So who is going to replace Foo Fighters?

[Dukeicon]

Fuck.... Cancelled...

 

Due to injuries sustained in Dave Grohl’s fall from the stage during Foo Fighters’ June 12 show at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden, doctors have required the cancellation of the remainder of the band’s dates in the UK and Europe.

After undergoing surgery Monday, Dave’s full recuperation time is still to be determined.

It was previously announced that Foo Fighters’ June 14 appearance at the Pinkpop Festival and June 16 show at the AFG Arena in St. Gallen, Switzerland were cancelled. The following dates have now been cancelled as well:

• June 19 & 20 - London, UK - Wembley Stadium
• June 23 - Edinburgh, UK - BT Murrayfield Stadium
• June 25 - Werchter, Belgium - Festivalpark Werchter
• June 26 - Glastonbury Festival 2015

Now it's official I'll look in here.

Could Blur do it? Are they free?

[Mezhyp1]

FOALS

[SwedgeAntilles]

Possible for the Charlatans to be added officially to the pyramid and everyone else bumped up a slot?

[ModFFM]

Stone Roses please

For non-Foo Fighters fans, this is great. Commiserations to fans.

You're reading too much into what will have been a quickly drafted statement.

Given the confirmation only came today, I doubt any decision is set in stone yet.

[GlastoSimon]

There is a replacement headliner!

 

Hmmm, jumping to conclusions a bit I think there Matt! Technically Florence would be a 'new headliner'

 

Apart from Blur I can't see anybody else doing it.

This thread just got interesting now!

[math125]

Come on AC/DC

[Friendly Banter]

If it's a new headliner I'm going to suspect Coldplay then Blur. Both could put together a last min show and are "in the area"

[guypjfreak]

[zero000]

This just screams Coldplay. Neil might be right after all!

[morph100]

Daft punk booked for next year but swapping with Foos (I wish)

[JoeyT]

Can't see it being Florence. They could have easily spoke to her and just said it was her in that article.

I definitely think it'll be someone new.

[srb]

And just when we thought the Headliners 2015 thread was done and dusted, it comes back with a bang. 

[Jackmypie]

I will cry if Florence headlines. Really.

[The Placid Casual]

Prince.

[Dixo]

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

[Stokesy10]

How close was it when U2 pulled out anyone know a rough date?
