From Glastonbury website in areas, Leftfield:

How far have you got with booking the bill? Can you tell us any names?

I’ve started sounding people out. Can’t give you any names but I can talk about our format. We’ll be kicking off around midday with a couple of debates running until 3pm then from 4pm we’ll be inviting three or four artists to come and collaborate with one another in a hootenanny, sitting onstage together swapping songs and playing along with each other, then from 6pm we’ll have bands.

So bands from 6pm, with only 3 on it must end before the main headliners

i agree, it would be nice to see Billy...but there's the football from 730 to 930ish as well

it looks like Squeeze have been squeezed out of the lineup again...that's a shame

go on Neil...add them as a rumour for 2011! surely third time lucky!

I suspect there will be more acts like Christy Moore and others already announced for the Festival, and there will probably be four acts on from 6pm taking turns to talk and play. Expect also a 'performance circle' during the day. Some acts doing at least 2 sets plus a possible afternoon collaboration.

oh and what has been confirmed is here:

Just to let you know that the Get Up Stand Up comedy listed on there is not the one that's usually at Glastonbury. I'm tryig to find out who's organised it as it's taken us a long time to build a reputation with comedians and musicians both here and at Edinburgh.

Our Get Up Stand Up show is at Blazing Saddles stage 4-6pm on the Sunday and features Marcus Brigstocke, Isy Suttie and ends with The Beat.

I've not been before but I can imagine it being a bit sterile as surely most people there will have leftward political leanings. You're hardly likely to find a BNP supporter knocking about to fight their corner. Could be just a load of people agreeing with each other for an hour.

its a great 'drop in' tent when you are at a loose end. Always interesting music or debates or comedy going on. i'm glad it got away from the muddy mess and is in a new home although it might not fit in well there. I would have thought down near the JP stage would have been ideal.

All the stage times are now on Billy's website.

The first lot of acts GCWCF, Thea Gilmore and Lucky Soul all start at 6pm

The next set RATM, Frank Turner and King Blues all at 7.30pm

The headliners Carl Barat, Billy and Paul Heaton att at 9pm

I'm guessing they will each have about an hour

All the other times for the debates are on there as well.

(No clash between Stevie Wonder and Paul Heaton - phew!!)

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
