line-up updates

The difficulty is with these things is that people sending in info sometimes tell porkies, and that definitive sources also sometimes tell porkies too to cover up what they're not yet at liberty to talk about. So I really don't know.

oh nooo blur V prodigy

i'll see prodigy at leeds but my mate won't and she loves them so i'll be missing blur! gutted!

wouldn't mind seeing the black eyed peas, it'd be a laugh, but they don't even come close to blur or the prodigy!

It's not always porkys thou Niel. I've sent a couple of things that bands themselves have told me. Lo and behold it turned out wrong.

Oh, I know that happens - see the Fleetwood Mac threads from this year for example.

The problem with the original source for Alesha is that he's sent me some spot-on inside info while also giving me some wrong info alongside it (I know these as the case cos it's stuff now confirmed).

And then later he sent me stuff about Alesha, followed later again by something else which I've now had verified as right by another source.

The Alesha stuff has been checked out somewhere good, and is coming back negative - but that could just be those people keeping quiet as it's not announced, I've no way of knowing for sure.

great additions: main stage looks awesome this year for the main acts. Madness/Nick Cave/Blur could be the best line up for a festival ever...

[somecoolusername]

Cooool.... I'd long been wondering who I'd be seeing whilst getting pumped/securing my spot for Blur, now I know and it's bloody brill. Woop for Madness and I while I can't claim to be a big fan of the Cave I'll give some of 'is stuff a spin in the build-up.

Obviously no-one would drag me away from Blur despite the silly amount of times I'm seeing them this summer but it's all cool 'cos I get to see the Prodigy at Reading, having seen Muse over them at V last year in what was another nightmare clash.

Cheers for the info!

Nick Cave is the best news about the festival I could hope for. I'd take seeing him over any of the 3 Pyramid headliners - and I don't even have to choose!

[coolethan]

F**K!!!! I nearly puked with excitement.

A gentle afternoon/early evening of pyramid viewing followed by going INSANE to Prodigy on Sunday night. I'll take it!

ahhhhh i wanted to see Prodigy, but not going to miss Blur. Still got to be some more surprises (and annoying clashes) 10pm Monday

[srvman]

Nah, you're confusing him with Mike49.5.

If these are true, it will turn out to be a much better than last year line-up. Nick Cave is excellent, but to be honest the Quo would be brilliant in the Legends slot on Sunday afternoon, i'm sure they would draw a huge crowd and the place would buzz.
