Well see now I have to get tickets so Madonna can have someone nearer her own age in the crowd.

[Jono]

I'm quite excited that The Fratellis are back again. I had shivers last year watching their live set on the red button.

Yay, start the lick arsing of Madonna... now!

[popbitcher]

it looks a little bit bland without the in new music we trust stage and bbc introducing stage. some good artists there though. but why nelly and usher?

[Jono]

but why nelly and usher?

They've gone all Glasto on us.

But a good line-up spread out over two days. Still fingers crossed for Ting Tings. Hopefully they'll schedule them for the point Nelly or Usher are on.

Saturday is the best day

[Hammer]

I wouldn't pay to see that. If I was going (which I'm not), I think I'd spend all my time at the In New Music We Trust stage, based on that leaked line-up.

[Jono]

Looking forward to the Mills and Moyles mixes.

Zane Lowe vs Scott Mills

I can't wait.
Have to apply for the Saturday now, still not done it

[Monitorabbit]

Wow! No wonder you said it was good .
That is a fantastic outdoor line up!

Zane vs Scott - could really be fun, that one
