Mumford and Sons

[marcwilson87]

This Mumford and Sons saga has more twists than Eastenders!

I am interested to see what Glastonbury do if they cancel; late replacement or promote a band? I could handle a 3 hour Nick Cave set :-)

I've heard Kasabian have been sounded out; they play Hard Rock Calling on the Saturday and would be prepared to come down for the Sunday apparently.

likewise, do you know it's against the human rights of a journalist to get given a press pass but to not also have a plus-one with it?

There is no legal duty of care towards the health of a freelancer - only employees. The freelancer has his own duty of care to himself.

Could see this happening IF and its a big IF HRC is not an exclusive

Maybe Prince could step in after his Shangri-la gig

[eFestivals]

You still have limited duty of care to contractors

it starts and ends in providing them with a safe working environment.

Any potential personal health issues remain solely with the freelancer.

I thought the National were in Rome on the Sunday?

[sinhala]

It would have to be someone that the locals have at least heard of.

Anyone got access to ME's CD collection ?

Neil Young's still in Europe!

Too soon?

Do you think he'd answer the call?

[lewiemitchell]

That would make me even LESS likely to be anywhere near the Pyramid for the headline slot... yeesh.

[zahidf]

Yeah, i think people are getting too excited. If he couldn't play glastonbury, they would have cancelled it by now to let the festival sort out a replacement.

[Vanderlyle]

Even if they are shifting people across (e.g. xx) they will need an extra band. Let's just cut a few options out.

The National, Leonard Cohen, Sigur Ros, Bruce Springstein all have gigs that night. Neil Young is in town but seems unlikely.

Blur and Kasabian are around and gigging. So are The Killers and Stone Roses. Out of those four I can only see Stone Roses as a possibilty.

[Wooderson]

An interesting dilemma for the festival it goes without saying. One would think theyve been told by the festival to shit or get off the pot, as it were.

I reckon they'll play Glastonbury, London, Dublin with a roadie on bass but cancel Oz and Japan.

[DeclarationOfWar]

At such a late stage surely they'd be wanting someone who can set up a reasonably easyove show in terms of the stage set? Therefore think we can rule out the likes of Daft Punk or anybody who isn't touring in the UK at the time. Kasabian, KOL, Killers, Stone Roses could easily plug their instruments in without any fancy stage and get n with it. Would be happy with any of the four but stone roses would be an absolute dream

[olive123]

I'm indifferent to this either way but be honest here, if this had all been kept a secret and they just got someone else to play his part who would actually have noticed?! I have no idea which one he is at all!

[blue6field]

After what he did last time, its never to soon!

[dentalplan]

Oh don't you even dangle that carrot, then I'd have to miss Pumpkins and Cat Power.

I never ever saw myself ever saying this but

FINGERS CROSSED FOR MUMFORD AND SONS TO HEADLINE GLASTONBURY

Ugh, I feel a bit dirty after saying that.
