tom york? who the hell is he?!

[popcornmaster]

Can't see it happening sadly

Thom York is at Latitude...it would seem like thats an "exclusive" festival slot, but dont rule out a Glasto appearance - after all they are both run by the same people so they cant sue themselves for breaking exclusivitiy. In fact, if it was an exclusive at Latitude it would more than likely have been announced as that, to boost ticket sales, suggesting he has another slot lined up somewhere.

But Glasto? Or Reading/Leeds? Maybe T in the Park? Could be anywhere else really...

I would be so chuffed if Thom played!

I woud be thrilled if Placebo did too but just don't believe they will at all.

[lizfairy]

Yep I'd be thrilled about both to!

Just would be devastated if I found they were the special guests and I wasn't there!

[niceandfriendly]

placebo are playing in greece and turkey whislt glasto is on. unless on a live feed on one of the big screens, they won't be at glasto

Putting an 'e' at the end of York(e) would be wise in order to avoid the 'RADIOHEAD R PLAYIN EVRY UNREVEALED SLOT AT GLASTO TRUST ME I KNO!" brigade swamping your thread *not sure if they all spell like that mind*

edit: one of the first replies did actually spell it right and I'm not sure why I even written this reply

Do you mean Thom Yorke... ?

Erm, would be amazing to see him at Glastonbury!

[mr blue]

Thom Yorke is definately NOT playing. I had a word with someone in Radiohead management tonight who confirmed he will only play Latitude this year.

Sorry

You know full well who he's referring to. Why is everyone being so sarky and arsey with people all of a sudden here? It's a real downer to the whole boards. Well done, its well clever that people can spell Thom Yorke, and make jokes at people's expenses who haven't got tickets, and have in jokes whenever a virgin asks a question. It's hardly the type of atmosphere I'd expect in the runup to Glasto though, and it's a real shame, and it's really putting me off posting here.

"wrote" ?

Whilst you're pointing and waving at someone else, 'tis always wise to keep note of one's footing...

[Storm_NL]

Just out of interest, how many times did you check the spelling of that before you posted

Placebo didn't say they'd play Glasto.

The article said they would, but that wasn't Placebo saying it. Going by the many other errors the beeb has published around Glasto this year I think it's probably the case that this is simply yet another of them.

OMG! I can't see it! Where is it? Tell me tell me tell me!!!

[Toilet Duck]

don't worry people are far nicer when you get there then they are on here.

[Chickenburger]

posting etiquette? seriously? is it a website messageboard or a nazi camp?

people should stop being so miserable and encourage the new posters even if they are asking questions heard a thousand times, bu thten i guess after 30 years of not missing a festival most people are to cool to acknowledge the excitement the younger people that go will be experiencing, with all their crazy new fangled bands purely aimed at making record labels money. it wasnt like that in the beatles day.

Don't worry, there's no mistake, but if I'd written that comment I'd have checked it about 30 times
