[radiohea_d]

SUCH good news! I was worried it would be Coldplay after all the rumors.

EAVIS YOU SLY GENIUS!

[fdc]

WOOHOO!

[st dan]

Im very pleased with this booking. I think they will be fantastic.

There are bound to be lots of collaborations, as that is what they are all about.

Here's a list from all three albums they have to date, where they have songs with other performers.

Obviously they wont play them all, and i dont know who a lot of the collaborater are, or arent too

familiar with all the songs, but here goes:

Demon Days:

Kids With Guns (feat. Neneh Cherry)

Dirty Harry (feat. Bootie Brown & Children's Choir of San Fernandez)

Feel Good Inc (feat. De La Soul)

November Has Come (feat. MF Doom)

All Alone (feat. Roots Manuva & Martina Topley-Bird)

Dare (feat. Shaun Ryder)

Fire Coming Out Of The Monkeys Head (feat. Dennis Hopper)

Demon Days (feat. The London Community Gospel Choir)

Gorillaz:

Re-Hash (feat. Miho Hatori)

Clint Eastwood (feat. Del tha Funkee Homosapien)

Rock The House (feat. Del tha Funkee Homosapien)

19-2000 (feat. Miho Hatori and Tina Weymouth)

Latin Simone (feat. Ibrahim Ferrer)

Plastic Beach:

Orchestral Intro (feat. sinfonia ViVA)

Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach (feat. Snoop Dogg and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble)

White Flag (feat. Kano, Bashy and The Lebanese National Orchestra for Oriental Arabic Music)

Stylo (feat. Bobby Womack and Mos Def)

Superfast Jellyfish (feat. Gruff Rhys and De La Soul)

Empire Ants (feat. Little Dragon)

Glitter Freeze (feat. Mark E. Smith)

Some Kind of Nature (feat. Lou Reed)

Sweepstakes (feat. Mos Def and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble)

Plastic Beach (feat. Mick Jones and Paul Simonon)

To Binge (feat. Little Dragon)

Cloud of Unknowing (feat. Bobby Womack and sinfonia ViVA)

How many of these are likely to be there? Considering a few are at Glasto over the weekend themselves (Mos Def, Snoop, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble) And they will put on a show like they have never done before. They will want it to be very special.

Somehow can't see them playing Glitter Freeze with guest vocalist Mark E. Smith...

[Al21]

Chase & Status and Fatboy Slim it is.

Yawn. Early night for me Friday.

[jbutcher]

Haha, just looking at the facebook comments to the announcement. They can literally be summarised by

Amazing!

Shite!

Brilliant!

Is this a Joke!

Amazing!

w*nk!

Awesome!

Terrible!

......

[scaryclaireyfairy]

fair play - good effort the Eavii - never going to get someone as big as the previous incumbents

decent result IMO

[Twinkle_14]

Made Up

[bombfrog]

Awesome!

Didn't want to get my hopes up when I saw the rumour but I am seriously chuffed about this. I'll be even more chuffed if the fantastic Mr Womack, Del La Soul, Mos Def, Shaun Ryder, Little Dragon, Snoop Dogg etc. join them too. The very definition of a supergroup!

I'm sure there will be moans from some but they'll do a fantastic job and the dissenters will no doubt be eating humble pie afterwards.

I have a question.

I loved TGTBATQ. Will I like Gorillaz? I only know a few tracks from their debut album and think it's quite good.

[twig14]

Excellent booking. Not sure if I'm happy or annoyed seeing as I've already spent £50 on seeing them in September though. Hoping that Mos Def might get moved to an earlier slot now so I can see both.

Of those realistically rumoured only Paul McCartney would have been better I reckon anyhow.

XX it is.

Underwhelming choice. Can't help but feeling there is a big pot on gold in the Glasto coffers - hope we hear about a bid donation going to Water Aid soon.
