No Leftfield!

[morgano71]

I can't believe there's no leftfield stage this year. I spent loads of time there last year and it was always a really good atmosphere. Levellers on thursday night really kciked off the festival. Does this mean no Billy Bragg this year? Gutted! Dave Gahan has just told steve lamaq on 6 music that Depeche Mode are not playing this year if anyones interested

Just because there's no Leftfield this year won't mean there's no Billy Bragg. He always goes and is bound to appear on the Avalon stage or maybe even the Acoustic Tent.

Glastonbury without Billy Bragg is like salt without pepper, Starskly without Hutch or Eastenders without misery.

Yeah i did see him in the Avalon tent a couple of years ago, so hopefully he'll still play

Still not impressed that there's no Leftfield though

He has also played the Guardian Lounge as I recall....

We're waiting to see what it is replaced with. I'm hopeful there will be a stage doing the same kind of things but under a new name

On the NME website it's quoted Emily as saying Trash City and Shangri La will expand into the old Leftfield area, probably a good idea to be fair it did seem more than a little over populated at times last year.

[miss_bunbury]

That's not expansion, that's relocation! Plus it will probably have less space than it currenty does. The Leftfield was only a stage after all

Shame about Leftfield. It had a really good atmosphere last year. Hope the Braggster still makes it.
