Who thinks Duran Duran is a possibility?

[Joe-]

No idea who it'll be, mumford and sons perhaps?

Festival boss John Giddings said in the interview with eFestivals:

I think I might have a legend in the Big Top on the Saturday night, but we will see. It depends what you would call a legend

Festival boss John Giddings said in the interview with eFestivals:

That would point to a solo act

Actually, Mike and the mechanics have just announced a tour and JG tweeted that they were touring.

Finishes right in time for June?/

I reckon Primal Scream or Ian Brown. He was on about wanting Stone Roses playing. Be gutted if it was Ian Brown against Pulp or Foos though...

Is it me or is the forum on the offical website just crap?? Its just loads of people from the island talking to each other, or school kids talking about how late they're staying up...and when they finally do mention bands they're shit.

You must be the exception!

At the minute all anybody on there is banging on about is the Vodaphone VIP fiasco...

[markontour]

I'm betting it's Depeche Mode. Mike & the Mechanics would be cool, but I'm not sure many people would consider either of them to be legends. Maybe it will be Phil Collins? or Peter Gabriel or Genesis with PG singing with PC. Now I'm just humouring myself.

What's the chances of it being Brandon Flowers - would you call him a legend?

[sisco]

5co77ie. You got some info on it being brandon flowers??

Love the killers and brandons stuff

[5co77ie]

No I've got nothing Giddings twittered about Flowers and I thought ah could be him as he's a solo act - however wouldn't he be considered not that much of an alternative to Foo Fighters - and I think they would probably be looking for something completely different like say Tom Jones or someone that's a dance act. It was Orbital last year, to offer a variation on The Strokes.

[sisco]

Yeah suppose your right. I would presume if he was there he would get a spot on the main stage anyway somewhere lower down the bill. Time will tell.

The chems could be a possibility but maybe a bit too big for the big top?

Any idea when the announcment is tommorow?

[5co77ie]

not yet - no
