Head Honcho Posted 23 November 2009 Share Posted 23 November 2009 That's pretty good considering it's in the middle of their US Tour. And first gig in 25 years . Knew they'd been going for ages but not at least 25 years. I first saw them circa 1980 so it's more than 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrenchel Posted 25 November 2009 Share Posted 25 November 2009 U2?! Fvck off Eavis. Oh well. At least the nu-glastonbury, student, indie pisshead types will be confined to one place so everyone else can get off their nuts somewhere else without having to look at their 'hilarious' massive flags.

adam1 Posted 28 November 2009 Share Posted 28 November 2009 Muse are heavily rumoured. Last played in 2004. Third band I would suggest the kinks - they had to pull out of the first glastonbury so it makes sense - 40 years on and they finally play.

Just a few that stand out for me are Frank Turner Band of skulls (excellent live) Broken Bells Mos Def The Black Keys The Flaming Lips We Are Scientists The Cribs (great live band) oh an Orbital will blow the place apart well worth seeing live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 25 May 2010 Share Posted 25 May 2010 This is a shock U2 have cancelled their headline slot at Glastonbury.The band were forced to pull out from their Friday night slot on the Pyramid Stage after frontman BONO was told to rest for at least two months following emergency surgery on his back. In a statement on the Glastonbury website, Bono said he was "heartbroken" at not being able to be a part of the festival's 40th anniversary celebrations. Bono said: "We really wanted to be there to do something really special - we even wrote a song especially for the Festival. I'm heartbroken." It's been rumoured DIZZEE RASCAL or COLDPLAY will fill the void. But organiser MICHAEL EAVIS said it was too early to think about a replacement. He said: "It was obvious from our telephone conversation that U2 are hugely disappointed. "At this point, we have no comment to make about possible replacements for U2's Friday night slot. Instead, we would simply like to send Bono our very best wishes for a full and speedy recovery." The band have also been forced to postpone 16 shows on the north American leg of their U2360 Tour until 2011. Manager Paul McGuinness said: "Our biggest and I believe best tour has been interrupted and we're all devastated. For a performer who lives to be on stage, this is more than a blow. He feels robbed of the chance to do what he does best and feels like he has badly let down the band and their audience. Which is of course nonsense. "His concerns about more than a million ticket buyers whose plans have been turned upside down, we all share, but the most important thing right now is that Bono makes a full recovery." Bono has been discharged from the Ludwig Maximilians-University Hospital in Munich, Germany, after undergoing surgery but will undergo eight weeks of rehabilitation. Dr. Muller Wohlfahrt said: "We are treating Bono as we would treat any of our athletes and while the surgery has gone very well, the coming weeks are crucial for a return to full health. In the next days, he will start a light rehabilitation program, with increasing intensity over the next eight weeks. In our experience, this is the minimum time."

Joe. Posted 26 May 2010 Share Posted 26 May 2010 What's the roll eyes for? Emergency surgery on your back is a pretty decent reason if you ask me. And why is it a sarcastic shock?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScouseFox Posted 26 May 2010 Share Posted 26 May 2010 Such an oddly written article. Looking forward to see the Gorillaz spectacle on TV though when the time finally comes... I did think it was a weird way of writing it. Heard it on the radio, and this was the first article that came up when I googled it. One of the virtual members of the group, Murdoc, commented on the Glastonbury website in the band's usual sarcastic tone: "It was us or The Beatles and they split up years ago. The previous soldiers got pulled from duty last minute so it's up to my Plastic Beach naval cavalry to sail in and sort the battlefield out."

James. Posted 26 May 2010 Share Posted 26 May 2010 Gorillaz instead of U2? Very nice. That will be one hell of a show and I'll be there for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilley Posted 26 May 2010 Share Posted 26 May 2010 I wouldn't get too excited about the 'spectacle' of the Gorillaz show. They have seemed to drop the cartoon thing of late and just played as a band, including at Coachella. Seems like they are playing with a screen behind of the characters and then Damon and co. on stage, might be different for Glasto because it's the 40th anniversary, either way, still be a good show, can't wait for September to see them.
