HOT OF THE PRESS - Other Stage Line Up !

[popcornmaster]

i think you're pretty much spot on with that.

though i hope its not the case, there is nothing there which will make me want to go to the other stage

no massive attack equivalent (not necessarily genre just epic long standing band)

[dacbo]

if that list is true looks like headliners could be Franz, Bloc Party and Kanye.

[Joshuwarr]

Franz Ferdinand

Doves

Nick Cave

Courteeners

Kanye West

The Coral

Ting Tings

Dodgy

Bloc Party

Sonic Youth

Vampire Weekend

The Decemberists

The Summits

there we go.

[ivan]

I'm getting more and more convinced that Orbital won't play . Hope I'm wrong.

[eFestivals]

Franz Ferdinand,

Kanye West,

Dodgy,

Doves,

Courteeners,

Ting Tings,

Bloc Party,

Decemberists,

The Summits,

The Coral,

Vampire Weekend,

Sonic Youth (how cool!)

and (still tbc) Nick Cave

have checked out a few of these with extremely good sources, and not one has come back confirming that list as true.

That doesn't mean it's not cos I know that Glasto sometimes build stage listings without necessarily any contact with the bands being listed, but it's unlikely that such a list would get to where Ivan got it from without things being firmer.

[stonedhenge]

so your saying he's a liar?!!

[pedmills]

sonic youth below bloc party!!!!!!!! unless they requested to do the sundown slot not a chance

[titch juicy]

Why does that sound so crazy? Sonic Youth are an acquired taste whereas Bloc Party are popular 'now'-band. I would be more surprised to see sonic youth above bloc party.

[eFestivals]

so your saying he's a liar?!!

no, I'm saying that that list is a very long way from being certain of what will be seen on the Other Stage this year.

The list itself could be from a genuine Glasto document but it's unlikely that such a list would have got to where Ivan thinks its come from, and when one or more bands on that list haven't been booked for that stage then it's far from certain that those bands will be what's seen on that stage.

[Joshuwarr]

nice, but nick cave below doves and franz?!? come on

[ivan]

I posted the list , exactly as it was given to me. No mention of days or headliners or running order.

Whilst I do not doubt the source , there is no way of knowing how correct it is , that is why I posted

the thread in the first place.

With the exception of Nick Cave , one could expect all of those artists for The Other Stage, and I have

not been an idiot by sticking Radiohead or Muse in.

And if I can count 13 acts does not consitute 3 days of acts , so there are some gaps.

And finally apart from Nick Cave all are rumours on the Rumours page at the moment are they not !

And finally apart from Nick Cave all are rumours on the Rumours page at the moment are they not !

First off, I'll make clear that I don't doubt your good intentions with this.

However, one band on that list, tho rumoured on efests, is not booked for the festival - this I 100% guarantee. They might come to be booked, but as yet they are very definitely not booked.

Two other bands on that list do not believe themselves to be playing the Other Stage - they have been told different.

So, while that list might originate from within Glasto, it is very far from certain that those acts will be on the Other Stage.

(and to avoid myself looking foolish with having made such a categorical statement, I'll point out that many of the names on that list I do expect to see on the Other Stage this june ... but all that means is that it would be quite easy for someone to fake such a list, using what's rumoured and a bit of guesswork).

[kohoutec]

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up with the past history but PLEASE let the Nick Cave rumour be true

[grumpyhack]

The guess the bands, the I really hope so or really hope not comments are great fun. But does it have any impact? Anyone know if posts like these make any difference to who is booked?

[Tristan]

Hmm, intriguing. I noticed that the Decemberists have disappeared from the rumours list...not sure how valid this list is but that's a nice bit of hope of them getting back on!

Either way, I'm expecting the majority of acts on that list to feature on the Other Stage somewhere.

[russycarps]

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up with the past history but PLEASE let the Nick Cave rumour be true

[robith]

Amen to that.

And Doves on the other stage? Surely high up the pyramid for these dudes.

[Tugger2k]

No way! They weren't that big to begin with and they haven't done anything for ages! Other stage sounds right for them

I'm getting VERY excited now! I like most of them bands and that's just one stage
