Friday other stage opener

[johnny-yen]

I remember being certain it would be Beady Eye BEFORE I left on Wednesday afternoon. I just don't remember where I heard it from and when.

[Simo71]

Florence and the machine would be my guess. Huge "friend" of the festival and has new music to be tried. A few new songs with a few more established songs would be perfect in that set.

Gordon smart at the sun broke it on the weds morning just as I was leaving for the festival

Levellers and Fun Lovin' Criminals

[siblin]

its Hot Chip.

[Superscally]

I think you're right Siblin. Sort of hope it is someone shit too, so I don't have to tramp all the way to Other Stage and back before War on Drugs...

[sinhala]

Dandy Warhols & Echo & The Bunnymen both active around that time.

[Superscally]

They just ain't my bag man! :-D

I guess they would get a lot of people dancing early...

[Neville Street]

Coldplay at RAH a couple of days later, so will be up and running.

[Gucci Piggy]

Surely a 55 minute album would take longer than 55 minutes to play live?

Sunday one could be Franz Ferdinand I guess, after that hint they posted on Facebook, and the fact they're only available Sunday. Or if it is an electronic act, Klaxons.

Reckon I'll go along to both unless I find out beforehand it's someone I don't want to see. I don't want to miss White Lies, but they were abysmal outdoors at Leeds last year so I'm not too fussed.

Not read through it all, but a few people I know think/hope it could be Embrace. Playing at V fest and T in the Park, but nothing around Glastobury. Got a new album out this year, which is their first in a while.

Also, 2 acts I want to be but highly doubt that it will be are The View and The Courteeners, would be great to see either of those acts. Both not doing anything at that time, but The View don't seem to be playing any big festivals this year, and The Courteeners are supposed to be an exclusive for Reading/Leeds. Then again, Metallica were supposed to be an exclusive for Sonisphere, but they are playing at Glastonbury too, so you never know!!

I don't think The View or The Courteeners really have the wow factor required to be a 'special guest' (The View played Williams Green last year!).

The View were supposed to play Williams Green last year, but they get tw*tted in London the night before and didnt bother showing. Id be suprised if they were asked back after that.

[richroet]

Can sort of Agree with The View, not with the Courteeners though. Just my opinion though.

[windy_miller]

I didn't even realize The View were still going.

Last year, how soon before the festival started was it pretty clear that it was going to be Beady Eye?

Does anyone remember? And why did it become quite certain it was them? Was it leaked or did they tweet it?

[Mardy]

The Friday morning openers will arrive Thursday night.
