Dizzee Rascal on before U2 ?

[ivan]

I just thought that if U2 bring a couple of lights and lots of halo's with em they may need a

bit of tim to fire em up , making Rammstein unlikely to be on before em.

So I reckon they may have Dizzee and his one or 2 Mc's playing in front of the proverbial

curtain.

Or I could be taking rubbish !

Dizzee might ensure a half-decent crowd for U2.

Are Rammstein playing then? & no Whitesnake again, I take it?

some thing like that would make sense but that would mean coherant organising and i am sure that has never happened

[Jonny Hobbs]

It makes sense and i for one would be pleased to watch a bit of Dizzie before U2. I still think him headlining the Other Stage is a more likely outcome though.

Generally the headliner's lighting/video kit gets installed the night before, and is then brought into position/uncovered during the changoever.

It's a very slick operation. The following band's kit is set up behind the black backdrop, some of it on risers so it can be wheeled into position.

Then there's two parallel systems, A and B, for routing audio. This goes right up to the 'mixing tower', where there are two desks, A and B, with smaller master desk sat between the two. Some bands even have their own desks/effects racks up there too. So one system can be prepped whilst the other is in use.

And if all that doesn't keep things to schedule, there's always the ultimate sanction for an overrunning band - switch them off!

Bono is drafting in God to set up the lights and sound so it should be fine thinking about it.
