My thought, no issue at all with that. There is another show lineup up this year I'm sure of it and it'll be significant enough that R&L haven't applied the same booking terms as they did with Mumford & Sons.

I agree - I think there's something very fishy going on with the lack of R&L 'exclusive' (in some form), so something else has to happen.. and I think an opening slot on the Other would go down an absolute storm. That would kick off the weekend properly!

I think for the secret slot on the Other Stage to work properly it does have to be a bigger name than Kaisers or Beady Eye, I can see what they're going for, the weekend to start with a bang, libertines would be ideal

I really think it should be a pyramid secret slot. It was rammed in that field and its hard for people to leave if they arent interested

I think they had to test the waters though didn't they?

We knew about the Kaisers and Beady Eye on the Thursday and their performances were packed, so i imagine they just wanted to see if it was viable, and safe, to have a 'huge' band play their in it's place.

FWIW, London to Russia is 3hrs, easy.

They wasn't that packed, I strolled up half way through Beady Eye and got to the sound desk.

Kaiser Chiefs had plenty of room when I walked past at the start....again got to the Sound desk with ease and back out again. (Can't remember what I decided was a better occupation of my time )

Maybe i'm thinking about blondie - we didnt move til after blondie started and it was a nightmare getting out when i heard the first song and decided i wasnt having any of it

Not sure if they would fancy the rush around from Glastonbury to Russia for the sake of a Friday secret slot, small cheque and no TV coverage.

It's more a case of if they do it, they want to do it rather than it's a chore. It's the one fest they'd bother to do something like that for and the time they'd do it makes sense. Whilst I have no guarantee they will do it, based on what I think, there isn't really an alternative. Flo won't be doing it, her whole only doing one UK Festival date wouldn't really rule out a guest slot appearance.
