I got ticket again too. Not sure about U2 as not listened to any of their stuff since How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. They do have some wicked tracks, will be seeing what the live sets they are paying in the US are like before deciding whether to see them or not. Don't like U2? Then don't laugh at people going to Glastonbury as there will be loads of other good things on when they are playing.

Really looking forward to it already

U2 are past it and bono's head is so far up his own hole it hasn't been seen since 1988

FTFY

I don't think the bands I like are big enough to warrant a headline slot apart from maybe 'The Flaming Lips'?

Bono claps his hand every three seconds: "Every time I clap my hands a child in Africa dies"

Wag in crowd: "Stop clapping then, you heartless bastard"

I wasn't; in fact I'd love to go myself, its just I'd be anywhere other than the stage they're playing.

<sigh> the Glastonbury sell-out is now complete.

EO:

I bet a weeks money that the piano player was pushing up the daisy's some 20+ years ago.

From memory it was the drummer (a Mike Harding look-a-like) who sang the only three words of that great song...................

I last went in the early 90s. It's just corporate crap nowadays. You'll get the X-Factor winners headlining the Pyramid Stage next.

Me? I'm off to this in a couple of weeks time. A much more civilised way to spend time at a festival - including a chalet and personal toilets.

What for the 2 minutes you get to see him actually play before he flounces off because someone's done a burger fart in the crowd/insert you own minor slight to his ego here.
