Other stage headline acts?

[biscant]

Could see it being someone like Bloc Party they're still relatively massive, just under the killers at this year's reading could see them having a big draw to the Other stage depending on availabilty, budget etc also clashes persumably a band like Bloc Party will give the young'uns somewhere to go if they are not up for Springsteen. It seems this years line up was kind of on the cheap but the festival was still amazing. Springsteen and Blur I presume will be a set back, if they are set to play.

I actually got engaged in paris the morning of the gig. Maybe i was just knackered (the whole getting on one knee thing is exhausting!) but I thought they were complete gash. Misfit Love was pretty good but the rest was rank. 3 weeks prior I saw them twice in Dublin and they tore the place a new one. I always thought theyd play Glasters last year, but i'm kinda glad they didnt. They seemed to be completely wrecked for the majority of the 2008 shows.

The footage on youtube of them with Grohl, Oliveri and of course Lanegan on the Other Stage is pretty cool though.

[jollynolly]

Friday Razorlight (they have been gagging to play for 4 years)

Sat: Kanye West

Sunday: The Streets

I am well happy with the three rumoured headline acts but would pee my pants if Eels played.

[scudetto_boy]

so with the pyramid looking not to good for me due to what e-festivals believe to be the headline acts, i thought i would put across my other stage hopefulls

FRI- The Hives ( don't think it will happen )

SAT- The White Stripes ( i really think this will happen and if it does i will be well excited )

SUN- Oribital ( again really think it will happen and would love it if it did )

what about you?

[Halfbaked79]

this would make my weekend

Fri - Prodigy or Faithless

Sat - Sigur ros

Sun - Orbital

[Francis Biley]

Sigur Ros def not been asked to play Glasonbury yet, according to Jonsi when I asked him directly after the Ally Pally gig last month.

Has anybody mentioned it before, but there seems to be a huge Glastonbury sized hole in Oasis' tour itinery? Wot u reckon?

Its called thinking positive.

[OneLittleFish]

Having just received the 2CD deluxe re-issue of Mogwais Young Team album, if they were to headline something up against Bruce or Blur, it'd be a very tough call indeed.

[wigstonmania]

fri - daft punk

sat - tv on the radio

sun - bloc party

[scappaflow]

People are putting acts that are much too big in for this slot.

Look at last year... Panic, Hot Chip and the Enemy. All relatively small compared to the likes of the White Stripes and Franz Ferdinand, Kanye West etc. Razorlight will never play without being on the main stage.

I reckon something like... MGMT, Calvin Harris, Elbow etc. Not overly exciting, but certainly if there are 'oldies' headlining who will polarise the crowd they will need to pick headliners for smaller stages very carefully.

With the exception of Hot Chip, I don't think the one's last year were very apt.

[DaleM]

It was Panic, Hot Chip, Groove Armada if i remember correct.

[Paul ™]

Was actually Panic, Massive Attack and Groove Armada.. I seen 2/3 of them

[kohoutec]

I had a dream last night that Hard-Fi headlined the Friday (I must've managed to time travel ). I sincerely hope it doesn't come true

Really hoping for Flaming Lips one night, but that brings the inevitable clashes...

Edited December 29, 2008 by kohoutec

[Joshuwarr]

Friday: Franz Ferdinand, The Charlatans, The Fall

Saturday: Placebo, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine

Sunday: Orbital, Dizzee Rascal, Glasvegas

won't happen but I think that would work well

[Wooderson]

They will put substantial bands up against Bruce and Blur if only to ensure proper crowd management and safety. I can see both of those acts having vast crowds.

I reckon Kanye/Orbital will be offsetting Bruce and Blur on Sat/Sun and Flaming Lips will be on Friday against Neil.

[Wooderson]

that is why Eavis will not book Whitesnake , for the Pyramid , the crowd would reach 120,000 easy !

[ivan]

If "Covers" showed up none of the staff or security would be able to continue at their posts, such would be his musky magnetic attraction.

I'd expect to have a full 175,000 capacity crowd for the man. No problem to the kid, though the sweat would be pouring out from under the barnet.
