Friday other stage opener

[dentalplan]

I get the feeling we're not far off a new 'ITK' user signing up and insisting they know it's Coldplay.

[Ratpat]

Realistic ones I've read on here would be:

-The Pogues (tourdates match, although it's difficult to believe that Shane would already be awake at that time :-D )

-Coldplay (tourdates match and they're friends of the festival/ donating the guitar)

-The Waterboys (tourdates would match and it would be time to have them back again)

If it's someone like suede or James, it would be pointless seeing as they could of just booked those bands to play anyway.

Who would honestly care about a suede secret set... Unless you're a die heard suede fan that just can't get enough of suede.

If not Coldplay itl be someone painfully mainstream so you should probably lower your expectations. Not looking like a thom title faction either as he's gone quiet.

Linkin Park

They could've booked Beady Eye last year.

Of course people will care about Suede. They're a big name.

If they are billed as special guests, they've gotta be someone which joe public has heard of. Listing your favourite band that you really wish the festival booked just makes me cringe to be honest.

[Badlands]

NERD were confirmed weeks before the festival.

I truly think the reason why they played unannounced is because Liam wouldn't accept a lower slot than other headline, hence why he slagged off the fest so much.

Beady eye is Liam Gallagher pretty much, they may not be huge but a Gallagher brother as a secret guest has much more of a name to it than suede. Which I imagine most of the crowd would go.."who?.. Oh" and walk off.

Cliff Richard?

[jackarmy]

Morrissey?

[howlin_pete]

Money is on Libertines. Didn't Carl say he would like to do a warm up show at Glastonbury?

[mattgimmeshelter]

Does Glastonbury owe huge well known special guests at 11am to their attendees?

[Andy0808 v3.0]

Rolf Harris: Reborn?

[mattgimmeshelter]

Morrisseys a good suggestion, with the album and all being close to glasto.

[Sawdusty surfer]

Cliff Richard?

[Ruwise]

The Special Guests bit indicates either something special or a big ego to appease. Let's face it there is nothing special about Beady Eye other than Liam Gallagher's over inflated sense of self worth.

I hope it is something actually special rather than pandering to a dickwad like Liam.

[Gnomicide]

Absolutely no chance of it being Coldplay. If it turned out it was, I'll change my name to Matt.

[dentalplan]

What? That isn't what I suggested...

I can imagine a situation where they offered beady eye to play, and because they had only accepted second stage headline slots at T and V they expected the same at glasto, and glasto kept the offer open or whatever. Instead they were probably offered to open it unannounced, and that probably stimulated Liam's ego or whatever

[jeffie]

Motorhead, how many times

[CHRLY]

Mcbusted. I could genuinely see this.
