My thoughts exactly! O-Rod / Greenday / Fred is not a bad little balance at all IMO

Thumbs up from me for that trio 👍🏼 

 

As much as I understand the mixed feelings around Eminem. I do think it will be a shame if Glasto miss out on such a monumental artist. Can't see it happening though.

 


I feel like Fred Again / Green Day / Olivia Rodrigo makes more sense. I feel like Eminem does stuff for the money so I can’t see it.

It does in that system and maybe it's a one of case of olivia willing to do 3 in a row being the second two are the same place. I guess there is also a case she is older now etc etc.

The Rodrigo situation is the main thing that gives me pause on the Green Day dream. She doesn’t seem to have done 3 back to back at any point according to this

Nope she hasn't since the Sour tour where she did it a few times.

 

I'm going to go out on a whim and say she might be willing to do 3 dates now she's a bit older.

 

Fred Again, Green Day, Olivia closing on Sunday. Either that or Green Day aren't there and it's just a convenient gap.

Yeah, that would have been market saturation to the max. (Though I do wonder if Muse were considered after the kerfuffle with Foo Fighters.)

Probably not, given Dave Grohl fell off that stage in Sweden very close to Glastonbury weekend and Muse would've likely had commitments (one that their fan Wiki says included Werchter, which must've been on the same weekend)

It would be super bizarre of Download to have put out social media posts heavily implying Green Day are there for them not to be there.

someone said they did the exact same re MCR last year to be fair

 

but i do agree

I do think Green Day will play Friday Download but if they want to play Glastonbury I don't think any amount of money is stopping them from ticking it off.

Yeah, the MCR baiting is what has a few people stung on Green Day being an absolute lock.

 

But if they've missed out Green Day and a Linkin Park reunion, think there will be understandable disappointment in some quarters.

 

I can't remember the history - could it be it wasn't baiting yet they thought they would play - and something changed - Feels more likely to me? But I do not know the ins and outs.

 

Similarly  maybe KOL thought they would be playing Glastonbury when they put all those images on socials- then things broke down.

 

Got no proof either way so just a theory.

I think there was an assumption MCR were going to tour in earnest this year, and it never materialised.

 

One of those bands for whom it would be headline or nothing at the G anyway, and I frankly cannot see EE having any interest in them.

 

But also, given their penchant for short shows sometimes - think their WWWY set the other day was very quick - the kind of band who would be a terrific secret slot pick.

 

Not a chance in a month of Sundays, of course.

I must've missed their MCR baiting promo material.

 

Even then, the Green Day phrasing saw in their posts a few days ago was as subtle as a brick.

The MCR was just as blatant - something about the black parade

The KOL case has a much simpler explanation if you ask me. Whoever is in charge of social media has a library of archive footage to pull from and they pick a Glastonbury clip. Engagement is really big, partly because of all the speculation it starts. So the social media person keeps posting more clips from Glastonbury because it's their job to increase engagement and followers. 

 

Nothing in the wording ever made it seem like they were teasing an appearance. It always felt more of a push to sell their other dates by reminding people how great their Glastonbury performance was.

Maybe Green Day will headline Download, but do a Foos style slot on the Pyramid. I just can't see them headlining both festivals.

That's not unthinkable to be honest, it would make use of the available gap but for an hours set meaning meaning punters still need to go to Download if they want the full thing. Something that I can imagine being a compromise on for both parties and it means Olivia doesn’t do 3 days running. It's not like when Foos did it they weren't a band chasing money either. They would have a day's break, do an hour/hrs 15 set and then only need to get to Luxembourg with a day's rest. Very doable.

 

Something like

 

Olivia

Yungblud

Green Day

A fair reasoning, at the time it seemed a strong hint but it’s too easy to jump to conclusions

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
