There's a brief interview with Damon on the BBC website, talking about how the reunion healed wounds etc etc.

What got my juices flowing though were the comments from ME at the bottom about all the bands that rung up, offering to fill U2's slot (fnar, fnar). Then how he mentioned the guest stars that they have lined up to perform with Gorillaz.

I know its been discussed before but the search function isn't working and I couldn't find any other threads.

So who else do you think offered to fill in and who do you think Gorillaz will bring with them? Do you think there could be any suprises i.e people not on the albums?

Also if Shaun Ryder turns up we should have a sweep on the number of swears he uses, I reckon 15.

Although it was shot down (Slashes comments at Download) I still think one of the guests will be Jay-Z...

[FloorFiller]

why do you think it'll be Jay Z?

i really see no reason for him to come on with Gorillaz... he doesn't feature on any of their songs, and Damon has said that he's got prettymuch all of the featured guests from Plastic Beach minus Lou Reed to agree to play

Surely Mark E Smith won't turn up just to say "which way's north from 'ere?" and the odd "glitter freeze" for Glitter Freeze will he?

Will he?

Purely because of

at 1:41 or so onwards.

It was pointed out that Slash was probably mixed up or referring to another festival but im choosing to blindly believe it'll be Jay-Z doing something on Clint Eastwood.

I think they'll definately pull some sort of suprise out of the bag. I have no idea who or what it will be but I can't wait!

Jay-Z could be a good punt though

Saw Jay-Z a while ago at MK Bowl and didn't really think much to him, also Glasto doesn't really need world dominating illuminati lizard men.

Here's hope for Lou Reed!

Nice face Damon's pulling on that article!

I think suggesting any guests other than those on the album is definitely playing is jumping the gun a little. They'll probably try for all the guests on the new album and a fair few from the second one. Chances are there'll be a space for a rapper on Clint Eastwood, but who that'll be is anyone's guess. Damon may want a massive name (it is at the very end of the set afterall), or go for Tinie Tempah like he did on the Jonathon Ross show, or get Del The Funky Homosapien over to do the original rap.
