Everyone please think of 1 totally leftfield choice...

[jamesbduk]

Rule 2. They must still be active (The Beatles, The Doors etc don't count...)

Rule 3. They have to be vaguely possible (it can't be U2 for example (thank God))

Rule 4. You've got to suggest the perfect stage / slot.

Rule 5. You've got to justify your choice.

My choice?

Jamiroquai

Second from top on either C4 or mainstage. The sun must be just setting!!

I know their stuff can be a bit samey, but come on!!

Just think of the tracklist!?

Canned Heat

Deeper Underground

Cosmic Girl

When you Gonna Learn

Love Foolosophy

All great summer choons!

And let's be honest; who doesn't turn into a bit of a Space Cowboy when at a festy???

PS. I'm pretty sure they've never played V.

If they have; appologies for starting a shite thread...

[Flaminglippy]

Yeah...think Jamiroquai would be quite good in a field with a beer. Not a huge fan...but plenty of songs people would know...

For my choice...

Flight of The Conchords!!! Must be in a tent...maybe early in the JJB or headlining the Union...

Songs like 'Hiphopopotamus Vs Rhymenoceros', The Most Beautiful Girl (In The Room)', 'Think About It'...absolutely fantastic! Proper good time music...would have probably gone for the FLips for the same reason if it wasn't for your 'can't have played before' malarky!

(''I'm the mutha-flippin'...'')

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Simple Plan!... Yeah i know not V's normal style... but after headlining the second stage at Download maybe the Tent or Early 2ond stage...

3 good albums and just good fun...

[Shinny]

NEW FOUND GLORY

Coz I love them... OK serious reason...

They have a new album coming out in March and they have a sizable following in Europe. They have catchy tunes that will get people bouncing and they are amusing to watch live.

They'd be good headlining a tent or on the 2nd

[luckysalt]

No Doubt

back together this year and new album and touring

main stage, 4th down

[Chapcharlie]

Mentioned them on another thread. . .

Rosie and the Goldbug

Would be perfect for mid afternoon on the C4 stage (not just JJB since they can really work a crowd)

They have done Latitude and (I think) Bestival, supported Cyndi Lauper, are newly signed last year and on the way up.

They have been likened to Ladyhawke, with the lead singers voice a cross between Gwen Stefani and Siouxie Sioux!

Anyone else? There's an entire festival to fill.

[fairy_]

Britney!

or Bowie

[badger10]

Cheesy I know but either Bon Jovi or Aerosmith headlining the main stage.

Not everyone would be keen on them but everyone knows their back catalogues and as far putting on a live show goes these two know how to entertain.

[TheDog]

My Bloody Valentine, reformed, new album etc.

JJB stage maybe quite low down probably in the same bracket as bands that have played there before, and V do love their 90s nostalgia.

failing that, what lucky salt said

[Bunny]

Love the idea of Jamiroquai....

How about Lupe Fiasco - either second from top in JJB or mid afternoon Main Stage.

[Hairywookie]

Bowie would be fantastic...as would Neil Young (at Glasto though) but not many ppl would know much of the latter

[rockinthecasbah]

Bob Dylan, main stage headliner.

Fat chance.

[theramm]

Sig gives it away - Public Enemy

Realisitcally JJB 2nd from top or headliner :-

Fight The Power

Shut Em Down

Don't Believe The Hype

Bring the Noise

He Got Game

Louder Than A Bomb

Cold Lampin' With the Flavor

By The Time I Get To Arizona

Their recent single 'Harder Than You Think' is a return to form.

Not sure if Underworld have ever played. I dont recall them playing and I've been going since 2000. I reckon we will be seeing them headline this year.

[shoptildrop]

The kills headlining one of the smaller tents, quite frankly f**king amazing live (saw them at leeds last year) and i for one would defo be there is playing!!!

Avril Lavigne please!!

C4 or main stage mid afternoon when it's pissing down and everyone needs a bit of a boost Would be a giggle

Cxx

[danlen]

White Stripes. Dont think they have played.

See them playing 3 or 4 on 2nd stage. 2nd in tent

Maybe a Glasto moment with a rap/r&b artist. Timerland/timberlake.

good shout on Jamiroquai.

[kookye]

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!

Headliner on the main stage

Huge back catalogue

New Album

Will appeal to the older generation as well as the new (I'm 24 and I love him, muscially of course...)

A genuine nice guy who won't hold the organisers to ransom over paycheque
