The churnups

I’m not sure why people thing the Foos would pull a bigger crowd than Pulp, I think it would be the other way around (although they would both be massive)

Foos are the bigger band, easily.

Which begs the bigger question - how many will exit the field promptly and leave Royal Blood to get royally ticked off again?

Haha can just picture them peaking from behind the curtains side of stage absolutely seething as the ginormous crowd disperses before their set.

Maybe but they are not on a 10 year break, they have played recently and the demographic of Glasto is made for Pulp.I’ve seen the Foos at Glastonbury but not Pulp and I know this is no way to judge but all 10 of our group would rather see Pulp (and I’m far more likely to listen to the Foos)

Middle-finger flips at the ready!

Would not necessarily be my personal picks, but based on their shows over the last week, you might get:

1 All My Life
2 Rescued
3 Walk
4 Times Like These
5 Under You
6 The Pretender
7 Learn to Fly
8 The Sky is a Neighborhood
9 My Hero
10 Monkey Wrench
11 Best of You
12 Everlong

As a man who thinks Dave Grohl seems like a lovely fellow but has never been quite blown away by a Foo Fighters show, think seventy-five minutes might be the perfect ratio to really blow the socks off.

Foos are one of the biggest bands in the world. Even without the Taylor Hawkins factor there are very few acts on the planet capable of pulling a bigger crowd and Pulp ain’t one of them. Baffled. 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

As much as I dislike it, it appears Churn is gonna be Foos now, or some form of them. I still don't get why GFL would have them on as a quasi-fifth headliner now (if Lizzo is the 4th)... 

Pulp on the Park vs Lizzo as the TBA? That'd split the crowd a lot.

[charlierc]

Interesting - when I saw this first I was certain in thinking "That's gotta be Pulp" but the longer this has gone on, browsing this thread and seeing Twitter (not least Nick Banks), that's absolutely undermind such thoughts.

At least if it's only an hour fifteen, he wouldn't be able to yap on as much as he did in 2017, when every song was prefixed with a bloody monologue about the origins of it, how much he loves the fest, blah blah blah.

If they play the hits with very little chatter, I could get on board.

The Sky is a Neighbourhood sticks out like a sore thumb there. Swap that out (preferably for ‘For All The Cows’ which I’m still miffed wasn’t played in 2017) and you’re looking at one of the tightest set lists imaginable. Can already see ‘Walk’ being an all-timer Glastonbury moment in the circumstances.

Was buzzing for Pulp. 

Will be gutted if it turns out to be Dave blooming Grohl. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, I immediately assumed Pulp, then Foo Fighters, then Pulp again when I realised it was a play-on-words, then Foo Fighters when Nick Banks popped up. (My aunt said Arctic Monkeys, which shows how up with the current pulse of Glastonbury headliners she is. Next thing you know, she'll be claiming Roxette.)

[wro_lap]

Who else is making the dash from CRJ to get down the front regardless of who it is?

[squirrelarmy]

Have to wonder why whoever this act is they have decided to play under a pseudonym. 
 

Sometimes a big bands play as a TBA as they’ve either got a tour that they are trying to sell tickets for or another festival has them as an exclusive. 
 

Do either Pulp or Foos fit the above criteria?

No way he doesn’t have several speeches about Taylor and how much they loved the festival etc. Tbh I think he talks so much/extends the instrumentals of each song because his voice is pretty f**ked these days and he struggles to yell as continuously as he once did.

Same. Maybe TBA on the Park?

I've got the bootleg up on YouTube. Nineteen songs at a bladder-crunching 131 minutes or so. For context, Setlist FM has their shows this year running to twenty songs at two hours. There's definitely less talking for the moment.

I would if I was there. Love me some CRJ.

Nice work! Maybe someone passed on the memo.

12 is ambitious. Maybe 8 with all the nonsense extending of songs. 

Or maybe it'll be the best modern day Foos set with them playing the songs in a normal way

Eh, it's not quite the one, is it? But there's a few others in there I would happily punt too. Not sure you honestly need more than one new song if you've only got a dozen to play with.

I'm still hoping that Dave is just turning up to be special guests for GnR. At least that way with half a voice each, it'll still sound somewhat decent? Lol.

I mean, that's the thing right? It's a massive international band, but somehow they're going to play a reduced setlist? What's the point of that? If they really didn't give a f**k about taking a lesser slot, why not just headline Other or agree to play as sub?

[NorthernSoul52]

I am wondering if Guns N' Roses will dig out a big guest. They're no stranger to having one.

At the end he's talking for like 3 minutes 20 seconds, just making jokes, messing around, and talking about working at Shakey's Pizza between the Queen cover and Everlong. That's like a full song on its own. Talk about breaking momentum.
