504329lt Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Also worth adding that Amyl and the Sniffers are playing on JP on the Sunday and are on tour with Green Day; if they can travel from Huddersfield and do it and then on to Dublin next day why can't Green Day. And as others have pointed out Green Day played a secret set in the R1 Tent at Reading a few years back so have done short secret sets before and won't need the full production suite that they have on tour. I actually think this may happen with Green Day going on to headline Glastonbury and Download next year. Download is going to be 4 days next year so could easily accommodate Green Day along with more traditional rock headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she bangs the drums Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Killers came from playing Greece the night before to playing Glastonbury. IF Green Day want to do it, they will find a way, and they do have history of doing this at Reading. Add in they have booked the exact weekend to come over to play in UK suggests it is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt87 Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 I'm thinking Green Day is just too hard logistically. Killers had a few days off after their secret set, so I'm thinking Green Day isn't happening. I'm going with 1975 for JP, Jack White for Park and Mumfords for WG. I think War on Drugs just haven't been booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuboid Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Not hating whatsoever (i enjoyed the read). But That Eminem info is the worst i've seen on this platform. As if a) he books his room in his name b) comes to just 'scope out' the worlds biggest festival c) performs just as a guest with an artist he's not remotely (strongly) linked to really It's Eminem. Come on lads and lasses let's keep suggestions at least relatively plausible on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbadger Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Logistics aren't really an issue. If Amyl and the Sniffers can manage it, so can Green Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busy, but hard to gage if it’d be ridiculously so. He’s still a big name who plays a lot of his old bands bangers, but has also gotten pretty weird with his solo stuff lately and isn’t quite the name he once was. The field would still be packed, but I’m unsure if they’d need to close it off for him… edit: but I’m probably underestimating his appeal with a Glastonbury audience. Still a huge name regardless.

Depends on how many casual fans go up for a couple of hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to T in the Park he was on stage extremely late, apparently because they had to hire a coach to drive him across the muddy road to the stage so he didn't get his trainers dirty! Not sure how true that was, but can definitely see it 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sku Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 The Green Day "logistics" argument is just going round and round in circles. It doesn't prove, or disprove anything. Being in Huddersfield the day before, and Dublin the day after is meaningless in figuring out whether it's them playing or not. Far greater distances are travelled by acts on consecutive tour dates, all around the world, every week. It's really not an issue. There are two travel routes: Tour bus through the night. It's extremely common for the tour bus to set off immediately after a show, and travel during the night. Every touring act is entirely used to this. Helicopter. As mentioned, it's around an hour. Almost none, if any, of the equipment will be shared between the main tour and Glastonbury. Everything will be in place waiting for them. They are one of the most successful bands of the past 30 years, it really isn't a problem, any logistics are very easily arranged. But none of this means that they are playing. All I mean to say is the "logistically impossible" argument is just wrong. And especially since Amyl and the Sniffers, literally on the same tour as them, are playing the same stage, on the same day. There is no logistical challenge here at all. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorblindjames Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 This thread is starting to resemble transfer deadline day when players are spotted at airports or motorway service stations.

Billy Corgan's Ego Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 My nerves can't cope with another 'please let it happen' thread akin to the weather one! Green Day are one of my all time favourite bands and seeing them at Glastonbury would be a dream. I would rather someone just came up with something now to rule them out completely, as I think its highly improbable, yet still possible 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 40 minutes ago, downtherabbithole said: Just seen that the drive from Huddersfield to Glastonbury is over 5 hours. Let's say they're off stage by 11 and somehow managed to set off by midnight. They'd have to drive through the night on their tour bus, or set off around 7am the next morning. All of this also rubbishes the rumour of them staying at that hotel near Glastonbury (unless that's the night after the set). Makes it very unlikely unless they have a private jet or are that set on playing a 1 hour Glastonbury set that they are willing to forego a proper night's sleep in between a successive run of tour dates. They ain't gonna be driving the bus. Isn't that one of The Sniffer's jobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamishA. Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Can't handle all this chat of Green Day, Arcade Fire, LCD, The Smile and 1975 (my gf's absolute favourite band), I cannot believe that any of them are going to play, just to be left heartbroken. Wouldn't the bigger surprise set be on The Park rather than John Peel? I just noticed they have a 45 min set-up time for that TBC, compared to 30 for everyone else on that stage... also going up against Elbow, Kacey M, Turnstile and Mcfly (lol) means theres good competition there, surely this is the bigger surprise act??
