Even if they hadn't ruled themselves out consistently over the years, their tour dates do it for 'em.

Bruce Dickenson has basically slagged the festival off any opportunity he gets,  he is no way appearing at Glastonbury thats a non started 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Plus they're playing over G weekend

If you read the article its just according to the bookies I.e. no real. basis for it

As usual (with Glastonbury betting stories) I ask - is there any evidence whatsoever that Coral actually have or recently had an active market on this?

 

Looking at their website, I can bet on the first song Oasis play next year, or whether any of the gigs even take place - but nothing relating to Glastonbury whatsoever.

 

As usual when it comes to one of these occasional stories that quotes apparently fictional odds, I'm taking the view that someone has pulled something out of their arse to get a free advertorial in the press.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I assume Green Day have shot up due to them announcing shows in the G timeframe - just that all the smart money is on them doing download.

How many Greenday songs would Joe Camping Chair know?

 

Basket Case, American Idiot, Good Riddance, Boulevard of Broken Dreams.....?

Add Holiday and When September Ends to them and you've got a better hit rate than a few recent headliners.

Yes both v true. I guess there would be few "Oh yeah" album tracks from Dookie aswell. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Green Day would go fine.  Foo Fighters sort of booking for fans of meat and potatoes.

[Ben7amin_]

Without ever making any specific effort to listen to Greenday (not to my tastes sorry). I probably know the words to at least 10 of their songs 

[JonSnow]

I feel Green Day are very similar to Guns N Roses in the sense that even the most casual of casuals will know the big 3-4 songs and then the average attendee/music fan will know a few more on top.

 

Very low risk booking really. Would just be a case of the two parties both wanting it enough

[CaledonianGonzo]

When Billy Bob asks "Do you have the time to listen to me whine?" there's really only one answer and it's not "Sure do"

Great band. One of my favourites. 

 

If the alternative is another pop princess then give me meat and potatoes all day long.

Would suit me, don’t know if it’s a wild rumour or when it would be announced. Might have to wait until September ends😉

[Suprefan]

Kylie tour in a bit

[ghostdancer1]

Not that I think Green Day will do it, but they'd be a perfectly fine headliner. Plenty of hit songs, more than several previous headliners. Bit strange that they never did it before. Same with Red Hot Chili Peppers. Guess the IoW/R&L cash was more enticing.

You might want to Google RHCP and Glastonbury 1993 before making that statement........

Metallica out the picture.

To be fair, there's so much whining from festival goer's these days, he wouldn't get a word in edgeways! 🤣

[Badlands]

Green Day have to be part of that ever decreasing pool of headline acts that haven't played yet. 

 

I've not seen them live for over 20 years but they were always good fun.
