Feck feck feck! This is the best bad news I've ever heard.
I've been to Glasto eight (or nine, it's hard to remember) times. I've have been to the Pyramid Stage watching headliners like Radiohead, Coldplay, Paul McCartney, The Killers, The White Stripes, and God knows who else, and usually thinking about just how much U2 would demolish the place.
And then they go and announce this for one of the two years when I've not got a ticket! (And cos I was hoping to hit the States again next year.)
The atmosphere by the Pyramid Stage for the headliner at Glasto is beautifully, almost indescribably, electric. It's a genuinely magical experience, there really is something special in the air there. And it's just a few days after the summer solstice, and just a few miles down the road from Stonehenge.
U2 are going to feed off that vibe and cause ructions in that field. The atmosphere is going to be far and away better than the atmosphere at some regular U2 gigs.
Gotta gotta gotta be there!

Fuck, I forgot everyone who goes to Glasto posts comments on the Guardian site.
The guy gave it four out of five stars but tied himself in knots trying to qualify himself and avoid saying he enjoyed the concert.
I don't imagine the band will get booed and I don't really believe there's been an increase in negative opinion towards U2 in the UK over recent years.
NLOTH was met with indifference rather than negativity but their live appearances always tend to go over really well. People loved the impromtu BBC rooftop performance earlier on in the year and I remember the crowd at Live8 going crazy during their set. As somebody else said, people who go to these festivals are pretty open-minded and just want to listen to good music.
I personally can't wait, it'll be immense!!
i'm not surprised looking at the guardian comments - we had similar comments when they announced playing don valley in sheffield on the local forum.
It just looks so cool to hate U2 and to admit to liking them might tarnish your street credibility. Bet some of these posters will be the first ones to be belting out the lyrics to Beautiful Day etc.
It is amazing how many comments I hear from mates that say I don't like U2, but when a song like with or without you comes on they go 'oh I quite like this'. It's all tosh...
I am wondering what they will get paid to headline Glasto. Does anyone know what previous headliners got?
It has to be at least 1M
I'd disagree with this post on almost every point.

Maybe because U2 fans don't want to see the other rubbish they dredge up at Glastonbury?
I thought Glastonbury paid performers a very trivial fee. But that might have been some late night campfire chat whilst under the influence.
