is it just me

[shuttlep]

or does anyone else think, "this is the best line up I have seen for many a year"

 

I mean take the headliners out who I don't care for, but everyone else on the list I want to see. it's not been like that for a while

[nikkic]

Agreed. Said in another thread that there's 26 acts on that list that are must see or really want to see. 

That's insane. 

[shuttlep]

I have been a tad in different about who is playing over the last few years , Thinking it got a but samey. But it's Glasto and I will go no matter what. This year I actually want to see things

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

From an objective point of view it's a ridiculously strong lineup at the top end. Biffy and Katy Perry could've legitimately been announced as Glastonbury headliners in their own right, with perhaps one of the actual headliners and nobody would've really batted an eyelid.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Doesn't really seem substantially better or worse than the average.  Plenty to see in the mid section with a largely awful top tier.

Katy Perry aside, not much came out of left field.

 

[FloorFiller]

Not the best for my personal taste but hard to deny that it's incredibly strong. Even with a ton of the lineup yet to come I can see many a clash coming my way.

[Odessa]

It's solid but not amazing for me. Tbh though if I didn't come on here I'd be a lot happier with it I think, the element of surprise being taken away for a lot of acts obviously means it's less exciting to see them on the poster as you knew it was coming.

[Filthy]

Bit disappointed, plenty I'd like to see but most I've seen before. Might have to weigh it up

[whisty]

Couldn't care less, sunshine, overcast, warm, sitting on reasonably dry grass hearing & seeing it all going on, that'll do for me.

Oh come on. There would have been a complete outpouring of bile if either of them were headlining Glastonbury! 

[jparx]

I think it's tremendous. Better than the last two years for me.

[WS_Jack_III]

So far it looks like one of those years where I go and don't worry too much about what is on.

 

Only 3 must sees so far.

[Divein]

I've just said to my mates, it's the 1st poster where I've had more than 5 must see acts.

im really excited now

Definitely. I would have been fuming if Biffy Clyro especially were booked as headliners. It would have been one thing a few years ago, but an absolutely abysmal booking now.

[Heartbreaker]

The complete opposite for myself, Radiohead aside, there are only two acts on there that I would go out of my way to see.

However, all of my group are drooling over this release as one of the best first releases in years.

I therefore assume my musical taste is a bit crap, or my friends have terrible taste.... I'm not sure which yet  

[Fladog]

I'm usually happy if there's just 5 or 6 bands on the complete line up that I want to see all weekend, but already I can count 6 must see's and the line up is not even half way announced, what a bloody good Thursday well played glasto

[shuttlep]

Ride , British Sea power , Warpaint, Boys Noise, Moderat, sasha and Digweed the avalanches, Gold Frapp

 

and there is still so so much that is to be released 

[fatyeti24]

Sande. At last. 

 

 

[Wooderson]

I've no ticket and this line up made me think I've a better chance at getting one now. If anything, it validated that the draw for me is the farm and the people. I'm largely unimpressed with the line up (parts of it are a wind up, surely) but as focussed as ever to go.

So do we think that she'll go on last, because her act needs the dark? Ed can be billed as the "headliner", but actually play before Sandé.

[Bradders]

There's 32 things on there I want to see. Unheard of levels. There are even a few must-sees I've never seen before, which is rare. It's a brilliant lineup.

Exactly this

[Tartan_Glasto]

I don't know why but I was expecting a line-up that would not be too much to my taste this year, I got the opposite. So many acts I can't wait to see!

Defo the best out of the Glastonbury's I've been to/

[liamium]

I see it as a first batch that will please and impress a lot, but it's light on must sees for me and heavy on names that provoke the conflation of 'a big booking' with 'a good booking'. main surprise personally is the can project, though even that is limited by the absence of Jaki

edit: but, as always, i'm under no illusion that i'll struggle for things to see and do

It's definitely a weaker poster than last year for me, but that's just down to taste. People are excited for The XX, The National, The Flaming Lips, who I don't care for, but can't deny they're exciting bookings and have went down well. Looking forward to the next few months as the undercard trickles out and a few more bigger acts get added.
