Underworld.

tbh theyve only got one good song that of course being born slippy, the rest of their music is terrible so i would rather they didnt play. i just dont understand how theyre so famous of the back of one song. my mate saw them at glade a couple of years ago and said they were v disappointing and he was a big fan of theirs up until then

Got to be the former? Surely no one could think Born Slippy is their best track?

[pinback]

that's either a well observed pastiche of the ill informed posts that often appear on these pages, or you are being serious.

As much as I love Underworld, I don't think they are big enough these days to headline t'other stage.

I'll be absolutely made up if they are playing though, but I don't want them to clash with U2

The whole Born Slippy thing is mainly because that's the 'Underworld' track - the one tha gets put on all the dance compilation CD's so I think that's why people will judge it be their 'best' track, where in reality it's just the most well known.

[Memory Man]

can see them second headlining the other.

they're too big for the peel, maybe east dance at a push but i think that'd be a nightmare as well. other if they play.

I think they could headline Other Stage easily even these days. Maybe I'm just biased as watching them in 1999 is still one of my best Glasto memories (it's actually one of my best life memories - I enjoyed it that much) and could imagine they'll pull in a good crowd, dependent on who's on in the Dance Village, JP or Park at the same time.

Surely if the worry is that whoever is on won't be able to compete with U2 then that includes everyone else playing over the course of the weekend doesn't it? Someone has to be on at the same time!

For me, this is the best Underworld track of the last five years:

Imagine listening to this whilst watching a Glastonbury sunset.

[Funky Jim]

I don't care when they play I just really hope they do!

Not seen them ever, and missed them twice at Glasto in the 90s except to hear Karl say "thank you and good night"

Although IMO they were at their best in later 90s I liked some of their new stuff last year

[James Bolivar]

Underworld are OK, but Freur were much better - any chance they'll reprise Doot Doot?

two further things have cropped up today which indicate the presence of Underworld at Glasto this year....

Firstly, the latest Steve Hillage mailer says when referring to the System 7 set on the Spirit of '71 stage...

Our sound will be specially mixed by John Newsham of Funtion One (Underworld's sound engineer)

And then there was something on 6music where one of the DJs said they'd be at Glastonbury this year.

Saw them at Brixton late last year and they were on top form so fingers crossed!

Could they be one of the Park special guests?

Anything is possible, but I personally doubt it for no particular reason.

I would love it if they are. Incredible live.
