biscant Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 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.

popcornmaster Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beard Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I am well happy with the three rumoured headline acts but would pee my pants if Eels played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scudetto_boy Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 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 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 this would make my weekend Fri - Prodigy or Faithless Sat - Sigur ros Sun - Orbital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Biley Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) 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?

OneLittleFish Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 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 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 fri - daft punk sat - tv on the radio sun - bloc party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scappaflow Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited December 29, 2008 by scappaflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleM Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 It was Panic, Hot Chip, Groove Armada if i remember correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Was actually Panic, Massive Attack and Groove Armada.. I seen 2/3 of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohoutec Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) 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...

Joshuwarr Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I reckon Kanye/Orbital will be offsetting Bruce and Blur on Sat/Sun and Flaming Lips will be on Friday against Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 that is why Eavis will not book Whitesnake , for the Pyramid , the crowd would reach 120,000 easy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 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.
