Funnily enough I was thinking about this on the way in to work this morning - was listening to left,right,left,right,left and thought that they tick all the boxes - active and touring at the moment, big enough to cause a stampede as Emily Eavis suggested, the kind of band that would do a smaller show at glasto. Could be good if true.

If the secret set is Emily Eavis is referring to is Coldplay i will be severly dissapointed. Muse would be so much better, hell i'd even take the libertines over this pile of turd!

I think it would be seriously stupid of Glastonbury to have an act the size of Coldplay play the park! It would be a crowd control nightmare!! Can you imagine it??

And then if it were to happen, what would it be like for this throng of people to get from the Park to the Pyramid to see Bruce?? f**k that!!

IMO..........not going to happen!..........As I have said it wil be someone like Placebo, Super Furry Animals etc etc............

I WISH that Coldplay fans would stop this wishful thinking!

Hi, Not posted for a very, very, very long time. Anyhoo, I was reading the Bon Iver thread and like a few on it, I'd not really heard his music. So I popped over to MySpace and checked out a couple of songs. I also noticed on MySpace he's down to play Glastonbury on the 27th + 28th. The 28th is on the Other stage, whilst the 27th is on the Park Stage at 8pm.

I'm completely non-plussed about Coldplay, but make of this added info whatever you like!

Cheers.

actually, I really don't think that applies, as long as it remains 'secret' (or at least nothing more than guesses that it might be).

Think about it - people have a choice of defo seeing a band they want to see, or of trekking up to The Park on a "maybe I'll get to see someone I like, but it might be someone I hate" basis. Last year - with strong rumours of two very popular bands, few bothered to make that trek.

Am i bothered....Not really

but yeah coldplay would be good cos then i can see kasabian without having a constant nag in the back of my brain wondering if the libs are playing and whether i should be hot footing it up to the park!

God some of the signatures on that forum make me want to puke

[Roger Explosion]

I was told they were playing a while ago, but to keep it a secret... So i wouldn't be suprised. They are in town that week too...

They'll never fit Chris Martins ego onto the Park stage.

Nothing against Coldplay but why, what would be the point of having them do a secret gig early doors on the Park stage?

[Redcanadahat]

what time is the 'secret performance?' i want to see if it clashes with anyone i like..if not, i'll be heading over to the park. never been there before!

Can we merge this with the "cups of piss" thread?

Coldplay were excellent in 2005 or when ever it was. Not the biggest fan of these and think Chris Martin is a bit of an Annoying git but would be good to see them there again.

Probably the busiest ive seen the pyramid stage when they played though, so as people have said could be dangerous if they were to play the park, that little road up to it would be rammed.

[cejx]

couldnt we have the monsoon instead?

[Bexxxxx]

Apparently 8pm on the Sat

[Rolf Harris]

what about the afternoon slot friday on the Pyramid? that would surely be a bit safer than having 10,000 + people tring to get to the park - the least accessible are of the festival.
