Oh god, not K.O.L, please not K.O.L. I was really pleased the festival moved away from booking them this year, Glasto gave them their chance in 2008 and rightly so, they took it, made the step up and then they moved in the wrong direction away from the third album. They've been over exposed and they need to step back. I seen them at Reading last year, and they were one of the worst live bands i've seen.

Realistically I'd be happy with The Chemical Brothers.

Unrealistiacally I'd go for Pulp, Suede or Daft Punk.

DAFT PUNK

[JoeyDeacon]

Would Elbow be miles away from a realistic choice? I know they are in the middle of writing the new album and they have said they aren't going to do live shows this year but they have a good relationship with the festival and i'm sure they are holding out for a headline slot?

Chances?
