For beck i was surrounded by people angrily waiting for Coldplay in silence.  

Coldplay fans impatiently and pointedly tapping their inert readytoflash wristbands.

TBH I can't imagine Coldplay fans getting angry. I assumed they're all a bit Stepford Wivesish.

Yes. Subbing the Strokes.

Billy Joel at Wembley the week before, could be him. Take that also around I think. 

Not very exciting but available 

Actually Shazamed a tune on the radio earlier because it was so bad. Turned out to be this.

I actually think I could have a chance in the re sale.

Sorry if this is annoying but can someone take the time out and reply to me with the actual evidence that Nick Grimshaw said the Stroked

all I’ve seen is people saying they’d heard him mention it on the radio

Hahaha. Yeah, nobody complained actually. Lots of huffing and looking at watches. I think one person said ‘I am looking forward to Coldplay. I think they will be good. I hope they arrive on stage on time but don’t stay on too late as I’m going to bed after this’.

He said it 2 days in a row, the one I heard is on this below (the 2nd of the two days he said it I think). He says it very early on so you shouldn't have to listen too long

Same.

Not really fussed about any of these rumoured headliners. Unless they get Madonna, which I doubt.

In fact I'd much rather they followed Coachella's lead and gave Tame Impala a bump up over a washed up Strokes. they were excellent in the sub slot in 2016 and have a new record coming which is out before the summer supposedly.

Upvoted for listening to Radio 1 two days on the bounce.

Hahaha no no I can't take that credit. I only listened the 2nd day and that was on iPlayer. Someone else mentioned it on here which led me to listen back as I'm in the minority who would absolutely love to see The Strokes there

FWIW, I prefer it how@Matt42 refers to them: 'The Stroked'.

Muse subbing playing Black Holes ad Revelations in full with an orchestra was a good one, too.

Radiohead won't play the Pyramid as the PA/speaker system isn't to their liking apparently.

For what it’s worth, for a while I actually believed that one lol.

Wish they had been overruled on the screens mind

“I have heard a hot rumour that the strokes are going to be performing at glastonbury”

did we just gloss over that? He didn’t mention headlining at all.

unless he mentioned it again on the other day

We connected that with some news someone got on here that they were headlining with The Cure and Stormzy and how low the odds are which have seemed back ages ago. If they play, they headline.

No that has been mentioned, Neil mentioned it again earlier as well when I asked if he thought they'd headline

The headline bit came from someone on here who heard (prior to Macca being ruled out) that it was Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure from someone who works for a big promoter

It's been mentioned multiple times that he didn't say headlining.

Who's mam on here has heard of The Strokes then?

As DandyB said (great username by the way, gonna whack SIAS on now!), I would be very shocked if Strokes agreed to play but not headline. They pretty much only do festivals now to get the cash in, i.e. Gov Ball. I don't think they'll be arsed otherwise, I'm sure they've been asked before but not to headline and they've turned it down.

Woooo, thanks love! I didn't realised how those reactions worked so I'd been handing them out willy nilly all of yesterday like a total mum until I realised I ran out for the day.

They were booked because Justin Timberlake sacked it off. And he’s well washed up.

People tried to say the same about The Cure. That the bassist’s (don’t start) daughter only said they were playing Glastonbury. They eventually saw sense though.
