They're DJs. It's one of those smaller pre-proper-festival days a bit like Pinkpop did. 

Yeah I guessed that, just american edm crap i assume. names certainly sound like it!

Foo Fighters aren’t headlining 2 of the last 4 Glastonburys. 

don't be a debbie downer, last time they headlined was 2017? After missing 2015?

Or am I missing something

Maybe Neil’s had a word 😉

Damn, Tool at Glasto would be so good.

I'm afraid I am going to be a Debbie Downer but I think Bonnaro being so close to Glastonbury makes Foo Fighters less likely. Sure they have time to do both but they won't be in Europe before Glastonbury which reduces their chances in my estimation

2017. Two festivals ago. With nothing to show for the past few years than dull af albums. They'll be back in a few years or might pop up to do a secret set but I wouldn't hold your breath.

They did indeed.

2017, 2019, 2022, 2023 would be the sequence of festivals. So would end up being 2 of 4.

Incredibly unlikely to see them again so soon.

Least Dave can sing still. Unbelievably amazing live.

 

Anything over those GnR videos from just last year.

I could tell Dave was having a good time and crowd interaction is good and all, but there were times he'd interrupt mid song droning on about rock music that I'd have preferred him to have just cracked on. The set felt about 6 hours long with all the waffle coming out his mouth.

I thoroughly enjoyed FF for what it's worth. Had an absolute blast.

At least Dave is punctual for their own shows.

I enjoyed it but at the same time I found their whole schtick wearisome after a while. It's fun for a while but after two and half hours it wears very thin.

Instead of pissing about they could have just played Stacked Actors.

He was two years late for the last one.

Have never heard of those co-headliners? How big are they vs the undercard acts of fri-sun?

So thursday has a few of the smaller stages running music. Whats the problem?

It would, but they're far too big for other and completely out of place on the pyramid. Pipe dream sadly. 

[kingbadger]

Foos would be a good shout for a secret set. Nobody needs to see them headline again though this decade, they've done it and it's not like they're releasing anything to justify another headline slot.

Dave Grohl is extremely tight with the festival though and may want to do it. The same way he wanted to play the farm in 2021.

Yes 2017, we’ve only had 2019 and 2022 since, in what world do Glastonbury need to rebook an act so soon? Especially when there are supposedly no female artists headlining. “I know, let’s rebook a white male guitar act from two festivals ago”.

It’s not being a Debbie downer, just using a fraction of common sense. 

[JoeyT]

Foo Fighters & Friends.

[Zacko]

Festival lineups across the board really are so so average this year aren't they?

‘..And they’ve not had a hit in 30 years. Biggest festival in the world, can you believe it?’

I think so as well. There's still good stuff obviously, but for me they're in smaller acts. In terms of headliners it's a bit disappointing. It has surprised me a bit with the pandemic as I thought more big names would be about but there's a lot of typical names about.

Just after Miserably Dressed.
