Who does everyone think will be the star of the show, apart from the obvious, a band who are on the up and will take everyone by storm?

Good question. Great things were expected of Fleet Foxes last yeaar but it never really came to anything. I guess Vampire Weekend have got quite a big slot on the pyramid before Dizzee and U2, but not sure they could be described as 'on the up' anymore.

Maybe Mumford and Sons? Although I still think they would have been better suited to The Park (weren't they originally rumoured to be playing up there?), than the John Peel. I never enjoy bands in the John Peel during the day.

The Avett Brothers.

Beardyman, perfect way to start the festival on the thursday, when i first saw him i had no idea what to expect and its the only time ive ever been opend mouthed in pure awe of something. The man is pure genius.

When will jamie t get on the other stage, he played really intense, brilliant gigs on JP stage, 2007 and 2008

I heard the guy who posts duplicate threads is the one to look out for  

[kaisherz]

I think jamie t is far more sutied to a mental JP tent crowd. think it'd just lack something outside.

yeah Mumfords for my bet

the xx headlining the park
phoenix on the other stage in the sun

I'd go for LCD, The National or Mumfords.

I think George Clinton will be pretty spectacular also.

It's a brilliantly diverse lineup this year.

I am gutted that LCD Soundsystem are clashing with Faithless. I think they will put on a great show but I just can't miss Faithless at sunset on the Pyramid.

The XX and Foals combination in the JP should be great.

The National.

Must confess hardly listened to the XX. Think I gave their album one listen on my pod but then forgot about them. I'll be sure to listen to em properly before the big week.

I was worried about Faithless and LCD but after seeing LCD in Manchester I just know they will be brilliant plus it looks like it will be LCD's last tour where as I can see an opportunity to see Faithless coming up again albeit maybe not in Glasto.

I never knew he was playing at Glasto! Makes me even more jealous that I'm not going :'(

The XX album is a real grower. I'm not sure they are headline material as at the Park stage but they shoul dbe great in the JP. Lovely vocals and haunting tunes.

The LCD/Faithless is a real dilemma. I kept saying that Faithless will always be around but the last time I saw them was T in the Park in 2004!
Maybe, just maybe, if the mood takes me and the album really gets me giddy, then I'll sway to LCD but I doubt it

[MEGABOWL]

I suspect it could be The National. Or Hot Chip could break through to being truly big

[Paadzer]

Imogen Heap

[0rbita1]

Think Delphic have a chance of riding the electro/synth pop revival that's happening atm - playing twice over the weekend and could do something methinks.

Would love to see Hybrid and Sub Focus step up to that next level they deserve too - if Pendulum managed it then they both certainly can.

I reckon Fanfarlo will impress this year, our very own Arcade Fire.  I can't wait to see them.

Oh and I'm a newbie, hello!!!!!
