Vidsidasta Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Quote Fans did not appear to notice a difference in the band's last appearance with one fan describing the concert as an "amazing performance". I love Snow Patrol and will be there for their Glasto performance, but this made me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunk pumpkin Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I hope they do play. Seen them a couple of years back and enjoyed the show. They are currently on my extensive reserve list if I’m in the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've cancelled 3 shows because they say he is integral to their sound but I would have thought with a bit of time you could get a decent session guitarist.

fightoffyour Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm not watching anything at the time they're on so selfishly I'd be pretty happy if they cancelled so there was something I might like on instead. Shame for them and their fans if it happened though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhysieg Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 If Snow Patrol pull out it would be very short notice to find a replacement of that stature. I wonder what Glastonbury would do - Do they just push everyone below them up one slot? Or alternatively they could push The Vaccines up, although this would mess with the now traditional Friday other stage opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didinowanttohearthat Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 The snobbery on this forum is hilarious. Why's it so upsetting that a band you don't like are playing lol? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richy24 Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) They have only cancelled the next 3 shows so i think they will be fine for Glastonbury. Although the band are being a bit coy with what the actual injury is, there's a full 2 weeks rest between the show in Belfast and Glastonbury. Also interesting that their website shows them playing 2 days at Glasto - Friday 28th and Saturday 29th? Secret set maybe?

Didn't the Libertines step in at very short notice when Foo Fighters had to pull out? I'm sure there will be plenty wiling to take the slot. Kaiser Chiefs maybe? Just checked and KCs are playing Newmarket racecourse on the Friday Edited June 11, 2019 by Padgey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is for snow patrol really - they did arenas earlier in the year. Fits nicely. Anyway I'm still hoping Doves for the park early slot on Saturday!
