Hmm. Crüe I can really see. Lord knows how they’ll sort a spinning drum kit on the pyramid! 

They're in it for the money so I can't see it at all. There are not many I bow to in my Motley fandom but I wish they really had knocked it on the head after the last tour, it wasn't good.

Vince Neil’s voice nowadays ? I just think they might fancy a big headline or two courtesy of glastonbury

( in other news, as great as The Dirt book is, have you read the Vince Neil biog? It’s a good read. He is such a terrible, reprehensible c**t. It’s his co-written biog and he still comes across as just . . . dreadful. Very recommended!)

I've not, but it sounds promising :D

Weird how they were my favourite band for years but at least 3 of them are horrific people.

I saw those 2 shows but in Manchester. 

The Crüe US tour has been announced and it's stadiums :D Dragging along some other names to help shift the tickets:

Went to all three of the above. Happy days indeed. Had front row for Ozzy too, in those days you had to queue up to get tickets!

Are we still expecting a Friday rock act now we know Aerosmith are playing Saturday? We could easily still get Judas Priest but the big rock act comment surely applies to Aerosmith.

Nah it’s gotta be Aerosmith Emily was talking about. Don’t think she ever mentioned a specific day for the rock slot and Aerosmith fit the bill perfectly.

Yeah i think people just assumed Friday, not sure why tbh, but this has got to be it

I've just checked Priests dates, and while they could squeeze Glasto in I don't think it's likely from their locations around Glasto.

So I think it was Aerosmith that Nick was referring to when he said about a big band for the rock slot.

Was Friday in 15, 16 and 17 so we all just assumed the same this year, but clearly scheduling etc determines where certain bands play and I’m sure being pre-Macca was a big selling point on them agreeing to do this. Hope the rock slot doesn’t die after next year as it’s hard to imagine them being able to top it in terms of size.

Inspired by the other thread. Gonna moot this.

The “gone big on the rock slot” comment was a red herring. We think it’s Aerosmith but instead it’s actually another act doing a slot on the pyramid on the Friday.

Foo Fighters.

Its weird they are coming to Europe (Lisbon) for just one date.

Foos opening Friday could line with what Emily said about some major on-the-day surprises.

Cue Dave Grohl rolling out at midday with a joke about being early this year to make up for late last time, the whole field laughs and they kick into Generator.

I for one wouldn't be complaining.

There's a major surprise and there's having one of the biggest bands in the world playing when a massive chunk of the punters are wandering around for breakfast or still curled up in a ball after smashing the first night in the SE Corner!
