'fun' Thursday act?

[slats]

Just wondering if there's been any noise about if there is going to be an 'off the wall' act on the Thursday again this year.....

I know we had East 17 and Vanilla Ice (did he play in the end?)

Cant remember any more off the top of my head but I'm sure there has been a few more as well

[Zoo Music Girl]

I've been wondering this. Really enjoyed East 17 in a nostalgia way! Does Boy George count? He was awesome too. I think they normally announce this much later though.

[slats]

Boy George, That's who I was thinking of..

Not sure who to hope for ............. As long as its nobody from the 'big reunion' tour

(although embarrassingly I do know half the words to Steps 5-6-7-8.......... Its because my sister was a fan when I was little...... honest!)

East 17 were great; bit surreal at the end when news of MJ's death started to circulate. I will forever blame East 17 for Michael Jackson's death

Boy George was indeed marvellous in 2010

Deacon Blue? Just sort of confirmed themselves for Glasto

I would still love to have an evening of tribute acts though, Bjorn Again, Bootleg Beatles and Aussie Floyd would be an amazing start to the festival. And put them all on the Pyramid stage Thursday. It would be great. And they would get a massive crowd

[slats]

Would love Aussie Floyd, would defiantly need to be a night gig though for full effect

Not really all that well up on Deacon Blue..... will investigate

If people enjoyed East 17 then surely this year they need to book FIVE !

Patti Smith? or is she too big? she's in the UK for the whole of June!

Oh my god...I just might have to be there for that. Not seen them since some local thing in Southampton at the tale end of the 90s.

Adam Ant would be great but probably a bit too big.

Bananarama?

I always associate East 17 with Jacko's death now! Boy George again (he's doing some dates) or Adam Ant both would be good.

Bjorn Again on Pyramid were great whenever that was! It was pissing down and cheered me right up.

[pie_and_a_pint]

Ah, Bjorn Again were excellent on a rainy Friday morning! There was much disco-ing despite it being somewhat mushy underfoot!

[Kyelo]

Get those Mexican, Dorito advert dudes...crowd would lap up their covers!

[Guitargeek]

Fucking hell. Patti Smith as a fun act? You are a twat or a troll. Or both.

[liz lemon]

Erasure!

[Mud Dweller]

Wasnt it Keisha in 2011?

May I suggest The Village People; c'mon, would be a great hour's entertainment

[Festival Liam]
