It's supposed to be live but I have seen nothing on TV today and nothing mentioned in the tv listings even though it was announced last week all headline acts will be on BBC2.

Just had a look on the Sky planner and looks like there will be live coverage.

The Sky Planner has at 21.30 next Saturday,'Live coverage from the Pyramid stage of one of the most talked about headliners in recent years - Metallica',or words to that effect.

What number channel is BBC2 on Sky? - Wanna tune in and see Metallica lay waste to Glastonbury

That's twice you've used the term 'lay waste' when talking about Metallica at Glastonbury. What exactly does that mean?

They're playing a gig at a festival the majority of people attending won't be watching them so I don't think their appearance is going to be such a big game changer.

I'm not sure if this has been asked, but is there somewhere I might get the set list for Glastonbury, or a close approximation?

My money's on the main set finishing with NEM and ES and the last song in the encore being S&D.

lord lucan

TBH it'll be a complete greatest hits set as they're playing to such a mixed crowd. I'd expect something like:

Creep
Bellz
Fuel
Unforgiven
Sad
Master
Sanitarium
One
Fade to Black
Roam
Fight Fire With Fire
Memory Remains
Battery
NEM
Sandman
Blackened
Whiskey
Seek

I just hope they don't throw 'So What' into the set to be rebellious. That would be cringeworthy stuff.

Yeah but for millionaire men in their 50's trying to show how 'mad' they are and how they don't conform to the rules? Please no.

They haven't played that 'properly' in years,it became slow and tame. They hardly even curse onstage these days,let alone break out 'So What'.

Will their Glastonbury appearance be a By Request show or will Lars be writing the set list?

What i meant by it was, i hope Metallica prove everyone who doubted their addition to the Glastonbury lineup wrong and figuratively knock it out of the ball park

It's not a 'By Request' show so it'll be down to Lars.

There will still probably be 70000 - 80000 people there. I can almost guarantee that they will impress a lot of people and make a lot of new fans.

So????

This is one show where they shouldn't deviate from the norm. There's no point in playing rarities in which only the hardcore fans will appreciate although I have to admit it would be pretty awesome if it was Glastonbury where "Frayed" finally got it's full debut.

I think the whole 'metal band headlining Glastonbury' thing is getting overplayed. I think rap and pop artists headlining (Jay-Z and Beyonce) were much bigger deals than Metallica doing so. You could even argue that U2 with their corporate image playing was a bigger deal than Metallica. They aren't changing the world here, it's just another gig. As well as not playing So what, i also hope they don't try and copy Jay-Z by sarcastically opening with a Glastonbury friendly track.

As fo Frayed, that got it's debut in Finland a few weeks ago.

To be fair, it only seems to be the non-metal fans who are makin g a big deal of them playing Glastonbury.

I know, what I meant was it would have been class if it was Glastonbury in which it got it's full debut.

Guaranteed you will have all the VIP people up the front for Metallica, with Motorhead or Iron Maiden tshirts giving the devil salute and pouting for the camera. They'll most likely be models or hollyoaks types who think it's edgy to dress like a rocker at a festival, and won't have a clue of 95% of Metallica's set.

What's the story with all the people on the stage?

P_1

The crowd on the stage is a bit of an unorthodox prop

jack presley

Very strange intro as well with the breaking off from TEOG
