[Uncle Liam]

I started ths thread the last two years So i aint breaking tradtion now.

For moi:

Friday: Kraftwerk, Editors, LCD Soundsystem, OMD, The Whip.

Saturday: Peter Gabriel, The Arcade Fire, Interpol, We Are Scientists, British Sea Power

Sunday: Smashing Pumpkins, Manics, Ladytron, Kloot, etc etc.

ETA: I also think that next year the festival should move away from old or novelty acts (Country Joe Mcdonald, Donovan, Wolfmother etc) towards putting newer bands on with more potential and quality.

i think arctic monkeys will play next year

i think everyone will have had there fun out with them so they'll get chucked over to the isle

i agree with liam and they should move away from all that old tasteless music

and put some up coming bands on

that would be cool

thats the only thing 07 missed out on

some proper upcoming bands

although i dont see how Wolfmother are a novelty act?

Gotta disagree with you here, thought that this type of act was perfect for the afternoon and people looking to have a bit of fun. Thought Donovan was really good, got the crowd going and was great fun, and as for Wolfmother they were superb.

As for the line up, I like the sound of Hammers Dream line up, and definately want to see Ocean Colour Scene again.

[Uncle Liam]

I do like quite a few "80's" bands but the ones I do like are still creating interesting and relevant music in the 21st Century.

I would rather have the Spice Girls than Bob Dylan.

And yes, you can quote me on that.

[fernmark]

but if its the spice girls im gonna have to avoid mel c again. bob dylan would be great

Am hoping for Paul McCartney next year as he said he would be touring. For me its only an act like that which could top names such as Paul Weller, Coldplay, Bowie and The Stones.

Would like to less novelty acts like Country Joe. If they book a afternoon legend again hopefully they'll get someone a bit better than Donovan, I was a bit dissapointed that they couldnt get someone of the calibre of Steve Harley or Lou Reed this year. Would also like to see more better groups during the day such as in previous years, this year we normally didnt get to the arena until 4ish as most people with the exception of Carbon Silicon werent worth watching in my opinion.
