Bootleg Beatles?

[MEGABOWL]

My wife doesn't like the Stones at all. However fair play to GFL for managing to fill other stages with people she likes less. I see Bootleg Beatles are down for headlining Saturday night, anyone (including, but not limited to, Neil) know anything about this? Anyone else hoping for this to happen?

[Sketchead]

They're down to headline Saturday night? Where are they down to do this? Am I not seeing the poster right?

[Ruwise]

Before the line up was announced I'm sure somebody said they were headlining the Acoustic Stage but now it looks like it's Sinead O'Connor which is a shame as she was somebody I would really like to have seen.

I still regret watching the gorillaz over the bootleg Beatles a few years back. If they are playing friday or sunday night I'm there.

Having watched Gorillaz for roughly 5 minutes we headed over to the Acoustic for the Bootleg Beatles.

It was rammed so we sat outside on the benches with a bunch of guys from Liverpool and had a great time.

OK a covers band but a very good one.

Had a great night that night. Left Gorillaz, went to the Lips, left them and headed round to the Bootlegs and sang like a motherfucker

I have seen the Bootleg Beatles a few times at Glastonbury and each time it gets more and more crowded .

Now this was not the last time { whatever the date was } but a previous time - anyway it was possible to walk in and there was even a few seats available in the ' raised seating area ' - at some point I dived out and when I came back there was a lot of yellow jackets under the seating area and they did not look happy - as I approached them I could see the problem - the back of the raised area was sinking in the ground and one side was sinking faster than the other - I am not a expert on construction but it was clear that stand was likely to tilt over - anyway they made the decision to clear the stand - not easy as the more people they got off the more people tried to sit down.

I am sure they must have considered closing it completely but they did not fancy a riot on their hand - there was even people sitting under the stand - it was a accident waiting to happen.

Cant recall the year but it had been a wet one { so lots to chose from }

can anyone recall which year that was ?

Ok, now am i really struggling to find a headliner for Sunday. I am a bit dissapointed that there is nothing as of yet with smaller stages to be announced that takes my fancy. It seems that these have dissapeared off the radar and it seems theres nothing really to close the fest with a party atmosphere for me as Kool and the gang did last time. Chic should be Sunday IMO, so the Bootlegs would have been ideal..... shame

[coma girl]

I'm in the same boat so far there's nobody I fancy on the sunday so it may just be a pottering about night for me.

Could have been 97, they headlined somewhere (the Acoustic?) and they were great. Seen as that was the year the Other nearly sank it wouldn't surprise me

in 2010, due to my shifts I crashed into bed behind the Acoustic and in line with the Pyramid and was amazed by the random syncopation of >5000 singing Beatles fans verses Gorillas bass. It was unique bliss.

[rischbrit]

Didn't even go to see Gorillaz in 2010 went straight for the acoustic and saw bootlegs. Second row from front and loved it!!!!

I'm trying to figure out what music his wife likes, if there is nothing to suit her taste on Saturday.

So just to confirm do we know if Bootleg Beatles are playing or not? And if so where and when?

[ian the worm]

Can't see them on the poster.

Every single thing in the world ever apart from the Rolling Stones, Chase and Status, Hurts, The Horrors, Public Enemy, Beverley Knight, and Sinead O Connor

[Wooderson]

I was all like this, till I saw Lucinda Williams on the bill. I'm a happy camper now.

[Mardy]

Good shout. Saw her play in the past and dug her rootsy come hither vibes.
