I guess what you gotta think is how they are being released?

the best part of a month ago now, Emily told efestivals that bands would be announced every Tuesday from 6th April.

It seems they'd forgotten about Easter tho, so we got an announcement on the 7th instead, then the following Wednesday, and now we're on Tuesdays. So next announcement will be next Tuesday, I'm pretty sure.

I will be at the snooze-a-thon as you call it    How you can call it that i dont know!! Did you go 2007?

I will try some other bands out sure, Im sure ill find some good acts there. I think its just initial disappointment.

That's the thing - I wouldn't watch Muse if you paid me and would rather syringe my ears using sandpaper and vinegar, because I think they're extremely bland, whiny and boring.

But they're a great booking for the festival.

And yes - I have seen them before - their headline set in 2004.

Initial disappointment will hopefully turn to real excitement if you give some new acts a try.

HAHA. Are Kasabian that bad?

Worse.

I may not like them, but at least Muse have some talent.  Kasabian sure as hell don't, unless fooling millions into thinking they're anything other than monkey vomit is talent.  But that's not for here.

Ahh gutted Prince playing 3 European festivals but not Glasto.

You make a good point. Im really not trying to be a bitching fan boy, looking forward to the other announcements, and getting into a few new bands. Got any reccomendations?

Wonder if she'll bring Freshlyground with her for a rendition of the World Cup anthem

[TheSeventhOne]

Just me that's genuinely looking forward to seeing Shakira then? So be it.

Doesn't look like it's been mentioned but Shakira is one of the few genuine pop superstars whose ethos very much fits with the festival's, particularly the work she does on education, literacy and poverty in Latin America.

People slating the line-up because of press hype, rumours that weren't true, and the dream line-up in their heads.....

Just the one.

It admittedly looks rubbish one fest announcing Prince while Glasto announces Shakira but I suspect Roskilde are coughing up major league wedge for him. If performers won't take the money on offer at Glastonbury when it's been good enough for Bowie, McCartney, Springsteen, Young, Wonder, U2, Jay-Z etc then balls to them, frankly.

Whatevers available, if shes riding the cotton pony that week I'll drop anchor in pooh bay.

Too early for this......

No it isn't.

I'll share with anyone else. If she has got a visit from Aunt Flo and you're too much of a wuss I'll have it. I can towel myself down after
