UPDATE: The 2011 Splendour in the Grass line-up has been officially announced. SEE HERE FOR THE OFFICIAL LINE-UP.
--
As the rumours heat up for Splendour in the Grass, music website
the SPA is stating that a slew of emotive Brits are now on their way to Woodford. Unfortunately none of them are Radiohead.
Such acts include the recently reformed Brit-pop legends
Pulp, as well as big softies
Coldplay,
Elbow and
Noah and the Whale. The site doesn't cite a source beyond beyond the acts being "discovered", so chances are the confirmations - if true - will remain in place until the event is officially announced in a few weeks. Of interest: Elbow were the only band in such speculation that appeared on the
alleged line-up leak poster.
We
do know of course that the Kills, the Vaccines and Cornershop are playing the event.
Pulp only
recently announced their reunification in November, after disbanding in 1996. The UK act, led by Jarvis Cocker, are set to play their first reunion show on Friday 27 May 2011 at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, Spain, before heading home to perform at the Wireless festival in London's Hyde Park on Sunday 3rd July 2011.
UPDATE1: Kanye West, James Blake and more.
UPDATE 2: Gomez, Friendly Fires and more.
