Very. Since the Foo's announcement yesterday it's now taken a complete turn.

 

Gone from GnR definite, to U2 & Foo's

Foo2

U2 but with Grohl on drums. Solves the Larry problem and keeps Neil happy.

Putting out fires left, right and centre today.

Right so sensibly we've dispelled Foos, secret set does seem concievable to me though, you can easily close of JP field like they did with Killers

Now on to U2 - everyone want to band together on solving that one?

I find it very bizzare that my mate who has nothing to do with the forums popped up in my messages saying "Glasto - U2" just mere hours before @Willy-wam-wam-wozzledropped the same info here

Can somebody explain WHY they would book the Foos so soon again?

Can anyone offer a valid reason for bringing them back?

I don’t think they’ll headline this year but I do think they’re absolutely a contender for 2024. By then they’ll have had two new albums out since they last headlined and while admittedly most people aren’t bothered by them releasing new stuff, it’s a fair gap that other headliners have had too. The fallow year and covid years mean it is still quite soon since their last headline slot but I think seven years is enough time for them to get away with it, basically the same gap as Coldplay in 2011 and 2016. 

They wouldn’t be an exciting booking but they’ll be a big draw when they’re back and I’m sure Emily will be keen to book them again.

What did the Foos say?

They announced 3 US shows right? But did they say anything about UK shows?

don't know if it's been posted here already, but there is something going on with UK shows:

Not just in my head fella. 

 

Also don't know why you come in this section so angry, its 9:41 in the morning

It is literally just in your head.

And I’m not angry in the slightest, don’t manifest your feelings on to me.

Foos aren’t headlining, calm down and deal with it.

Just to recap - 

FF isn't happening. All common sense tells us that it's too soon for a return. Maybe a couple more festivals down the line.

U2 isn't happening. Yes, two people have said they've heard it, but ultimately the band isn't active in the right time frame - Larry is out due to recovering from surgery, and Bono is expected to do mini-residences for his half musical half spoken word theatre show in various fashionable cities through the summer.

If it's not GnR, then it's not either of the above either. But it probably is GnR.

I think it’s as simple as a big band making an announcement and lots of people putting 2 and 2 together and getting the answer they want.

Don’t get me wrong I think Bono would love to do it and properly smash it and in that respect whilst Larry is out is Glastonbury’s best chance as he said never again but they must still be very unlikely if there is solid information about AM and GnR.

This U2 answer is the sensible conclusion that I came to whilst deep diving the internet yesterday, and promptly sent to my mate who said they were playing

Then @Willy-wam-wam-wozzlepopped up with the same rumour and threw me off track

I still think Reading will get them again before Glastonbury do.

For all of Dave's nice words about GF Reading has always been their spiritual home in this country. Add to that Reading are far less bothered about repeat headliners and have pockets deep enough to make it happen.

Wouldn't be shocked if Melvin is speaking to them right now about 24...

I think the same.

I also think to all the Foo fans who want them back so soon, if you can hold off, it'll be a much better set after being away. I love Radiohead but I don't want them back anytime soon because I know if they did come back in 10-15-20 years it'd hit so much better.

The very definition of toxic is wanting a band to headline 2 festivals later because you like them more than one that is already rumoured.

The world doesn’t revolve around you.

Not according to dictionary.com

When have I ever said I/Myself want Foo Fighters to healdine??!?!?! I just said I think they will?

 

This is a headliners conversation right? We're all allowed to have a bit of fun jojning in with our suggestions?

I've made it clear I want EJ/Lizzo & Prodigy to be a headliner in some capacity and they are all I really care about, bar Fed Again.

 

You're the only indiviual with some chip on your shoulder at this time in the mornig trying your hardest to be negative and rude.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
