Patti Smith

[Guest]

I'm hoping she plays Saturday as ideally I'd like to finish off with the Chemical Brothers on Sunday.

Is there a reason she can't play Saturday do you know ?

No reason other than three nights in a row with a trek across countries in between shows is a bit of a pain in the arse, but Patti is immortal so there's nothing physically stopping her.

Cheers. Looks like Sunday then. Not a problem at all to miss the Chems

Any reason why people are assuming she's going to headline somewhere? She's a big name, big legacy, stinks of Pyramid to me.

.... Because... Because... Because it's perfect, that's why!

You've planted a seed of doubt in my mind here.

Couldn't she be an acoustic tent headliner?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Nah... She is not a sunday pyramid act to me.

She doesn't have the "hits"

My money's on closing west holts or park

what a way to finish the weekend

obviously followed by some partying in the "naughty corner"

[wrongturn]

Has anyone noticed that ruddy Bon Jovi totally half-inched their tripe of a song Bad Name off of Patti's Because the Night? Absolute sacrilege!

She should sue - Gaye vs Pharrell/Thinke-style

Sounds too good to be true.

[bellboy]

So excited about this - my must see of the weekend. Can see her on the Pyramid (a la Nick Cave/Jack White slot in previous years). Horses is a cracking album from start to finish.

"Jesus died for somebodies sins but not mine"

See you there!!

[Winslow Leach]

I thought that. Sound not great in there, but there's real ale next door.

Yeah, I'd much prefer her closing the Park but there's already at least 8 potential Park headliners on that lineup, and she seems the most likely to be on Acoustic instead.

[glasto-worker]

She played the John Peel last time I saw her at Glastonbury and it was pretty rammed. Was hoping the rumours were true on the definite list for me.

if you mean in 1999 it was not called that at the time - it was renamed the John Peel Stage in 2004 it used to be called ' the new tent ' or ' The New Bands Tent '

Patti and Van Morrison at the farm over same weekend. Duoing on Gloria would be sensational.

[FakeEmpire]

I think she might be on the Pyramid.

Has anyone looked at the text version of the lineup on the Glastonbury site? Whilst it probably isn't in much order lower down, I think the first chunk is Pyramid from Foos to Patti and then Other Stage headliners/subs from Chems to Ben.

FOO FIGHTERS
KANYE WEST

FLORENCE & THE MACHINE
PHARRELL WILLIAMS
ALT-J
LIONEL RICHIE
MOTÖRHEAD
MARY J. BLIGE
ALABAMA SHAKES

Doubt she'd be billed below paloma faith or alabama shakes on the pyramid

[klipper]

Also. No. She's closing WH. Don't give up the dream.

She's not really a West Holts type act. She's closing the Park. Believe.

I'll settle for either, no kanye clash would mean i could drag a friend along, also would be gutted to miss kanye.

[The Nal]

Regardless of where she plays, I cannot fucking wait!

We also get to see one of the most important and influential guitar players about too with Lenny Kaye.

I'm pretty excited to see her close the Park, never seen a headliner on there and I love the area. That's what I'd want at the moment, but I'd obviously be really happy with closing WH as well.

[Thelips]

She could come and close my curtains and I still wouldn't miss it for the world.

[Dr Glasto]

This is my must see of the weekend - what a legend!

I've always had to miss her gigs in the past for one reason or another, but the fact that I will now get to see her at Glastonbury is making me very very happy!!

[home to you]

Sunday on the Park would be great for me (assuming it ends early again). And then over to the Pyramid for the mystery 3rd headliner

[shortleg]

Patti Smith saw her at Latitude 2006 she was fantastic

Seconded. I loved the stick she gave the photographers in the pit when she came on. Told them all to get out to Palestine and photograph the horror out there. Always rely on Patti to make her point clearly!

Be nice if she did some stuff in the poetry tent like she did that weekend.

I had the pleasure of watching some of Tom Verlaine with Lenny Kaye later that day. Lovely man.

Does the Sunday Park headliner clash with the Other stage subs? Not watched a Sunday headliner there
