I wasn't going to be at FATM or FF anyway, but just asking)

My concern about bumping Flo and Motörhead up is that it'll certainly make other areas of the festival (Hot Chip and SFA especially) much, much busier.

[bennyhana22]

Wasn't it 6000 a few weeks ago? Where's this other 6000 come from?

IIRC there were two gigs at the Zenith, both rescheduled into a single gig a few days later. So many fucked over and some at least significantly inconvenienced for reasons I don't consider morally defensible.

But let's not do all that again! (yes, I know it was me that brought it up!)

So assuming Dave can do it he's got the decision of disappointing fans (who paid extortionate stadium ticket prices!) with a lacklustre show or disappointing fans by cancelling/postponing the shows. Don't envy him for that choice, though personally I'd prefer the latter.

I'd have thought plenty of fans would want him to go ahead with the shows if he could - after all, the fact of him playing with a broken leg would make those shows different and 'special'.

Personally, I suspect he'll want to do the shows, just because having to set them all up again for sometime in the future would mean not being free to accept other shows in the future. They're a band who (like to?0 spend almost every summer on the road, and they've only just taken time out.

This x100 if Motörhead sub, people like caribou and Jamie XX will be heaving

[brettredmayne]

I imagine Glastonbury are a little worried today. Everything from tshirt to programs all made up and the major headliner may be pulling out

It'd be ridiculous - Florence would get the casual fans but there are a lot on the fence and some like me who wouldn't even entertain the idea of Florence. Plus Florence and rudimental will have a similar audience which I doubt crosses over too much with hot chip and sfa!! I'd love to see SFA to be fair.

I don't think Flo would want to be bumped up. I reckon she'd decline, on the basis that when she headlines she's headlining on her own merit and not as a fill-in.

So you think they'd get someone else then?

[fatyeti24]

either that or just have no headliner at all.

[hulk mike]

Can't believe no one has put this in yet, so I'll do the honours and get it out of the way

Oasis to reform and step in as secret replacement

There. It's said, now carry on

[brettredmayne]

Only blur and Taylor swift available that could stand in so short notice. No one else really on a touring cycle that is free.

[the wonderwhy]

Get QOTSA on it

I think its highly likely Pinkpop tomorrow will be cancelled. He's obviously going to be in hospital today and the 'I feel sorry for Pinkpop' think is pretty telling. I'd have thought he'd want to carry on with the rest of the tour after that though.

She may have been happy to sub to a huge band like Foo Fighters who are still bigger than her but if drop out she'd probably rather headline than play before a weaker replacement.

Is Homme free? Get him on board as a second frontman for the Foos shows

[CaledonianGonzo]

Foo Fighters and QOTSA are so much of a muchness that it's a switcheroo so subtle that few folks would notice.

[kalifire]

I'd have thought he'd want to carry on with the rest of the tour after that though.

What he wants to do and what he's able to do may be two very different things.

[Franky]

Does he need to get medical clearance for insurance purposes or something? Especially in the UK, which is H&S mad. Not that I know anything about this sort of thing, so I'm probably being stupid.....

I think this is a very good point !

QOTSA dump on the Foos from a great, great height.

Don't get QOTSA involved in anyway at all!

[Porcelina]

Muse? Will be free from Download contracts at that stage and are obviously pushing the new album heavily.

He's been drumming for EODM a bit recently I think, but yeah other than that he's free. Shuman is obviously gonna be down on the farm with Mini Mansions, too...

Not gonna happen though

Foo Fighters have nowt on QOTSA

What he wants to do and what he's able to do may be two very different things.

Well yeah, I thought that was a given

I really like the Foo's but

I have to agree.
