    Inevitable, but gutted to miss out on Friday's gig.

    Got a birthday card from a friend. "You've had some rotten luck this year. So I'm taking you to the Foo Fighters gig to cheer you up!"

    I frankly should have seen it coming.

    Must be a tough year for Glastonbury, the Who is already a replacement as it is. Now they're going to have to find another, or bump Florence and the Machine to headliner.

    The who are not a replacement though and a new headliner will be announced hopefully its Blur but Foo fighters will be around for many years he will get his chance to play the pyramid.

    Seen them 3 times now . Once already at Wembley so not too devastated but gotta feel for Dave grohl and the fans that have paid the money . As for me at Glastonbury at least I can think about who else to see now maybe rudimental or if another big name steps in who I like ill stay at the pyramid stage .

    Blur favourites to replace them at 4/1. Florence is 5/1 & the Stone Roses are at 6/1.

    Taylor Swift 8/1....

    Bloody typical. I was going Friday & as bolloxbolder says, they will possibly reschedule it, to clash with a good Charlton game.
    Never mind, I'm seeing Blur on Saturday, which could have been a bit of a blur after Friday.
    There should be an announcement this Friday.

    really wanted to see Blur but the prices for the tickets was ridiculous and i saw arcade fire at Hyde Park last year they was great but the sound quality was awful.

    You can pick up a Blur ticket for £68.

    Pretty uninspiring choice for a Glastonbury headliner. Although they probably didn't have much choice!

    Florence & the machine replacing Foo Fighters is like dating Katy Perry then ending up with Susan Boyle.

    I quite like Florence & co, but headline at Glastonbury?............nah
  • Podgeman_123

    Still £68 to see Blur is pricy and Florence was going to headline now or in the future I think she will put on a performance but ye as Foo Fighters pulled out I think it was easier to ask Florence to headline than call other bands.

    When Florence was on a couple of years ago it came across as indulgent chite, and she sang out of tune. I do recognise she has a good voice, and can deliver, but all this 'hello GLASTONBURY' bonding does not cover for any lack of effort and rigor in preparation and performance. For Florence to credibly headline, the performance needs to be spot on, and it certainly wasn't last time.

    Anyone waiting for a Foo refund, for Wembley. Their site, says, should be refunded, starting Wednesday.

    Our glorious leader had by his own admission until last week "never heard of Dave Grohl"
