I just read the Van Halen article and this made my day Always wanted to see Van Halen but have never had the chance if they did decide to book them then surely it would be a bit of a struggle if they ended up cancelling their dates. Like they tend to do alot.

I think that rule normally follows, but personally I think that if noel is playing he's going to demand a sub/high slot

I think subbing the pyramid would be perfect for him, good crowd and somewhere confutable.

Plus I don't think he's THAT similar to arctic monkeys.

[Gnomicide]

Sorry self indulgent but this very clip got me into festivals, namely donnington mor , never looked back since. DLR has got the patter you must admit

[MEGABOWL]

Band of Horses, unfortunately, won't be playing. Green Man exclusive

I was there, my first festival. To be fair, VH were far too self indulgent. Each band member got a solo spot, oddly enough DLR's sword solo was better than Michael Anthony's bass solo.

Motley Crue were the band of the day.

I know I will get slammed for even suggesting it, but how about Alicia Keys as a surprise booking?

Fits into my would never pay to see but would watch if I'm doing nothing else list.

But can't see it as headliner.

[Jackson1990]

Okay, I doubt kraftwerk are exclusive to T.

Why wouldn't Bugg and Two door play mainstage?

[Vanderlyle]

Don't know if this has already been covered further back in this thread - but in the Stones thread there's some guys who were at a Q&A with ME last night and quoted him as saying:

"Al he's got his back up band ready to go if this years headliner does not come though. Was pressed a few times from the interviewer but gave nothing away. Said he was told by His daughter to not speak about headliners. "

Not much there - other than "back up band". So, assuming we're still talking about the Stones, it would be Mumford, or Pulp or Radiohead rather than Kanye, or Dizzee, or Florence waiting in the wings.

[eFestivals]

Someone who should know what's what is saying that Mumfords are headlining this year.

However, he's not got a 3rd headliner at all, which is odd - cos I'd very much expect him to be saying Arctics. So I'm not sure how much faith I can have in the Mumfords thing.

[eFestivals]

So are you saying your contact is implying it's (in no particular order) Mumford, Stones, AN Other (when he should be saying Arctics?)

yeah.

But he'd only be right saying Arctics if they are actually playing of course. While I think they very probably are, I'm still not certain.

I've wondered for a while if Mumfords might be set to play before the Stones* (and Michael has supposedly said he has a back-up in place if the stones don't play after all), but then I'd have thought they might have been switched to Sunday when Fleetwood Mac said they couldn't play after all.

(* that would be as a repellent ... it would stop the crowd building up too much in advance)

So anyway, I'm none the wiser really on 2013.... which makes it so very odd that I know all three acts that Michael has lined up for 2014.

All the talk of the Arctic Monkeys headlining, is there any possibility they may be lower down the bill or headlining Other?

When they headlined in 07, they were off the back of 2 platinum selling albums. Since then, they have has 2 No 1 albums, but not platinum, and haven't had a Top 20 hit for 4 years. Maybe their star is burning out and these are the back-ups for headliners if needed?

[zahidf]
