How about Beck?

How about Devendra Banhart or stick on Flight of the Conchords...either one will be a perfect hangover cure from a huuuuuge Saturday night!

What about The Cure or The Smiths, both would be amazing playing acoustic sets.

Is clearly gonna be Slash now he has a new album out.

What are you on about, the guy above you saying a The Smiths acoustic set has surely got it nailed on?

No way to both of ya, Its obvious, cos Scouting For Girls have a new single/ album... 
haha

What about if Robert Wyatt did it. I'm sure he'll be convinced by the fact young Ornette Coleman and Prime Time are definitely 100% playing.

what ever the drug that leads to such pure optimism you are on, i want some...seriously, prime disbanded over ten years ago...wyatt will never play a festival, and why should he when there are idiots like me who would willingly pay £50 + to see him in a concert hal

He's perfect though. They're never gonna get someone over from the US solely for the slot and if Sufjan or someone like that came over for a load of shows then it wouldn't be special enough for the show. He's basically the only person whose sound fits it and Latitude are probably the only people groovy enough to throw money at him to convince him to get out of his shed.

Also it would get you and Moochoo into the countryside and into some fresh air for a while.

Love to see SLASH in the joanna newsom slot , the single of the new album was on radio today its very good,sounds a bit LED ZEP

I agree but I think that this slot will be reserved for something softer like Surfjan Stevens, though I could be wrong, he said he wanted something different so you never know....

I really don't think anyone else other than Ms Newsom should play it. What do we reckon the chances of that actually happening are? She's playing Green Man and touring atm.. speaking of Green Man, Beirut would also be sufficient in this slot.

If the talk of something radically different is true, then it's quite unlikely to be Joanna Newsom again. To be fair, I haven't heard her new album so she could have become a riddim-riding bashment MC for all I know.

Should probably just let THE PAINS have this slot now they're self confirmed for the Sunday. They could play the album about 3 times over in the hour slot.

I've been saying for a while it would be good is Newsom brought herself into the 20th century with some slick hip-hop producers. Imagine her singing about running away to the circus with rabbits and owls, or whatever, over Madlib and Sa-Ra Creative Partners.

I would usually agree with you about Beirut, but after seeing them last year performing what could have been the most underwhelming gig ever, I'll pass.

Bonnie Prince Billy on the other hand, who blew me away last year, would be more than welcome for that slot.

What about if they smoked John Tickle out of hiding and got him to sit around being nice for an hour?

He'd use his Brainiac science skills to find a way to survive without coming out.

What about Bob Dylan? He is headlining at Hop Farm with... Laura Marling, Mumford and Sons, Pete Doherty and Seasick Steve in the Line-up in early July.......  what you think?
