People don’t play Glasto for the money. 

 

They're an American band so the sentimental reasons for playing it will have much less impact on whether they play it or not. Glasto simply cannot afford Green Day - it'd have happened by now if they could. Otherwise they'd have took a low fee to play "Donnington" if they were being sentimental - which they didn't.

£££ wont stop Green Day playing Glasto. BBC are a pretty big company.

I don't know what Green Day gain from doing Glastonbury.

Another one to tick off the list I suppose.

I think they'll be back at Download before they play Glastonbury.

I don't see them caring for a tiny fee.

I'd agree on that, they just need to book more of the bill consistent with that trend. If you boom a day like Friday then you need to booked something similar or connected at least consistently over the weekend to sell. That might mean completely different top end that they are used to.

I don't get what makes Green Day different from the many that came before them tbh

Off to Wembley tonight now with a very very late tickrt purchase that I couldn't afford to turn down. The seat I got for the price someone let it go for was mad. Whole they will play Download next year, I'm sat down here or even stood up I've got a great view.

I’m very intrigued to know how JPEGMAFIA goes down. Give us an update? One of my mates is going today and she’s not a fan so I’m interested to hear a second opinion!

Honestly I probably won't be in there by the time they start. I'm also not a Spirit Box fan so may not be in there until 7:45pm ish. It was as I say very late, having been out late last night and had a run today in the wind which was really fun lol, I'm having some down time before going.

Interestingly, I spoke to a friend at oasis last night that also said on paper the Download day just hits! But said in person, it didn't hit as you would hope, he also said he thought Weezer were a bit boring and it just didn't go as it should have. I was 5 rows from the from the front for Weezer and I agreed. It was the right run at the wrong festival which is the case with Download sometimes unfortunately. Weezer just didn't work at all. He also said he enjoyed Jimmy as I did but that wasn't loads better. This person is more open than me for music wise though with Download, I wouldn't say he's open to as much different music as me....I'm fact he's not but he's definitely into more heavier and lighter rock than I am.

Any chances of MCR? Or would that absolutely not be a hit to the general Download crowd?

MCR would be the biggest booking they could make and they would get a hero’s welcome. Those two Wembley shows count them out almost certainly, though. 2027 could be a shout but I expect R&L to go in for them too.

You will get a ticket. I entered at 33k and 24k, I will get one if I want to sit in the gods at the back or something. I think they've done it this way to avoid festivals where they don't need to be. They don't like each other, it's a money spinner
