Extra Bands to be added

[Stu H]

Right, now i don't believe a word the Sun prints but they do say in todays paper that the headliners are Arctics on Friday and stones on Saturday with sundays headliners still to be announced, and that Fleetwood Mac are still in the running.

I was/am hoping for Fat Freddy's Drop as they are playing in Ireland on the 22nd and in Holland on the 30th, perhaps they could knock the hell out of West Holt's in between? Please Emily!

It's over, brother, we lost.

[eoinca]

I think the only hope left now is for a Bono-style back injury to take them out of the running........

[Rumblestripe]

Where in Ireland are they playing? Would love to see them at Glasto!

[Jonny Hobbs]

So, are we expecting any more sizable additions then? Aside from the host of DJ's yet to be announced?

[Ed209]

Christ are people really that stupid. Fleetwood Mac were ruled out months ago when they announced their US tour dates. Give it up, Mumford & Sons are headlining.

[elbongo]

The Armagh Rhymers, a traditional masked song and storytelling group, are to play Glastonbury festival this summer.

Some hip hop for the pyramid

[Time Being]

Yes, for anyone doubting that Mumfords are really headlining, this Emily chat with Zane Lowe should clear things up. They spend a good chunk of the show discussing how remarkable their rise to fame has been and how it is 'their time' and whanot.

(sorry)

The Freddys are playing "Sea Sessions" at Bundoran Co. Donegal on 22nd. The banner on their website does say European Tour announcements coming soon so I'm guessing there are more dates besides the ones already in their Gig Guide?

[Wanderlei]

Looking forward to the other acts being announced. The line-up just needs a secret ingredient, then it will be awesome.

Jean Michel Jarre?

There is a very large French electronic shaped hole that desperately needs filling.

[The Nal]

Would be surprised if Gaz Coombes didnt appear somewhere

[rexclark]

I'm quite surprised Neon Neon aren't there yet. Gruff Rhys always pops up in one form or another.

Probably someone big on The Other Stage to mitigate the crowd for the stones.

[mail1234]

I'd have thought Chase and Status will do a good enough job to separate the older fest goers and the younger fest goers.

Can't see it myself - a lot of the younger crowd will go to see the stones just because of who they are if all they're missing is Chase and Status. I think a big name, dedicated fanbase type headliner is needed on the other stage to pull people away. Chemical Brothers would have been ideal imo but they did it last time

[Jack Nottm]

Gaz Coombes is a great shout, saw him supporting stereophonics just before xmas and was really good.

Anyone else want travis to appear? theyre on the v fest bill, not high up either

Bobby womack? Would bevan excellent addition and possibly one of the last chances?!
