But all signs suggest they are. It would be super bizarre of Download to have put out social media posts heavily implying Green Day are there for them not to be there.

charlierc Posted yesterday at 02:23 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:23 PM 20 hours ago, NorthernSoul52 said: Yeah, that would have been market saturation to the max. (Though I do wonder if Muse were considered after the kerfuffle with Foo Fighters.) Probably not, given Dave Grohl fell off that stage in Sweden very close to Glastonbury weekend and Muse would've likely had commitments (one that their fan Wiki says included Werchter, which must've been on the same weekend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted yesterday at 04:57 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:57 PM Yeah, the MCR baiting is what has a few people stung on Green Day being an absolute lock. But if they've missed out Green Day and a Linkin Park reunion, think there will be understandable disappointment in some quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the history - could it be it wasn't baiting yet they thought they would play - and something changed - Feels more likely to me? But I do not know the ins and outs. Similarly maybe KOL thought they would be playing Glastonbury when they put all those images on socials- then things broke down. Got no proof either way so just a theory.

NorthernSoul52 Posted yesterday at 07:27 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:27 PM I think there was an assumption MCR were going to tour in earnest this year, and it never materialised. One of those bands for whom it would be headline or nothing at the G anyway, and I frankly cannot see EE having any interest in them. But also, given their penchant for short shows sometimes - think their WWWY set the other day was very quick - the kind of band who would be a terrific secret slot pick. Not a chance in a month of Sundays, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCK2 Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago (edited) Maybe Green Day will headline Download, but do a Foos style slot on the Pyramid. I just can't see them headlining both festivals. Edited 11 hours ago by VCK2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got no proof either way so just a theory. The KOL case has a much simpler explanation if you ask me. Whoever is in charge of social media has a library of archive footage to pull from and they pick a Glastonbury clip. Engagement is really big, partly because of all the speculation it starts. So the social media person keeps posting more clips from Glastonbury because it's their job to increase engagement and followers. Nothing in the wording ever made it seem like they were teasing an appearance. It always felt more of a push to sell their other dates by reminding people how great their Glastonbury performance was.

That's not unthinkable to be honest, it would make use of the available gap but for an hours set meaning meaning punters still need to go to Download if they want the full thing. Something that I can imagine being a compromise on for both parties and it means Olivia doesn’t do 3 days running. It's not like when Foos did it they weren't a band chasing money either. They would have a day's break, do an hour/hrs 15 set and then only need to get to Luxembourg with a day's rest. Very doable. Something like Olivia Yungblud Green Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't until July/August that they pulled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
