'Sunset Slot'

[alfoir]

So now that U2 / Muse / Stevie is pretty much a dead cert, any thoughts / predictions for those in the sunset slot on the Pyramid? Weirdly it's probably my favourite slot of the day!

Wouldn't mind seeing Arcade Fire up there, would love it if they were before Wonder! Them Crooked Vultures would fit well before Muse but can see them playing the Other Stage if they're on the line up.

Coldplay! I think they would be awesome as the sun was setting on a besutiful warm and cider fuzzy day!!

FAITHLESS!!

[jimmyt]

I'd go for Faithless before U2, Stereophonics before Muse (guilty pleasure and, tbh, I won't mind if I miss them, which is exactly how I feel about Muse) and Jamiroquai before Stevie (surely the most obvious booking ever!!) would be about perfect. Or maybe Smokey Robinson and his Motown tribute thing from last year's electric proms.

sigur ros

[Joshuwarr]

Flaming Lips before Muse anyone?

Pixies before U2? (Bono is a huge fan)

Not sure who would work well before Stevie :S

[Craig_G]

I'm liking your Faithless/Smokey/jamiroquai choices.

[alfoir]

FAITHLESS!!

[jamseyboy]

Im going for Sterophonics before U2, Robert Plant sort of thingy before Muse and (surprise,surprise) Take That before Mr Wonder.

Lou Reed imagine him singing Perfect Day as the sun goes down...bliss!!

[Langdale Wolf]

I accept that they won't appear, but Arcade Fire would be perfect.

As would Elbow, Doves or maybe Roger Waters or David Gilmour?

Again, I know none of the above are likely.

An act I'd love to see again are The John Butler Trio, but I don't think they'd get such a prestigious slot, certainly not on the main stages, but such beautiful music would sound great as the sun went down.

Yes, please.

I'm really hoping that they'll manage to get some music geniuses/Gods along. Lou Reed is a good example, Gil Scott-Heron is another....surely we can get these guy for the 40th birthday.

What are the chances of Velvet Underground reforming? Do they still speak? Are they all still alive?

I'm thinking of 'All Tomorrow's Parties' with the sunset in the background.

[Langdale Wolf]

their all still alive

but im quite happy with my memories of 93 thank you

[Filthy]

Prince obviously

[Tugger2k]

Yes, but you're forgetting one thing.

You being a bastard.

[russycarps]
