shangri la lineup

[rexclark]

it's my belief that it's going to be an unusual duet, so 'guests' would be right.

[LondonTom]

No, they're in the US on the Friday...

[eoinca]

My hopefulness made me forgot that

[Al2006]

I'd guess that some people are going to get to know who the guests are, cos if I have others will too - but I don't think word of them tends to get around as widely as The Park guests often seem to.

[DJL]

Wasn't the superstar special guest, we are not worthy (farm) Jarvis? The stage times for the late night areas seemed to be all over the place so to see the guest you'd have had to wait a while in dada... Which was pretty average when we were there...

[Al2006]

But Neil said it was an unusual duo? Shed any light on this Neil? And who they rejected?

[formed a band]

Thom yorke was rejected by someone and justice were there with other ed bangers. Not many realised though

[rexclark]

Unless Justice flew back from the USA for a gig which no one knew about I highly doubt Justice were there. I'm not saing it's impossible but highly unlikely.

I did hear it was supposed to be Jessie J and Tiny Tempah but obviously because of Jessie J's injury they couldn't do it.

Shangri la tweeted on sat afternoon that Jesse j was to play club dada that night. We were at club dada at 1 am when three guys in White cloaks and shades came on to a fairly large crowd expecting them to remove cloak and shades to reveal themselves as some superstar band haha. The crowd quickly scarpered when they realised the band were shite and no 'superstars'.

We asked security about special guests and he just said the stage was running behind schedule.

Does any1 know who the band were b4 the band mentioned above?

Hey sorry if you've already posted.. but who were the superstar guests? And also who did they reject?

One of the venues in the late night corner of the site turned down Thom Yorke for a DJ set - that was the rejection, tho it sounds like he found somewhere else to let him play. I wouldn't give the name in advance because I knew Radiohead were playing The Park, and saying about this would have just about given it away.

The other guests for the late night corner of the site that I was told in advance of the fest were....

1. Wu Tang Clan on Friday night, tho at the time I was told it wasn't firmed up. I'm guessing that what resulted was one of them playing in Bassline Circus on the Friday (I've read posts on here about that).

2. Tinie Tempah & Jessie J together, on Saturday night. This had been firmly arranged when I was told about it, but since those arrangements had been made Jessie had broken her leg, so they weren't sure it would happen. I've no idea if it did - does anyone know?

3. Fatboy Slim in Bez's on Saturday. Fatboy doing a secret set? Never!

Ah cool thanks for te reply it's always interesting to know this stuff! Ends up that none of the special guests really interested me this year (which is good as I didn't see any!..) but thom Yorke would've been good
