The Glastonbury Festival Thread

[Naffa]

So who's going this year? I know I am.

I wanted people to post the rumors they hear in here so we can have a single OcUK source for potential performances.

Confirmed so far are:

Chemical Brothers
Lily Allen
Arctic Monkeys
Bjork
John Fogerty
Chumbawumba
Hot Chip
The Who
Kasabian
The Saw Doctors
The Kooks
Mika
Arcade Fire

A few more smaller bands are playing.

Rumors:

Genesis
The Police
Razorlight


Does anybody know about Clapton/Cream D ) possibly playing? I remember seeing that Clapton had been booked on the news as soon as it was announced that there wasn't going to be a festival last year. Anyone know anything about that?

I think the lineup looks awesome this year, and if Cream play then I will die of excitement as they're one of my favorite bands ever ever ever.

I've heard nothing more about that since the original news article. The current world tour will be over by then so who knows.

Well I thought that Clapton got booked before the 2005 festival. Clapton phoned Michael Eavis and asked if he could play, but they were full so he said that Clapton could play 2007. AND.. 'The biggest band in the world' have been confirmed. I know Cream are by no means the biggest, but inevitably there would be a little spin on a statement like that, and they're definitely big enough to have that title slapped on their head.

My theory anyway.

I must admit I didn't know they were currently on tour. But old Ginger, bless his heart, looks even more like a skeleton than he did back in the 60s. Still smoking like a train as well.

I am hoping on everything I hold dear that this is true.. And if it is, this will be the best festival I've ever been to and possibly the best thing I've ever been to ever.

Ow Gawd.

Didn't know anything about that. Well they make up or have made up, but I didn't know about that. Thanks for filling me in.
