I’ve always assumed he’s saving the big 20k for the day Nick Cave is announced as headliner.

While the thread is in full on silly mode I’ve just seen a tweet mentioning U2. 
 

They have fairly high odds on a reappearance. It would mean an early visit to the naughty corner for myself though.

It's the kind of day the Michael Jackson popcorn gif was made for.

I feel like that gif is too calm a chew for the nonsense today..

When are Abba reuniting?

With the pauses, as Lindsey Buckingham intended it to be heard.

Doesn't that clash with Daft Punk?

[BambooShanks]

I reckon Neil is absolutely pissing himself at the frenzy he has whipped up.

I doubt it, I'm under 30 and wouldn't say that I know a lot of peers desperate to see Zep in the same way that they were desperate to see Radiohead or Fleetwood Mac. 

Yep, very small percentage I'd imagine. Yesterday's act.

No chance they would do Pangea.

Totally bonkers in here today, Neil dropped an "information" grenade and left us all to it. 

Chaos has followed. 

So much has happened that I can't find his post to know what the "info" was!!!! And now there are so many names flying about it's impossible to work out.... Was the info on Led Zep???

[MaxPower]

Jokes aside, how come Daft Punk only played once (97?)? Too expensive?

I think it was someone Neil knows who has previously supplied good info said LZ, FM were headlining but said even the guy thought it was ridiculous.

Then madness ensued.

Led Zeppelin not as popular as Kylie....? My word...

You seem to be struggling to distinguish things here.

Are Led Zeppelin, on account of the satanic-worshipping neckbeards who idolise them for absolutely no apparent reason, more popular than Kylie overall? Possibly.

Are the above fans the ones getting Glastonbury tickets? Not really. Glastonbury isn't really their thing and, besides, the WiFi in their parents' basement is notoriously patchy.

So, overall, if Kylie and LZ were both playing on the Pyramid Stage on consecutive days, I would bank on Kylie drawing a bigger crowd. She'd certainly have a much wider demographic than LZ would.

They toured every 10 years. 2007 would have been the year to get them. No idea what they would have cost.

Wireless got them but that was a festival pumped with cash

Neil got an e-mail ages ago from someone that's been right in the past saying these big names were playing, only told us about it yesterday coz it seemed silly.

Then there was a fairly standard ahah there's no way Led Zep are playing.

And then people were like ahah why are we talking about Led Zep?

And then people were like wait we're talking about Led Zep?

And then a bunch of people came in and said I go away for 5 mins and suddenly we're talking about Led Zep?!

And now we're at a point where people seem to genuinely think Led Zep aren't one of the biggest rock bands of all time and that people.

[a6l6e6x]

Are Daft Punk even that good live? Has anyone seen them before to confirm

Find someone who loves you as much as the singer of Led Zeppelin loves his own willie.
