Robbie Williams!

[MilkyJoe]

Cool. At the risk of losing the HUGE board cred I've gained over the years, I actually have my fingers crossed for this.

Not that far apart. Now, if you were saying the London Philharmonic followed by Anal C**t, I'd agree with you.*

Robbie Williams (well, his music) is a guilty pleasure. I'd definitely go and watch him and have a singalong.

*Disclaimer - please be aware that I am not saying RW is anywhere near the talent and genius of SW, nor that I'd look forward to him anywhere near as much!

[THEBOILERMAN]

IF THIS IS TRUE THEN THANK F**K THAT THERE ARE SO MANY ALTERNATIVES.

RW JUST SICK AND WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[IamChappu]

Don't own anything by Robbie & wouldn't normally choose to see him live or anything but saw him when he played Glastonbury before & was pleasantly surprised. Seemed to me a very good entertainer & really got the crowd going.

Not sure if I'll bother going to see him again though - as with all acts announced so far it all depends what else is on at the same time!

[Langdale Wolf]

If it came about that he was to play......

I would be there like a shot.

Also for Take That.

I think he is an entertainer and that's what draws me

Same with Take That

Music snobbery aside from the 90's when I would laugh...Oh I would laugh when my female friends all creamed to the boys and followed them around like sheep (one in particular who did more than just followed them )

Now in my elder statesman years I appreciate a good show and they give a good show.

I always sing Strudder's name to "Strutter" by Kiss in my head. For the record.

I'll watch RW. My wife likes him. I've told I'll watch him, unless there is something else that I'm particularly bothered about.

[Pinhead]

something good has come out of it though

i hadnt dug up world party for ages and the whole back catalogue is on spoitfy

thats me for the day

bringing back some lovely memories of a blisteringly hot friday in 94, lazing in the sunshine while Karl did his thing.

[In transit]

As someone who probably won't be watching Stevie this doesn't actually bother me at all - will certainly clear the site of dross for a nice hour and a half.

All you Wonder fans though... I feel your pain.

Remeber their '94 appearance fondly

Didn't he (or his record company), get totally sued by Karl for ripping off this track without their concent as well at the time?

He also got sued later on again didn't he by one of his old mates who turned out to have written another of his 'signature' songs . . .

Pattern here?

I was hoping the pre-stevie slot would really impress me and make me want to go see stevie cos I am in two minds(not really my thing, would be ok for an hour but don't know still if I will enjoy the whole set). Damn you robbie, ..I'd enjoy rock dj and that's it

[Langdale Wolf]

Not really. Other artists who have been sued in such a way include George Harrison, The Verve, Coldplay, Led Zeppelin - there's loads of them.

[Ed209]

Has Robbie still got the kahunas for such a high profile gig? Doesn't he shit his pants before going on stage these days?

I love giraffes!

Hopefully God sees fit to "do a Kylie" on him between now and june.

[Mr Ploppy]

good grief. This has to be some kind of a sick joke, right?

Why on earth would this monumental cockcobbler be anywhere near this festival?

Russy - your put downs are usually quite witty (if I'm in agreement with them or not) but that's out of order mate.

Steady on, eh?

[plaskins]

I think this is a load of bull****, personally.

[Langdale Wolf]

im with him on the illness thing, just a severe case of laryngitis will do me tho, no need for the big C!

[sifi]

I can see why people don't like RW, but don't think this line of argument is the strongest when trying to criticise him.

He is a disgusting human being.

Nope. Happy with what I said and stand by it 100%. Giraffes? Yes please. No guilt here.

Considering the crowds for Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen over the last few years, the Pyramid Stage would be rammed, 80k+ for Robbie Williams. I like him actually, wouldnt really listen to him or anything but hes harmless.

If we start talking about Kanye West, well now, thats a different story.
