First on stage on the Pyramid on the Friday..Aww yes

[eFestivals]

someone has mailed in and told us that Frank Turner is headlining the Avalon Stage on the Friday night, tho we haven't been able to verify if what we've been told is correct.

But nothing to suggest he may be anywhere near the Pyramid as the above poster hinted at?

nope - but from where I'm sat, the info posted in this thread has around as much likelihood of being accurate as something which is mailed to me by a person who I'm not able to verify as knowing accurate info.

I'd expect a mid-afternoon slot at the Leftfield actually if he's closing Avalon in the evening.

Thankfully will be able to see him headline Blissfields a week a later.So dont mind to much either way.

Frank Turner is perfect for chilling out. I saw him last year right after Thom Yorke i think but I could be wrong. But either way he was brilliant!

[danvb]

saw him do a song in the left field tent for the round up on the saturday i think,really good live,was funny to hear bragg baggin on him for leaving the festival to go in a friends jazuci!.

Would love to catch him at strummerville,finally found it last year and didnt even mean to,just strolled into the entrance and there it was!.

[Red Day]

Has this been confirmed anywhere??

[cabbott]

My friend met him after a gig last night in Plymouth, and he said something along the lines of: the organisers dont like me very much, but would happily play if asked! Make of that what you will! His set in the Queens head last year was definitely a highlight for me so I really hope he's playing again.

[chappiepunk]

Im seeing him in Sydney in 2 weeks, if I get a chance i'll ask him for you

[happinessisawarmgun]

Frank's not on the bill :-(

Maybe he'll play leftfield?

[DeanoL]

Leftfield headliners are on the list. Although, last year he wasn't on the announcement, then was added in an hour later. Doubting that will happen two years in a row though!

It was me that sent the note to Neil recently about Frank playing Friday on the Avalon.

I am very good friends with two people who would know. One of them was with me for the weekend recently and he said Friday night on the Avalon, then when there was talk of him opening the Pyramid on a thread on these forums I checked in with him and he said then that nothing was confirmed at all at that point.

Not really sure where that takes us, it seems odd that all of the stage line ups are listed but not the Avalon stage, is it possible that they are still tying it all up?

I'll check in with my friend again in a mo.

I know you'll want to know my source but its not appropriate to say, I'm just asking you to trust that I am genuine on this.

Thursday night maybe?

[DeanoL]

He didn't headline LF last year. I think he was on just before Billy Bragg.

[Captain_conehead]

Could be on the Park as one of the special guests maybe?

[Wanderlei]

True, but no-one wanted Bragg's spot as it might have/ did clash with the England game

[marcwilson87]

It says Frank Turner has been updated on the rumours to 'SR' on Friday - Guess Neil must have some reason to believe he is still going to play

[fuzzylogic]

I really hope he does end up headlining Avalon on Friday, as none oft other headliners interest me
