It was actually Sonisphere. The two gaps though unless the early one is filled in with more to come says both are open with them being announced for Glastonbury last. I fully believe they are playing Download though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they're not doing Download, but Live Nation are scum and will do anything to sell tickets Maybe so - but there's been far more similar posts that have infact been a clue. Especially when as blatant as this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much we can take that as being indicative of the future though. There's very few acts that have ever headlined Download that would even be considered suitable to top the Pyramid Stage, so there's much less opportunity for there to be an overlap. Metallica, GnR, AC/DC, Muse, maybe MCR or Iron Maiden would be about the entire list. My gut feeling is that Glastonbury haven't got Green Day this year, as I think Download will have paid for some form of exclusivity - but if the Download announcement doesn't mention that, would have to think they're a possibility.

My gut feeling on overall reflection is you're right as for them to play it puts Olivia who we know is playing on a day that we pretty much know she wouldn't be. The only way around it would be to do 3 dates in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolee Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Until that gap has been filled, Download announce them on an exclusive or more names come into play they’ve got to be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does. I can imagine it being a bit of a come down anticlimax to have Green Day night 1 and then finish with ST and Korn (who should really be Friday) but I guess it depends in availability.

NorthernSoul52 Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Absolutely, and they've been chasing Green Day for so long that it would be a coup to just finally get them over the line. But yeah. Bit of a comedown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah. Bit of a comedown. But if it was the choice between Green Day Friday and booking Slipknot again then I'm going to trust the one's that say it's on. To be honest in this scenario of them doing both as a random never before, it would make sense to send out a hint for ticket sales. I certainly don't think them having 4 days free before a gap between 3 days of Oslo Glastonbury Luxembourg is any less likely than flying from Download to Italy for a gig two days later. Worth pointing out that BBC played Luxembourg just a day separate to Glastonbury so there is nothing actually stopping Green Day playing the Sunday Edited 21 hours ago by northernangel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's no exclusivity i think i'd be looking towards Glasgow rather than Glasto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download's announcement is coming in mid-November, so I guess we'll check in then. They do seem like the festival that would shout about it if it was a UK exclusive for 2025 imo, or at least a "festival exclusive" like Isle of Wight did for Green Day's spot there in and amid a 4 date stadium tour. Muse did play Download and Glastonbury on the same tour cycle for Drones, but Download 2015 and Glastonbury 2016 so not quite the same as doing both in the same year. Would've been overkill to do both in the same month imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Yeah, that would have been market saturation to the max. (Though I do wonder if Muse were considered after the kerfuffle with Foo Fighters.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not someone I like enough to pay a ton for at their own gig but would 100% be there if they topped the Pyramid. My thoughts exactly! O-Rod / Greenday / Fred is not a bad little balance at all IMO Thumbs up from me for that trio 👍🏼 As much as I understand the mixed feelings around Eminem. I do think it will be a shame if Glasto miss out on such a monumental artist. Can't see it happening though.

Ben7amin_ Posted 19 minutes ago Report Share Posted 19 minutes ago I would like to see Greenday at a festival. But im on nearly 0 confidence they will play G - I just can not see Download sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted 2 minutes ago Report Share Posted 2 minutes ago If Green Day aren't at Download, then the cat is back in the game. But all signs suggest they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
