Mumford and Sons

[Spacey]

a mate of mine who goes to a ridiculous number of gigs and is truly obsessive about his music saw NY in Newcastle the other night and said it was one of the half-dozen best gigs he has ever seen in his life. That's high praise.

[eFestivals]

i don't believe that anyone has been sounded out and I have an itchy nose about some of the claims in this thread.

Seeing him on Monday. Been waiting for him to play in the UK again since Glasto 2009

[Mud Dweller]

Radiohead

[siblin]

It just took me a full minute to work out why we would be protesting about Marks and Spencer.

[russycarps]

aren't they Abingdon-attending c***s, tho?....wasn't Yorke's dad a nuclear scientist or something?

yes, 2 fantastic sets and great band, but doesn't the above automatically disqualify them from such praise?

russycarps, show some consistency

[Vanderlyle]

Radiohead

[CaledonianGonzo]

Whereas radiohead 1997 and 2003 is still spoken about in hushed tones

[russycarps]

2011 not so much.

Bonnaroo have got Jack Johnson in to replace the Mumfords on Saturday

The fact that they've now pulled out of all their remaining shows in America seems to make it more likely that they're about to pull out....

[FloorFiller]

Oh...

[**claire**]

ha i imagine this was the attendees of Bonnaroo's reaction to the news as well, although he's pretty massive in America so i guess it kind of makes sense (just having a look, apparently his last few albums got to number one over here as well. who knew!?)

[dan05delaney]

I think its only a matter of time before they cancel..... and Jack Johnson is big in the states so not that bad a swap, would go down like a lead balloon over here though..... I wouldn't be surprised if there is an announcement early next week from the festival saying they have pulled out and announcing who is replacing them at the same time

[TheSeventhOne]

Didn't Jack Johnson sub to Stevie in 2010 or am I thinking of some other acoustic cargo shorts w*nker?

[**claire**]

I think it was Faithless before Stevie in 2010...

Oh but Jack Johnson was on before Faithless (had to check - my mind isn't as athletic as it used to be).

[bigjontour]

i had totally forgot jack johnson played that year

perhaps my memory isnt what it once was either

Eavis has been warned

[al_coholic]

Jack Johnson was excellent in 2010, great early evening act in the sun. However, he is not headline Glastonbury material

[eFestivals]

Could be worse.. could be John Jackson..

or Michael.
