Friday other stage opener

[mr gumby]

Well, I'm currently listening to the best of The Waterboys, and that's as much reason as anyone else has given, so maybe?

I think Gervais is a good shout. And I quite hope it's right!

Though when I scrolled down the stages I saw that the Avalon cafe had most of Saturday dedicated to the Gentleman Of The Road Stopover. Could this mean Mumford & Sons will play a small set that day. Or even be the special guest on the Friday. An outside shot of course, but as soon as I saw that stopover, it sprung to mind.

I know this is quite harsh but why are people suggesting the most random and obscure bands?

If they are billed as special guests, they've gotta be someone which joe public has heard of. Listing your favourite band that you really wish the festival booked just makes me cringe to be honest.

My logic - who has stuff to promote, who's got a relationship with the festival, who's tour fits around glastonbury.

Like it or lump it, coldplay fit that category.

[Sketchead]

It's Pete and Carl – we all know it.

[Badlands]

I'm guessing The National. It's as good a guess as any.

Or Phi Slamma Jamma!

It's going to be neutral milk hotel

[Sawdusty surfer]

It will be The Pogues.

(They are playing Bristol on the day before and it is unlike them to get together for a fairly minor one off)

So are we just naming acts we want to play but most definitely won't be in that slot? I'll have The Dandy Warhols then. Seem as likely as some of the acts mentioned tbh.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Exactly, just seems like name your favourite band and pretend they are so popular that they play unannounced to a huge crowd and everyone there knows who they are.

The National already confirmed that weren't playing this year.

Those saying Pulp - no chance. The film that comes out next month is all about the "goodbye gig" in Sheffield in 2012. There is nothing unusual about Cocker and Mackey DJing. They do it most years, they're just not usually billed beforehand.

[rubenz]

Beady Eye - The Second Coming..

[sisco]

Personally would be amazed if its a Headliner type band.

Beady Eye last year so someone like Coldplay would be a hell of a jump. I actually wouldnt be surprised if its someone along the lines of NGHFB, Example, Bastille, that sort of sized act

[Sawdusty surfer]

The more I insist on here that it is The Pogues, the more likely that it will be them

[Sawdusty surfer]

The Pogues. (It's starting to work)

[milly16]

Suede or James
