Friday other stage opener

[AbsolutelyNo]

The Fall.

[davidd]

We can dream .

[eFestivals]

Any word coming out from GFL on who it actually is Neil? Or at least whether it's someone big/they're excited about?

it's a secret, so they won't be putting any word out.

Rather annoyingly, I've found out since last year that I could have known about Beady Eye about two weeks before the fest if I'd been in touch with someone at about that time. Doh!

Hehe yeah that sounds remarkably familiar.

I think from now on it should be banned to say a random band/act/artists name without some kind of semi-solid information.

I have a sneaking suspicion its going to be Biffy Clyro. They're playing in Ireland on Friday night which makes it less likely but not impossible.

I think early on the festival had them pencilled in as a potential headliner but lost out to the Isle of Wight when they tried to chase bigger fish.

They've played a secret set on the park stage in the past. Biffy are also good friends with Metallica and I imagine Metallica will be on site on Friday. When Metallica were confirmed I'm sure Biffy wanted to get in on the action, a rocky opening to the festival sets the stage for the rest of the weekend and paves the way for Metallica.

[Brave Sir Robin]

My money's still on Franz, though I'd love it to be the Pogues or the LIbertines. No idea why the first two would be kept a secret, although no idea why Beady Eye were a secret last year.

Foo fighters???

[Bisque]

Just watched a bit of their One Big Weekend gig & it was weak compared to when they headlined in whenever it was.
