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.

Not just in my head fella. 

 

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

[leath02]

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.

I could get over my distaste for Bono and watch a U2 set.

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:

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.

The weather has been too good at the recent fests for U2 to headline again

[incident]

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 this is for Chris' solo work? He's releasing an album next month.

Genuinely thought this was a Download lineup then

oh sorry, was sure it's about Foos, since it has almost overlapped with yesterday's announcements.

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. 

[Jose Pose]

The timeframe aspect to Foos being booked again should make them less likely to be booked rather than more, the lack of Festivals in 2018, 2020 and 2022 should make rebooking acts again far less likely rather than more likely.

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

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.

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.

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.
