Sunday Park secret headliner?

[arcade fireman]

erm ... that's not true.

I had a number of people tell me privately here that they knew for certain that Radiohead were one of the special guests, including which day, and how exactly they knew (some of which I was able to check out and so confirm what I was being told as true). Unfortunately for people here each word I had also had me promise to not repeat it on here.

However, some of those people did post what they knew. The problem for readers here is that they were simply one rumour amongst a number of other rumours, so there was nothing to indicate what they'd posted as believable over other things.

If I'm remembering the years rightly, I'd made clear that Thom would definitely be on site to perform in at least some capacity, as i'd revealed that he'd been knocked back for a DJ-ing slot by one venue. So it wan't too difficult to join up the dots.

Hot Chip could work as they have been billed as a UK festival exclusive for Latitude, so this would be a way of them playing and getting around it.

I might have a look at their dates and member's bands to see if its possible.

Certainly the 2 bears (joe) are on site altho not listed to play on sunday. Al Doyle's band New Build are playing on Sunday so thats 2 of them potentially on site. but there like 7+ members in the live band.

it seems no band members are booked to be anywhere else on the sunday, so in theory it is possible, although unlikely. Alexis Taylor's side project play in London on the 2nd July.

To be honest if i were them I would use my contacts to get press / guest tickets and just enjoy the festival without playing!

The national? They've just announced a roundhouse gig on the Wednesday, playing Ireland on Friday but otherwise free.

What about Babyshambles? Going back on tour and Pete seems to like glasto and played on the park with that africa thingy years ago?

[dirty_dog]

Finishing the Festival off with a Hot Chip secret gig would make my year

I guess we'll find out if there is going to be a secret headliner tomorrow. How sure are we that the times will be released tomorrow?

Stereophonics

[arcade fireman]

Why do people keep thinking the Stereophonics are in any way suitable for the Park??

Dung as they are, they are too popular for the Park stage.

There are no names getting thrown about that trump Cat Power, good job she's the actual headliner.

[Trebor]

MBV trump Cat Power

[Chrispy77]

Didn't that Voice judge from the Script say they were playing? Can't see them on the line up anywhere...

[Trebor]

No way are the Script going to be a Park headliner. They'll be on the Pyramid if anywhere.

[FloorFiller]

hahaha imagine if it was The Script. that'd be the funniest thing ever. although i'd be tempted to watch if only for Breakeven. THAT'S A GODDAMN TUNE AND I WON'T HEAR A BAD WORD SAID ABOUT IT

but yeah they'd definitely be on Pyramid if they were playing, which they're not thankfully

times come out tomorrow so we can finally find out if this is true or not! (well... we still won't know if it's definitely true as Cat Power could indeed just be finishing early for a completely different reason...)

[Chrispy77]

I would love a photo of the reaction of the crowd if they did though!

And yes, if they play it would be pyramid/other. Hope not as a secret though, I need to know when to avoid the area.

[dan05delaney]

You've got me very paranoid now incase it is! Especially as they are playing Roskilde the following weekend
