    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    PJ aren't a big enough global band to headloine Glastonbury's 40th anniversary year. My bet would be U2 to close the weekend with PJ in the Special Guest slot...

    give over

    they have mass appeal

    u2 will play Saturday IMO

    Pj will not play second fiddle at glasto. Why the fuck would they?

    There's plenty of other drivel like keane franz Ferdinand kaiser chiefs who were made for that!!!!

    Pearl Jam has no less of a global presence than Blur, which played the Sunday this year at Glasto. Their politics would make them an ideal choice to play the farm.

    Also, stop arguing about U2's date. It was announced they will play Friday.

    Yes, U2 is announced to play Friday.

    Usually the biggest band will the Saturday night slot, not the Sunday (this year, supposedly the Rolling Stones).

    Pearl Jam is the perfectly capable of playing the Sunday night slow - they're incredibly popular in England, have never played, and fit right along side the other bands speculated and confirmed.

    Rumours are that it's Muse, but those are just rumours. It makes perfect sense for them to play Glastonbury next year - they've never played and you never know when Pearl Jam will be in Europe to play the biggest festival in the world again.

    If anything, the least big band will play the last night (Sunday) - Blur last year, so this just makes it even more likely.

    I was just voicing an opinion. Seeing as nobody on here has any facts about Glastonbury, or if they're even going to be playing there, isn't that what everybody is doing? It's all just guesswork.

    And as for U2, again it was just a guess. I didn't know they were confirmed for the Friday because I don't give a crap about anything they do so I don't pay attention to them. Just because PJ are my favourite band it doesn't mean that I automatically think they are the biggest band in the world or that they would be chosen to headline a massive festival like Glastonbury.

    Personally I feel that Glastonbury is overrated anyway so I'd be happy if PJ weren't playing there. Again, just an opinion.

    I'd love to see PJ at Glastonbury, but I very much doubt it's going to happen this year. The headliners are U2 on the Friday with very strong rumours of The Strolling Bones (Saturday( and Muse (Sunday) being the others. Far too much hassle to play Glasto on the Saturday and rush to get their gear onto the night ferry to Holland. Maybe on their European Summer Tour in 2011!
    The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits
