in the very unlikely event of this ever happening I’d get a kilt made up in this to wear on the field😉😊

Love whimsy

Come Undone by Robbie is a great tune and this is a hill I’m happy to die on.

It’s not only Robbie, the brainwashing extends to dozens of bands and artists

Sadly I’m not surprised

me neither - just have to look at likes here to want to vomit.

Peace and goodwill to all .. even those with differing musical tastes

In theory, yeah, they could, but I feel like it would be a surprise to see them add Glastonbury at this point having already broken cover with doing Wembley, Manchester, Glasgow and the IOW festival exclusive.

I do think they have enough songs to have made a go of it, or even do an hour "Churn-Ups" style set, but equally, I'm struggling to see it happening now.

Yeah, I don't hold much hope but while hope remains I'll cling onto it.

The thing is No Doubt we’re actually good, unlike any of the rest

No surprise really as No Doubt weren’t “Pop Punk”, whatever the f**k that is.

Ash and Deftones > No Doubt. 

No doubt.

1) Incorrect

2) Incorrect, No Doubt were decent enough

some musical tastes are strange and unusual torture and that's against human rights.

It’s the season of peace on earth and goodwill to all people, so just for one day can all join me in my long standing appreciation of prog rock😉😊

Hope she gives you the full King Crimson followed by a seasonal Greg Lake. Happy Christmas 😉

Like most genres (indie landfill excepted) there is good prog rock.

As is No Regrets, Karma Killer, Feel, Phoenix from the Flame. The man's got some absolute tunes.

Who have they got round in the past? Genuine question. 

Foo Fighters were a European festival exclusive for Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park last year.   The Churnups however, were not!

King Crimson's 70's output is excellent as well as ITCOTCK and Discipline. Yes had a great run between the Yes album and Relayer.

No Doubt, Rocket From The Crypt, Mighty Mighty Bosstones have also all played. I saw the Deftones back in 98 too, not quite pop punk not not a 1000 miles away from Green Day's music. Also the likes of A, Kenickie, Feeder and Ash for a more UK based version of pop punk.

Ska is a genre thats well received cause everyone would go mental over having The Specials or Madness on the bill. but No Doubt or the Bosstones are like a no no.

A tangent from the Dua Lipa thread, on the basis that Houdini hasn't quite been the massively successful banger she must have been hoping for... has there ever been a time Glasto booked a headliner on the back of a successful album and subsequent momentum, only to have them stumble a bit post-signing but pre-performing?

I'm not suggesting Dua is in that place, I just started wondering whether that has ever happened.

i mean Arctics this year almost ended up cancelling cause of Alex losing his voice. Yeah, they had their big stadium tour and everything but its not like it was a banger of a set overall anyway cause it was heavy on the new release and they played their older material a different way to fit the vibe.

U2? Bono got injured and the performance was pushed a year and then they ended up playing in a monsoon? They had to fly in between north american tour dates to even do the gig and such.

The mystery of why good bands are welcomed but bad bands aren’t is a conundrum that sadly will never be resolved.

No Doubt seem to be somewhat underrated on here, would be preferable to Madness by a “country mile” and about equal to a Terry Hall Specials.

The chances of any of those playing is pretty slim.

You've just been brainwashed though. That's it. There's been no dickhead elitism on show here at all.
