Leftfield

[Grimmy]

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

Ahh, I really hope Bragg's set finishes before Muse!

[Grimmy]

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!

Mr Bragg will confirm the line up tomorrow, so says his website

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.

Jeez, had my hopes up there for a second. Thanks a bunch!

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

Reverend and the makers.

Frank turner.

Carlos.

Sound.

[Spindles]

Will be there for "how we beat the BNP".

I don't suppose my suggestion of "with a ferkin great stick" will be all that original.

Ive never been to the Leftfield before and with all it's political nature, does it not get slightly 'heated' when the debates are on?

[Macca3031]

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.

[Greenish]

yes, the debates can get heated. if you try just one i'd recommend one with tony benn participating - an excellent orator, whether you agree with him or not.

Just the caberet to come, I always spend a fair bit of time there, even if the odd none-comedy acts in the middle are often a bit dodgy. Ed Byrne and Brendon Burns were brilliant last year!

[Phil-itfc]

hope to get in the leftfield at some point over the weekend, any idea when we'll know who will be speaking?

[puppetmode]

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.

aaaarrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh! It looks like Frank is going to clash with The XX - dammit

[CrispyRed]

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!!)
