Who were The Park's Special Guests?

[Jet_Moderno]

After all the speculation, who were they?

Didnt hear/read anything about it.

[BudBrain]

Same. We even got up early each day to get the paper and there was nowt in there about it.

[Swindlebiscuit]

Hot Rats, Dead Weather and the Klaxons.

[Jet_Moderno]

Ah ok, didnt miss out then!

[BudBrain]

So I take it the 'health & safety' act pulled out? What a bunch of spin!

Wrong. Alex Turner played last year with Last Shadow Puppets. Also this year was the second time Jack had played the stage.

not much of a crowd though

[shugie]

Today's useless factoid: Tinariwen played the main stage on Sat and the Park with Tunng yesterday.

[When Jokers Attack]

Glad it wasn't Muse as I was at Kasabian, Dead Weather were awesome!

[MJMilz14]

Hot Rats were ace

Didn't see the others.

Gutted it wasn't Thom Yorke: was convinced it was gonna be him!

[the_hutch_keeper]

Dead Weathers blew me away!!!!

rock and roll!!

[Bluearsedfly]

TBH, I was a bit miffed off when Hot Rats came on. Had hoped the early slot was going to be Dead Weather and the later slot a bit more "health and safety issue", Libertines, Muse (yeah right) or even The Killers as an outside bet.

EE definately over cooked the weight of the surprise guests slots, someone more cynical would say it was spin to get you up to the Park?

Thought the Hot Rats were a waste of time but enjoyed The Dead Weather, a bit.

stayed behind after shlomo at the park on saturday expecting the klaxons, but when their roadies came out as characters from the wizard of oz, I thougth (prayed) it might be the arctic mondays. Didn't they dress up like that for one of their videos?

Klaxons were great though. Got themselves a very boistrous mosh pit going (especially the nutcase in the blue shirt), which I watched from the comfort of the hill

Who the F@%K's Arctic Mondays?

[phunkpunk]

A bunch of lads stood infront of us where adament that Elton John was one of the special guests on the park stage....you can imagine the disappointment on their faces when the blokes from Supergrass walked out onto the stage instead.

Its funny how these rumours start

[Brunty9]

no libertines then? I heard i couple of rumours they played this weekend. Cant image pete had it in him either way after seeing his own set. he looked / sounded battered!

[_danny_]

i thought dead weather were amazing. and when jack picked up a guitar for the last track, i was in heaven.

but to be honest, if jack had picked his nose for an hour i'd be telling you all it was amazing too

[FrayBentos]

So who was the band that was meant to be a health safety issue

Hot weather, eh?

Klaxons, dont think so
