livenationuk:

There is no truth in the Dave Gilmour, Deep Purple or John Fogerty rumours.

Was that on their Twitter feed as I just checked but couldn't see that listed.

Just saw it on Last.fm.

Shame though as they would have been great for the lineup.

I'm still not sure it is Stevie Wonder but will probably be proved wrong.

Man that was just cruel at last fm.

Anyway got a few guesses for support line up, Cranberies, The Feeling and James Mccartney.

Was it? Or was it merely daft of you to think there was anything to it?

You'd have more chance of the made-up entries on wikipedia for any fest prior to its announcement being right - at least they have a history of occasionally getting the odd band right (even if it's only 1 in thousand), whereas as far as I'm aware there's never ever been a correct one written up onto last.fm.

Almost everything I bought tickets for last year was posted on Last FM a long time (week-ish) before it was announced.

I'm getting impatient waiting for more announcements now!

Does anyone know roughly what time the bands start because I won't arrive in London until about 1 on the sunday and I don't wanna miss anything

[judyblue110]

I agree Last fm have usally got it right didn't they get Kiss for download 2008 weeks before anyone , they are more reliable than strong rumours on efestivals i.e Eminem Wireless, Van Halen and Metallica Download 2010, Ac/dc Strong rumour Hardrock Calling 2009.

It did apear quite relistic with tour dates e.t.c.

[tsipouras]

me too! Fogerty is a must. it fits Paul perfectly

I have to agree that its the first time I come across a false rumour on Last.fm

we ll see. but if its not gilmour on saturday, then who?

Ozzy Osbourne confirmed for Ruisrock festival in finland: http://www.ruisrock.fi/ This probably means a European summer tour. I'd bet he is the last headliner of Sonisphere but also a possibility for HRC

This is the very first time I've heard anyone say last'fm rumours are more reliable.

We get sent what last.fm users have written into pages for nearly every fest - and I've yet to see even one act that's been right.

[tsipouras]

ozzy is a bit too heavy for HRC imo!

but who knows!

[tricky106]

They have Pearl Jam and have had Aerosmith before.

What about Ozzy with Slash as sub headliner?

[ride111]

I'd take the Livenation post with a pinch of salt. Apart from that post I can't find any other similar post on Facebook or Twitter.

[staffsknot]

Well I shall still get my info from efest as a lot of what goes on turns out true - lastfm have been wrong a lot I can tell you. There was supposed to be a lot of BB King events when he was over last year - funnily enough if I hadn't seen him at the NIA I'd have been mega disappointed as nothing turned up!

Like I said don't count your chickens until they've hatched to save disappointment.

*sigh*

Back to square 1 I guess.

Next week could be "the week".

Still hope Fogerty plays on the Sunday, or the Saturday even, he would be great.

[frankblack]

I'm booked up for Pearl Jam and Macca, and have just to arrange my travel.

Have to wait and see whats on on the Saturday, but I guess a day off to relax wouldn't do any harm.

[kaytee...]

Last year, they started at 1.45 Sat 2 Sun.

[staffsknot]

thanks

my train gets in just before 1 so i'll rush to the hotel, drop off bags and get the tube to hyde park which is gonna be ridiculously busy

[Hurricane11]

Next tuesday at 9 am they will announce saturdays headliner

[judyblue110]

Right, that means we only have 1 week left of this wild speculating/rumour spreading/random guessing fun until next year!

Opinions people!

3 acts you want/think could be headliners on the Saturday, and 3 other acts you want/think could be added as support on the Saturday/Sunday (I'd say Friday is complete, apart from the smaller stages).

Mine:

Saturday headliner:

1) Stevie Wonder

2) Simon & Garfunkel

3) David Gilmour (I know, I know, but he's my "want" to play)

Other acts:

1) John Fogerty (Sunday)

2) Crowded House (Saturday)

3) Pixies (...?!...)

Let's hear 'em!!!
