Great news and Phil's back, blimey. So a new album and headline act at G21/22, would be amazing if it happened and I bet my kids Xbox it'll be the biggest pyramid crowd ever, of that there is no doubt. Take note, Michael and Emily.

Not even the biggest crowd for a short-arsed Australian.

I mean, I love them but that's nonsense. Do you not like your kids playing on the Xbox?

I really didn't know how much I wanted them headlining the Pyramid til tonight though! Man it'd be good!

I will be buying tickets to their tour though.

Excellent. Very AC/DC. Brian sounds great.

Still annoyed they didn't branch out into ambient Ugandan disco jazz on this album but oh well.

Oh definitely, they don’t stray far from the formula, but it works for them.

Disagree. Biggest crowd ever as they're the best live band ever.

Would it? I mean don’t get me wrong, they’re a big band but they’re hardly the Stones are they?

Sold more records than them and been going for 10 years less.

Think you maybe not understanding what the Glastonbury crowd is like nowadays. I would imagine more people would be happy with Adele than AC\DC.

I think they are only the best band ever if you like their music, otherwise a bit dull i bet. I have seen them by the way but only on the back in black tour, and yep very much enjoyed it. Certainly catch the opening at Glastonbury but would slope off to something else part way through, not that they would play

Tough one to measure as the field will look different when we all migrate to their special own Mainstage they brought themselves.

Indeed, it’s not a criticism of AC/DC but I’m not sure they have the same universal appeal amongst Glasto punters that the Stones had. 

[Hugh Jass]

The Stones was an event, a proper once in a generation event. It felt the entire festival was gearing up to that set all weekend.

AC/DC would be big, but no bigger than the likes of Coldplay, the Foos, Springsteen, etc.

By that token, Elton John has outsold them both, and people here seem to think he'd be in the legend spot.

AC/DC are headline status, and if they played, the crowd would be big. Bigger than Arcade Fire or Metallica. But no way bigger than the Stones, Coldplay or Adele.

I love AC/DC but was sort of done with the one gig I saw after about 45 minutes. Small doses are fine with them really. Theres only so many 3 and a half minute 30 second long 3 chord songs one can take in succession. 

They won't be headlining anyway as there won't be a festival in 2021.

I'm calling it.  @Cooterhas been trying to find a way to get them to spend less time on it, and now he has a way out.

[Quark]

Yep, does what it says on the tin.  Sounds tight, so having the classic lineup back has worked.  If you like AC/DC you'll probably like it, if you don't then you probably won't. You definitely know it's them when you hear it.

Not going to change the world, but it's nice to hear them back.

[CaledonianGonzo]

AC/DC will get the biggest crowd that the Pyramid Stage has ever seen as every Glastonbury ticketholder has to prove they can sing Crabsody in Blue before they're even allowed to buy one.

Well - all of the ones who're still alive.

Did they come up with "a shot in the dark beats a walk in the park"? That's gold.
