No Special Guests?

[FloorFiller]

MGMT announced tour dates as well apparently. Dates don't match up with Glastonbury though.

[Infinite Jest]

I have a good suspicion who it is Sunday, but I'm surprised no one else has suggested it

[Teddington]

Dunno, but I hope it's someone decent.

Atm I am thinking of going there irrespective as non of the headliners on Sunday appeal.

If it's rubbish I will head straight to the "after dark" areas.

This year surely we have learnt don't have too high expectations?

Unfortunately because we kept doing that, Glastonbury has become a lot tighter on controlling it's leaks, but hey, you knew about Brucie and that was the biggie! . There are no other special guests this year (probably because we told everyone who it was in 2011). I have a good suspicion who it is Sunday, but I'm surprised no one else has suggested it, much like Elton John at Bestival I'm unprepared to take the leap to spill until someone else does, and their dates announced yesterday make it look like i may have duff info, so good job I haven't 'leaked' best no leak than a duff leak. Als you've got to ask the right the right question to get the right answer. I mean no one seems that interested in who the special guests of Classica Orchestra Afrobeat will be.

So, what's your guess?

yeah i saw MGMT but... would anybody REALLY care if it was MGMT? i doubt it. be a very weird special headliner. doubt they could even pass as a regular Park headliner these days

FF would make perfect sense. Not too big a band that it would be mental in the Park. It would feed their ego in that they'd be headlining a slot rather than taking a mid afternoon spot on the Other which is their level nowadays.

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

think they'd be KIND of a big deal, but... yeah, i suppose you're right. don't think anybody would get too excited over Franz Ferdinand. i'd feel a tad disappointed if it turned out to be them, anyway

[FloorFiller]

FF have done it before though...

[Matt42]

please stop

[funksoulfever]

The lad im going with sits next to at work one ogmf the bosses at wateraid. He said ages bowie was a strobg rumour. Iv never believed it as id expect him to headline and i think hes busy. However i wish it was...yes i know this added nothibg to the thread but its akk empty guesswork anyway

[MEGABOWL]

*looks for who announced tour dates yesterday*

Franz Ferdinand?

[olive123]

FF are weirdly good live if they have all their lighting etc. I'm Not a huge fan but seen them a few times and have always been impressed. The drumming thing they did at reading when they first headlined was very good.

[houseofleaves]

Kings Of Leon just announced 2 Manchester shows for 24/5th June.. Too big?

[Riggins]

They've been announced for ages to be fair. I think they're too big.

[FloorFiller]

yeah they're on the same level as Radiohead / Pulp so if the organisers were thinking of toning it down size-wise then they wouldn't be a good idea. can imagine a vast portion of the Pyramid crowd would gallop towards the Park if word got out

[FloorFiller]

are they not a Bestival exclusive ?

[monkey1989]

sorry nope uk bestival exclusives are elton John , Mia , roots , flaming lips

[monkey1989]

yeah but exclusivity deals seem to go out of the window if the set is unannounced / secret so that shouldn't be a problem

[Matt87]

ahh cool they are brilliant live when I saw them years ago

franz Ferdinand followed by the Hives il be a teenager again for the afternoon !

[monkey1989]

probably we're haha
