The Cribs to headline Other Stage Friday ?

[ivan]

Ryan would relish the challenge , and no doubt give us some brilliant one liners about U2

[VCK]

Not big enough, but they could possibly do 2nd, with (hopefully) The Strokes headlining.

[rexclark]

They'll surely need a big act to try and take some of the crowd away from the Pyramid stage?

[Wiggum]

I'm sure Art Brut would love it.

"Why would you want to, sound like U2?"

I really hope Art Brut make an appearance next year.

[swede]

Yea, I wasn't sure how'd they handle the other stage last year but as ever, they took in their stride. Eddie was on top form that day. Really funny.

Don't think the Cribs are big enough to headline Other but really hope they play somewhere. They've headlined JP a couple of years ago and it was pretty empty but maybe with bigger profile this time round that'd be a great slot for them? Or 2nd/3rd Other stage?

I was there too - it was onlyabout 1/3 full BUT (big but) the people who were in there were absolutely loving it - including us. We started watching another headliner (I forget who!) but ame to Cribs about halfway thru and were able to walk to the front few rows where it was jumping.

Small crowd but a fervent one

[Boosh]

He really is one of the most under-rated frontmen around.

[Red Day]

Maybe a headline at the JP but never the Other Stage. Just aren't a big enough band to be on at the same time as U2. My money is on the Chems headlining Friday at the OS

[fullfathom5]

Chems would work well, as if people wanna see a dance act they can watch them, enough of a contrast from U2.

[Red Day]

If that turns out the case it's a no-brainer....... give me my glow sticks and stick a bit of Star Guitar on please....!

[robith]

They're definitely not big enough - they need something big to split the crowd.

They're also one of the most shambolic live bands I've ever seen.

Shambolic in an intimate setting = seems passionate and intense

Shambolic on a big outdoor stage = makes you look like muppets

[Josepipe]

So it was my hazy memory then...

Damn that Strongbow..!

[doddy135]

I too had the memory of it being quite full, must have been down the front with you! We started watching the enemy on the other stage but left to get a good spot for the cribs. I thought it was a great show.

I though they might headline the other stage but after the U2 announcement the goal posts have been moved and i dont think they'd be big enough to draw enough of the crowd away. Maybe they'd play second. As has been already mentioned, they work better at an indoor venue so maybe they'd headline the JP again.

To avoid a crowd control disaster they're going to have to have bigger headliners on Other and Jazzworld. Strokes could fit the bill though (though not my cuppa).
