I do like the idea of a special guest slot on the Other Stage, or even the Pyramid on one or more days. It will get punters wandering around a bit more instead of staying around the campsites. The park secret sets were a bit mad, massive acts on a tiny stage, it just couldn't continue. But having these acts on the Other Stage should be OK

As for who it's going to be, if anyone, my money's on Franz Ferdinand, after they implied they would be at Glasto in a recent tweet. I thought there secret set at the Park a few years ago was pretty bloody good

For what its worth, I also enjoyed Beady Eye last year as well. I think it's potentially a great slot and will fills a field which would normally be pretty empty at that time of day. And lots of people will hang around, so the next act would get a larger crowd than the might otherwise have got

I do hope so.

I am not at all convinced by those saying Coldplay but if it adds any weight at all to it, they have donated a guitar to the festival to raise money for charity which Emily just retweeted.

Likely nothing, but..

[mrtourette]

For me Beady Eye didn't exist last year. The Hives were the Other stage openers as far as I'm concerned. They were also the best thing i saw on that stage all weekend.

[mrtourette]

okay shall I be the first person to say it?

Coldplay have a gig in london on july 1st in their album run tour, which starts with big weekend.

I could honestly see it...

[A Guy Called Matt]

I see Culture Club have announced that they're back - and announced a tour, albeit in December.............................. maybe , just maybe??

beady eye were just boring, got a slight reaction on the oasis covers but nothing more, the hives got people moving though, a lot of energy for that time of the day just what was needed after boring eye

I really hope its not coldplay.....at that stage of the day im trying to wake up not go back to sleep, beady eye were boring as I said but coldplay would be worse! all the energy that kind of easy listening, elevator/supermarket music normally has.....ie none!

My vote would also be on the libertines, arent they meant to be doing a new album very soon? may want to get their name back out there with a bang?....

[stuartbert two hats]

A slight correction to all the people who actually saw Beady Eye last year, I was at home listening to Worthy FM and the reporters said that they were great.

Glad that's cleared that up.

surprise sets are good for bands returning after a long absence, lets them judge how much they've been missed by the excitement generated and 11am or not still a high profile slot to be at glasto, guaranteed tv coverage etc

My mates, mates second cousins half-brothers Uncle (not proper uncle - married his Aunty) reckons it's gonna be Daphne & Celeste. He used to do the sound engineering for them. No fake.

It's erasure

[mr gumby]

I think I understand what you're trying to say, but you're wrong. Beady Eye opened the stage.

[stuartbert two hats]

definitely this beady eye felt like an oasis cover band, they were the only tracks that got a response.....in fact ive seen better cover bands then beady eye trying to do oasis tracks lol

hives were awesome, SOMEONE GET ME A LADDER! IM SERIOUS GUYS! lol

[cokebabies92]

The hives were awesome even in my speed comedown state, never doing speed again.

If there's going to be any secret sets then it will 100% be the Libertines.
