People that have never played

[mario man]

Richard Hawley. Pretty sure he's never played (guest spot with Elbow last year doesn't count!) Would be perfect high up the bill on a smaller stage.

Here's another shout for Gorillaz - maybe after the third album...?

[Peache Calhoon]

some one may have already asked this question but has Jeff Beck ever played ?

that i would like to see....

[yoda-says]

TheDead / The Grateful Dead

[eFestivals]

TheDead / The Grateful Dead

they've virtually played - they contributed one side to the vinyl of the '71 Glastonbury record.

[venuss]

Blondie

[daveinafield]

blondie played a few years back

[daveinafield]

ooooh right acts that have never played that id love to see there.....ok Stiff little fingers, eric burdon, Yusaf Islam, motorhead, miles hunt, the mission,wildhearts, richard hawley, the strokes, snow patrol, shack..tho i think they played and i missed them, Green day, Fields, anthony and the johnsons, rolling stones, pink floyd, nine below zero, U2, the Simon and Garfunkel call is ace too

[attackofthemongs]

There's two acts I've always wanted to see at Glasto , the first is Neil Jung , fingers crossed , seems like it might actually occur shortly.

The second is Kraftwerk.

It looks like they've preety much called it a day now ,but considering the emergence and presence of electronic myoosic over previous years, the out and out Daddy's of dance would be hailed and welcomed to the glasto bosoms like no other. a period of pirramid pluto plus the goddess of love venus would please the plasma. I f**king love that band.

[hoils]

Great calls with Michael Jackson and Kraftwewrk. Think both are very unlikely nowadays, for different reasons (no longer existing and not being able to afford the train fare to Castle Cary, respectively). Others that have already been mentioned that would be ace include Tracey Chapman, LCD Soundsystem, Elton John, Magnetic Fields, Prince and Kate Bush.

Others that I can think of that haven't been mentioned yet:

Gace Jones (as big possibility this year maybe?)

Jim Noir

Madonna (cue hysterical reaction by a few men - she's a slag/slut/whore. Classy opinion gents, classy)

The Specials (looking good for this year. Wish Jerry was playing with them though)

Dolly (it's going to happen eventually, surely?)

McFly

Jenny Lewis

Mad Caddis

Girls Aloud

Glenn Campbell (must be a good shout for this year)

Los de Abajo (on the Jazz at sunset natch)

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Take That (fingers crossed for next year)

NOFX

Great Big Sea

Mary J Blige

Swingin Utters

Violent Femmes (think they're not talking to each other anymore so they're a non-starter)

Beyonce

An orchestra playing the 1812 after the main headliner. Fireworks, cannons, the lot.

And finally, the dream gig, Jimmy Cauty and Drummond getting back together. f**k knows what it would involve but I'm sure it'd be very special indeed

[PAH030]

snow patrol played other stage in 2003 I think. (twas either 03 or 04).

[alframsey]

I don't think they could have Floyd with just one of the original members called Floyd really. That's weak.

[LRW]

I've just had a f**kin' brain wave.

Yes its 1am.

Yes I have consumed more than a bottle of red wine.

And yes I dont think he tours anymore, but how cool would this be Sunday afternoon on the Pyramid.....

[Tim2006]

I know this might be a stupid question but have The Pixies played? Can't quite remember!

Also, not sure about these either, but would love to see them there again if they've already appeared:

Fleetwood Mac

The Chameleons

Depeche Mode (Saw Dave Gahan there)

Dolly Parton

Faith No More

Puressence

Stevie Wonder

Nouvelle Vague

The Specials

Pink Martini

Prince (Headline!!!)

Chaka Khan (on Jazzworld stage)

Siouxsie and the Banchees

[LRW]

No....just me also.Super call.My second bottle of wine has just been opened....

[kohoutec]

Always wanted to see Liz Phair play. But unfortunately over the last few years she turned crap. Her first album is a work of genius though.

[TheSeventhOne]

Daft Punk

Iron Maiden

[DaveMac]

Off the top of my head how about :

Steely Dan / Donald Fagan

Santana

Carly Simon

Joni Mitchell

Chris Rea

EDIT: + Peter Hammill (who is a genius imho)

(yes I'm showing my age here )

And if people are talking about Phil Collins I would love to see Genesis (but thats probably just me )

I don't think any of the above have played Glasto before but I'm prepared to be proved wrong

[Tugger2k]

Just thought id be an idea to see who you think should have played the Big G, but for some inexplicable reason they havent.

i'll kick off with the wonderful Mr Ray Lamontagne

i cannot for the life of me fathom how either late on in the acoustic or sat/sun afternoon (but it would have to be sunny) pyramid action hasnt happened.
