This Years Park Special Guests

[biscant]

Only problem is The Libertines don't exist. Muse have too much guitar effects and what not to pull off their songs on the park I'd say and I can't see them playing acoustic. I would like it to be be Biffy Clyro after missing them last year but I have not bothered to check if that's possible. What's all this about a band beginning with 'M' and Kerrang mentioning it? Could somebody please explain it to me?

[NowhereMan]

I reckon that's a possibility, don't think it'll be anyone massive (muse, radiohead etc.) due to the safety issue, as it would be bound to get out who was playing. So someone medium size-ish would be my guess (i.e. someone who could play high up on the other stage rather then headline the main stage, like Franz last year). Think the Libertines would be about as big as it would get, and Jack's new band definitely the sort of size that it could be.

Metallica.

[drewsstrat]

Of course it could be another Kerrang-championed band beginning with M.

A band who love playing European festivals, and whose drummer is on record as saying they would like to play Glasto as it's one of the few UK festivals they have never played.

PLUS - they have played secret/unnanounced festival gigs before.

Playing in Rome on the Wednesday (24th) and nothing for glasto w/e ?

MMMMMMMMMMM - who could it be ?!?!?!?

[rustybutcher]

a band that begins with M that kerrang would love.

marmaduke duke.

[Arronbury]

Is there any chance of Skunk Anansie?

Recently reformed and only done small gigs so far, building up to a big tour later in the year.

Also, it's 10 years since they headlined.

has anyone got a shred of proof to back up these claims, the emily interview was to the press assocation, so every newspaper, music mag reported it, just because someone read it in kerrang doesn't mean it will be metallica/muse, or if you read in NME it will be Libertines,

i think it was said to stirr it up a bit, or to give us a little bit of a surprise,

but hey heres to hoping,

[sprocketrocket]

I heard it was Neds Atomic Dustbin...

Still no word from the drummers mate but I think (hope) it's the Pixies. I can but hope.

[fullfathom5]

I'm beginning to think Duffy might play, (as I don't think she's listed) ME said something about her last year coming back...

[tijuana_man]

has anyone suggested the Manics yet?

[Redwinevino]

the park stage lineup this year is complete tosh except for the Animal Collective and what looks like some Fela Kuti celebration gig thingy, problem is they clash with Neil Young and Blur so wont be there

So these special guests better be good because the park is one my favourite places and i would like to be there alot

Sort it out Emily, i still haven't forgiven her for cutting Battles gig to 4 songs last year

[Sam Crawley]

[muddyslingbax]

i reckon it's ACDC; playing in London on Friday (i think)

[Joe_]

ive got a strange feeling it might be the faces!

[calmdowngeorge]

When do we actually find out the special guests? Do we have to wait until they're actually coming onto the stage? Is it announced on the time booklet thingy that we get when we get in? or are we able to find out before wednesday?

sorry i'm a complete n00b! x

Combination of

eFestivals/Neil digging up the info for us

Halvin pimping his contacts

Read the full programme when we get there, might be confirmed in that

Read the daily freebie Glasto newspaper on site every day

Ask people you meet, especially people working at stages

And the least satisfying if you miss the gig: pure luck!!

[t0paz]

You forget of course that Neil knows, but if he tells us he won't know next time around.... You would keep stum too...

The secret acts won't be all that wow and you won't feel too robbed if you miss them.*

(*not libel if you favourite band are the secret act in question)

[WS_Jack_III]

well i can make mostly all the special slots this year apart from the H/S risk one but from the rumoured bands i don't think i'll be bothered.

only one i bothered about is the friday one at about 6pm. i think thats The Dead Weather
