NO COLDPLAY FOR GLASTONBURY

Coldplay singer Chris Martin has said it's unlikely that the band will be asked to return to play Glastonbury this year, having headlined in 2005.

"We might go, but you've got to know when you are welcome and when you're not," he told BBC 6Music. "I think Glastonbury is bored of us. I don't think we can even take a harmonica down there for a good 15 years."

The Who, the Arctic Monkeys and Bjork are the only acts who've been solidly confirmed for Glastonbury, which takes place from 22-24 June, although rumoured acts include everyone from Eric Clapton to Madness. No joy for U2 fans however, organiser Michael Eavis has firmly denied that they will be playing the festival.

More than 100,000 people registered to buy tickets to the festival when registration opened on Thursday.

Should Coldplay get another go at Glasto or have they outstayed their welcome? Let us know what you think.

Please please please no more Coldplay at Glastonbury, it's the best festival in the world and everyone wants to play it so give someone else a chance to headline, it's most bands dream

I think Coldplay are an epic band that really rock at Glasto having been in the audience for their 2005 gig. However a lot of my enjoyment of Glastonbury comes from watching different acts - so yes - step over Coldplay - we will have you back for our nostalgia kick in 10 years time...

I like Coldplay but I really believe having a different lineup each year is best. Maybe a band could repeat every other year or two but consecutively it is just boring. As much as I would love to see some of my favourite bands multiple times I do enjoy variety.

Greetings from Lithuania! I am going to visit Glastonbury for the first time (hopefully I will get tickets) and one of my dreams is to see Coldplay performing. I think it's not necessary for them to be headliners, as there were plenty of "bigger" bands last year. After all, there are lots of artists who play at the festival again and again...

No i think Coldplay are spot on - Glastonbury is about variety - and in the past 4 years i have had the pleasure of seeing such artists as Paul McCartney, REM, Oasis, Radiohead etc. Also i saw Coldpay at the last glasto and last year they headlined the isle of wight festival, which was an alternate for many glaso goers. Please give us the opportunity to see new and amazing bands!

lewis, i was a little dubious about seeing them over razorlight last year but you really do have to see them live if you don't fully understand how good they are. they aren't depressing, you should have seen the atmosphere last year, they put on a wicked performance and made everyone well happy! but i do agree its good thats they'd step aside cos other bands have to get their share of the fun! good luck getting tickets
