aye, if they can't actually get decent acts to do it (which is baffling considering they were able to get headliner sized acts to play the Park - a nicer more intimate setting, granted, but big bands playing much lower than usual) then they should just rid of it all together

Agree completely. Sack it off altogether. Mainly because hope always gets the better of me. What can I say? I never learn.

Horses for courses then.

Blondie was a good laugh due to the crowd we were around but you have a point.

Hopefully someone good this year though, Kula Shaker would be taking the piss. Struggling to think of viable bands mind.

 

We were doing tequila shots in the lunchtime drizzle watching blondie.

Throw into the equation a sign language woman with some truly memorable hand gestures, friendly people surrounding us and you have a perfect glastonbury memory.

 

I've had worse fridays

[brettredmayne]

I now want shed 7 thanks to this thread, I would quite enjoy a bit of disco down.

[Mardy]

Hehehe, the charlatans, shed 7, kula shaker, primal scream. It's the Other stage, not 'bands from the Other century' stage.

You cynics will be singing  from a different hymnsheet in June when Kula Shaker stride out onto that stage and hit you with Grateful When Your Dead.

Acintya bheda bheda tattva, to that.

[Woffy]

One day the Eavii will book someone amazing and there'll be no fucker there, due to self-induced crying wolf.

"Ladies and gentlemen...LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!!!!!"

*sound like a person getting the last bit of ketchup out of the bottle*

Aye, Blondie were alright - I remember the sun finally breaking out through the clouds during Hanging On The Telephone and a massive roar going across the field, which seemed to take Debbie Harry by surprise.

[stuartbert two hats]

I really enjoyed Blondie.  Not in a 'because of the crowd' sense, or a 'alright for their age' sense. I just really enjoyed them playing. Just as I did in 1999 on the Pyramid. I simply think Blondie are good. So there!

They should have been in the same slot mind.

The darkness?

Whack Feeder on, perfect band for that slot

I do. Would be great to see them.

Failing that Grant Nicholas doing his solo stuff on the acoustic stage might be nice  too.

[Untz]

But Feeder aren't Northern.

And I don't think I could handle the young whippersnappers asking what a CD player is.

It's gonna be Busted.

Isn't it McBusted now? 

[Gnomicide]

I like it when it's someone I'm not bothered about so I can go to the proper festival opener i.e. Hobo on Avalon stage.

So yeah, Kula Shaker would be perfect.

Mcbusted was when one of the members of busted refused to join with the other 2 so they joined with mcfly instead

 

Now the 3rd members joined them again so they've broke off mcbusted and formed busted again

Shame, the Mc could have made them great 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I know next to nothing about Busted, but it's a reasonable expectation that they'd be more fun than whatever warmed-up Britpop leftovers are actually on the cards.

[SwedgeAntilles]

The abandoning of the 'Mc' prefix does allow for a Scottish tribute act to use that name Watch this space.

I happened to be in the photo pit when Fightstar - Charlie from Busted's 'credible' band - first played Reading Festival.

The hail of bottles at the start was a lot of fun dodging, both for snappers like me and for the band.

Charlie just kept on playing, and while their style wasn't my thing they put in a more-than-decent performance, better than plenty of other 'big' bands I saw that weekend.

He said he'd never go back to Busted, but I guess the wonga gets ever more tempting if a new project doesn't make the big time.

He needs that money to fund his art.

Crazy how lucrative comebacks, reformations, remakes etc are these days. If you made something 12+ years ago, you're quids in.
