Who do people think will headline the Other Stage?

[MartinGooding]

Presuming Franz Ferdinand Will headline one night whol do the other 2? anybody any ideas, or wishlists or anything interesting or productive to say?

[ivan]

On the info/rumours so far

Kanye

Flaming Lips

could be possible's

[dacbo]

bloc party, franz ferdinand, kanye west

[budvar]

bloc party, franz ferdinand, kanye west

[MartinGooding]

i hope its not bloc party, seen them twice both times very dissapointing, flaming lips and kanye id be happy with tho, would leave me with some very tough decissions to make

[crimsonking]

If rumours are right it will be Franz Ferdinand, Kanye West and Flaming lips, though wouldnt surprise me if one of the very big dance acts such as Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada, Underworld, Daft Punk or even (wait for it) Pendulum headlines.

[MartinGooding]

doubt it would be groove armada again, i dont think pendulum are big enough yet, is Orbital entirely out of the question?

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

Friday : Kanye West

Saturday : Franz Ferdinand

Sunday : Sonic Youth... Well maybe not.. but I hope it is SY

Just looked into and it would seem Daft Punk do have at least one more tour left in them, their official site says either in 2010 or 2011.

[FestMonster]

wont be pendulum not big enough and never will be, Kasabian, Kayne, Prodigy that would suit me fine lol but probly more the lines of kayne franz and flaming lips

[m_bantam]

Franz Ferdinand??????????????

Didn't anyone hear how poor they were last year!

I think dreadzone should headline it personally..they sounded much better!

in my dreams!

maybe faithless!

[bombfrog]

Franz Ferdinand??????????????

[richybear]

I'v got a funny feeling orbital will headline

They are back

[Martin Ashford]

I would imagine they will all have to be very popular acts in order to draw some of the potential crowds away from the Pyramid which is hosting the best line up in its 39 year history.

I'm hoping Orbital for Sunday night comes true but means a clash with Blur. I do think it will be a big dance act and probably UK based for Sunday though. Friday will probably be a band with an average age below 35 and a career spanning less than 10!

(Obviously I'm just taking the piss with that last quip and not maliciously)

(And obviously just covering my arse with the bracketed qualification above!)

[tylerdurden]

kanye

franz

kasabian

[pedmills]

Based on rumours so far it will be:

Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Kanye West

The next likely combo would be

Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand, Kanye West.

I guess Flaming Lips could play, but what's the basis for the rumours? Plus I'm not sure they would headline the Other Stage now.

Orbital have said they aren't playing Glasto(could be bluffing but probably not), so they won't be an other stage headliner.

Sounds about right to me. Not too shabby.

[daveinafield]

bloc party and franz are fine, not keen on kanye

[mini-macc]

Kasabian would be ideal for Friday or Saturday, but im hoping that perhaps the Enemy headline, seeing as they have an album to promote and also i hear they went down pretty well last year.

[russycarps]

flaming lips would be on the pyramid. They would need the biggest stage for their show

[Bradders]

The only headliners mentioned I would watch are Sonic Youth and Flaming Lips.

I'm beginning to think there will be at least 1 night where I don't want to see a single headliner!
