I'm 21 and so many people i know would kill to see a circa 2010 AM set haha With the new stuff its just what i've seen this summer and in 2018 unfortunately, whereas i know there will be something new I can see instead. with the choice of big acts every night at headliner time at glasto I don't really want to settle for an act i've just seen unless they are my absolute favourites!

Alex DeLarge Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Arctic Monkeys have released three albums since they last played, including AM. A non-single like I Wanna Be Yours has 800million+ streams on Spotify. There are uni students who love them who were in primary school when they last headlined. Would be mad to think it's the same level as re-booking the Foo Fighters IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While some do headline again quite soon I think that's generally because other stuff gets cancelled / slips through fingers - otherwise it's fairly exceptional for the repeat-headline to be quite as soon as Foos would be. If it's not due to someone else pulling out then I'd expect them to be either british, female, or to have massively increased their profile (i.e. Foos seem incredibly unlikely to me).

JoeyT Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Let's hypothetically say that the 2020 & 2021 festivals took place which meant it was 6 years + 4 festivals since the Foo's last headlined. What would opinion be on them headlining again in 2023? Same as now? Slightly more acceptable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I think we'll see a Dave Grohl acoustic set with him guesting as drummer with QOTSA rather than a Foo Fighters headline. The other less likely thing I've leaned towards is a headline set from Foo Fighters & Friends. Lars Ulrich will be on site as he's fallen in love with the place since Metallica headlined so I don't think it would be too much of a leap to see him come on with James Hetfield and do a Metallica song or two. Likewise other artists coming on a la Macca's set last year to guest on a few Foo's songs / do their own. I certainly don't think that as an idea is inconceivable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said the same myself recently. Don't think it's actually likely to happen but I reckon after the Taylor tribute gigs it would go down a storm. Then comes to question of whether that's just riding off the back of the success of shows for a dead friend, or continuing to celebrate him without officially calling it another tribute show. Tricky.

For me the only way I'd see them as being likely is if someone else who was planned to headline had to pull out. It's probably now late enough, in terms of securing big acts, for that timeline to be already in play - e.g. if GnR have backed away then probably too late to secure a lot of people so Foos could come in to play. I 'think' they'd be more likely to call round British acts first, but Foos do have a couple of new albums (any good? no idea...) and I've seen a few posts on here saying they've engaged well with the Eavii (the Chris Martin approach).
