I found out the news from the Facebook page, forgot rule #1 of the internet; never read the comments!

"Only band worth watching at the whole thing :(" When the Foo Fighters are invited back this imbecile is going to be trying to get tickets again next for year, when another round of devoted efesters will inevitably experience the gut-wrenching disappointment. Drop in the ocean, I know, most Glastonbury goers are wonderful people, but it just aggravates me.

It won't be Florence. They are going to need someone pretty special

There's a lot of disappointed people out there. I work with a girl that's going for the first time and she's heartbroken about Dave Grohl.She has no idea just how good it is . At least we won't have long to wait for an announcement. My thoughts are well known. If you agree with me sign my petition. Let's bring 1989 to Worthy Farm.

Like them or not you've really got to feel for the Foos, particularly Dave. Imagine you're about to play Wembley Stadium then headline Glastonbury and you break your leg. Must be devastating feeling you've let so many people down. Hope they come back next year (subbing for Biffy & Foals.)

 

Also sucks for Royal Blood who were going to support them at Wembley, must've been so excited for that one.

Will they reprint the programme and everything and Guardian Guides? I can't remember what happened when U2 pulled out.

No they won't. Stevie Winwood was headlining Sunday in 1997 but cancelled, but even the poster wasn't changed to reflect that Ash actually headlined. Ash also subbed the Other on the Friday.

 

Which is a bit of a kick in the nuts for anyone who imagines it has to be a big band that replaces the Foos.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
