Because its that easy to fly out and set up all the kit the band need and have it sound-checked and ready...

[krisskross]

What time do you think a band normally arrives at a venue?

[Brave Sir Robin]

what time do their stage crew arrive to set everything up?

[Leggins]

How do Franz Ferdinand meet any of the clues given in the programme? Rip roaring? Knock your woolly socks off? Nope.

[nicknickmm]

Foals? They are free that day.

Has anyone actually considered the possibility is that whats written in the programme arent clues at all? Just some generic non-specific hyperbole written by somebody to fill up the space because they haven't been told who the band is yet?

Then again that would give you lot nothing to talk would it!

[krisskross]

At a festival like the French one FF are playing, when they can't actually get access to the stage until the acts before them have finished, maybe a couple of hours before show time?

[theDandy]

could it be somebody who is already on the lineup?

[TomWales]

On the FF thing, headline bands at festivals sometimes even load their gear and soundcheck the night before. At the very least they'd do it in the morning before the rest of the acts.

[The Placid Casual]

I still think it's The Libertines...

[Homer]

This thread really does show that it's bullsh1t that most people don't care about the line-up. We get 99.9% of it, so people then devote 82 pages and counting discussing ONE slot that hasn't been announced!

[Brave Sir Robin]

Most headline acts at festivals soundcheck at the start of the day before any bands go on.

[FloorFiller]

as dentalplan has said many times, if Franz / any band knew they had a gig that day, why would they arrange to do a secret set at Glastonbury on that same day? surely they'd arrange for it to be on another day? or Glastonbury would just find another act to fill it rather than rushing this band on and off stage? all seems very pointless for a unannounced 45 minute set at 11am

[CHRLY]

The set didn't get tv coverage last year, is there something telling us this years will?
