Could Noel Gallagher headline Jazzwork or Acoustic

[eFestivals]

the streets? really?

From the angle that rap/hip-hop has grown out of jazzy beats, yup.

[sifi]

He'd be too big for Acoustic tent, better on the other stage or even penultimate slot on pyramid stage.

[Cardboard Box City]

I'd be happy with him on any stage. Far too many people would go if he was on in a tent. Jazzworld/Other at a minimum given the numbers, Jazzworld would be my preference.

[Cardboard Box City]

Cobblers. Ray Davies played the Acoustic Tent last year. Robert Plant headlined it a few years back.

Are you seriously suggesting that he's bigger than Robert Plant?

[Davness]

Perhaps the Park Stage if anywhere?

Them Crooked Vultures will be the surprise Saturday afternoon guest at the Park, leaving enough time for the Foo Fighters on the Pyramid at 8pm followed by the headline performance of Led Zep.

Maybe

[dunc55]

if you mean jazzworld, care to say how Noel is in any way jazz?

Jizz, not jazz.

[coma girl]

I've got one or two bootlegs of Noel solo and its definately something I'd like to see live

[Toilet Duck]

Well, the best set I ever saw on the JazzWorld was John Fogerty (who went down an absolute storm) - and I'm pretty sure there's plenty of people who would consider him a 3 chord rock act.

[plaskins]

For me, this would be a dream come true if he played. If he were to play, I'm thinking a sunset slot on Other stage or acoustic tent headline performance would be best suited..

Though I don't know how likely a 2010 performance would be - I'm pretty certain he won't have any solo material officially released in time to be touring an official release. So it would probably be an exclusive show at the time, full of Oasis classics (He did write most of their songs). Noel is a fan of Glastonbury Festival, I gather the Eavis family have always been fans of Oasis.. Love them or hate them, Oasis played the festival on 3 occasions (so they have a strong history with the place, although 2004 did them no favours!). Being the 40th anniversary all I can do is cross my fingers and hope that he's had a phone call from Worthy Farm!

As far as bootlegs go, "The Dreams We Have as Children" recorded at The Royal Albert Hall in 2007 is the one to get!

I wanna know what jazz is. I want you to show me.

[WS_Jack_III]

I always thought jazzworld was just an anything goes sort of stage.

[GlastoEls]

No way is he a legend of the type that Eavis has had put on that stage in recent years - the aging bluemen types, Fogerty, Armatrading, etc.

Modern and popular does not make a legend.

Nor does aging and forgotten.

Now you're just being cruel about Noel.

Very definitely not. It has a booking policy.

But sometimes bands are booked by Michael where there's no suitable slot on the stages he's been thinking of when he's booked them, and somewhere has to be found for them. In the past few years, this has resulted in some acts ending up on Jazzworld that wouldn't be there otherwise.

Jazzworld does what it can to resist these acts, but it's Michael's festival and not theirs.

[eFestivals]

Ha! Love it! =)

No, there's room at the festival for both Armatrading AND Noel - both give a lot of pleasure to a lot of people and that's all that's important.

If and when Noel can play guitar even a tenth as good as Joan you'd maybe start to have a point.

[Langdale Wolf]

Now you're just being cruel about Noel.

He could play the Bandstand

[The Nal]

He could play the longdrops down near Michaels Mead. I went there every morning last year for a poop de jour and could've done with the entertainment. He could sing Go Let It Out all morning as people drop their Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

[brabs]

Too soon for Noel in my opinion.

He needs to get his solo stuff out there first. He's probably got a load of stuff ready to go but it needs airing before he plays it live anywhere.

Also believe that Oasis needs to be put to bed now, don't get me wrong I am a huge fan but I wouldn't like to see either brother take the songs on themselves. Maybe in the future but not right now. I know Noel does them well (better than the recordings in some cases), but let it be and move on.

[eFestivals]

Utter, utter nonsense, I'm afraid - technical ability has no direct relation to inspiration.

Otherwise it would be Joe Satriani and Steve Vai in the history books and not the Sex Pistols, Nirvana, The Strokes, Noel Gallagher and whoever else has touched lives whilst lacking the ability to play augmented minor seveth arpeggios behind their back...

Don't be ridic!

The point I was making, from how it's happened in the past, was that you might see the likes of (using your lists) Joe Satriani and Steve Vai on the Jazzworld stage but far from likely to see the Sex Pistols, Nirvana, The Strokes, or Noel Gallagher.

This is exactly why I'm saying that I can't see Noel playing Jazzworld.

I'm not saying it out of any personal snobbery, he simply doesn't fit for the sorts of acts they have there.
