Can eFests collectively guess the TBCs?

[pjadnoo]

There are loads of guesses as to this years' unconfirmed acts going around, but the two recent TBCs seemed not to have been guessed by anyone (Shakira & Dead Weather).

Was just wondering if collectively we can get (at least one or two) right... i.e. not those you hope are on there, but who you think will be on there.

I've tried to collect the guesses from the other threads for this poll. The two 'other's on the end are in case I've missed someone.

What happened to Andy Williams?

I meant in general, thought he was a cert

Ah... yeh, same with Robert Plant . He looked like a definite and has now dropped off the radar which is a massive shame.

[Zacko]

Went for Thom Yorke, Rolf Harris and Madness.

[LondonTom]

Gone for Coldplay, Gorrilaz and Rolf, tbh I haven't a clue but they seem likely

[elbongo]

Coldplay (I hope not)

Gorrilaz (pfff!)

Hawkwind (Unless someone knows something for sure about them not playing I am surprised their not a dead cert). Also (ffs!)

[bezza18]

I swear i read the chemical brothers had self confirmed and madness were written as confirmed on the bbc website before the lineup was out so surely they are there? i hope they have a few surprises for us. i definately didnt see the TBA's on saturday being shakira and the dead weather.

Does this defo just leave the stage openers TBA for the mainstage now?

[Vieuphoria]

I went for

Fri: Coldplay

Sat: Them Crooked Vultures

Sun: Atoms For Peace

[Bort]

I know the secret sets are kept secret, but will they have the information posted in the press tent, at least?

I want Thom Yorke or Atoms for Peace

[Douzeper]

Coldplay, Keane and Blondie

Not sure why I stuck Keane in there, think it was my Spidy senses.

[TazOnSpeed]

Coldplay, Rolf and Madness for me...

I also think they all could play, but would be surprised the most if Coldplay didn't play.

I can't help but feel this TBA guessing is getting abit out of control and unrealistic. Granted it is the 40th anniversary but do people really believe that an act as big as Coldplay/ Gorillaz/ Paul McCartney would play the opening slot on the pyramid stage for 30 minutes??

You are all just building yourselves up for a massive disappointment and more threads about 'how sh*t' the line-up is (not my words) when acts of these stature don't fill the TBA slots. More than likely they are TBA because they haven't yet officially booked the acts, e.g. Friday on the Other Stage, Gaslight Anthem haven't yet been replaced.

You just have to look at the Saturday afternoon TBA slots that were being built up as Biffy Clyro/ Robert Plant/ Them Crooked Vultures but announced as Shakira and The Dead Weather, cue moans about the line-up being disappointing.

Expect no bigger than the likes of Rolf Harris, anything else would be an added bonus.

From that list, I would say Supergrass are the most realistic to do a special guest slot in the park. The guys showed that they are up for playing that kind of slot last year when they played there with The Hot Rats.

[st00ka]

It's going to be Cast, Kula Shaker and the Longpigs.

[al_coholic]

Looks like its a cert for Rolf on the Friday, so that just leaves Sat & Sun which are lesser slots, so I think that would count out Coldplay now. I think Keane and possibly Blondie are a good bet

[broxyburd]

id really like keane to play!!

good festival band with good summer songs

[ampersand]

i went for coldplay, madness and rolf. not exactly special seen as they've all played fairly recently (two last year)

[Glastoboy]

It's going to be Cast, Kula Shaker and the Longpigs.

[sven mk 2]

villagers one of the sunday tbc's on the park as announced by the band on 6music

[mario man]

Hate to be penickity and the bringer of bad news, because I agreed with alot of your post, but Supergrass split up last week. I refer you to pitchfork.

[steve269]

but they are playing 4 or 5 farewell dates in early June. I know cos I'm going to one.
