Park Special Guests

[laps100]

I really cant see Jarvis and Hawley playing together without the rest of the band. I do think we may see Jarvis in the Dance village with Discodeine (if they play).

why not? They both played with Duane Eddy in London about 6 months ago.

Hawley isn't actually even in the 'new' Pulp line-up, but he and Jarvis still collaborate

It'll blatently be Hard-Fi.

[let's 'ave it!!!]

I reckon it's gonna be Brandon Flowers, he's in the country at the time, would seem strange if he didn't play at all.

word I had a while back said that Glasto defo wasn't in his schedule. I guess it's possible that something has been arranged since then tho.

There will be Special Guests. Definitely.

I do believe that you are near the mark as regards to something like Jarvis and one other band member. Likewise maybe Brett Anderson and guitarist ect. This is far more likely than REM turning up. Thom an Johnny have set what i believe will become a benchmark for Special Guests at the Park. I think you'll see at least one solo/ duo from a band. Looking forward to finding out.....

[tom1989]

it could be the strokes,theyve just been announced as playing in norway the week after glasto so will be in the nearby(ish) area. i know theyre exclusive headliners to R&L but if theyre a special guest then theyre not headlining so would be able to get round the exclusivity deal. Albert Hammond jr. also said theyd love to play so i can see them popping up as a special guest on the fri or the sat. fingers crossed anyway!

Doesn't rule out Stipe and Mills though.

[george424]

It'd be great but it's extremely unlikely. REM are too knackered to tour their new album so I doubt half the band would travel here to do a secret set.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Yeah but Thom and Johnny don't live in the US!

[DeanoL]

I'm sceptical but this article is sort of interesting:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/mar/09/rem-collapse-into-now

They're not doing a big tour as it's exhausting, and they don't want to do the same thing they've done before. But they haven't ruled out live shows entirely. So an acoustic set might actually make sense.

Further evidence - as one commenter points out, Stipe now has an Eavis-style beard.

Now it's been confirmed Discodeine are there as well as Duane Eddy, I'm pretty certain Jarvis will be there...

Graham Coxon park stage... special guests 3 slots later.

Anything to be read into this?

[budvar]

I'll take an early punt at Pulp on The Friday and M.I.A on the Saturday...

I'd like to see a Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler acoustic set, but I reckon the chances of that are the square root of feck all.

I'm guessing you're implying Blur. Given how wonderful 2009 was I don't think there's a chance. Given how Gorrilaz went down I'm not sure Albran will ever come back...
