[scudetto_boy]

Friday Franz

Saturday Kanye

Sunday Orbital

This looks a very good guess for all nights.

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.

[Tugger2k]

Id be pretty happy with the headliners from latitude last year.

Franz on the Friday - could be better, could be worse.

Sigur Ros - They really do need to headline somewhere at the Big G.

Interpol - go down a storm i reckon.

but really i just hope theres something on the other stage for me cos at the moment the pyramids doing nothing to inflame my excitement!!

[Originalshez]

kaiser's won't headline the Other Stage. Too big, they won't go from second on the Pyramid to headline Other. If the headliners are confirmed as they are for Pyramid, if the Kaisers play they will play Saturday before Bruce.

can't see them booking mogwai this year if blur are the headliners, considering mogwai's feud with blur; the "blur are shite" t-shirts etc.

Doubt glasto will wan't to book a band that'll possibly/probably undermine the sunday headliner.

The new album is surprisingly good to my sceptical ears.

[ThomThomDrum]

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.

[steve....]

So where/when could bloc party come into this??

[krisskross]

Eh...........As pointed out...........Wrong headliners quoted except for Panic( )........Groove Armada are not exactly small................and Massive Attack...................Well the name said it all MASSIVE!

I dont undersatnd how you've all listened to it already as its not out until the end of the month, unless.........

.......you are all actually memebers of franz ferdinand i've expected as much for a long time

[sdaveak47]

theres probably torrents around. Press peeps have it, so pretty much certain that its more widespread.

[suchacharmer]

Yeah it leaked on Sunday evening...

Not a big Neil Young or Bruce Springsteen fan, I like Blur but my Dad will drag me to Orbital, so I'll probably see whoever plays Friday and Saturday on the Other Stage. I reckon it'll be:

Bloc Party

Franz Ferdinand

Orbital

[podge52]

Starsailor?

[Tugger2k]

Surely Doves are a possibility. New album finally out in april and would imagine they will be hitting the festivals pretty hard as theyve been away for so long!!

[windy_miller]

I heard a rumour that the Other Stage lineup is

Friday: Geneva

Saturday: Marion

Sunday: Menswear

[alframsey]

I defo want Sigur Ros there!!!
