After all the speculation, who were they?

Didnt hear/read anything about it.

[BudBrain]

Same. We even got up early each day to get the paper and there was nowt in there about it.

[Swindlebiscuit]

Hot Rats, Dead Weather and the Klaxons.

Ah ok, didnt miss out then!  

[BudBrain]

So I take it the 'health & safety' act pulled out? What a bunch of spin!

I'm fairly sure that Emily was refering to Dead Weathers. This was clearly an over exaggeration but it does make Jack White the first Pyramid headliner to have played The Park (unless I'm forgetting anyone)

I thought they were alright.

Wrong. Alex Turner played last year with Last Shadow Puppets. Also this year was the second time Jack had played the stage.

Good shout. Ah well, Emily's just mad then.

Jack played on stage with Shadow Puppets there last year though, so they're equal.

Today's useless factoid: Tinariwen played the main stage on Sat and the Park with Tunng yesterday.

Glad it wasn't Muse as I was at Kasabian, Dead Weather were awesome!

[MJMilz14]

Hot Rats were ace

Didn't see the others.

Gutted it wasn't Thom Yorke: was convinced it was gonna be him!

[the_hutch_keeper]

Dead Weathers blew me away!!!!
rock and roll!!

[Bluearsedfly]

TBH, I was a bit miffed off when Hot Rats came on. Had hoped the early slot was going to be Dead Weather and the later slot a bit more "health and safety issue", Libertines, Muse (yeah right) or even The Killers as an outside bet.
EE definately over cooked the weight of the surprise guests slots, someone more cynical would say it was spin to get you up to the Park?

Thought the Hot Rats were a waste of time but enjoyed The Dead Weather, a bit.

stayed behind after shlomo at the park on saturday expecting the klaxons, but when their roadies came out as characters from the wizard of oz, I thougth (prayed) it might be the arctic mondays. Didn't they dress up like that for one of their videos?

Klaxons were great though. Got themselves a very boistrous mosh pit going (especially the nutcase in the blue shirt), which I watched from the comfort of the hill

Yeah, that would have prompted a bit of mystique as indeed TAM did dress up in said gear.

Klaxons was no surprise though, they had been confirmed days earlier.
