Friday opener?

[musky]

The Stooges? To big?

I'm a bit surprised they don't really seem to have been named as a possibility (even before the line up announcement) as they're playing with the Foo Fighters in London the week before.

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

Tazz 'n Beefy.

That would be special.

[Summertimelover]

it would be amazing if it was James, seen them twice and they were brilliant! When is the last time they played it was a few years back now wasn't it?

It's not the Stooges supporting the Foos, it's Iggy solo. Was really hoping for him on the lineup. He'd be amazing for Friday opener but I'd be surprised if it's anyone that big.

Prince.

Ah, didn't realise he was doing anything but the Stooges stuff at the moment. I'd still settle for that, but I don't really think it'll happen given the last two years offerings.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

The Darkness.

[Tuna]

I'm going with Frank Turner.

[Perks]

Chas and Dave..

And it would be friggen awesome

[tullux]

i think it is biffy!

[mr flow]

Tazz 'n Beefy.

End thread. That would make my whole year let alone festival if that happened.

This would be excellent..

Granted, Blur are much bigger than recent openers but I think there's genuine feeling about them playing coz of 'Damon's love for the fest' that people keep banging on about and so they could play a fair few of the new album..

Still don't think it'll be them, can see that sort of reasoning behind it.. Doubt it'd be James, their apparent high fee would scupper that deal and Stereophonics, well, are shit! Could be them

[Bonehead> Clapton]

Happy mondays or black grape

[Tdiz]

Franz Ferdinand seem like the most likely to me

Mondays isn't a bad shout at all. It won't be a massive name, it'll be an academy sized band.

[Callum_96]

Bastille

Get the mighty Quo back I say

Charlatans seem like a really logical and possible choice to me. Seem to be playing the festival yet weren't tbc. A band which would have a biggish following and in the middle of a somewhat resurgence

[Guest]

Would be chuffed with James, like.

Imagine it being Nordic Giants though, they'd definitely knock some woolly socks off.

Terrible!

Still Iike them to open though, sell out or not

[morph100]

Whoever is TBC but not on the next poster is most likely.....

[Titters2]

I would love it to be James - a very nice way to start a festival.

Any chance it could be The Cribs? They did the job in 2007 (I think, it was a heavy cider year) and were great.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Whoever is TBC but not on the next poster is most likely.....

or whoever is on the next poster and is playing twice but listed once perhaps.
