The Strokes, Blondie, Orbital, Squeeze

[TheSeventhOne]

All playing the Isle of Wight. Any chance we'll get them?

[crimsonking]

You forgot Pink and Jay-Z also confirmed

[Guest musiclove123]

Lets hope so!

[TheSeventhOne]

Don't think there's any chance of Jay-Z coming back so soon

[Block]

The Strokes headlining the other stage maybe? Hope so!

I'd be quite happy if any of them played Glastonbury.

[Glastoboy]

I'd be quite happy if any of them played Glastonbury.

The Strokes playin would be canny good but they need to get their finger out and get a new album recorded.

Having just logged on to eFests and read this story I was thinking along the same lines. Timing & proximity etc.

I was talking to someone at this year's Glasto who had a backstage pass and they said that Squeeze were rumoured to be doing a secret set somewhere on the Sunday but wouldn't say any more. Never heard any stories afterwards that it happened so perhaps it didn't. Anyway, always loved Squeeze and would love to see them somewhere suitably intimate. Possibly even an acoustic set? I can hope I suppose.

The Strokes playing would be awesome. Hopefully headlining the Other Stage on Friday night. Should mean there will finally be a new album out next summer. Wouldn't be surprised if a few of them played solo shows as well. I don't really like Julian's new album but a bit of Albert Hammond Jr would go down nicely in my book.

I can see both Blondie and Squeeze playing slots on the Pyramid. Would love to see Blondie. For some reason I don't think Orbital will play, but I'd love it if they did.

The Strokes followed by Muse would be perfect on the Pyramid.

[Memory Man]

Come on Orbital!! Please.

Oh and strokes would be a no brainer for the other stage as they would pull a very sizeable crowd vs any Pyramid Headliner.

These two and i would be very happy, But then where would that put the chemicals i suppose if orbital were to play they'd headline other stage so it will be one or the other of chemicals/orbital?

[Redwinevino]

Chances for the Strokes has come up now for sure

[VCK]

The fact they're headlining Isle Of Wight definitely increases The Strokes' chances of playing, since they're obviously about in June 2010. Other Stage headliners Friday please, Mr. Eavis. Thanks.

[Vieuphoria]

i would enjoy seeing The Strokes, Pink, Blondie and Orbital.... so any would be good fo rme.

[sammysundae]

i'm not sure what this means for the strokes. i guess it makes it more likely. but not likely by any stretch. for example, pixies last year looked like a dead cert for glasto cos of IoW. one thing that people seem to be overlooking is that as good as confirms orbital!!! wicked

[ajt]

blondie would be great and the strokes would be brilliant before muse this looks like its going to be a very good lineup (so far) if it happens

[Bort]

I'm guessing The Strokes headline the Other stage during an "oldies" headliner or playing the Pyramid right before a headliner.

You do realise that you've contradicted yourself there, right?

If this really is going to be a best of the last 40 years line up then Orbital headlining the other stage has to be pretty nailed on. I'm sure I went to their "last ever" Glasto performance a few years ago though!

[.jay.]

spesh with the whole neil young playing both last year.

[danbailey80]

I'd be surprised if Orbital didn't play...40th anniversary and were rumored to play last year...surprised they aren't discussed more..
