Elbow to headline Glastonbury

Nailed on!

Arena tour and European festival appearances end on the day the gates open at Worthy Farm. With Guy already stating that his favourite three words are "Good evening Glastonbury" I can't see how the invite won't be in the post.

Thoughts?

headline on the main stage, or the other stage though?

I would say the other stage...
As much as I love elbow and as much as I think they deserve all the recognition in the world, I'm just not sure if they (at this point) have the general mass-appeal of say: Bruce Springsteen, U2, Jay-Z...
I would love to see them headlining on the main stage and I will gladly eat my words if they do but it's all about catering for the masses, isn't it?

Neither it would seem. Announced that they are appearing at Worthy farm again but on the undercard, again..

Just finished watching our boys on the online live stream - lovely job! Nice to see there was a break in the rain for them. Well done lads, wish I could have been there! Or maybe not. I am still fairly mud-free at the moment, and I have hot food and a working toilet (with bog roll!) at my disposal. Perhaps I can't complain after all.   

Thank christ for that live stream... makes a big difference when you can 'feel' the sunset at the same time as they do.
Bang on performance tonight and watching the reprise on BBC4 now... brilliant

caught up this morning with Glasto set. Enjoyed it as always.
Had a tear in my eye for some reason - maybe i'm just hitting that Sad Captain age myself or just wishing I was there.

Pete's INXS Listen Like Thieves tour t-shirt was a major blast from the past - loved that album (showing my age now   )

Guy forgot his words 2 or 3 times !

Band sounded great and Pete's hat was the highlight of the set for me - he looked very cool.

And they played under a Glastonbury sunset
