Do you mean supporting them? Is that Megadog gig the weekend before then?

Im on before. No, its a small club night in manchester. Psytrance and Techno.

I have heard that there are gigs at glastonbury really late in the day on small stages if you speak to someone in the know. Im going to have a word and see if Merv knows who I can speak to.

Could have been Taylor Swift Sunday but she has cancelled due to her mum being ill.

Could be Madonna getting cold feet after album not doing as well and tour not selling as well as expected.

Could be purple one being a dick.

Who knows what has caused this but if they have it sorted or very nearly sorted now then we should get something soon, hopefully Wednesday.

Do you think it will be stage split or just names all over the shop?

Indeed there are a lot of small stages up the Common, Block 9, Shangri La areas that have DJS and stuff playing psytrance all night long. Parties around every corner. Its the main reason I still love the festival. Good luck!

He's been on the sauce

:lol:

What happened to Taylor Swift?

Everyone got over their 13 year teenage girl phase I think :P

Possible Wednesday Announcement = Good

Hot Chip on WH = Good, on Friday = Crap

George Clinton providing the first option against Kanye = Fantastic

A mixed bag there Neil! A real mixed bag!

I am hoping The Who has more to it, than just Scottie being on the sauce :D

Why is everyone saying Blur have been asked and doing a favour? If they had problems with the Sunday headliner and needed to turn to someone else then why not Flo given all that Emily has said about her, about bumping up and about more females? Not saying I think it is her, just that don't think it would be Blur, I have been known to be wrong however!

Why would they delay announcing the last headliner if it was Flo?

Precisely. Perhaps Neil's extra info will tidy things up tomorrow, but this whole debacle screams an existing "exclusive" headliner with another festival being allowed to save the day.

Expects blur.

Prays for The Mac.

because it'd be a weak headliner, so they may as well get everybody as excited as possible with as much line-up-goodness as they can before sneaking Flo in close to the festival, and hoping people won't mind too much.

i'm caling it 'The Metallica Maneuver'

Prince - Still holding out, my no. 1 hope.

Blur - Was excited about the prospect when they first announced their reunion, considerably less bothered now.

Fletwood Mac - Worst of the options for me, don't like their music and think it'd be bad considering Mick told fans to give back their tickets cause they wouldn't be there.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
