Coldplay

[lieutenant_pigeon]

im a bit confused why they would be the 4th headliner and why it would need to be kept such a secret. surely someone bigger and someone who would be a complete surprise for everyone would be kept this secret; not coldplay! and also so far i havent really seen much support for them being the 4th headliner

p.s im sorry for adding to the 4th headliner threads

[crimsonking]

Dont be confused, its true.................................they are crap

[Squall Moogle]

them being the 4th headliner

[lieutenant_pigeon]

thats what im saying, there crap and noone seems to like them so why would mr eavis make it such a secret just to disappoint the majority of people when they come out on stage? surely some band that is massive and isnt expected to play would be kept such a secret.

Artistic merit aside, they are very popular.

Personally I could believe it (them being the surprise). Big sales-boosting TV coverage, but without getting slated in advance for being a repeat fixture.

...surely someone bigger

[pedmills]

Coldplay are in the top 5 most popular bands in the world (if not the very top). Coldplay are a huge act for any festival to book and if glastonbury managed to get them in a non-headlining slot would be testament to their ability to get huge headliners. Even though they are rumoured and have played many times before I think if they turn out to be the 4th headliner a lot of people who haven't been paying attention to rumours will be like 'oh my god!'.

I almost hope its coldplay just so they stay away for a few years and to shut people up who complain about the lineup being too old.

just a silly post...

No one seems to like them. They just had the biggest selling album of 2008 in the world fior gods sake. What is actually happening is there are a fair few people on here that do not like them, Who need to repeat themsleves over and over and over about it.

I do not like Bruce Sprinsteen and that is the first time I have said it on here. Not going to see Neil Young either . And last year I could not understand all the fuss about Kings of Leon.

However its a festival, there is shed loads of stages AND lots of people. What one person hates another likes and visa versa.

If coldplay are playing and you don't like them go some where else, instead of whining on about it. Its simple really.

Most people seem to believe it's coldplay. There was a poll somewhere else on this board. I would really love to see them, never have. Not really a very big fan, but they must be awesome live, from what I hear.

[benissright]

According to lastfm coldplare are THE most popular band

[Mr Ploppy]

I think Coldplay are confused too my friend, they gave up writing goods songs at album 2 and then resorted to nicking a classic ditty off Kraftwerk to use as a main riff in a song.

the opening chords of 'politik' in 2oo2 is one of my all time Glasto moments, im not a big fan but adore that tune plus my daughter was born to the rush of blood to the head of album also fix you has a lot of sentimental value to me.....aah sorry were not allowed to feel sentimental about music and songs are we?...hence the critics of Bruce and U2 as sentiment is often confused with being bombastic...dont even get me started on snow patrol....i like them even tho i know its not cool....now where is my Mogwai cd..?

[lieutenant_pigeon]

ok i didnt mean bigger, i do realise coldplay are pretty big i meant just more of a surprise and totally unexpected

bumbling yes, liar no....i believe ME has more ethics in his little finger than most. there are probably way more than 4 bands big enough to headline anyway

[norainplease]

For me, my days of being camped at one of the main stages have long gone & I prefer to flit off to catch different acts at various locations.

If Coldplay are confirmed that is brill for Glasto. Whether I'm there to see them is another matter & I won't decide that until I'm actually on Pilton Farm with program in one hand & a cold cider in the other hand.

[Chazeboy]

Couldn't agree more, it would suit me fine if they were going, but then again it would suit me fine if they didn't!!
