Highly doubt Green Day would refuse Glastonbury over the length of their set. They would probably go for 2 hours over 90 minutes and would probably get it too. I don't think you'd see them at Glastonbury anyway. Seen GD 3/4 times over the years. I'm not saying they have no idea of each other, I just can't see them being the kind of that would band that would make Eavis bend over and start shouting "everything guys, everything you've asked for you can have" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'd be made up if it was Green Day but there's no way they're doing 4 nights on the bounce. Imagine Billy Joe bickering his voice at Glastonbury and having to cancel their own stadium gig in Dublin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGABOWL Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Green Day are absolutely a headliner if they ever play. If they turn it down because they don’t get a longer slot than the Stones, McCartney, Springsteen, The Who etc got well f**k them. Can’t see that being the issue really though.

I don't think they would outright turn it down based on set length. There Reading 2013 headline set was 2 1/4 hours so they will do shorter sets than they might ideally want to do. But I can imagine this conversation: Eavis: Hello, Billie Joe, wanna play Glastonbury? Billie Joe: Yessir Eavis: Cool, is 90 minutes okay. Billie Joe: We were think more 2 1/2 hours? Eavis: Faff off, The 1975 have said 90 minutes is cool by them or I can give The Who 2 1/2 hours and there less of a outside booking anyway. You know what I think of post-punk anyway. Bye How that conversation would actually play out... Eavis: Hello, Billie Joe, wanna play Glastonbury? Billie Joe: Yessir Eavis: Cool, is 90 minutes okay. Billie Joe: We were think more 2 1/2 hours? <Raucous laughter then phone goes dead> Billie Joe: Hello? Michael? Are you still there?

Matt42 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 If they were playing Glastonbury they wouldn’t schedule their tour in a way that would make it painfully difficult for them to play at their best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezer aren't subbing the Pyramid unless someone of The Stones stature comes along like with Primal Scream and say that's what they want.....unlikely. 2 hours ago, Robinn said: You wouldn’t see me near any of those headliners. I did enjoy FM earlier this year, but seeing them once would be enough for me. AM never seems to work for me live. And The 1975... I don’t know in which universe they’re ready to headline such a big festival. Saw them a few months ago and they were mediocre at best. I don't dislike but have no time for either. When you sell how they do though can't complain. 1 hour ago, robillustrates said: I'd offer sexual favours for anyone who can convince Eavis to bury the hatchet and book the Red Hot Chili Peppers to headline Glastonbury though. RHCP are cack now, last time I've heard them sound good was 2013 and I think that was a one off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Considering the new Green Fay album is 26 minutes long, why would they really need 2 1/2 hrs to fit in 3 new songs into their setlist. Radiohead did 2 hours and 15 minutes in 2017 and that was a full set. No need for a marathon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play four songs and spend the rest of the time shout 'heyyy-ohhhh', firing toilet paper cannons and inviting teenage plants on stage to knock out one of their songs on guitar. It is actually good the one time. Edited September 13, 2019 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roasting if the Chillis were ever booked would make the treatment meted out to Ashcroft and the Killers look like a fan club meeting.
