Poster day isn't as good as it used to be

I mean this in the nicest of ways. Some of you need a year or two off Glasto. Like every festival there's repeat bookings sure, but it doesn't mean it isnt a strong line up!

Real ones will know that you judge the lineup on the Monday after the festival

Nice one Emily on the majority female headliners edit for clarity in case people feel offended by nice one Emily . I’m happy Emily is working towards her objective and will be seeing Dua lipa and really looking forward to the party

Idles headlining other is embarrassing. I think SZA is objectively weak too, they must have really struggled - no way that was plan A B or C

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

Not sure I get the hate for this line-up. Feel like the worst type of Glastonbury is a top-heavy Glastonbury. Last year felt like that. This feels like a deep Glastonbury with a couple of gambles up top. There are a lot of bands across all stages I’d be very keen to watch. Can’t stomach Coldplay playing AGAIN for the third time in my Glastonbury lifetime. But I get why they’re there.

Not acts which I've learned from the poster but some smaller names that are really worth checking out.. - Soccer Mommy - She has done several albums 90's american indie rock sound. Supported The National at Ally Pally last year FFO Phoebe Bridgers. - Bar Italia - released debut last year I think. Post punk indie - FFO Fontaines DC/Idles - NewDad - I think they they have one album and some ep's - dream pop/Indie - FFO big thief, lush, wolf alice - Mannequin Pussy - new album was out a couple of weeks ago. Punky but then also shoegazy as well. FFO Idles, Ride - Barry can't swim - Debut album was out last year. sort of "lofi" Dance music, in a similar vibe to Fred again. FFO Fred Again -Alvvays - On about album 3 I think. Jangly indie pop FFO c86 bands I know lot's of indie there but I do listen to a lot of indie 🙂 also, I know people like Squid have been around a while but they are great post punk indie and Lankum was one of the albums of last year, dark folk I guess. I know I bang on about Nia Archives a bit but she really is fantastic. Jungle music very 90's influenced.

Why is that different to clashing two male options? This is exactly what should be happening with a balanced gender split. Female isn't a genre.

everyone whinges about the lineup poster., goes and has the time of their life. lineups as good as always.

I read it as a positive post from someone wanting a resale ticket

My tuppence worth. I won't watch any of those Pyramid headliners as they just aren't the sort of music I'm into, but rather than grumbling about it constantly I'll wait until the full line up comes out and find a suitable alternative, which given there's over 100 stages won't be difficult. Lets be honest, all the moaning is because Glastonbury have constantly pulled it out of the bag for the last 15 years and now we have a year that's slightly 'underwhelming' everyone throws their toys out of the pram. The easiest thing to do is if you don't like the line-up, is put the ticket back in the pot, have a year off and we will see you in the autumn for the 2025 ticket sale...that's what I would do if I didn't like the line up that much, although I know better, and 5 days of camping with my mates, having a laugh and creating memories will be much better than being moody at home complaining because Coldplay are headlining again.

Just because the lineup this year isn’t to certain people’s tastes doesn’t mean Glastonbury ‘isn’t for them’. £350 is a lot of money and people are within their rights to criticise what they perceive to be a weak lineup, much like you are within your rights to praise it

She dialled in the lineup.

Headliners apart, it seems to be made up of entirely Roundhouse/Hammersmith Apollo sized acts. Pretty unimaginative. I fear that Glastobury's imperial phase is ending. Still an amazing weekend, but the real memorable stuff, the once in a lifetime, the stuff to keep you nourished when you're sitting in a nursing home wrapped in an unchanged nappy is going to be away from any of those main stages.

Same moans as every year - people even said this sort of crap about Paul f**king McCartney. Will be an amazing week, loads of amazing artists on there! Proper buzzing for it now, only three months to go!

Genuinely made up for the guys who were hoping for a shite lineup .

Indeed. My missus and her mates will be at Coldplay. But the festival isnt above criticism. 5 times in 17 festivals is a lot. Headlined 3 of the last 10 festivals?

Can I please request that anyone who is not happy, or complaining, about the line-up to not pay their balance, to give me a better chance in the resale. It is the only fair thing to do. I'm absolutely gutted not to be there (regardless of line-up) Thanks in advance.

...well they're idiots

Justice will have far more

Correct. Fontaines clashing...not so much.

I don't have many other acts in mind. Time was Glastonbury would drop a poster and there would be three or four acts you'd never even considered as a possibility that made you sit up and think 'wow!' (Art Garfunkel, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus all recent examples). There's nothing like that on here, that's what makes it underwhelming to me. I rattled off a list of decent acts on the lineup earlier (think you actually replied to it). All good acts that I'd enjoy seeing with a cider in hand, but also very predictable bookings. All stuff I could see pretty much anywhere on any given a day. I go to Glastonbury for the extraordinary, and this all feels very ordinary.

Criticise, yeah - I'm not saying that people can't, but to deprive someone of a ticket "on the basis I like the lineup" is poor behaviour. Anyone who sees that lineup and sacks their ticket off for that reason alone needs to have a word with themselves and start going to festivals where it's only about a few names at the top. If you can't have fun and find 10+ awesome acts at this year's fest then... Glastonbury ain't for you.

Missed out on a ticket this year, was absolutely devastated at the time and been dreading this day for months. Glasto know they can throw their weight around to justify the £360. They could have Basel Brush headline and people would still go. Whether that’s right or wrong I don’t know but it’s just the way it is. First time lurkers/ people going for the first time, do not let it bother you if you hate the line up. It’s still an unbelievable experience.. the weather is 10 x more important imo. They’ll always be something to do. Have a toffee apple cider on my behalf and get stuck in! Enjoy all!!

This has to be one of the best lineups - I love it. The clashes are going to be killer. I am so hyped for this.

Why? no clashes?

they should have been given headline on the other instead of disclosure imo

Is it ok to say that the line up is a massive disappointment BUT you will have an amazing time anyway?

Paddy Power need to do a Glasto Fan denial... some people chat absolute bubbles 😄

You’d say SZA was headlining Other and IDLES Woodsies, but both got bumped when Madge/Stevie didn’t happen. Would make sense.

Hope Emily reads this and strips moaner tickets. Nowt wrong with that.

A festival line-up almost as bad as Sziget's. That takes some skill 😉

Btw we should definitely grab a beer at some point this year Like, some of us have been around for a while in this forum so it would be cool Yeah I'm just going home from the pub that's why i came up with this rn Password will be 'the wet leg slot'

They've had years of practice.

High Vis was the best surprise for me. Seen them a few times over the last year & they're class

Looks like @Supernintendo Chalmers called it... Northernangel! FloorFiller! CalGon! Can you hear me, CalGon! Your opinions took one hell of a beating! Your opinions took one hell of a beating! (Please take this in the jovial way it was intended 😘)

This made me laugh!

Jaysus lads, relax. It’s gonna be brilliant. It always is.

Dua and possibly Coldplay for me. I love Dua, she’s going to be amazing on the pyramid.

I span the pull ring round so it was the wrong way and just gently prized it up a bit so I could see the code without opening the can!

I went for the first time last year and my fave day was the Thursday where I saw 0 bands. You will have an amazing time regardless. Plus- plenty more to be announced including some surprises for sure. Last year has the Foo Fighters who weren't on the poster. Big names can still come

Yeah wow that Glastonbury lineup makes me even more excited about Primavera. When every other festival is clearly struggling to find exclusive moments to make their festival unmissable, Primavera has secured the best set of names. Jai Paul, Troye Sivan, Pulp, Vampire Weekend, Lana all missing from the Glastonbury lineup and funnily enough the names that make the Primavera poster really pop to me.

I've stuck a few songs from everyone on the 5 stages part of the poster so that I can find a few more people that I'll want to see. Already added Blondshell to my list https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5uEj7lV2oTja7OMw6CtJI3?si=88223b24aa7b4324

That don't impress me much.... sorry.

Get a new husband

One thing I'm slightly concerned about is that the main stage isn't drawing the massive crowds to keep other lower stages (with some big names) from being overcrowded...

I'm just sooo glad I was at 2022! Not going to get any better than that is it. That was my most magic festival. Just seems like some HUGE missed opportunities this year, must just come down to cost and an industry shift in general that festivals aren't worth playing for the money and best to stick to your own tour 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm 35...seems like they've just picked the most boring acts from 'my day' and stuck them on a poster because they would never have been asked to play back then but they're so gagging to say 'they've played glasto' that they're doing it now for cheap to fill up the lineup. Lol...just what it looks like to me However, I REALLY hope this means areas like Theatre and Circus and the greenfields etc get some extra traffic and well deserved attention from crowds this year. Those areas are so special and unique. Also, I can't wait for the late night lineups this year 👏🏼👏🏼 I'll have a blinder regardless 😊

Faithless, The Breeders, This is the Kit, London Grammar, Fontaines, half of Woodsies - especially ALVVAYS, Squid, Jordan Rakei, Black Pumas, Jungle, Justice, Last Dinner Party, Bloc Party, Confidence Man, IDLES, the National, Michael Kiwanuka, PJ Harvey, Little Simz, LCD Soundsystem, Coldplay. That's pretty bloody awesome and I have been selective here. If anyone hands their ticket back, on the basis of the lineup alone - amazing. I will drink your salty tears instead of a Berocca and pray that the likes of @nikkic get your ticket. Maybe Glastonbury isn't for you?

I meant the graphic design was sh*t. Lineup will be fine, maybe just have to find the GREAT stuff...but... IDLES HEADLINING OTHER IS GLORIOUS
