Special Guests

[PaulDavis]

Brandon Flowers?

[jump]

yeah but in 2009 them crooked vultures were announced as special guest. now if they aren't massive i don't now what is! and they played 6th on NME.

[JWC126]

James Blake is a good shout.

[SoTheSagaBegins]

Colonel Gadaffi.

[JWC126]

I'm hoping for Brandon Flowers, Mumford (big long shots but I can dream) or Miles Kane.

I'm so intelligent that I thought Special Guests were a band, I thought "now there's a clever name". Somebody mentioned Kele, he was just brilliant last year, one of the highlights for me, I've never been able to see Bloc Party so that was really special. Also I saw a FFAF mention, I saw them the week that Tales Don't Tell Themselves came out and they were awesome because they only played 2 songs from that album and stuck mostly to the classics, History still stands as one of the best songs I've ever seen live. I'd be pretty pleased if they played but I'd have to check out their new albums which I'm dubious about, big fan of Causally Dressed and Hours but not so much Tales Don't Tell Themselves. I wouldn't really like Mumford and Sons, their gig was a bit of a nightmare for me last year, I'm not their biggest fan to say the least, but they would be very popular.

Didn't someone say The Rifles self confirmed? I think it be Magnetic Man. I also expect Miles Kane and Frankie and The Heartstrings to be announced for low NME or Festival Republic stage.

An audience with Charlie Sheen.

i've got a feeling it could be someone like the kooks, new albums a little bit "rockier" then the last one and playing rock am ring too so perhaps

Doubtfull, they haven't been booked in years and doubt they would be booked now when no one gives a shit about them any more.

[jump]

i still think a lot of people love them, classics like seaside, sofa song and naive will not be forgotten for a while epsecially from my age group, and the new album is very good IMO

[jazz565]

Well they lost over 3 million fans in the space of 2 years and R&L couldn't be bothered to book them at their peak so doubt they would now.

[jump]

they played R&L at there peak? like 2006 i think or something, they fit the R&L demographic but you never know

[jazz565]

w/e you say, you may not think they will, but i do.

You thought the same thing about Jamie T and look how that turned out.

A Vfest type band that R&L have lost intrest in wouldn't be booked in a spot lower than the one they played last time when they have sold millions of records and people have lost intrest in since.

[jump]

Jamie T subbed the NME tent two years ago and played two years before that, the only reason why you say that he is a "Vfest" band is because he played there last year, festivals share bands!

[grgcmnng]

Does anyone think it could be the Dead Weather, what with The Kills playing the same day?

[jc87]

Jack White has a side project with Danger Mouse at the moment so doubt it's Dead Weather.

[cheeseisamazing]

Could be a soni band. SUM 41 or gallows?

FFers anyone?

[mrtourette]

I doubt Jack White would play two sets in the same day and I also doubt that the Dead Weather would play that low.
