...so now Glasto needs a Saturday night headline act.

Anyone know of any decent bands who might be in the area round, say, 26 June that may be able to step in? ;)

    U2 were due to play Friday night at Glastonbury when PJ have the small matter of 45,000 rabid fans at Hyde Park to entertain! ;)

    The only way it could happen would be if Muse agreed to move their headline slot to Friday thus allowing PJ to play on Saturday - which is to be fair very unlikely.

    Speaking as someone who is going to Glastonbury it's a massive shame for all those U2 fans that were looking forward to seeing them but can't say that I am that bothered.

    Oh and if Pearl Jam by some miracle DID play on Saturday it would be the most amazing and beautiful thing.... :D

    Not really a fan of Bono, but he and Ed have both kept themselves in very good shape as the years have passed. However, Sting is 58 and looks younger than both of them. Sting can basically play live at a high energy level till he's 80. :lol:

    that's EXACTLY what i was thinking.
    yes, because we may not agree with someone (who, by the way, does a hell of a lot more for anyone than i'm sure most people do in their lives) we wish they were hurt. :roll: what the fuck is wrong with you people? the man had emergency back surgery, can you be a little bit civil for once!?

    I wonder how someone came on here and spoke ill or joked about EV if he had an injury, how would we take that? Is this more of a dislike of Bono or of the music the band makes? He does do quite a bit of positive work around the world for those less fortunate than many of us.

    Am I wrong in saying that?

    When I said the "head up his own ass" comment to a friend, he instantly replied by singing "And he still hasn't found what he's looking for!"
