Who do you want to see added this year?


Guest Lunion

Recommended Posts

@ Dan Reed - is that your name, or are you a fan of the Dan Reed Network (showing my age now!)

In answer to the question (and to make the line up brilliant for me)

Vampire Weekend

The Tragically Hip

Sloan

Pet shop Boys

Bluetones

Dodgy

DJ Yoda

Flaming Lips

Beth Orton

Faithless

realistically I expect Starsailor, Ladyhawke, Editors, Gomez perhaps. That said there have been some nice surprises in later announcements the last couple of years (Rod Y Gab, The Pogues, The Hold Steady, "606", Iggy) so here's hoping.

606 - how good was Dave Grohl, best V moments ever watching the Foo Fighters, unfortunately they are on a break for the foreseable future so no chance. We've virtually got the '07 line-up (OCS were in the tents last time)

Extra acts I'd like to see:

Newton Faulkner

Kelly Jones (with or without the Stereophonics)

The Coral

Pink

New Order (be nice to see them do Shadowplay from Joy Division years with The Killers)

The Editors

Dave Matthews Band

Gas Light Anthem (even though am getting to see them at Hard Rock Calling with The Boss)

The Rifles

KT Tunstall (goes well with my favourite Seasick Steve)

Amy MacDonald - awesome last year

Kings of Leon

Muse

Green Day

Dave Grohl (if we can't have the Foo Fighters)

There are too many to mention but then I'm knocking on in festival years now.

^ sign me up for most of those (with the exception of Pink & Kelly Jones)

With the obvious exceptions, last years headliners etc, I'd be thrilled with some of those. Dave Matthews would be great, KT Tunstall too.

Muse was last year, they rocked but couldn't watch the same performance again and who'd follow them? It'd take a week to get the satellite dishes down!

I'd love to see Lenny Kravitz again as he really got the crowd going before Winehouse got hammered and sang badly / staggered off.

Need a big rock band legend, like Bon Jovi or similar to really get the crowd going to songs they know all the words to and really rock.

It was the difference between the sets, Girls Aloud people were moving about and generally enjoying it (well it wasn't as bad as I expected) but Kravitz got people jumping and rocking to absolute tunes.

Stereophonics managed it as warm-ups to Muse too, was fantastic to see everyone singing to Dakota

No white lies are crap live. Friendly fires would be good as would be the gaslight anthem, airbourne toxic event, the cribs, metro station, late of the pier, im sure i will think of more but there the off the top my head realistic possibilitys

Bloc Party are a bit hit and miss live unfortunately, and although I'm a fan sticking Arcade Fire on at an upbeat festival could raise the suicide rate dramatically if it starts raining too. They don't exactly have more than 2 happy songs.

Elvis Costello would be great as would Jarvis Cocker (haven't seen him there yet even though he plays and its his festival).

I kind of wish Coldplay would come, but they'd have to headline these days - nothing like a memory of Fix You being played to a wave of mobile phones (used to be lighters how times change).

Would of loved someone like Feeder, Ash or Blink-182 (but they went and broke up).
