This Years Park Special Guests

[wigstonmania]

m83 are booked over glastonbury in mainland europe

[zlatan]

Having only been one Glastonbury before, when do we find out who the special guests are? Is it a word of mouth thing and you have to turn up to be sure?

[radioshed]

Apparently that orange glastonav mobile application tells you who the special guests are.

Need to try it out this year.

[mike46]

I'm sure Pete will tell us to visit the park an hour after his finished the other stage

silver mt. zion

....please

[cossie65]

I dont think the Libs would announce anything for a secret gig, they'd probably do something impromptue than announce anything (probably a good thing due to mass hysteria and crowd trouble)

[joshwarrr]

It won't be The Dead Weather they have a european or american tour at the same time. I think, but I could be wrong.

I think it will be libertines.

[ubermark]

I think that the Flaming Lips are still rumored for the saturday on the rumors page, so does anyone else reckon they could be the special guests on the saturday?

As for the special guests on the friday, Dead Weather are definately a good shout. And although I reckon its fairly unlikely there might be some potential for a libertines slot.

Also does anyone know if the special guest slots get worked out here on efestivals before the festival? The slots are generally fairly high up and would be clashing with some strong main stage acts, who I'd be fairly reluctant to miss, but would happily do so if I knew a band i really liked was playing the special guest slot down at the park.

i just rememberd that last year Shlomo and Guests was the name used for the Last of the Shadow Puppets, and this name appears again, in exactly the same slot, so possibly another special guest could be included!

[DaleM]

I went to see Shlomo last year only to find he was on early and the last shadow muppets were on instead. dissappointing.

[ralph250]

shlomo & the vocal orchestra are not to be missed; group of about 9 beatboxers/singers that do collaborations; ie last year the guests were dj yoda, martha wainwright, get cape, portico quartet, martina topley bird, john mcclure (reverend and the makers), ed harcourt, and a few others.

f**king awesome!

Fleetwood Mac or Editors would be good.

Vampire Weekend

[Zacko]

I'm gonna guess maybe Arctic Monkeys (I wish) or more likely Klaxons and perhaps Dead Weather.

[joew89]

friendly fires and klaxons are my guess. libs would be awesome but doubt it will happen

[mini-macc]

Im hoping for a little action from the Rifles, however i know this may be in vain as i dont see the Park as being there type of gig

[pedmills]

Does anyone think that Anvil could be one of the special guests? They were rumoured, and I think park would be a good position for them.

[fullfathom5]

Graham Coxon on Sat - he'll play with Pete and then do a solo set at the Park - I reckon.

[mub1234]

this better be the year the libs are special guests

how long have we waited?

We are all overlooking the fact that this reform could very well happen during Pete's set on the other, a libs reform, no matter how hushed up, would be way oversubscribed at the park
