Listen to Abel and tell me it made you yawn. Go on, do it.

Yeh but it's no "I'M ON FIREEEEE!!!" is it?

[fightoffyour]

Oh, of course not. Everyone knows that festivals are no place for songs like Karma Police and Tender, as has been proven in the past, so I don't see why we should give the National the time of day.

Tenner on Elbow as the Friday sub please

I reckon you might owe me a tenner Mr Shankly?!

[GlastoSimon]

Oh good GOD no, are Elbow subbing Arcade Fire?!

[DJL]

I like the national but i agree they are not really a big crowd headline act at major uk festivals. I was at reading and, despite them giving a good performance, the atmosphere was poor around me. I saw them at primevera and latitude as well and there they worked much better.

At glasto they'd be a VERY strong park headliner (and i think the phoenix comparison is valid) but if that slot isn't big enough for them anymore then i'd say other sub... which is the part of the festival which is most like reading. I'd pass personally.

Just as an outside bet on the Other but more realistically the JP , i reckon now that Franz Ferdinand are rumoured ,is it beyond all possiblility that they could sneak in there with a slot as headline on either of these two stages? After all if Bloc Party or Pheonix can do it then surely it is a possibility.

They headlined Other the same year as Bloc Party, didn't they? They're much less popular now. Could headline JP, yeah.

HINT

not at all, but it's not over till it's over.

And it ain't over just yet.

I thought headliner bets at most bookies said Sunday headliner in the small print. Mac would be saturday if at all, no?

I wasn't thinking that specifically. Doh!

if I'm wrong about Kasabian I'll probably have people after me with pitchforks in June.
