any ideas who...?

[dentalplan]

Someone is goin to have to help me out with what's said. At work and no sound on computer...

I can confirm Alex James gave Zane Lowe a cheesy fist bump.

It's a 30-45 minute press conference I think, shall update anything of importance

Another Hyde Park gig?!! What the fuck is with Blur and that hell hole of a gig venue?! Bloody house band!

(Agreed with previous posters, 2012 was god awful for for sound, getting a beer, toilets and the family picnic crowd though I did somehow managed to end up getting very very drunk and not remembering half the set or how I managed to get home which didn't help.)

Other than that I am quite excited by the news

You probably didn't remember it because you didn't actually hear it. It was drowned out by the sound of aspiring middle class london folk chatting over everything other than Parklife.

Oh and it was the quietest gig ever.

Down to you dental my link isn't working

[ybelgrave1]

I was hoping they'd be headlining glastonbury again... Missed them in 2009 for the prodigy as a friend said they reminded her too much of her ex. I've definitely learnt since then to be a bit more selfish!!

I went to parklive in 2012 and didn't have any problems with the sound as we were pretty far in, but at the BST libertines gig last year the sound was truly shite. Don't know if I'd bother going again though I would love to see em... Does anyone think they might do both?

Why is there a Pyramid on the back of Damon's hand?!

[Memory Man]

clutching at straws much??! haha

[FrancisH]

Why is there a Pyramid on the back of Damon's hand?!

Illuminati.

[5co77ie]

"there's not going to be one show... you can't announce anything..."

[Thearg]

Why is there a Pyramid on the back of Damon's hand?!

And he's wearing a cnd badge!

[Fingerbobs]

Illuminati.

Oh yeah. But he's also wearing a CND badge and we all know their rich history with the festival. Aren't there some red tents at Glasto too? Look at the colour of his jacket. Too much of a coincidence surely?

[Mezhyp1]

"there's not going to be one show... you can't announce anything..."

Beat me to it, there's definitely a whiff of something going on

[FrancisH]

I suppose it is weird it's so soon after the first headliner announcement, any ideas why Glastonbury picked yesterday?...

[FloorFiller]

"there's not going to be one show... you can't announce anything..."

definitely sounds like a festival to me - why else would they not be able to announce a show themselves?
