Friday other stage opener

Recommended Posts

I was camping in oxylers opposite other stage last year and you had to be deaf not to know it was beady eye. The guitar tec must have done the intro to rock'n'roll star five times before the massive banner appeared at about 10am.

Can't understand all the moaning about em tbh, it was a good laugh and singalong for the songs everyone knew and it was easy getting served at the bar. Add to that everyone was waiting for the Hives and it was the best Friday morning start I've ever witnessed.

This year with Blondie second up, as long as it's someone we can enjoy, laugh at or start getting pissed up to then I would be well happy.

Cheers.

Are people assuming it'll be a big name because of The Special Guest status and Beady Eye are relatively well known? Perhaps 'The Other Stage' Opener will become a thing but to put it in perspective here are the openers from the last few years:

2013 - Beady Eye
2011 - Chipmunk
2010 - Magic Numbers
2009 - Mr Hudson
2008 - Ida Maria
2007 - Mr Hudson and the Library
2005 - Tom Vek
2004 - Kasabian

Didn't The Foo Fighters do a secret set at Leeds a couple of years ago (pos Crooked Vultures)...

Also the first set I ever saw at Glastonbury was a secret set by Last Shadow Puppets, it's a possibility.

I saw Foo Fighters do a 'secret set' opening the 2nd stage at V back in 2007 I think when they were due to headline that night. It was acoustic and the field was packed. They did it under the guise of '606' so it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility.

A deal to open the other stage as secret set them headline the year after would make some sense.

Why is everyone convinced it is someone 'big'? Beady Eye are hardly up there with some of the names being mentioned, even if they are some of Oasis. Much more likely to be a middle of the road band really; Franz Ferdinand making the most sense..

Edit: Franz are already playing elsewhere on the Fri, but a band that kinda size.
