[ThomThomDrum]

Missed it..........anything of note mentioned?

[coma girl]

Nothing amazing, but interesting enough to listen to. LL basically seemed to read through the rumours list on here and got EE to comment on each one, she didn't give much away for the majority of them though apart from Dizzy Rascal who she said should be there and said that Green Day was a no

[ThomThomDrum]

So she said they dont have the 3rd headliner yet and it was mentioned that Dizzy Rascal is a dead cert........Just heard this repeated on 6Music News...........Not much to go on..........

Oh and the the site is frosty she said............

Exciting stuff.

[LondonTom]

woot Dizzee confirmed, now just to peasued my mate to go watch him

[grumpyhack]

Oh dear more ©rap.  But each to their own.

[Zacko]

Thought Dizzee was really good this year, the MJ tracks and Bonkers got everyone in the mood. Can't see where he'll play next year but I would guess second to last on the Other Stage?

I'm pretty damned sure (but just guesswork) that he'll be one of the Other Stage headliners.

[Mel & Claire]

At least Green Day not being there is one less clash to worry about!

Oooh now that's interesting, I think he'll definitely pull it off but for some reason I had a strange feeling he'd be under someone like Kanye West (recording a new album etc).

Something like
Dizzee
The Strokes
Chemical Brothers would be quite good.

ahhhh .... perhaps I should qualify that statement of mine a little....

I'm pretty damned sure (but just guesswork) that he'll be one of the Other Stage headliners.... that is, if this year's line-ups aren't actually too much different to normal Glasto line-ups - because of the 40th thing, there might be a far greater number of heavyweights on the bill than is normally the case.

If things are much as normal then I reckon he's the headliner - he's hugely bigger than The Strokes for example, so it's not like I'm going out on a limb thinking he'll headline. Last year was HUGE for Dizzee, and his billing will reflect that.

really?
surely they'll have to headline a stage for the light show
so i can only imagine other or east dance at a push?

i know they played the tent at V in 08

[Zacko]

Just saw this on the efest site...

"It's really interesting booking it because a lot of bands are saying, 'We really want to do it but how about we open the Pyramid Stage rather than close it?' And it's like, 'That's a good idea'. There's quite a lot of stuff going around, so that's exciting."

Sounds very exciting
