Welcome to the club! Good luck for April  

Thank you!!  First time this year I missed out on the sale ! 

long time reader, short time signer uper

Interesting that ed is headlining the Sunday - just had it so firm in my mind he was gonna be the sat headliner

maybe it's because the foos couldn't get their nearly 3hr long slot on the Sunday without it messing up times

[Roger1]

Fabulous stuff tonight, can't wait for this blasting out of the pyramid

[brettredmayne]

Loving this, in episode 2 I want to have @eFestivals give us updates from a Radiohead gig

Dave Grohl sure does love that shirt. Never out of the thing. Bet he's got like seven of the same shirt in his wardrobe.

It's a little known fact that Dave Grohl doesn't sweat so he has just the one shirt.

Well his spelling will be a lot better because people wont be knocking in to him all the time

[SteveTLizard]

They better hope Farage doesn't turn up, he don't like strangers round ere, straight back to la la land with you

[Bisque]

Popped over to my parents house, caught my mom & dad cuddled up on the sofa watching the Foo's gig on his Samsung Galaxy. Said my friend was at the gig right now & the fact it was being streamed live blew his mind.

Edit: what blew my mind was that my mom knew Grohl was the drummer in Nirvana!

Impossible.  I'd be asleep before the end of the first song.

Hoping Farage doesn't turn up can be applied to most places and situations

Buy him a pint and ask him about green day 

[Mollyanne&Mike]

This thread demonstrates how I so need more than four up votes a day, or need advance warning of better posts to come !

It's been a right rollercoaster on here this week. I'm no Foo Fighters fan but the way they  have announced their Glastonbury Headliner slot has been class!! Brilliant detective work Parsonjack. Well  done and congratulations in getting in. It was edge of your seat stuff, I can tell you.

I know we knew but gotta love the bands effort and enthusiasm in making the announcement special

They could have just got Glasto to stick a flag in the pyramid field or get the free press to print the announcement 

If they'd have announced it Wednesday it would have been much better.

Foo Fighters v Alt-J v The Jacksons so far on Saturday night then

Why do people think Alt-J will do Saturday night right between two German shows?

1 hour ago, FloorFiller said:

Playing for 3 hours!

I thought it meant tonight. Probably be 2.5 again, Dave always said they are going to play for hours.

If Radiohead get less than 2 1/2 hours I'll be PISSED.

Foo Fighters may have a lot of songs, but Radiohead have a lot of fucking great songs.

They won't get as long at all.

A 3 hour Foos set - hopefully loads of lesser played album tracks etc - is something I could get behind, although I know to a lot of people on here it'd be a nightmare 

Room for a lot of surprises and guests.

Who's done it better/made it more interesting in your opinion? [honest question]

It's not about who's done it better, it's just dragged on and when you drag it on I want to be surprised like I didn't defo know it was happening. 

Essentially they are doing a gig streamed where you get to see loads of people actually there and confirm what you have known.

[SteveTLizard]

Seriously where the fuck does the drummer get his teeth whitened,  Venus?

Christ dunno if I can be arsed watching 3 hours of them tonight - I'm not nearly drunk enough.

[Funkyfairy!]

Daves not sure what to do ... maybe bring out Ed Sheeran and introduce him to sub Foo's 

[Bisque]

Neil must be having an epic time at this Foo's gig if he has time to reply on here.
