What about the so called announcment

[dan05delaney]

Samies. Though if I get into them between now and then, could have a dose trying to get other people to pick them over U2.

[bulb]

Deal.

That is if this is all true. Could be a big fabrication.

YEEEEEEES

The Flaming Lips are right at the top of my wish list.

that's after Thom Yorke obviously

[jenks55]

Not really familiar with the flaming lips, i'm a little young i think! Any album suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not massively keen on going to see U2.

[DIsForDylan]

she said No, but you're closer timeline wise.. I was dancing to these guys when I was 16.. I'm now 30. it could be any band, doubt if theyre big enough to be on other stage at same time, wha about haha i dont know

If this is true, Russycarps is going to shoot his load.

He's a fan. He might have mentioned this before.

[DIsForDylan]

haha ok so it is them! wow, i love u2, yet i'd give it up to just see do you realize? Although theyre at pukkelpop...any other announcements to make miss b?

Well if you are a fan of Pink Floyd then they have just done a cover of the whole of Dark Side of the Moon with Peaches (God I LOVE her) and Henry Rollins.

Otherwise I would recommend 'Yoshimi battles the pink robots' as a more recent and popular choice.. but they have been around for a long long time and have done lots of great stuff in varying styles.

They also put on one of THE best stage shows EVER.

i.e.

[Langdale Wolf]

Well, we'll see, I heard a thing, the thing may be true.. Personally I bloody hope so!

[ampersand]

Well I hope so. I won't miss U2 for anyone, but I hope they play for many folks who love them.

[Langdale Wolf]

at the minute, i'll be with you getting lectured about being a bad human being by bono for a few minutes. hopefully the tents give something epic though. like band of horses

take it you're choosing u2 over anyone?

[Zacko]

The Flaming Lips eh? Fantastic. Horrible clash but I think I might just pick the Lips.

[MEGABOWL]

Oh pleasepleasepleaseplease let this be true. I'm not bothered about U2, but do intend to see Muse and Stevie.

I can see it actually, would be a logical counterpoint to U2, a good slot for them, and they are due a return. Yes. Makes sense. Will happen.

[mwillo]

what about The Black Crowes

i would love that

[ciderboy]

ffs, well sad about this clash if true

seen the lips few times over the years and are 1 of my favourite bands but never seen U2 and they were my fav band years ago

[thelizardking]

I think I prefer Black Lips to Flaming Lips, I mean, if the announcement is to have lips in the name..

[sammysundae]

LOL! This was one of the comments from people who'd bought it:

"What a fantastic product! I have one in my house. I live alone with my dog so there are a lot of unused empty holes, but if I ever do marry and have children I have holes ready for them in this snuggly slanket".

Loof Lirpa, Gulli Bull Town - Apr '10

Who'd be nuts enought to marry that?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[russycarps]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

please let this be true!

the lips 2003 show was the greatest ever glastonbury performance.

Of course they should be headlining the pyramid, but headlining the other is fine. No band on the planet could follow them on stage.

For those wondering on what album to check out, sadly they dont play their old stuff anymore (and it is a shame as their old stuff is wondrous)

All you have to do is pick up the album The Soft Bulletin and you will understand everything. It is the best album of the 90s.

Also pick up Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, and particularly check out "Do You Realize??", the most perfect song ever written.

Their lastest album, Embryonic, is also sensational. Trippy, Syd Barret era Pink Floyd like psychadelia.

Oh and their live show is unmissable. Put the likes of muse, who people here seem to think are the "best live band EVER", utterly to shame.

This will be the greatest thing to happen at glastonbury since 2003

Oh cool..The Flaming Moes...

Wayne always reminds me of David Koresh, so I am always a little on edge when I listen to them as I expect some sort of cult to take possession of my mind and whisk me off to some farm in deepest USA to be shot and burned alive...

Anyway

Russy! I could not be more happy for you!

[Messiah Jason]

Arses, U2/Flaming Lips is a mega clash for me if it's true

[rexclark]

If The Flaming Lips lash with U2 I will be a very happy man, I love The Flaming Lips and they'd be a great alternative to U2, if it turns out not to be true I'm sure I'll just find someone else to watch.

[ciderboy]

Was'nt too clued up with the Flaming Lips but after watching that clip, in my limited opinion they definitely are not awesome! Nice tight band but awesome, no.
