James?

[SwedgeAntilles]

Bloody hell, didn't expect that! 

[wozwebs]

RESULT!!! Great news

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'm not their biggest fan but James have always been a great singles band, they're perfect for this slot. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Heh - they've just done away with the "mystery" element of it entirely, have't they....

[Digital Monkey (Womad)]

This is a bit more like it following the disappointing headliners

[wozwebs]

New album is fantastic, give it a listen

[A Guy Called Matt]

Saw them live last year at Bearded Theory - absolutely brilliant.

[CaledonianGonzo]

While I poke a lot of fun at this lot - and at the Friday Other Stage Opening Slot in general - it's difficult to see how they won't maker a better fist of it than The Charlatans or Beady Eye.

If they start the same as they did last years gigs then the play Sit Down first.

[CaledonianGonzo]

No one will be sitting down when James and the lads run onto the Other Stage and command all the people leaping to their feet to sit back down again.

[Yokel Again]

Good stuff. Will likely be there.

[wozwebs]

Perfect start for the festival, sun shining, cider in hand singing along!!

Bollocks. 

I'm working till 12 on Friday. 

I BEG of you, good people of Worthy Farm, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT DROP LITTER on Thursday night. If there's little litter, I'll finish a bit early and will get to see James. Thank you. 

[jackarmy]

The right position for them.

Looking forward to seeing who they've got in the "up-tempo band who outshine the Special Guests before them" slot. 

[Hotchilidog]

This great news. A cracking start to the friday!

[Beach Buggy Fan]

BOOOOOOOOM James = brilliant news

 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Or...

Everyone dump all their rubbish in front of the Other.

Names trickling out is starting to become a steady stream. I suspect an announcement is imminent.

I've given up hoping James will appear. They would be great Friday tea time on the Other Stage. I'm not enjoying their new album though - may be it's a grower but so far, they seem to have forgotten to write tunes. 

Still - I'd be right down the front if they do play. 

Awww! I'm pleased for PaulieV

[marketsqhero]

Excellent news, was at the album launch party a few weeks back at the Manchester Academy 2. The new album is great, however I suspect it'll be mostly a Greatest Hits set which is fine by me!
