Yeah if Green Day are taking IOW along with owns shows due to being paid heavy, Glastonbury to actually play isn't on their radar

That's Sunday if at all on the Other stage, they won't be put on the Pyramid on the 'locals' day.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And cos they f**ked it last time they were on there.

I always look down the Setlist.fm pages for a Thirty Seconds to Mars show and it's always crammed with notes like:

Ext. bridge

Fans screaming on stage

False outro

Buy Bitcoin Weetabix

And so on.

I've just got to assume it's more stop-start than an old Alfa Romeo.

Sounds not unlike the Green Day show I saw at Emirates Stadium 10 years ago

Tool 3 hour Other Stage Headline set in a world record length epic set

Alternatively they could headline 2 consecutive nights with 2 different sets. I can’t see any reason why this couldn’t happen.

Lets not.

If they want 2 hours and agree with the fee they will get 2 hours i reckon.

[Drinky]

Tool stage to be installed in Williams Green for them to play one different song every hour on the hour for three days

[Metal Monkey]

Or they could make it so that all the TBA's are Tool playing different parts of their set. TBA would stand for Tool Band Again.

I like it.

I've no idea what Tool play, but the Chaos this could cause would be fantastic.

that would be bloody excellent to be fair. God knows they have the material to do that. Although they are a bit niche for the average festival goer I'd likely end up going to both nights no matter who was on!

their set pushes 2 hours usually, around 1h50 I'd guess when I saw them at the O2 in 22. If they play, I'd want a full set. None of that 90 min pack as much in as possible and miss out intros etc bullshit like when I saw them at Download 2019

Did anyone go for Green Day tickets? £125 for front standing at Wembley is not unexpected but mad!. £110 at Manchester isn't great. I'll wait until later for Pitch Standing/unreserved A/B as these sections are right at the rear. I won't get lucky like I did got Liam to stand in the wrong bit and the seat not be claimed

Was their 2017 Pyramid sub-head set that bad?

Lots of tickets for The Killers and Arctic Monkeys popped up at reduced fees on Twickets before the show days. Maybe I'll wait for then.

Either that or go to a show outside the UK as part of a holiday.

It wasn’t the train wreck it’s often talked of, but they made some weird choices, playing a lot of new unheard material and leaving out a bunch of their more well known songs. Tbh they were in a tricky spot either way because most of that crowd were just there to get a space for Foos and couldn’t give a f**k so I don’t think it would’ve made a difference even if they played a ‘hits’ set.

Green Day show tonight cancelled due to illness. Gutted for those who managed to get tickets. 

[Burritomancer]

TRNSMT lineup announcement incoming.

Ouch! Cancelled just before doors were supposed to open. Maybe enjoyed themselves a little bit too much last night?

In a more recent interview (can't remember who with), the band themselves said they don't think they made the most of the slot, and I guess being between two crowd-pleasers in Katy Perry & Foo Fighters (if likely very different crowds) didn't help. Plus yeah, as noted, it was very heavy on Sleep Well Beast when at that point I think they'd only released System Only Dreams.

Phwoargh...

Anyone been to the Eden Sessions before? If so, what time does it normally end? Accomodation for National is already expensive.

Look I have no problem with us beefing with 30 Seconds of Shat but let’s lay off the Alfas

My old man used to have a 1972 Alfa Romeo. Bless him, it was a crock of sh*t, but it was also better looking than both of his children.

See, their 2017 slot is how I discovered The National in earnest, and remains the best of the three times I've seen them. It really worked for me. Was gutted to be away for the autumn run a few weeks ago.

Agreed. Every day has something from start to finish. Like an American Hellfest.

Daytona Florida, though. Like an American hell fest.

Yeah, I enjoyed that set too. Also missed the autumn tour, so really pleased to see a good run of UK shows coming up. The supports for that London show are excellent. Would love to see Kevin Morby on the farm.
