not a bad line up sum class acts there!!
the line up is not so good
it let me know honestly, was expecting big american bands like metallica
Fabulous varied Glasto lineup as usual!
A lot of people will probably point to Shaking Stevens and Gilbert O Sullivan as a sign that standards have slipped, but they are on very early, it’s not like they are headlining. And sometimes these novelty acts can be more entertaining on the day than the bands you like.
Just a shame Massive Attack and Billy Clyro clash, and I’d like to see Jay-Z after all the fuss. Well it’s better than complaining there’s nothing to see!
It is shizzlin
Glastonbury has never been for music fans and this year’s line-up does nothing to change it.
It is incredible that the tickets are out before any artist confirm, and then, once you have bought it, you realised the crap of concert you are going to attend. I wont believe anymore in your “world famous” festivals… Jay Z, and Neil diamond…. pfffffffffff there are so many good and legendary british groups… but you dont care at all.
What a f**cking sh*t!!
hmmm.. not the best line-up in the world think t in the park has a far better line-up should still be good though, Jay-Z what were they thinking?!?!?!?
lineup crap….wheres babyshambles, arctic monkeys , the view???
Hi,
I think that the line-up is great, and though everyone is moaning about this years line-up, (especially jay-z) i think the music taste is changing, and funny enough so is mine.
I also love kings of leon, and think that sea sick steve is a legend.
Later…
Quality line up.It’s not about Jay Z though!
MGMT, The Cribs, Massive Attack, The Teenagers… amazing! I saw The Who there lat year and they were awesome!
I love the line up, Jay z is awesome news. Also the thought of watching James Blunt makes me go all giddy at the knees. Roll on Glastonbury..Yay!!
To be honest i don’t see anypoint in moaning about the lineup! JUST DON’T GO!
Yeah I’ve seen better but Panic! At The Disco are awesome live AND the Zutons! Yeah Metalica would be nice but this is still an awesome line up and I’m GLAD I’m going! Oh and about Jay-Z go watch someone else! Massive Attack and Billy Clyro are both awesome!
brilliant line up who cares about jay z when there is massive attack and biffy clyro as latter was amazing at beuitiful days
I heard that Sneaky Sound System would be playing here. The best electro/dance group in Australia, by a mile and probably the world, depending on tastes.I have seen them live and they are exceptional - one of those bands that seem better on stage than records. If you don’t believe me then check out their web site and My Space.
Hey, I like Massive Attack too.
crap
well im not overly exxcited about the line-up. i think that its good that theyve got a lot of variation there but i feel that there lacking a really big name to stand out, and sell the tickets!
But bands like biffy clyro and seasick steve, there what im going for…. aswell as the brilliant atmosphere that you can only get at glasto.
