Emily Eavis interview

[Wooderson]

Except that they didn't and The Glade was absolutely rammed with people waiting for 'The London Dust Explosion' and 'The Drunk Soul Brother'

Stopped Lost Vagueness from getting too full though!

[TaylorT]

Grab your mashed tatties kids cause its Bodger & Badger playing the special guest slot on The Park

[redmosquito]

Could it be anyone else other than Jesus, David Bowie and Susan Boyle doing a Drum n' Bass set?

[Kaye]

Radioplay or Coldhead?

[swede]

I reckon it might not be announced until the day itself, keep your eyes on the daily paper!

[redmosquito]

I have it on pretty good authority from someone that works with them that its going to be Phil & Grant Mitchell off of Eastenders doing a demonstration of Eskimo throat singing.

With three of us, all with different tastes, having mystery guests is just a pain in the a*se as we'll have to have a "debate" about who to see all over again! With everyone having tickets, and them being effectively sold out, what's the point in having "surprises" - instead of being able to amble to the appropriate stage it seems a scrum is more likely. Apart from that, the fact that whoever it is is not on the Pyramid Stage indicates that there's probably rather more hype than content anyway. Silly idea.

I THINK it will be Libertines.

I HOPE it will be someone much bigger.

I PRAY to the God of music that it will be Rage Against the Machine. Bit of a long shot though.

i'm gonna go with libertines me thinks

[Howl]

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

[thomj42]

perhaps we should start a radiohead nerds thread?

"If we build it, they will come"

[phil h]

Double bluff anybody?

I fully expect this "massive" band to be the Libertines, On the Friday

Think about it logically, what did she say? "Health and Safety risks", "info is never gonna get out", "for the lucky fans who are there".

Now with all this speculation about the Saturday half the site are gonna turn up at The Park, creating the problem Emily alluded to, unless the massive band (Libertines, hey I'm no fan but ppl love them) have already put a cheeky spot in elsewhere.

Personally I think the Queens Head is better for them, means Q (and NME) can don't have to leave the safety of their own tent to brown nose some Crack head.

Long story short, there should be a "massive" band playing, but it could be on any stage any time, might not even be billed as special guests, otherwise Emily has contradicted herself by hyping up the "secret" spot.

[airds]

[Paul86]

[rosstopher]

When I read the article, before I read the replies in this thread, I instantly thought it would be Arctic Monkeys. Eavis has said they would be on site anyway.

[Vacant0]

people seem to have missed this post from lywco

In 2007 there was a big rummour the libs were playing the leftfield....

all the evidence pointed to it.....

just like it does now....

turned out to be hard-fi

im not a fan of the 'secret' gig. if you won't do me the dignity of announcing yourselves in plenty of time, then do not expect me to walk accross the site on the off chance it's someone i like! i had my fingers burned last year: went to the Park to see Dizzee and on walked Franz Ferdinand. it gave me a chance to get the beer in i suppose.

[mancunianlegend]

It's going to be Kanye, he's not got his own official slot so they'll sneak him in here .. watch and see
