Emily Eavis interview

[hughesie]

My money is on the Libs. Something on the NME website today about Carl and Peter both playing the same festival in London and looks like they may play together again. Makes this more than likely.

Personally would love to see them, would be much happier seeing them play together because they want to and not because of the stupid money they were offered by other festivals to get back together.

Failing the Libs possible the Arctic Monkeys, new album more or less done gives them a chance to road test some songs and would have to keep the gig quiet not only because of overcrowding but they are probably Signed "Exclusively" for Reading/Leeds

[srvman]

i think it has to be a momentus band....

libs are who i think....

think theyd put a "park" type band on....libs are as park as it gets...

only other bands i can think of that would go down that well at that time, would be well the strokes or faithless

[Abbathehorse]

That gig would 100% result in world peace and wipe out hunger and diease in one fell swoop!

[niceandfriendly]

could be the arctics. the last shadow puppets played the park last year so maybe turner enjoyed playing there? that would be fantastic.

[.jay.]

i think it will be the libo's

personally i just listen to music and like what i like without feeling the need to let other peoples view's and opinions on them sway my opinion, i couldn't give a toss how "rated" they are and who by i either like something or i don't.

people who use the old "so and so are overrated" bullshit need to grow the f**k up (unless they're still kids of course then it's forgivable)

going back to the original post i am wondering if Josh Homme will make a rare appeance on drums for Eagles of Death Metal.

Extra Rolf???

[freehugs!]

the strokes

[Ashaz42]

Oh man. The Strokes playing would make my head explode with epicness. So would Faithless. Then again, The Cure, Stone Roses and Joy Division would too

I also don't see the big deal about the Libertines. They're ok, but nothing that special to me.

[pedmills]

I think Radiohead might be a possibility actually...

It sounds ludicrous but remember Michael Eavis was quoted a few weeks ago saying something along the lines of getting phone call's from Radiohead's manager asking about things.

As ivan would probably say, It would please the Radiohead nerds

If I was a betting man, I'd definitely put money on the Libertines.

Wasn't it initially believed that Pete was playing on the Park Stage on the Saturday, but not headlining? And now there's a special guest?

Certainly makes sense in my mind.

[remote]

Think it'll definitely be the Libertines.

[staggerlee]

Quote from the article:

"When are we going allowed to find out about it?"

"I don't think it will ever be announced. It will just happen for those people that happen to be there, hopefully for the people that are fans of the band."

I love the Park stage as well so would hate to miss something like this.

[musky]

I never picked up a Q daily last year so what were the actual hints about the special guests like?

Ridiculously cryptic?

[JodiB]

Has been rumoured and said before but I hope it might be.....

VAMPIRE WEEKEND.

[staggerlee]

I'll guess the Artic Monkeys.

[Abbathehorse]

I agree, I don't think Radiohead is a ridiculous shout at all. That would be a really special gig and something I could see them being up for doing. However i think my money is on the Monkeys or the Libs

[somecoolusername]

When I read the article the Libertines were who came to mind. I'll definitely be there to find out unless I have solid proof that it won't be them or somebody else I wanna see; I'd hate myself if I missed them..

You watch everyone will congregate waiting for the Libertines and some other hopefuls will show up and have abuse hurled at them..

Could be someone like MGMT/Foals I suppose, but as others have said, it was Libertines who came to mind.

[nickoo]

come on arctics.. libs have burnt out as much as i am a fan!

[p.pete]

do we know what day the big surprise is on?

[ampersand]

Has been rumoured and said before but I hope it might be.....

VAMPIRE WEEKEND.

[nickoo]

Anyone?

Park has special guest slots on Friday and Saturday...

[jameshunt]

Rolf Harris doing a Drum 'n' Bass set.

[nickoo]

or lady gaga hanging!
