The Park Special Guests!

[Bisque]

Ah dam they were pretty good on the nme tour. I just much prefer the park to the dance stages

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

I nearly got tickets for this. Did they play with the massive 'cage' with the lights? They did at Reading, even though it was under a tent, it still really needs to be dark to get the full effect. They didn't when they supported Deadmau5 & even though they were really good, it wasn't quite as spectacular.

I am definitely going to go see them again.

Dont think anyone has mentioned Robert Plant and the band of Joy

As far as I can see he's free... About time he shows up again, perhaps with a certain guest guitarist??

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Gogol bordello.. Mmm

[kingmonkey1980]

theres a possibility of someone like noel gallagher doing an acoustic set whichj would be good to see, cant imagine kasabian appearing though.

[drewsstrat]

Noel told me himself he will never play at Glastonbury again, reckon Beady Eye might though.

[drewsstrat]

Thought of another; Nobody has mentioned the Manics... New album is their best for a long while I think.. And they haven't done glasto for 4 years. Just need to supply the porta potty Mike

[Wooderson]

Roy Orbison would be a superb (if contraversial) special guest, wouldnt he?

found that the special guests on the park generally tend to be bands who had not had anything out in while and are often in the middle of recording generally tend to be bands who would play high on the other stage / early evening on the main or side projects from very established bands / artists which are just getting started.

seen some great bands in the special guest slots on the park half of radiohead franz ferdinand etc they generally give you pretty easy hints in the daily paper i.e blues mans sideproject for the dead weather. I did find all the flags and flyers for biffy clyro a bit crass really wish i could have the hour back when i went see them

Plus we normally know by going on here who they are a couple of days before, the one I didn't have a clue who it would be before the actual gig was Thom & Jonny last year, but thought it was worth going cuz I didn't know who it would be, then as soon as I saw the stage setup I guessed straight away who it was - glad I went. Last Shadow Puppets, Pete Doherty, Hot Rats, Franz in previous years have been great gigs. Though they need to get Schlomo back again this year, his sets at The Park in 2008 and 2009 were brilliant!

Jay-Z will be on site with Beyonce, and does seem to feel a connection to the festival, since he headlined. Could he...?

[starknaked]

they were for me, i didn't know they'd played till i got home.

same goes for Kylie and The Edge's guest appearances.

not that i wasn't enjoying myself elsewhere, but all of those completely passed me by!

[Hard To Explain]

Mogwai

[glasto_mongrel_2008]

I dont think I'm going to speculate after last year. I was going round the crowd telling everyone it was nailed on to be Chemical Brothers after some duff advice. The looks of horror when half of Radiohead walked out caused me to flee down the hill at close to lightspeed. They were baying for blood!

[AdamSheff]

KOL????

My link

[poromenos]

they headlined the festival in the past...too big for a secret slot...

From various names i read so far,i think the 2 with more possibilities are Jay-Z(he is too big for a secret slot too...) and Kaiser chiefs

[karelaanzee]

Radiohead headlined too...

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Radiohead headlined too...

[danvb]

Noel Gallagher?

i know hes not recording or touring,but obviously is a massive draw and has the history with the festival,not performed it in a while(nice to have him and no hooligan brother acting like a chav!)

A few hits packed into a quick acoustic set mid day would be something great to catch!.
