Linkin Park?

[tbywarren]

Announcing a stadium tour on Thursday (most likely around June/July) and they’re missing from the Download lineup despite being rumoured for multiple festivals around Europe at a similar time.

 

Anyone recon they’re in for a chance? Not sure where they’d play if they got booked and even if they got booked however.

[northernangel]

No....in a word 

[Someoni]

Saw them many many moons ago, Chesters voice was something else!

No chance of headlining the Pyramid. Possibly Other, although if they’re (bizarrely) a stadium band now, they may consider it beneath them. Not really the sort of act that the Eavii routinely book

[Skip997]

Fine with me, but only if they bring Jay Z with them

and somehow you think playing Wembley means they can do Glasto.

 

 

Funny how any festival thats worth a damn is getting these questions on LP even though theyre not being booked for anything multi genre. Almost as if the scientologists want to manifest this. 🤔

Is Rock Werchter not multi genre?

My word this would be exceptional. Where do I send the petition?

Some did use to go for both tbf - Muse did both Glastonbury and Wembley in 2010, while Foo Fighters were meant to be doing both in 2015 before Dave Grohl's Swedish stage stumble. I'm not sure if LP were on Glastonbury's radar necessarily though.

While I do not think they is any chance they will be at Glastonbury this year -  I think they should be and has headliner.

 

I think the criteria for a headliner should always be can they pull a big enough crowd and can they entertain that crowd.  I think they would easily pull an Arctic Monkeys size crowd, possibly bigger.  They are mega popular I think the reunion has shown that. 

 

I think if this reunion goes as well as it looks like it is the festival would do well to get them.  Reality is they probably would take Leeds& Reading or DL money ahead of Glasto

They're the sort of nostalgic act from the era that Glastonbury are kinda leaning towards now, so why not? I probably wouldn't see them though.

[glimmers_of_hope]

I think it's headliner or nothing for LP.

They are big enough to do it and I think they would be great live if you are into that sort of thing. 

It's no stranger than metallica doing it. 

Not this year with Wembley happening. 

I think it will always be unlikely because Download/R&L is a better fit, but you couldn't ever write it off.

How are Linkin Park similar to any other 'nostalgia act' that has been booked recently?

[Justcalledtosay]

Much rather Linkin Park than The 1975

Playing Saturday of the Festival

[rhysieg]

Looking at the tour poster they posted on twitter/x. It doesn't appear that they do any back to back nights at any point. Every date appears to have a gap as far as I can see (unless there are festival dates in between that aren't on the poster).

 

Therefore if they play London on Saturday. Then a glasto Friday/Sunday is surely unlikely?...

Not ruled out in theory. In practice as good as ruled out. In the end, it doesn't even matter, as they don't seem to be the type of act the festival would book.

I feel they have a better chance of doing in now than ever before, especially with Emily really pushing for more female fronted headliners 🤷‍♀️ they have also had lots of other rock/metal bands so I see no reason LP couldn't be considered especially when there are so few bands these days that have the potential to draw a huge crowd other than ones they get to play every other year (Coldplay, foo fighters. Muse) snore!

To be fair it shouldn't be, it might have needed to changed but the name is kinda in the festival quite loud and clear and really consist of those elements on a heavy majority, which I would say it generally has.

 

I don't see a chance that Glastonbury book them mind. If anything they would turn up on the Sunday before going to Germany but they don't need to.

That's enough lying from you!!! The festival is absolutely somewhere they belong, especially as Other Stage headliners imo. I think there's a faint hope, and I've not given up!

[Lubic]

Gutted about the Glastonbury clash. Might have to try see them in another country. Think Deftones are playing London that day too which is annoying

[tbywarren]

I’m so mad about the clash with Glasto. JPEGMAFIA opening for them is a dream lineup for me so I’m just gonna be delusional and hope the GSH on their tour dates means they’ll appear somehow.

[dotdash79]

Only UK headline show. 
 

 

don’t think they will play but an interesting choice of words.

I'd love it if they did Glasto and be there with my bells on and hands held high. I'd be one step closer to ticking everyone on my to-see list. But they are doing stadiums all across the world, they're headliner or bust and sadly not the kind of headliner I see the festival booking. And even if you leave out all the rest, it would require breaking the habit of not doing shows on consecutive days.

Still doubt it but not sure where else they’d play at not headline outside of Glasto
