Emily Eavis interview

[beamends]

yeah, true. sorry haha..

so kerrang saying the act is massive?

[rosstopher]

Massive eh? That'll be Meatloaf then ;-)

[kohoutec]

The La's.

[Funkungfusion]

It's gotta be ACDC.

Cos my mate just texted me to say so. Either that or Michael Jackson

[thomj42]

what about M.I.A maybe ?

[ThomThomDrum]

I think maybe people we need to cast our minds back to an interview Emily Eavis did at the start of the year when she said 2009 Was the 'year of the comeback'

Ok we have the specials, but nothing much in the way of big names otherwise

This is actually a good shout considering Mavers has put a new incarnation of the band together...I heard earlier on 6 Music their first gig is in July, so it could be a warm up

[gibbo13]

Neil, have you heard anything about the special guests?

[stuartbert two hats]

There is only one act who have ever been Massive. And that's Massive Attack, back around the time of the first gulf war

[NowhereMan]

There's something I don't understand.

If Emily Eavis is worried about health and safety in the park special slot, then why would she tell us that a 'massive' act is playing there. Surely that would cause large amounts of people flocking there just to see who it is, which is almost as, if not as bad as telling us who it is.

Also, she said something at the end along the lines of 'it'll happen for those lucky fans who happen to be there.' Well that doesn't sound like large number of people going to the Park to see who this act is.

I think the big act might be on another stage, I think the Queen's Head has some special guest slots. This way not many people would know, and their lucky fans would happen to be there.

(I think somebody might have mentioned this before, either way it deserves a second mention)

hmm interesting.

the park is her baby after all so maybe she's biggin it up when really all she's got on is Blunt

[arcade fireman]

End of the day, the two big stage acts it clashes with (Kasabian and Pendulum) are two acts which should be good value live, but also two acts who regularly play the festival circuit and gig regularly.

I'd rather stay at the Park, think I'll head there after Passion Pit finishes in the JP at half 7 (secret act is due on at 9). The chances of a special gig are high and even if its an act I don't end up liking, the build up and the atmosphere should be something fun.

[sifi]

I thought the Franz Ferdinand "secret" was in the paper?

[sifi]

The Glastonbury Paper? I don't know. Earlier on in the day Alex was giving out his own flyers for the gig but I don't know whereabouts that was.

By the way there is an hour long special guest slot in the Queen's Head on Saturday, which according to Clashfinder starts one hour after the end of Doherty's set, which would give him enough time to get over, no? (that's assuming the secret band is the Libertines)

[NowhereMan]

ooo.... thats a thought though. Again, assuming the secret band is the Libs I'd still reckon it'd be the Park because the slot is where Doherty was actually supposed to be playing - but that has made me wonder....

[Dukeicon]

David Bowie

[irons]

I'll be realy suprised if it's not The Libertines, everything points to it. Even Carl Barrats new film comes out around the time, nice publicity.

I'm also wondering, who's the special guests on the Pyramid stage? If it was Radiohead, Muse or even the Libertines that would be the place? Or am I way wrong?

[irons]

The general concensus is that the special guests on the Pyramid will be N*E*R*D

I said on another thread, Everyone seems to think The Libertines (oh god i hope its true) but how about Babyshambles?

They played a surprise gig at the Great Escape Festival earlier in the year, and the same person helps to book acts for Glastonbury i believe?!

either way, Not long to go till my first Glasto
