Preview of Friday 24th June 2011
Here is my final Preview of what I thought I might see on the Friday at Glastonbury in 2011.
Published previously in my blog glastoblogger.com.
There are plenty of clashes on the Friday, which are going to be hard to avoid, however I have reduced the number of bands I want to see on the Friday to only 26 of which 7 I have seen before.
It’s certainly going to be hard to miss some of them, but it has to be done.
So let me give you a few clues on how my day maybe spent. I am going on the Clashfinder times, which change right on up to the day so that’s why I don’t rule anything out at this stage.
It looks likely that Cocoon are going to be the first band of the day as there seems like no clashes first up.
Next up may well be decided by the weather, in the running are Metronomy, Brother and Stonefield. Third band of the day will be between Two Door Cinema Club, The Naked and the Famous and Mona, although I haven’t ruled out Dry the River. Next looks likely to be The Vaccines but Miles Kane and Summer Camp are in the running. Jenny and Johnny are hard to place at the moment as they are on at The Park it’s pretty unlikely.
The Wombats go head to head with Warpaint and Newton Faulkner in what is looking like the hardest decision of the day. Bright Eyes and Fleet Foxes look like they will be up against no one unless the Dance Vibe takes over from the Folk vibe.
Mumford & Sons looks odds on against Morrissey and it should be Primal Scream to finish off the Day meaning U2 and Fatboy Slim miss out.
So in Reverse order headliner to opener here is my opening gambit in regards to Friday
Primal Scream
Mumford & Sons
Fleet Foxes
Bright Eyes
The Wombats
The Vaccines
The Naked and The Famous
Stone field
Cocoon
So a long day at the Other Stage which in reality is unlikely.
I didn’t do very well with this preview, I did start with Cocoon and Stonefield, as already reviewed on the blog. However it went slightly askew after this.
I see Noel Gallagher, the sensible, song-writing one, is suing Liam Gallagher, the obnoxious drunk one that sings. Something about being too out of it to perform (onstage, dearies) – in 2009! Let’s not hold a grudge then! I always thought Liam was the sensible one, he won’t be thought of as that for very long if he keeps nonsense like this up. Keerist, they’re no more than big kids, the both of them.
Personally I think it’s just more marketing ploys by both of them, to have their bands names in the media, if so then it’s pure genius, if it is real then they are both as stupid as each other. why would you sue your brother ?
