Also I think that traditionally The Other Stage has a decent dance act on on a Sunday night which would help pull the crowd away from her.

Who are we guessing is playing The Other Stage on the Sunday this year? 

Bring Me The Horizon. Although some think they may be subbing it instead. If they sub it I'd guess they'd sub to LCD Soundsystem.

what happened to the underworld rumours? Or were there never underworld rumours?

It would give the locals who come in on the free tickets a chance to see her though.

Help keep them sweet maybe?

They don't get free tickets.

Are people still thinking Adele is Saturday night?

Personally I think she'll be Sunday night instead.

Muse

Coldplay

Adele

I'm pretty sure Coldplay are already playing Thursday and Friday in Denmark (or somewhere similar) so if they play it will almost certainly be Sunday

I think they were being touted as a potential WH headliner, not sure which day though.

How big was Beyonce's crowd, stu?

That aside, I happen to know that bands who have been told they'll be playing at around the same time as Adele aren't very keen to have that slot as they're worried they'll be playing to an empty field.

Well I will be there for NO so they will not be on their own. They will get to see my Hooky is a cvnt t shirt :-)

Which one is Sonic? Is that where Freestylers were last year? I quite liked it there.

it's the one in the dance village, the one where you cant get any sort of a view if it's a tiny bit busy!

They'd suit sunday better than friday or saturday in my opinion anyway

Nah the one I am thinking of was proper smart. It was under some trees and on its own. Proper nice chilled out stage..

That rings a bell. The only thing that ruined it was my mate who kept moaning the Freestylers were shit and wanted to go to the bar a bit further up the path and listen to a dj play Bob Marley tunes.

The sonic looks like it belongs in an episode of the x files

I would be more inclined to think Muse are going to go back for Bestival after last year rather than R/L

What actually happened last year? Matt B confirmed they were playing but they were never announced?

[FuzzyDunlop]

I saw Leftfield in the Sonic last year - the tent wasn't as bad as I was expecting to be honest. I had heard bad reports.

Leftfield were good too.

Fell through for some reason. Think it may have been to do with their Download contract.

No way it could contain the crowd that Underworld could draw though, I love the Glade and spend a fair proportion of my festival there, but I can't imagine how chaotic it would be if they played there, WH would be ok, Other ideal (in my opinion, at least).

The Bar was probably Spike

I agree, no chance of the glade at all. Other would be best, WH seems unlikely, but I have a bad feeling after leftfield last year they would end up in the same place.

Bet they dont play at all now!

[Gucci Piggy]

Underworld would surely be JP or WH.
