Special Guest Slot Roundup

[glastofun]

There's supposedly a 'surprise superstar guest' on in Shangri-La late on the Friday night.

Good call starting this thread, Sam.

I started sticking the guesses into the clashfinder last night and did N*E*R*D and the Klaxons. The boxes still say 'Special Guests' but now followed the name in brackets with a question mark (but before you look, I haven't actually compiled a new revision yet).

It'll be nice if I can fill in a few more boxes.

By the way, I've already put 'Up' as a possible for the 3D film on Sunday.

[glasto_freak]

would foals be a possibility?

[Rolf Harris]

the slot for the 3.30 on the pyramid is down for 1hr30 minute set. That will have to be the big act that she is going on about. The klaxons couldn't play for 90 minutes if their lifes depended on it!!!

[kohoutec]

Hmmmm intriguing. Surely it will be a DJ?

[halvin]

My money is on Norman Cook.

[kohoutec]

It's *always* Norman Cook.

Steve Lamacq said on his show yesterday that Dead Weather (Jack White's new band) were playing Glastonbury - so I assume that's one of the Park Guest slots, probably on the Friday afternoon?

Still not sure who the VERY VERY Secret guests are that would cause real crowd issues if it was announced, that Emily Eavis was on about.

I'm liking the idea of Soulwax!

[Bluearsedfly]

Anyone got anymore info on Dead Weather?

[dvb]

at first i was all for seeing loads of special guests, but now that they seem to clash with kasabian and the specials its not worth waiting round for people who wont be as enjoyable as them. And im sure both bands will be great glasto moments for this festival!. ile see atlest one special guest at park on friday,hoping that slot is the unanouncable special guest.

[Supernova]

the Park special guests at 16:00 on Friday are The Hot Rats, Gaz and Danny from Supergrass new side project

Aqua are doing a comeback, so they are a sure thing as special guests, given they spook favorably of Glastonbury on a Icelandic televison program recently..

Michael Franti and Spearhead simply HAVE to be playin one of the guest spots, somewhere on the Friday (and that day there's one on the Pyramid, two on the Park and one on the Shangri-La.

Both Franti and backing singer Cherine Anderson confirmed Glasto on their websites in the run-up to the line-up announcement, then the fesitival mysteriously dissapeared from their myspaces just befroe the line-up was announced.

Fingers crossed..........

Plus, Michael and Emily talked up Fatboy Slim in their 6 mix interview, and that was a few weeks ago. I can't see Emily saying "Norman Cook always plays" a few weeks before a festival that he isn't going to be playing.

Also, if the 3D movie is a sneak preview of UP I will jizz myself with happiness!!! What a way to spend the Sunday - chilling out in front of a movie that I literaly cannot wait to see!

[elbongo]

I still hope that having De La Soul on the very first line up release was not completely unfounded. I think they are doing quite a good job of keeping things quiet this year. We usually know by now...

[sisterofmercy]

Speaking of checking heads, what about the Beastie Boys? That would make me very happy.

Good call.. I'd guess more likely to be Park. Are Soulwax a "Kerrang" kind of band?

There's also been talk of De La Soul but not sure if and when...
