As they are not on the Line up I assumed it would be Outkast, but I can believe it will be Coldplay.

After last year they should just book The Hives in the slot for the next 15 years - the most perfect way to start any Festival.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Won't be OutKast, they're in the USA that weekend.

I'd say the Libertines are looking increasingly likely. Coldplay are probably eagerly awaiting the phone call to tell them Doherty has snuffed it & their services are required though.

Dearest amigos, a warm up show at The Barrowlandson the 29th June 2014 has been added for The Libertines. Tickets on sale soon. I will keep you all posted, C x

Do we think this makes them more or less likely?

[coma girl]

I think it makes them more likely if they're all in the same place that weekend, something that wasn't usually the case for the lead up to their initial reunion shows.

If it was going to be somebody huge like Coldplay or Foo Fighters, why would they risk putting them on the Other stage, when they could just as easily put them on the Pyramid? (The old Park guests were different, because they were later in the day so were clashing with lots of popular bands.)

Without any better info, I think we may as well assume it's going to be someone of similar size to Beady Eye.

Someone shit then?

I would totally be over the moon if it was the Foo's especially with the cryptic tweets going around.

A girl can dream right?

I think you're underestimating the pull of bed, food + bimbling around the campsite 1st thing in the morning. None of the stages are ever packed at that time. Plus the Other Stage is slightly bigger that The Park!

Actually, I agree with your conclusion, but not because I think there'll be any risk. Just because there hasn't been any hints that it will be any different to last year.

What happened to Bill Bailey? He self confirmed then went quiet. Could quite feasibly do a set.
