I'm leaning towards putting mine back in the pot right now. I go to Glastonbury for the music above everything else. In previous years, it has been the premier location to see artists. Whether it is a megastar like McCartney, or just something a bit of a "Wow I didn't expect that" such as Miley Cyrus. I love the festival, but the first thing I need is to at least have 4 or 5 must-sees on my list. The poster gave me two (It would have been 4, but Idles, Dua and Fontaines all clash), so I'm already settling for folling mates around and just watching whatever they want to watch. Normally, I wouldn't mind that, provided I have a few locks for my weekend. I also do not drink or partake in anything else, and I feel like a lot of the festival is enhanced by a bit of intoxication. Completely sober, I usually see everything the site has to offer across Wednesday and Thursday, before enjoying all the music on the last few days. I personally don't see the value in spending probably around £1500 between myself and my partner to go away and just take in some new music, when that money could go towards a great holiday or a bunch of gigs/smaller festivals where the music is more suited for us. I get one big trip a year, which is usually Glastonbury, but I think my money may be better off elsewhere this year, and I think somebody else would be better off taking my place. That's not easy to say (I nearly cried when the lineup came out) as I love being at the festival, but this year's festival just isn't catered towards me.

I came back to somebody (don't know if it was definitely you) and disagreed massively about IDLES on Other... But then I heard TANGK and saw them in Brixton. Best libe band at the moment and deserve this new wave of success.

I think it's very telling that this place isn't buzzing. I don't think anybody would deny that there's a large population of people on this forum that are kind of music snobs. Near enough everyone on here will say some variation of the "It's not all about the..." line at some point. But the vibe on here this morning appears to be largely negative - It doesn't feel too far different from the vibe I was getting when 2020 was officially cancelled. I haven't dared to look at social media yet.

Considering the general discourse around festival lineups over the past decade or so, there's actually a very small number of white guys with guitars. No lads in bucket hats this year.

I just turned 30, and not a single person I know personally has said anything genuinely positive about it. The best I got was a "It's not all about the lineup" which was a very different tone to how that would usually be said 😂 Hope your daughters have a great time though

This is an all-time worst lineup for me. At £350 a ticket, I'll be putting mine back in the pot.

Second last on Other could be Confidence Man, which matches with a previous post

*content removed by site admin* If this is fake, it's the best I've seen so far. Strange why most of the names would be blurred. I can't make out a great deal there but definitely The National and Jamie XX on there

Imagine after all of this, Dua isn't even on the lineup tomorrow and it's Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks and Madonna

Nothing. It was supposed to be moved to June but I've not heard a thing.

My friend that works in the industry has just told me. Announced tomorrow

30 Seconds To Mars are posponing their tour

Thanks! Honestly, no idea really! I'm mainly just hoping Coldplay aren't headlining 😂

My girlfriend met him at the pop pop pop up shop, and asked him if they were playing Glasto. He told her they weren't, and said they have other shows that weekend. When I posted it on here, somebody replied to say he'd said to them that they were not playing as they were not offered a good enough slot

It's officially poster drop day. Today is my 30th so I'm guessing Emily has a gift for me
