Dont think Franz are other stage headliners

[norainplease]

Could it be that they are moving into the lot before Bruce as the "4th Headliners" have had to pull out?

I hope so, Chzeboy really wants to se Bruce and I really want to see Franz.....that would kill two birds with on stone!!!

[wigstonmania]

franz are the only band ive ever walked out on

cant play their instruments

which is some criticism because the songs arent complicated

a theory just that nothing more. No facts. Just theorising.

glastonbury wanted a fourth headliner, they almost booked someone. We dont know who, but we knew they were a band worhty of a headline spot. Franz Ferdinand were rumoured to be headlining the other stage, and i think at a push they could headline the pyramid, personally i wouldn't have them headline it but it could happen. Maybe they have replaced the fourth headliner spot, we know from what neil has been saying that the band who were orginally down for it might change their minds. Maybe they have finally made their decision and Franz have replaced them. This would leave another headline slot open for the other stage.

Theres a lot of Ifs in there.

It could also be just a cock up from the BBC.

edit: didnt see norainplease's post. i agree in more words

No WAY could Franz headline the pyramid stage,

I dont care if they've headlined Reading, they've lost popularity and even at their height they wouldnt be Glastonbury headline level.

Theres just something about them I dont like, they're really middle of the road uncool, the new album is all like "Woahhhh look were experimenting a bit like The Killers new album and stuff"

But the lead singer still looks about 45 and they're very much the Indie equivelant of Nickleback in my opinion. Whatever though, to each his own.

id be happy to see them on the pyramid, it was also solve a few of the headline clash problems that always raise their heads

[eFestivals]

Nope, they are definately headlining other stage. That is a mistake on their behalf.

Neil, I thought you emailed them saying that they have made an error, and the man behind the website changed it?

i mailed them specifically about them having the days for the Pyramid headliners wrong, nowt else.

[russycarps]

Franz are a total class act

I'm not a huge fan of their music, but I went to see them in Benicassim in 2006 because there was literally nothing else on and there's f**k all else to do there and I thought they were incredible. Absolutely blew me away.

[darrenbha]

well the kasabian news takes the pre springsteen slot away from franz

Doves are gonna be too big for John Peel by the summer, and have given them an Other Stage headline slot. Please say that's the case.

[MJMilz14]

Im 99% sure this is a mistake, but I hope the 1% of me wins.

Seen Franz twice, and they were really good both times. Wasn't at all keen on the 2nd album, but have really enjoyed there latest offering.

Under NY or Blur would be cool... 3rd under Kasabian and Bruce would be epic

[scappaflow]

I quite like Doves, they are my kind of band, but don't really see what the fuss is about.

I guess it's just because they have been away for so long that has built up a bit of interest. I'd prob go and see them ahead of Springstien tho!!

As for franz... we are forgetting that the Beeb has them on the Pyramid stage. Surely this because either the band or someone at Glasto has told them?

There's nothing in it for them to just make it up that they are on the Pyramid stage.

[norainplease]

Why do people around here seem to think that Doves are a way bigger deal than they are? They are obviously very much a "glastonbury band" but they barely make a dent in most people's conciousness.

Doves are pretty boring, dont see why they get this unbelievable attention here, I'll cut off my right hand if they headline the Other Stage this year.

like you said... Personal Opinion
