Special Guest Slot Roundup

[Brunty9]

I hate all the special guest stuff. I always worry about missing potentially amazing bands.

What is the best way to find out who the special guests are on the day?

I think the Friday slot on the main stage will be The Rolling Stones...

Then I think Pink Floyd will do the Park on Sat just to annoy those who wanted to see em on the Pyramid, and as an extra surprise, Rick Wright will be back on keyboards and Syd will be playing a bit of rhythm guitar...

Just my two penneth...

He just texted me back there, it's the Friday for Muse apparently. Taking it with a pinch of salt but it could happen I suppose, good place to show their new stuff.

Looks like The Hot Rats it is. Checked their songs on myspace and not a million liles from Supergrass who Ive never had the privelage of seeing. Was going to watch 3 Daft Monkeys but reckon these are worth it and may get to see a bit of the monkeys as well

...well, they are supposedly playing somewhere on the 26th (which was always one of the holes in the argument for them playing the saturday evening surprise slot)...I've asked a member of their crew but got no reply (which is strange in itself and maybe an indication that it's actually true, as if he knew I presume he probably wouldn't be able to say)...there's suspiciously large holes in the schedule for the park on the friday...considering that I don't have any real must sees on friday til Neil Young, if the weather's nice I may just hang out at the park for a good portion of the day!

Is marmaduke duke a deffo you reckon as special guests or is it just clver guess work . As if they did play would make my festival tbh as i ave both their albums and they are amazing + i cant get too see biffy on tour so this is the second best thing i guess !

[ampersand]

muse certainly fits the health and safety bill.

do you know what day irons?

[ampersand]

Not a clue, he says we'll never find out till the time. Were you BenCosmia in the past?

[irons]

yup. did will young give it away

[ampersand]

Nope, Take That

See you at glasto I hope haven't seen you since Connect festival a couple of years ago. Get yoursel to the Scottish meet at the Cider Bus, 7pm Thursday.

[irons]

aye i mind seeing you there. think i saw you at bella too that year? or maybe that was da j doc, tis a bit blurry

yeah will do if i remember. i was actually planning on seeing yes man at that time, but its probably pish!

[ampersand]

I think it was the year before we met at Bella, I dropped my pint and you gave me a drink of Cider. You, me, Vicki and Alison (my gf) wondered up to see Kate Nash, we followed your flag.

[1mills]

wow if it was stripes and i missed it i would cry for so long

[irons]

aye that was 07 as well. only been to bella the one year. must have been really drunk then if i was giving away ciders

[ampersand]

It was only a sip. See you Thursday hopefuly thou grumpynuts isn't sure if he's going to turn up. I'll text him silly thou and he'll cave.

[PollyPeach]

Ooh, Soulwax?! Prefer them as soulwax than 2manydjs. That might slightly make up for my disappointment at no fleetwood mac. Hope de la soul play too..

[irons]

who else is going? is there a thread?

[Zacko]

Please be Muse, Please be Muse, Please be Muse.

I'll be glad if it is the Friday slot after Emiliana because that wouldn't clash with anything too major IMO.
