I've just got off a backshift  (in canada) and have another one tonight. Am literally in bed. Please advise, should I stand?

Second this. I'd happily take Chemical Brothers

They only headlined a few years ago so doubt it...

It's not stopped a lot of other bands doing the same kind of thing

Could gorillaz close the Sunday eve on the other stage?

I want a stonker of an Other stage headliner against Ed. Nothing specific, but something along the lines of what we've had for the past number of years. Something for "us".

Yes! First thing I'm looking for on the poster, although the closer it gets the more I think I'm gonna be underwhelmed by whoever's seemingly headlining Other that day.

Get some shut eye! 

Whether it arrives or it doesn't, once it does does arrive it won't be going anywhere afterwards!

If it isn't announced tonight and Neil didn't quell our excitement in its early embers, we riot.

I would like Cut/Copy but they are in America on the Friday and Saturday I think :-(

No sign of Alphabeat either.

As a long shot maybe The Whip, although they done a couple of gigs and have since disappeared again.

Am more than happy with Chic, Joe Goddard and Hac classical really.

Shame about Cut Copy, they would suit a daytime Park slot, would be terrific fun.

To be fair, they did play in each of 2004, 2005, and 2007 - and twice since then so it's not unusual for them to come back often.

The fact that their manager is married to Emily and helps run the Festival is completely unrelated of course.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Jay Kay and the Hats for the Other?

[Mezhyp1]

i wonder how many recently browsing members this will peak at, currently at 276

[ladybird33]

Are we nearly there yet?!! Aahh

I would cry with both happiness and sadness if this happens.  Massive Stein fan but I'm working the Sunday so would miss it.  Same applies to green day playing Sunday night

QOTSA were a more than suitable alternative to Bouncy

I think their 2010 headline slot would have gone down amazingly on the Other Stage. Doubt they will be back, but who knows...

I'm really underwhelmed by the lineup as it stands. Radiohead obviously will be epic but saw them this summer at a different fest. Foos were quite expected and I'm about as excited for ed as I am for a wet noodle I throw against the wall to check if it's cooked. 

Hoping for something in the lineup that is a massive surprise and equally exciting...for me thats Daft punk(please) , Gaga, or chemical Bros. 

I'm going either was but give me something to jizz about.
