Elbow!

As long as its not at the expense of Pulp.

Beyonce

Pulp

Elbow

would be great - it does seem that they're about to step up this year so third from top is possibly too low but if the current rumours for subs & other Stage headliners are correct then its hard to see where else they're supposed to go.

Elbow below a reformed Pulp? Are you on crack?

They need to be on before Beyonce and do their cover of Independent Woman.

It will be the greatest thing ever.

[4AssedMonkey]

Eh? Elbow are hardly much bigger really - and Pulp surely aren't going to do anything other than sub Pyramid or headline the Other if they play?

[MEGABOWL]

Pulp were down to sub I thought, so if they do play the Sunday they would probably be before them. I would have thought Pulp would still be bigger than Elbow for the masses.

[ramragon]

Elbow can't play the Sunday as they're in Luxembourg

linky

[Vacant0]

Given Elbow's stature I would probably say the same. I have done no research whatsoever on this and may be well out, but my gut tells me (and it's not insubstantial) that by any measure you wish to apply apart from chart success for singles maybe, Elbow would be above Pulp in the pecking order. They're still writing and recording for a start.

Elbow into Arcade Fire with a brilliant headliner elsewhere would be awesome. U2 can jog on.

How brilliant would it be if U2 weren't actually playing and we ended up with Radiohead instead. Now that would be something special!

Fantastic news if true. I've only ever seen Elbow once but I was blown away. I'd love to see them again.

The Queens Head gig in 2008 was the greatest gig I have ever been to, there was genuinely tears in peoples eyes that night it was so awe inspiring. Can't wait to see them in Cambridge on 2nd march. Then glasto. I would love them to Play a smaller venue again this year like they did in 2008 but can't see that happening again. Maybe a Park secret set as well as a Pyramid slot? Oh please

well spotted, i still think friday night slot under U2 and AF would give a brilliant night

[godders1966]

No on has suggested the possibility of them playing before Coldplay on the Saturday. The 2 times I've seen them before they've played outside just as the sun was setting. It suited they sound perfectly.

with Elbow now self confirmed, getting a ticket in the resale has become more or less just as important for me as getting my degree.

failing that, anyone know anyone with a human cannon to fire me over the fence?

good luck, by all accounts there wont be many up for grabs and loads of competition for the tickets

For anybody in the Manchester Area, tomorrow night (24th Feb), there is an event on at the Kings Arms in Salford where the new album is being played in its entirety from 6 until 8 pm. Also lots of real ale and cider on offer, and some freebies apparently.

[When Jokers Attack]

Build A Rocket Boys! has leaked.

[1mills]

Hmmm Mumford & Sons before U2, so surely Elbow won't be before them.

With Primal Scream confirmed headlining the Other Stage for Friday aswell and Chemical Brothers confirmed and probably headlining the Other Stage another night (or is the fact they haven't been confirmed as headlining the Other a sign they aren't?).

Wouldn't think they'd play before Coldplay and Pulp likely for Sunday, so does it look like either headlining or possibly even subbing the Other Stage??

[Sketchead]

Mumford & Sons are on the Other Stage.
