well shit. doubt they'll be at Glastonbury, but if they're actually back from the hiatus this early (and didn't just do this as a one off) i wonder if they'll be elsewhere next year e.g. Reading/Leeds (although with Kasabian seemingly confirmed i guess not 'cause 2012)

Any particular reason why you'd doubt Glastonbury? I always thought it would be their first UK festival once they returned. Foos, Radiohead and Stone Roses would be massive, although it lacks a younger act.

no real reason really, and like you i expected Glastonbury would be first in line if they returned so soon, but with Roses and Radiohead now in place and me still thinking Sheeran is gonna be there there isn't any room left for them. those three would be ridiculously strong, but i just don't see it. guess there's still nothing cementing the Roses as a headliner other than their tour dates falling around it so maybe we've got it wrong (i doubt it though)

Foos/Radiohead/Stone Roses?

"Then Taylor Hawkins moved on to keyboards (this band is so versatile it's crazy)"

Fucking hell, lads, keyboards now? Slow the fuck down, I don't know if I can handle it.

I would strongly expect it to be a one-off considering the nature of the show but it might just be something interesting to chew over. If we were at a point where Glastonbury hadn't signed all three headliners (eg. the talk of Roses being offered IOW for more money) then getting on the phone to the Foo people and reaching out for a one-off might be a goer. Prince Harry managed it once. Not expecting it but it's too early to close shop on all the headline chat.

oh ffs

[CHRLY]

I had a feeling these lads would mess up the good vibes around here

[Rubber Soldier]

If that's the three we end up with you really can't argue with it. Three of the biggest bookings the festival could make. Obviously not to everyone's taste, but if none of the three are then you're unlikely to be at the Pyramid regardless whos playing.

Anyone got anything to say about Foo Fighters and charity gigs? Perhaps historic ones?

I had a great day out at the Invictus Games show that they headlined a couple of years back. But too drunk though ( me not foos).

[Matt42]

I can't half feel that we consider Sheeran more likely simply because it makes sense for him to do it.

However i'd think that by the end of this year we'd at least hear news / whisperings that he was back in the studio making a new album etc.

I know he's one of the likeliest but there needs to be something out there first for me to believe it. It is almost too quiet on his front at the moment.

You can't cheat at Russy bingo, it has to happen naturally

[Zoo Music Girl]

I'd much rather see Foo Fighters than Stone Roses.

That's right, I went there.

I absolutely agree with all of this.

I get what you mean, but with a global superstar like Sheeran there doesnt need to be all this build up and talk of him being in the studio - he'll just drop a single/album announcement out of nowhere and that'll be that. There's always the chance that the album could take longer and not be out in time, but that doesn't seem very likely to me. All we're waiting for really is Neil to hear something more concrete

[FuzzyDunlop]

To be honest, I wanted one Pyramid headliner I really want to see. It looks as though I will get one - Radiohead. 

It can be anyone other than Coldplay / Muse and I will not complain. Even Sheeran. Yes he is shite, but he has never headlined and is big enough.

Daft Punk is preferable though...

Like Adele did with her latest album, it basically just dropped out of nowhere and then it was everywhere.

The Foos didn't just bail on Glastonbury, they bailed on a few festivals and stadium dates. They're more likely to rearrange the entire tour in a year or two than come back just for GF.

Fucking hell matt. Did you do that on purpose? Summoning him up from where ever he has been?!

If you say Sheeran three times whilst looking into a mirror at midnight he will appear and warble earnestly about drugs or something.

My sentiments exactly. I'd love three really great headliners, but at the same time I don't want to be at the Pyramid for all three evenings. So if I get one, I'm happy. Even though I'd secretly like two more. 

A first world problem if ever there was one.

He looks like a ventriloquist dummy brought to life in that pic. Chilling.
