Springsteen tops Glastonbury bill Bruce Springsteen will headline this year's Glastonbury Festival, topping the bill on the show's Saturday night. The dependable US rocker, who has just released his 24th album, will play in the slot that was filled by rapper Jay-Z last year. "He's one of the all-time rock legends and I'm confident that this will be one of our best shows ever," festival founder Michael Eavis said. Neil Young and Blur are rumoured to be headlining the other two days. Springsteen's visit will follow last year's heated debate over the event's first hip-hop headliner. But Jay-Z's performance, as well as the choice of Kings of Leon to headline the Friday night, was seen as a triumph for the festival. Springsteen and Jay-Z are musically poles apart, and The Boss - with anthems like Born To Run and Born In The USA - is likely to be seen as a safer bet. But both represent a break from the previous Glastonbury policy of looking to huge indie bands, such as The Killers, Coldplay, Oasis and Radiohead, who have taken the main headlining slot in recent years. Co-organiser Emily Eavis said: "I'm knocked out that we've managed to get Bruce to play. It's the icing on the cake of this year's bill, which I'm sure will take everyone's breath away when we announce the full details." Franz Ferdinand will also perform at Glastonbury on Saturday 27 June. Tickets for the event have sold out, with a "very limited" number of cancelled tickets going on sale on 5 April. The Glastonbury show will come during Springsteen's world tour, and he will also play the Hard Rock Calling event in London on Sunday 28 June. • Leicester's Summer Sundae festival will be headlined by The Streets, Bon Iver, The Zutons and The Charlatans, organisers have announced. This year's event will take place from 14-16 August at the city's De Montford Hall. Meanwhile, Red List Live, which takes place at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent from 19-21 June, has announced The Wombats as its headliners, while British Sea Power have also been added to its bill. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7905406.stm

not sure. think Ian is in contact with the person who set up the cafepress shop for us though.

Lollapalooza 2009 lineup rumors abound: Who will play? Lollapalooza won't announce its official 2009 lineup for weeks, but online speculation as to who will play the fest, scheduled for August 7 to 9, is in full force. If the actual roster looks anything like what's being kicked around, it's bound to be an another amazing time. Considering what's being buzzed about across the Web and what simply makes sense, below are my picks of bands that have a good chance of popping up on the official lineup. Keep in mind that this is purely speculation, and none of these bands have been officially confirmed as playing the festival. No Doubt - The newly reformed, Anaheim-bred pop/alternative/ska favorites recently announced plans of a summer tour that will kick off in May and find them "playing outdoor amphitheaters and arenas throughout the summer." Sounds like the perfect scenario for a Lolla slot, and given the fest's track record of booking 90s rock chart-toppers as headlining acts, it would make a lot of sense. Jane's Addiction - The band that headlined the original Lollapalooza is back playing together again, with a few smaller gigs already under their belts, a show scheduled at the Sasquatch Music Festival in late May and confirmation that they will support Nine Inch Nails on their farewell tour. It's only logical that the original Lolla headliners will do so again. Depeche Mode - The highly influential synth-pop act announced a worldwide tour to support their twelfth LP, "Sounds of the Universe," and a Chicago gig is missing from the announced dates, with a gap in the schedule that would coincide perfectly with Lolla. Put two and two together and a slot at the fest seems like a good possibility. Green Day - The band is releasing a new record, "21st Century Breakdown," in May, and considering their popularity with both the 90s crowd who got into them via "Dookie" and the youngsters who are better versed in "American Idiot," a Green Day slot would be huge. According to greenday.com news of a world tour to support the record is coming soon, and an appearance at the festival would definitely not be a shocker. Coldplay - There are two reasons they are prime candidates for Lolla this year. One, they are one of the world's biggest bands and have yet to play the fest. Two, there's no Chicago gig on their current tour schedule, and an opening on August 8 that would make an appearance possible. Blink 182 - Visit the pop-punkers' site and you'll find a message that reads, "To put it simply, we're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy. Summer 2009. Thanks and get ready..." As with No Doubt and Jane's Addiction, this reunion would lend itself perfectly to a set at Lolla. Kaiser Chiefs - The Chiefs are a pretty sure bet, considering they recently mentioned a Lolla gig in their recent fan newsletter. The Raveonettes - Sune Rose Wagner of the Danish duo also mentioned a Lolla gig, according to this blog. If this post was actually up on the band's MySpace site, though, it has since disappeared. http://www.examiner.com/x-427-Chicago-Rock-Music-Examiner~y2009m2d22-Lollapalooza-2009-lineup-rumors-abound-Who-will-play

I think the idea for using cafepress is because any profit goes to Oxfam, plus we already have a shop there. so each person would order individually from the shop, rather than one person having to pay hundreds of pounds out & hope to get all their money back.

so's the bit where the Will puppet walks right up to the camera lense :D

wet is better than cold :P but we won't be wet if we get some of these: (notice the handy, clear, yellow one!!) or the eco version

Don't think so. We want a Wembley one for ease of spotting people at Wembley, as well as being noticed. We can do the same design minus the Wembley for those who can't make it to Wembley. just need to put something else in place of Wembley, maybe Viva La Vida '09?

crikey quick reply!!! ty :D

I'll answer my own question with timeanddate.com :D not quite!!!! sydney <iframe src="http://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i1ffh3jb/n240/fn2/fs20/fcf00/ftb/tt0" frameborder="0" width="568" height="30"></iframe>

is it Tuesday in Australia yet? :P

so does this mean you're joining Ian in his "Say No to Squee Tees for Wembley" campaign? :P :laugh3:

still working my way through re-reading Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. Have just finished the fourth "Industrial Magic". Am contemplating whether to move on to "Haunted" or whether to take a break and pick up the second of Rebecca Jane Collins "Pemberley Chronicles"

nice summary & theories :D yup indeedie. I'm a bit confused about where Frank fits in though. He was supposed to pilot Flight 815, but didn't, which is how he ended up as one of Widmore's boat people. So why is he flying the plane? :confused:

if its this thread, its on one of about 130 pages :P

if you keep being such a killjoy, you'll find yourself in one of these :P :

i like to be prepared :P if I need to go shopping, I need time to plan :laugh3:

No bull down at the old Bush If the NME gigs have quietly dropped their hostility to the Brits, Wednesday's War Child gig, celebrating 15 years of the rock-affiliated charity, makes no secret of its allegiances. The audience is packed in long beforehand but proceedings don't start until 11pm, giving joint headliners Coldplay and The Killers plenty of time to digest their ceremony dinner across town before heading for Shepherds Bush. The pay-off is the gig's status as the unofficial Brits aftershow, and a rumour mill buzzing with speculation about who else will appear onstage tonight - a "special guests" slot is scheduled. The chatter on the venue's bush telegraph has Brits presenter Kylie reprising "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" with Coldplay - the British four-piece covered it during their Glastonbury headlining slot in 2005 - and more far-fetched speculation involves a Chris Martin/Iron Maiden hook-up. But besides these fantasy collaboration pub games, much of the evening's fun involves gawping down at the venue's VIP-only first floor to see which stars are in attendance. Before the fun of the guest section can begin - a quick scan downstairs reveals that Richard Ashcroft, Courtney Love and Neil Tennant are all present and possible contenders (though unlikely in Love's case) - there's the small matter of the two scheduled gigs. A concise hour-long performance suits co-headliners the Killers well, allowing them to deliver a terrific Noughties jukebox of a set without delving into the dustier corners of their so-so second album. "Mr Brightside", "Human" and "When You Were Young" are present and correct, but the conspiracy theorists among us take note that their barnstorming usual closer "All These Things That I've Done" is suspiciously absent. Almost 10 years in a rock-star bubble have done nothing to diminish Chris Martin's populist touch or his heroic levels of uncool. Skipping across the stage at the start of Coldplay's set, fidgeting and chattering excitedly, he might have been custom-built for a feelgood occasion like this, the idea that nice guys win and Hollywood actresses dig nerdy dancing made flesh. Coldplay focus on their notionally conflicted (though really very accessible) latest album Viva La Vida, and also lay on a generous smattering of past hits while various audience members leave their seats and slip backstage for the encore. Iron Maiden, heart-breakingly, aren't among them, nor is Kylie, but the appearance of Gary Barlow alongside Coldplay for the first of two collaborations makes better musical sense. Take That's mid-Nineties songs provided an early template for some of the piano-led sob stories on Coldplay's 2000 debut; Coldplay returned the favour by inspiring the stadium sound which has driven Take That's hugely successful comeback. "Back For Good" is an obvious choice and as wonderful as ever, though neither Martin's nor Barlow's vocals are particularly audible above the communal singalong. But they call in back-up for the final salvo, a rousing version of "All These Things That I've Done" with the Killers lending the song and some extra heft, and a messianic Bono pacing in midway through to consecrate the group jam. "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier," sing representatives of four of the world's biggest acts, as 2,000 cameraphones are held aloft to capture the moment. In the early hours of Thursday morning, Brandon Flowers's famously nonsensical lyric feels like the most affirming sentiment in the world. This is how every major charity gig since time immemorial has ended of course; everyone onstage, hugs all round and Bono having the last word. But whatever your musical allegiance or feelings about celebrity charity fests, it's impossible not to marvel at the sight of a stadium supergroup gracing a stage more used to hosting indie mid-leaguers. Only a committed cynic would wish they'd stayed at home to watch the Brits. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/feb/22/warchild-killers-coldplay-bono-u2-take-that

Prince Harry hits the roof over Natalie Imbruglia's bash AUSTRALIAN pop princess Natalie Imbruglia is helping mend Prince Harry's broken heart after his split from longtime girlfriend Chelsy Davy. The 24-year-old prince and Imbruglia are reported to be in frequent text contact after the two were seen flirting at the singer's 34th birthday bash in London. The prince slipped unnoticed into the fancy dress party in a surgeon's outfit, a more appropriate choice of attire than the Nazi uniform and swastika armband he wore to a costume party in 2005. He spent the night drinking and chatting with Imbruglia, who reportedly described the prince as "sexy and very charming". The Daily Mail claims the couple were introduced by Sam Branson, the 23-year-old son of multi-millionaire Sir Richard who is set to arrive in Melbourne today. Imbruglia has been linked to a number of rock stars and actors since her separation from Silverchair's Daniel Johns last year, but royalty is a first. Prince Harry is recently single following his split from Zimbabwean Chelsy Davy, who called off their five-year relationship because of his army commitments. But the Aussie singer may find herself in a royal mess when she hits Australian shores this week to launch her new film Closed for Winter. Imbruglia is expected to catch up with an old married flame, Coldplay's Chris Martin. The musical pair, who dated in 2001, have rekindled their friendship while working on Imbruglia's new album in London. Coldplay's Australian tour starts on Friday in Perth before hitting Melbourne next week. Insiders say Imbruglia is hitching a ride on the first leg of the tour. Gossips are already using the reunited friendship as the latest ammunition about Martin's marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow. Paltrow has been absent for most of Coldplay's current world tour. A US act who worked with Martin and Imbruglia last month said the Australian singer was even friendly with Martin and Paltrow's children, Apple and Moses. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25091735-661,00.html

where's all the excited people hiding? not long now folks!!!
