An interesting way to secure a later slot

Babyshambles have got themselves "stuck on the motorway" en route to the V Festival, and so have wound up headlining the second stage.

Yes, we're not quite sure how only Babyshambles have managed to get get stuck - despite all of the bands who played Chelmsford making the same trip and not turning up four hours late, but if Pete Doherty says the dog ate his homework or something, we're not going to see that as some sort of lame excuse.

NME explains the rehuffling in the light of this:

They take over from The Coral who had been asked to play second set at the festival because Rodrigo Y Gabriela had pulled their performance due to exhaustion. Ironically the Mexican duo had been promoted to play the tent after original headliners Bright Eyes dropped out due to illness.

As a result of all this, somehow The Klaxons are now going to have to play the winner of of Rushden & Diamonds versus Newport in the next round of the FA Cup.

Is this another attempt to win Kate back?

Yeah, sorry about that. I did my best with my tractor slowing them down, but the buggers sneaked past me.
