Love em to bits.  

When they played Leeds back in 2001 I have never known anticpation like it, not many bands
get booted from small stage to main stage hours before they are on !

They are playing IOW and some Festival up in Scotland , yet Julian is  SR for Glasto.

The last time they toured Europe in the summer Glasto was having a year off so they missed em
so surely this year would be the time to grab em.

So do we think Glasto will prob get The Strokes , but it ain't announced yet or we will have to make
do with a solo Julian appearence ?

AAAAAAAAAH  !!

[mike99]

maybe but my thinking is not to be annouced and to be a speacial guest on park stage?

[Alpha Kenny 1]

Some festival up in Scotland?


You disappoint.

The Strokes are, apparently, only playing two festivals - and they've already been announced.

Lauren Laverne said on 6 music that on leaving the studio after an interview Julian Casablancas
said to listen out as they would be playing 1 other festival, that was after the announcements on IOW
and Rockness

Fingers crossed for Glastobury. I'd love to see the Strokes there. If there's some truth in the Julian Casablancas rumour then it wouldn't be too difficult to get a Strokes set organised over the same weekend..

Not getting my hopes up though - They'll probably get booked for Reading or V festival instead..

[Joshuwarr]

My betting is that we will be seeing a very greedy summer from V. They will be headling the second stage at V is my guess.

They headlined V's main stage in 04, and I don't see how their popularity has dwindled any since then.  I'd say if they play V again it'd be to headline main stage.  Afterall, V isn't exactly known for it's varied imagination; they seem to just have a rotating list of the same bands again and again.  It'll probably be some dance-y act on 2nd stage, something like Massive Attack.

I disagree, i think their popularity has definately dwindled since 2004

[glasto_mongrel_2008]

This would knock Muse off as my must see of the festival

Massive Attack  - Highlight of 2008 , beat the s**t out of Jay Z

[rexclark]

I think it'll just be Casablancas at Glasto.

[Redwinevino]

I really really really hope they will be there

I'm sorry.   I just picked any old act that played a few years ago.  MA have played V twice so they brought it on themselves.

i said it in the other strokes thread and i'll repeat it here, a friend of mine spoke with julian casablancas last december and asked him if the strokes would be playing glastonbury to which he just grinned and said "you know i can't say!" make of that what you will.

we hear every year that so and so will only be playign so many festivals or so and so is exclusive to a certain festival only for it to turn out to be untrue.

It does seem strange.

If a band are inactive , and one of the group wants to do some solo stuff fine , but I am finding it
hard to comprehend that Julian C would appear as a solo artist at G when he has obviously got
commitments with his band.

When Dave G from Depeche Mode played Glasto the other year no one expected the rest of the
band to turn up and play , but i feel this may be the case with Julian Casablancas , the Glasto
rumour mill would be in overdrive

i think there were rumours of the strokes playing before casablancas making a solo apperance became a rumour that's why.

and just because he has commitments with the band that doesn't mean he can't nip off and do his own thing here and there.
