I think the wings were wrapped up and stored separately. At the time I thought it was one of the Shangri-La installations but for the life of me I can't ever remember seeing it before. But then, most things are a blur in there...

I ma sure there is a plane in Shangri la,..... that said I have said Ive seen a lot of things there

[the wonderwhy]

I've never seen that plane on site before, and neither has a quick google image search 

Makes you wonder what they're gonna do for Ed...

There is/has been a plane in Shangri-La, but it's not that one

I think there's been a plane fuselage / cockpit in Unfairground before, but it's not that one.

Edit: as above. I think it's where Thom Yorke DJed.

@eFestivals is it a coincidence you've updated the listings on xx/Margo price/mark lanegan since I mentioned them earlier, or?

mate of mine who's quite close to the several bands, got us backstage at the park/other stage last year told us on Saturday that the park had the XX, Margo Price and Mark Lanegan. Wouldn't reveal anything else. 

Doesn't particularly bother me, but all adds to the fun and games

Margo Price and Lanegan would fit in there

The XX much too big..

We have a group of 10 going. Other than me - everyone else wants to watch them. A couple want to see them, but are not that fussed. The rest, the Foo Fighters will be their highlight.

If nothing else appeals I will go along with everyone else, but I will be surprised (& disappointed) if nothing else appeals more.

Find something else with me, Fuzz.

I'm glad they're playing as it's great for the festival and nice after last time's unfortunate event.

I won't be anywhere near the Pyramid when they're on, mind.

He's going to take the ginger wig off and reveal that he was James Blunt all along?

If Foos are the Saturday then it adds a little more weight to the Green Day rumour and if they are there then I don't know what I'll do!!

[mjsell]

How did this Green day rumour start anyway? Was there any actual info on it or just people looking at tour dates

Nah some specific info was given regarding them going opposite Ed on the Sunday, this was when we all presumed Ed was doing the Saturday.

People just googled "bog standard American rock bands touring June 17" and here we are.

Neil received info.

So if FF are announced today as the Saturday headliner, does that strengthen the Green Day on Sunday argument? On the flip side, I certainly think if FF are announced for Sunday it will more or less put that rumour bed.

Yeah they are playing in Germany on the saturday so I'd say it'd be pretty unlikely

Having looked at their tour dates there is definitely a chance of them Sunday, the biggest gap in their European tour dates is 3 days between gigs except for between that German date and their next in Belfast 4 days later. Conversely though, the general rule is that they have a 2 day gap when they move countries (there are a couple of exceptions to this but they are always bordering countries)
