The churnups

[RatingsAndMoney]

Foo Fighters 3rd down. What an absolute coup. 

[dingbat2]

I think the Foos are winding us up, I think they are fully aware of all the interest/intrigue about who the churnups are and are just having a laugh. I cant see any reason why they would make it so obvious for a start. Keep it a secret and they probably have one of the biggest crowds all weekend, whether it be Blur, Pulp or Foos fans there waiting to see who the big secret is. If people know its the Foos I think the crowd will be smaller than if was a genuine secret set. The excitement would be amazing if its kept quiet until the day it happens. If they have just announced themselves then what was the point, the excitement of a secret set has gone (albeit its still the Foos playing). I just cant think why they would announce themselves, especially as unsubtley as that message is, not exactly cryptic is it, they have nothing to gain from announcing it now

I just think they are joining in and stringing us along. If anything, I think that note makes it less likely that its the Foos, there you go reverse logic, just too obvious and unsubtle, th Foos are better than that! I wont be surprised if there will be similar unsubtle messages from other big bands between now and then...

IMO there's something of an anticlimax that it ended up being the foo fighters as they are boring

To you, yes. It’s not boring to a lot of other people though, which is far more important.

I doubt there would be such an emotional tone if it were a wind up.

I agree - why would Nick Banks also be teasing with his tweets? They al in it together IMO

Maybe Lewis Capaldi is close to pulling out and FFs are stepping in? 

[uscore]

fair play, great coup for the festival to have FF's third down on the bill!   Hopefully this means they won't be headlining next year, as that would be Chris Martin levels of excessive.

[Fred Zepplin]

Think they will change the line up to FF now?

[Dreamingofsunnydays]

Ok…I stand corrected, was convinced it would be Pulp.

 

Foo Fighters are my second favourite Rock band (after Queen)…looks like I’m watching them for the fourth time!

[downtherabbithole]

The most important thing is that Royal Blood will be royally p*ssed off after the mass exodus in between Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys. Savage for them

Huge silver lining imo

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

Such a disappointment it’s Foos and not Pulp

[Nice hymer]

Wasn't this Motorhead's / Lemmy's spot in 2015? Nice coincidence if so...

[1986]

With nothing to really base it on I’d be very surprised if Pulp aren’t in one of the other slots. 

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Foos it is then! Not sure if some of these comments are serious but no way Foos are going to wind up their own fans and pretend they are playing if they are not. Would be a really odd thing to do. Presumably they want a huge crowd all there for them which is why they’ve dropped a huge hint, to avoid turning up to some disappointed Pulp fans all leaving the field. 
 

Will be there for it. Hoping Pulp show up too, but not sure where they fit now.

So many people ignoring QOTSA have a gig in Cardiff on the 23rd.

QOTSA aren't afraid of stupid stuff like that. Back in 2017 they played Reading & Leeds on the same day. It's not impossible that Josh pulls the same trick to get to Cardiff in time. Not hugely likely, but not impossible.

I could see a mini Taylor Hawkins tribute rather than the Foos - leaves them more clear to come back and headline in the next couple of years.

Absolutely chuffed. Foos are one of my favourites and I’ve been fortunate enough to attend a couple of their other secret shows in the past (House of Vans / Islington Assembly Hall on consecutive nights in 2014). Taylor Tribute was a truly special occasion - as was Glasto in 2017 - and this slot could easily go down in the same bracket. Shame it couldn’t be kept completely secret for a little while longer but at least we can all plan accordingly now. 

Regardless of one’s thoughts on the band, to get a genuine headline act to play a lower slot is just an incredible coup, really. Only Glastonbury, eh? 

Edited June 6, 2023 by JA_Watts

[The Poo Biters]

The idea that Dave is becoming Chris Martin is laughable, they are playing third down, some bands an acts play non headline slots at Glastonbury pretty much every year. If you don’t like it don’t go, The headliners are still unaffected by the booking.

I bet some of the same complaints he’s become Chris Martin are unironically coming from people that trot along to Mik Artists and Beans on Bloody Toast each year. 

[scaryclaireyfairy]

Singing that bloody Frozen song and rocking myself back and forth.

Warmed only by wondering what Royal Blood's excuse will be this time.

[FloorFiller]

That set is gonna be insane. Like, Pulp obviously would’ve been ace and I know a lot of people are disappointed it’s not them, but Foos, in the middle of the day, on the Pyramid?! Crowd is gonna be ginormous and having an absolute rager. Feel sorry for the acts on across the rest of the site.
