Otherway round i reckon on with underworld and Belle and sebastian. Just makes more sense to have the dance lads on last.

Just going by the announcement earlier that Belle and Sebastian are closing the EA. But I may have misread that

He once said Daft Punk were hotly rumour, the year RAM came out. EP were recording majors loses and DP appearance fee would have been astronomical plus they don't like touring. He is not in the know as he comes across.


If Underworld are on friday , that means the "dancey" set late on saturday night is wide open , unless they want to put blur on and time it with rte's live coverage if they are doing it.

Could be Hot Chip , could be Hopkins.

Hot Chip would be a good shout for main stage, reckon Hopkins for EA. Seen Hot Chip play a main stage at Barcelona about 3am in the morning a couple of years ago and they nailed it.

That was pretty much the strategy and it didn't work! so we do need something more robust this year!! Anyone wearing fancy dress?? Offer to make a sign??

so he just nicked his info from here ... tut tut.

It would seem a bit odd leaving none of the "bigger" names left for the day trippers

That's what Mr Beansy just said, he was fully expecting Blur or Flo for Friday for that purpose

I wore a fecking hat, I had posted a pic of said hat on last years thread.
I have a purple top hat with goggles I am more than happy to wear.
We need to make it between 5-5.30pm in case of distraction or tent drama

I did have randoms coming up to me over the weekend asking me if I was a boardsie because of my hat. Lol

Although this year its looking like spot the muppet in the poncho.

just wearing a hat is not enough though, we need something more "robust" as was said above. If it rains everyone is wearing a hat.

for reference I am the auld geezer who should have more sense

Underworld have to be on the main stage. They ate one of the main acts ffs

So underworld in the EA tent and the rest of them on the main stage ?

suppose the running would be Ride, Chvrches, Belle & Sebastian, Sam Smith, Florence .. or am i overestimating Sam Smith as a big draw (personally I don't like that album)

Belle & Sebastian are headlining the EA.
going on previous Friday nights, there won't be anything else of note in the EA.

last time they played they were on the main stage, before Pulp, so I'd imagine they're doing the same this year for Florence & the Machine, assuming those days are accurate.

yeah, just checked his twitter and he says that he's getting the days off the websites, so it's obviously not worth a sh1te.

I actually quite like Clarke but that is some ****e to be coming out with.

I'd be amazed if Florence isn't on Sunday.

I don't know Melvin Benn was on the same show but never corrected him. I suppose we will all know next Thursday :)

I don't think Benn was on the line then, he probably wouldn't stop him anyway as Benn wouldn't be involved in the scheduling/booking so probably doesn't know exactly when most acts are playing.
i think someone from Villagers noticed and corrected him anyway:
