special guests 2011

mifftas · #1 26-05-2011, 11:23 PM

Has anybody got an info or whispers as to who the special guests are on the park stage this year?
AND who would you like to see there?

Mart44 · #2 27-05-2011, 09:17 AM

Normally pretty secret until the day. The whole thing of course started as a surprise but now everyone knows there might be something special going on.
Could it be Pulp ? Who knows

robbieflash · #3 27-05-2011, 09:22 AM

Jarvis said it isn't happening at the Indie Label Market the other week.. So i highly doubt it.
Arctics i think..

stardustjunkie · #4 27-05-2011, 04:42 PM

Would love Pulp. Or Arctic Monkeys.

I think the Strokes are a rumour?

duggyfresh · #5 27-05-2011, 05:14 PM

I think it might be the KLF

robicraig · #6 28-05-2011, 12:44 PM

mmmcider27 · #10 28-05-2011, 07:18 PM

My money would be on Arctic Monkeys + Pulp, wouldn't say no to Foo Fighters though

acidliam · #11 29-05-2011, 09:31 AM

I'd take KLF, Arctics or Pulp

Sim · #12 30-05-2011, 12:55 PM

What about the old Fun lovin Criminals rumours?
Or have they been put a stop too?
Also heard rumours of the Strokes an definatly probable of the Arctics or Foos

Would love artics as I missed out getting tickets for shef and they were immense back in 07

Nelly · #14 30-05-2011, 04:41 PM

There was a rumour in the NOTW yesterday (so take that with a pinch of salt) that Prince might rock up.

acidliam · #15 30-05-2011, 05:18 PM

Bob Marley and Freddy Mercury back to back live DJ set.

He is playing the Hop Farm Festival the next weekend.

I'm just saying.

Add salt to taste.

TAFKASair · #18 02-06-2011, 10:46 AM

OMG!!! The wee Purple one would be awesome!
I so wanna see +&~

... though of course, that's been a recurrent rumour for a few years.

Nelly · #19 02-06-2011, 08:41 PM

If the Foos weren't in Finland on the Sunday night I would have put money on Mr Grohl turning up with the QOTSA.

Poo.

Oh nuts... And I came in here to start a TCV rumour...

Still, Queens eh?

Nelly · #21 03-06-2011, 09:00 AM

TCV would have been amazing! But as you say - Queens. Good end to the musical weekend.

KarenEH · #22 03-06-2011, 09:14 AM

Having seen Kings of Leon on Weds night at the O2 in London I know who i'd like it to be!!!

Karen-pretty sure they are at Hyde Park over the Glasto weekend with Paul Weller supproting them so

KarenEH · #24 03-06-2011, 09:26 AM

They're playing Hyde Park on the 22nd + 23rd, then Edinburgh on 26th.... so Friday and Saturday are free!! Well a girl can dream! The whigs supported them- they were pretty damn good too!

Dunkyard Jog · #25 03-06-2011, 11:58 AM

Emily did say that Friday guests are "Headliner" level so KOL could be a good one if not a litle predictable. PErsonally REM would be good. TCV could still happen I think, and would love it if it did.

Mandypants · #26 03-06-2011, 12:47 PM

QOTSA

robicraig · #27 03-06-2011, 05:21 PM

Suggs is on at the Free University in The Park on the Saturday so..... Madness?

Liz2021 · #28 03-06-2011, 05:22 PM

Please let Prince be 1 of the special guests!!

intensify · #29 03-06-2011, 06:40 PM

Foo Fighters
Arctic Monkeys/Last of the Shadow Puppets
Brandon Flowers (as he's in Scandanavia the Sunday)
Leftfield

and the rest others mentioned.

gaw · #30 09-06-2011, 04:16 PM

Jay-z and Kanye West have an album coming out together in July and rumour has it they could be making a surprise appearance on Beyonce's set. They potentially could be one of the special guests acts as they are big enough to be headliners, have an album to promote and Kanye's ego would need something more than playing a small part in Beyonce's set.

Holesey · #31 09-06-2011, 04:39 PM

Alex Turner to roll on stage when Miles Kane plays to jam some Last Shadow Puppet songs out? hope so!!

Willow · #32 12-06-2011, 09:53 AM

Hey, could it be The Cure? Crystal Castles are playing... Or Take That :/ they are on tour at the time, but free over the weekend! I would love
The Cure - take me back to 1990 and 95!

mr jolly lives next door · #33 12-06-2011, 11:09 AM

Good shout for the cure - they are playing isle of wight with crystal castles and crystal castles are playing glastonbury

It's got to be a band that are doing the festival circuit and emily eavis did say that the band she got to fill the saturday night slot could 'potentially' headline the festival (she also said she hadn't booked friday nights slot at that time so the band in question must be saturdays slot)

I would like to see primal scream slot in somewhere again over the weekend,putting them and u2 on at the same time is a bad clash

wozle · #34 12-06-2011, 12:39 PM

PULPPULPPULPPULPPULPPULPPULPPULPULP.

pulp?

wozle · #37 13-06-2011, 10:29 AM

iggybobs · #39 13-06-2011, 02:12 PM

hi everyone just a quick question, Does anyone know the time of the special guest or if its not released whats the best way to find out its happening, e.g worthy fm, internet on your phone.... THANKS!

mr jolly lives next door · #40 13-06-2011, 02:30 PM

Friday at 8 and saturday 7.45

It's usually leaked onto twitter although you will only find out until around an hour or so before they come on - way i'm doing it is to get my girlfriend to look on twitter for me around 7ish on saturday and to ring me as soon as possible!

I should imagine worthy fm should be up to date with with any special guests though however you will need a radio with you!
