Bands you can safely say will play this year

[Glitter+Vodka]

Aside from the headliners when do we get told the full line up? Is it pretty close to the time? Or come in dribs and drabs or all announced at once or what?

[Sipperana]

John Otway, at least three times.

[Glitter+Vodka]

Usually a few acts are announced between now and june until the start of june when the full lineup is revealed all at once.

[staggerlee]

The Rakes are releasing a new album next month I think so I expect they will be there.

[russycarps]

what????

[Eyebath]

Bodger and Badger!

[Crouchie]

Biggles Wartime Band will always be there. Worth catching for a bit of fun.

[greeny81]

I would hope Laura Marling will be there this year

[neall]

Elbow arent apparently.

I would say pete doherty will be there in some capacity, and I am Kloot

[fraz]

These are not as well known but they are just as good if not better than some of the acts on the bigger stages last year.

I would like to think perhaps Shlomo after last year getting one of the biggest crowds at the park. Smerins Anti Social Club who have played for the last two three times.

Yes Sir boss as well.

If you have never heard of any of them go on myspace or youtube.

[ziggy stardust]

the rakes - john peel

im pretty sure this will happen

[TheSeventhOne]

MIA

Ladyhawke

Empire of the Sun

[Tugger2k]

Faithless.

if there truly is an omnipotent, all knowing god in heaven they will surely play

and if he does excist (which i doubt), he's a DJ!!!

[CrunchyFrog]

Would be pretty awesome if Flight of the conchords showed up this year, with the new series out n all , the American tour dates only go as far to the end of may on there myspace, I have my doubts though

[robith]

MIA

Little Boots

MGMT

Ladyhawke

Friendly Fires

Lily Allen

Empire of the Sun

Morrissey

[hoils]

It appears many people are unable to understand a simple thread topic. This thread is for bands that you can safely say will play this year, not who you would like to see play. Some people are very thick indeed.

Now children, let me show you how it's done:

Bruce

Blur

Billy Bragg

Fatboy Slim

Biggles Wartime Band

Seize The Day

Neck

will be playing, I think it's fair to say.

If you want some other band to play why don't you start another thread. Hell, why not a Facebook group or a petition? It'll get you nowhere but will prove how much you love some god-awful guitar band.

[crimsonking]

MIA is pregnant so unlikely to be playing anywhere in the summer

[crimsonking]

Hmmm, string has turned into another wish list as opposed to nailed on certs for Glasto.

[russycarps]

I vaguely remember the I am Kloot singer throwing his guitar across the stage at the sound engineer after he cut their power for over running their slot in 2004. They've not been back since but I remain ever hopeful

[Innana]

yeh they cut the sound literally while they were playing. Disrespectful that.

[russycarps]

No, not disrespectful at all. If a performer blatantly ignores indications from stage crew that it's time to wind up (and they are given plenty of notice of how many minutes they have left), and the performer chooses to ignore this, then I say cutting them off is fair enough. The consequences of them just playing on are either that the next performer gets a much shorter spot, which is unfair, or, if they are the headline band, then the performance would go on past the curfew time and therefore jeopardise the license.
