Friday other stage opener

[stuartbert two hats]

Apologies if i've missed it but has Kate Bush been shouted out? Long shot but may be a first stab warm up a good 6 weeks ahead of her tour?

Other than that i'm thinking/hoping...

Libertines (most likely - secret gig right up their street and that way wouldn't interfere with Hyde Park gigs)

Suede - desperately wanted them on line up so would make me happy, not sure why they would be secret though?

Pulp / Stone Roses - massively unlikely but dreaming

Will find out in 31 days...

[MagicalGlitterBunny]

The Pizza Underground?

Pet Shop Boys.

[mattgimmeshelter]

I feel that alot of people on this board will be incredibly disappointed.

[Morse Code]

I reckon it's Christopher Lee...

[Rumblestripe]

Shhhh, it's Prince

[mattgimmeshelter]

But Coldplay are a sure bet?

[FloorFiller]

Nope, just that alot of people are suggesting their favourite bands... and it's most likely to be someone painfully mainstream. Can't wait to see the grumpy posts when the banner is dropped, I just think people should lower their expectations.

[mattgimmeshelter]

to be honest i'm well aware that there's a high chance of it being somebody shite. but then, just how shite could it really be? even if it's say, Lorde, i'd be up for that. hard to be that disappointed when it's the first band on on the Friday morning. i'll sit back and watch any old shite (as long as it's not Bastille / Mumfords levels of shite)

[Jack Nottm]

xfm have just said "rumour" foo fighters and linked it to that facebook photo they put up saying "never know when/where the foos will show up"

probably just a punt from xfm....

[Bisque]

I've heard it is going to be Kingsland Road

OMG NO WAY! HE WAS RUBBISH IN BRISTOL!

[Red Day]

Libertines are playing glasgow on the sunday so they should be in the country...

[dentalplan]

So a recap:

Coldplay - only UK date of the year, friends of the festival

The Libertines - together and performing in the UK that weekend, Carl is a fan of the festival

Foo Fighters - posted a suggestion of a surprise UK show

Kingsland Road - it is them

The Pogues - playing in Bristol the night before

Franz Ferdinand - although they're out of the country, people sense a disappointment

Is that about right?

[mattgimmeshelter]

The Foos are playing firefly in the US June 19th i've just remembered... Maybe we can throw them into the likely mix?

Prince just extended his tour to June 7. I can imagine him extending it right up until Glastonbury weekend then not playing.

Here's a leftfield shout. Relatively well known band, not done anything in ages, possibly in need of the publicity...Razorlight
