Do they play any Nirvana tunes?

Not really. Only Marigold, and that's essentially a Foo Fighters song with Krist on bass.

I see the two resident moaning gits aren't happy. Oh what a shame. 

Foos will absolutely smash it. They have been best rock band in world for years now. Their shows are awesome. 

If only i had a ticket.

United fan from hundreds of miles away mocks a Manchester resident for supporting City because they're a comparably smaller club. A tale as old as time.

Oh I got that I just didn't understand who he was talking to and where the hell it came from.

Someone a while back talked about Shaun Goater (old Man City player). Did seem a bit odd after the conversation had moved on though

Ah fair enough I'd read that post when it was posted and forgotten about it, so was a bit confused by the reply to it 13 hours and 5 posts later without quoting it.

Now it's passed Tuesday the 10th April (), waiting on the email to tell me I've won a Foo Fighters hoodie 'ere.

[MikeEssex85]

for some reason I came accross this video whilst listening to some Foo's tonight

How crazy would it be if they opened Glastonbury with 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'  Field would go Insane!

I know that's extremely unlikely yet I do think they are going to do something special this year and surprise us. This Glastobury gig has had a long build up with the cancellation the other year, so I reckon they will really pull out all the stops! (although saying that i doubt they will beat their Milton Keynes Bowl show which is up there with my favourite gigs ever but you never know)

I'm not sure what to do about them. Last year I skipped Adele and went off solo with no real plan in mind and afterwards when I watched her set on TV I kind of regretted it, my group said she was awesome. I'm kind of in the same boat with the Foos, like Adele I find their music hopelessly dull on record but id imagine it's a bit more engaging live. I'm fairly sure all my group will be wanting to see them so maybe if there's no other headliner that interests me (unlikely) ill come along. But I'm fucked if I'm standing there for 3 fucking hours while Dave runs around and shouts at me with the end result being zero chance of getting into the SE corner.

in the exact same boat. skipped adele, went to new order. Felt they were slightly disapointing (not bad or anything but like a 6.5/7 out of 10).

 

I think its just the energy of the pyramid stage. its a special place at night.  I think ill be there for all 3 tbh. Radiohead 100% , foos and ed more than likely. The headlines of the other stages need to be pretty special to pull me away.

[Madyaker]

Whatever about the Foos but Ed can fuck right off. Id rather go snorkeling down the long drops.

Maybe they might do a Florence cover or have her come onstage and sing with them since she replaced them and did one of their songs

Halfway mark between Frome & Pilton. Not long now!

[arcade fireman]

Foos are the perfect headliner in some ways for me. I like quite a few of their songs, I've grown up with them but I'd never pay to see them live. Whereas a headline slot at Glasto is the ideal time to see them. Just hope there's no one good clashing...

[FloorFiller]

Just two hours!? You lied to us Dave! Thought they'd be getting 2 hours 30 at least so surprised by this (especially with Radiohead get an hour 15. Not complaining mind - 2 hours sounds far less of a slog. They just better not fill any of it with a shitty covers section.

As you say, this will hopefully cut a fair bit of the filler out.

[thewayiam]

I can easily see them finishing at 12 like Muse did last year and coming on a tad early like they have done before at TITP I believe before.

Also removes the likelihood of a few album/lesser played songs that I would've quite liked, but ah well. And I bet they still throw in a cover or two.

[TiZuff]

If the covers smells like teen spirit I ain't complaining !

They'll need to cut their planned 45 minutes of AIDS denial down to a lean twenty.

I quite like it

I feel that having very little anticipation for their set is gonna do wonders, i'm excited to be reminded of why they are a great live act.
