Think Fleetwood Mac & Depeche Mode were both quite heavily rumoured in 2014.

Yeah I feel like I remember this one.

Wasn't it meant to be D. Mode, F. Mac and Prince, and then Arcade Fire replaced the Mode when they cancelled their 2014 festivals, Mac things fell through due to illness so Prince shimmied over to Saturday and Kasabian stepped up one from Sunday sub, and then Metallica jumped up a stage when Prince left the proceedings?

Sounds bonkers when you read it back.

edit: I remember Elbow were somewhere in this too. And maybe the Eagles. :wacko:

From memory, I'm pretty sure it was Prince, who was initially pencilled in for the Sunday - tho (from what I heard) he was swapped to Saturday quite early in the booking process (before xmas), presumably because the fest didn't get who they originally wanted (can't remember who, if I ever knew) for the Saturday, and Kasabian were already signed and sealed and suitable for Sunday headlining (which Metallica probably weren't considered suitable for - michael hates getting his ear bent by the locals).

Kasabian were originally playing Saturday? Maybe lead to the confusion with the official merch...

Looking back I imagine Elbow were one of the backup headliners more than anything. I'm sure The Eagles were SR for Sunday for ages and for some reason were being talked about as a Sunday sub.

I would love to see Green Day play. I was never a fan, I grew to like them through years of listening to my younger brother playing their music (on cd and singing with his guitar) through my bedroom wall.  Good Riddance is one of my favourite songs.

Was just thinking I wouldn't mind finally seeing Green Day, but their tour is sold out. Then came on here and saw this thread!

American Idiot is the only album I know well, but they've got plenty of other songs I would enjoy. Would be a great booking.

OK. I cannot handle this for shit. 

They are one of my favourite bands of all time and I've conceded that I'll never get to see them (failed getting tickets for their UK gig this year).

I personally can't see this happening. However. Now you fuckers have put it out there, and Neil has had this info, the seed has been well and truly planted.

If this happens, words cannot describe to you what this would mean to me or how happy I'd be.

If they clash with Radiohead, I will be on suicide watch.

For fuck sake.

They still have two UK shows on sale.

Yeah they would put on a good show at Glasto, you're right there. Would be like The Hives but with songs people know and a ladder.

I know but they're shit midweek dates and I'll have no holiday left :(

I have about 3 or 4 bands who are still active that I need to see before they retire/I die! Green Day are the very, very top of that list.

Probably don't have to worry about them retiring when they seem to be putting across the image that they haven't finished school yet.

How old are you?  How have you not seen them? They were constantly active til about 2009.

I grew up on green day. Im going to see them again next monday as a nostagia trip... seen them 6 another times. Manchester apollo when nimrod came out was one of my first ever gigs. Scary thing is, its nearly 20 years ago.

Can't day I have listened to them much in the last 7/8 years, but I will dig out Kerplunk, Dookie, Nimrod and Insomniac in the week.

I'm 31. I know, I know. It's a disgrace how I haven't. Whenever they've been in the UK there has just been something in the way/no funds.

Warning is my favourite album, can't really pick between Dookie/Nimrod. Absolutely love American Idiot too. 21st Century has got some decent tunes on but can't say I've sat down and listened properly to anything they've brought out since (although I've heard bits I've liked!).

I bet that Apollo gig was immense!

Yeah it was. It was my second gig with my mates after Oasis @ the G Mex.

I saw them at V98 (first festival, my dad took me), Warning tour, American Idiot tour, 21st Century tour & I got a freebie from a mate to see them at Old Trafford. 

Next Monday is a just for nostalgia really.

I thought it was Metallica who were definitely penciled in last minute to replace Prince as they were in the country already scheduled to be an exclusive to Sonisphere.

Here was Sonisphere's statement on the matter:

Quote

"No doubt you have all heard the news today that Metallica are to appear at this year's Glastonbury Festival. It was only last week that the band were officially asked to headline the legendary Pyramid Stage and, in turn, they immediately asked Team Sonisphere what we thought about releasing them from their exclusive appearance at Sonisphere."

"Glastonbury is an institution and the pinnacle of performance for any artist in the UK and we know the band will be amazing!"

This was in May. And Kasabian were already on the lineup at this point?

IIRC Metallica was placera on the rumour page as SR for otheratage well before that

Surprised but happy at all of the Green Day love on here. I literally couldn't care for music at all back in 2004/5ish, not one bit, I was only 13, and I remember seeing them play American Idiot live on TV, and it's literally the reason I picked up a guitar and got into music as a whole. I can remember it so vividly it's bizarre. I prefer their pre-American Idiot stuff now but still, I'm another one who would be over the moon if this was true.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
