Orbital? The Mondays? Frank Turner? Paul & Jacqui? 

[spudthemariner]

Rich has said on a thread on the BT Chat site on Facebook that 'We have two very good bands who are totally different, one on a full UK exclusive and the other only doing a few UK shows. One being BT on its own and the other shows later in the year'!

So I'd say that that puts The Mondays out of the running, and probably Frank / Paul & Jacqui as well!

Intriguing anyway....roll on next Friday!

That does rule out Frank, he's got a new album out and said he's doing loads of shows.

I'm hoping for The Cult but that's based on no logic whatsoever.

Heed my words - for they are a truth. Friday and Saturday headliners will be:

Franz Ferdinand

or The Cult

or The Sisters of Mercy

or The The

or Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbot

or Happy Mondays

or Leftfield

or Primal Scream

or The Stranglers (although they played a coupe of years ago)

or The Charlatans (at a push, not sure they'd go down well with the BT crowd)

or Public Service Broadcasting (although they're probably not quite big enough)

or another band I haven't thought of.

I would be made up if The Sisters of Mercy played

Thought The Alarm were a bit shit last year. All that running between mics did my head in.

Oh... hang on.

Anyways.... BT Twitter has confirmed the announcement will be 7pm tomorrow.

Their Twitter also now says that Saturday's headliner will be announced. Still not there with Friday's one  then?

[glastonburynoodles]

So Robert Plant... some of the group will be happy

 

[The Red Telephone]

Wasn’t expecting that!

Yep, very happy with the announcement! Can’t help but think it’s a bit of a coup for BT

[Gnomicide]

Absolutely made up with that.

[choo choos]

Just logged in to buy my ticket, saw the Plant announcement, sooo

made up. Was expecting FF or some such,

Give his latest album a listen, you shouldn't be disappointed (from one who walked from Page n Plant at Glastonbury)

[DownboundTrain52]

Plant was exceptional at the RAH in December, even if the elderly drunk behind me kept hitting me for being "too damn much of a nuisance".

Left halfway through Whole Lotta Love to make last train out to Stansted which was a bit gutting.

[bucko]

Well done to the booker. Really can't wait for this one.

Plant is the one only doing a few shows (BT and Bath), so the other is the UK exclusive. Exciting times.

I’ve a hunch it’ll be The Flaming Lips

Shut the front door.!

i saw Flamings Lips for the first time last year on The Park at Glastonbury.. It was just joyous..

The only fault was that they headlined on Friday and so, nothing got anywhere close to matching them for the rest of the weekend.. I wish they had closed the festival on Sunday..

I would love it to happen but sadly cant see it coming to pass..

[paddyclark]

Ticket bought 

[bucko]

They said over on the bt forum its going to be a younger act than plant and cliff so it could be anyone really.

The friday has an indie/britpop feel to it so they could be going down that route.

Shed seven or something like that would fit the friday.

[DownboundTrain52]

Sleaford Mods, it looks like.
