Thank the maker it wasn't that twat from oldplay.

That's a good way to round the weekend off!

Not meaning to put Kylie down in any way, but in terms of music they are streets apart.

quality. the killers kick ass.

im not a killers fan but anything is better than kylie!

something that isnt shit Rich????

unbelievable :wink:

I'd have the Killers down as a League 1 outfit......Kylie definitely Prem.

  They've got a couple of decent songs but that's about it. :boring:

the premiership of pop rubbish?

The Killers are good but it's a year or two too early to have them as head liners isn't?  Bit like the Darkness last year at Reading, when a band only have one mainstream album to play to the crowds I don't think that's what headlining's all about.  Foo's at Reading will be quality head liners!!!

thats a fair point, but looking at the bill they seem the only ones I can think of who would have the universal appeal to headline. and its a bit of a last minute job

foos at reading will be great Jan. i like the new stuff a lot. ive heard a few of the acoustic tracks and i think they are pretty good. not going to reading though wish i was   :(

True, I suppose it is too late to get a world famous, legendary band to fill Kylie's gap.

Last time Foo's were over here my mate won some tickets on the Chris Moyles show, to go to the radio 1 secret gig, only 200 people in the joint.  Foo's played a 90 minutes set that was pure musical heaven.  They are superb, can't wait for the new double album to come out.  I'm not going to Reading either, but I'm keeping my eye out for any warm up gigs by the Foo's.

I love how they refer to Kylie in that as simply - Minogue. 8)

the killers are fucking awesome

the killers are alright, but their lead singer is a mouthy little cunt.

i'd prefer bloc party up there.

killers are noway good/big enough to headline glasto, it's taking the piss out of the status of glastonbury....... rolling stones woulda been a perfect send off!

   :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

have you got the album reg or are you just going on a couple of songs you heard on the radio or on the free guardian cd?

either way he's right.

okay fucking awesome was exaggerating, but they're still classy

The Killers are alright but it's a litle early in their career to headline such an illustrious festival as Glastonbury, they're not exactly anthemic either...

Coldplay would undoubtedly have been better headliners, regardless of how much people dislike them. Looking at the lineup there's quite a few bands who would have been far better headliners, i.e. White Stripes, New Order even Brian Wilson!

I didn't realise how good the lineup is, fucking hell, Skinnyman's playing 8)

I dunno I'd say there were quite anthemic. Stuff like Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me and Jenny was a friend of mine'll get a huge reaction, only problem is one album's not much material but I expect they've got some new stuff. Reckon they might be a highlight.

Good point but it's not as if they have a huge back catalogue of anthemic tunes to plug from, they'll play the whole album.

that said, I remember when Coldplay played Glastonbury after they released their debut and Yellow went down fantastically.

and taskforce, my personal highlight probably.

 :beers:

 One of my kids has it....there are a couple of good tunes, but you really need more than that to be considered awesome.

really? I missed that, quality! Roots Manuva, Skinnyman and Task Force. Lovely stuff.

skitz
rodney p
skinnyman
taskforce
dj format & mc abdominal
foreign beggars
too many dj's

not bad for hip-hop. plus there's pitman.

I missed DJ Format as well, Abdominal is ace 8)

roots manuva on the jazz stage will be one of the highlights, DJ format should be proper good, and yeah you're right 2 many DJ's is gonna be mega

Whatevers been said, I'm pretty sure Killers won't headline sun night. I like them but they don't have enough quality songs to fill the couple of hours..... Pretty sure somone must have said this allready, but I'm wasted and I'm off to buy a kebab

I'm really disappointed that they are closing the Festival.  They have been milking the same 10-12 songs since last March and are getting a bit tiresome.  I'll definitely be watching Mr Brown on the Other Stage, hoping for a set filled with Stone Roses classics.

2 many DJs will be cool, anybody like their alter ego Soulwax?

Same guys but playing in a band rather than DJing.

am i the only person alive that would rather ram a red-hot poker down their japs-eye than watch the killers play?
