I love these threads, they keep the forum fresh and exciting as its very rare there's anything along these lines posted.

Looking at older Glastonbury lineups it seems it used to be a festival for the youth but these days the people who wont budge and look down on the new generation cant bare to let go.

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

The full line up hasn't been released yet so hopefully there will be something for everyone.

i can see the thinking behind this post, last year the headliners were very modern. KoL first headlining set at a festival just before they went stratospheric to become the most popular band in Britain, Jay Z, hip got EVERYONE talking about the festival and The Verve who most people in their early 20’s remember as one of the first bands they got into. The festival was a resounding success, won festival of the year, critics and punters alike lauded it as possibly the best glasto of all time and a lot of the reason for this form what I can gather was the mix between glasto veterans and newbies. This year is sold out ultra fast due to the success and the gambles took last year and the way they paid off. Music scenes and buzzes, excitements and genres have ALWAYS sprung out of youthful people, that’s what music is essentially, a youth movement. 50’s, 60’s till now, all the exciting, genre shaping music that lasts is being made and appreciated by teens and people in their twenties. I also believe Glastonbury has taken their foot off the ball bay getting in 2 60 year olds and a band of 40 year olds as headliners. These after all are what get shown on the Beeb and effectively what the festival as a whole is judged on by the media. A band on top of their game and at the summit of their powers, a world superstar in their prime and returning legends seem like a good mix to me. Not 2 men of pensionable age and a half decent 90‘s band.

All very good points but the section I applied doesn't apply as much anymore. There are very little genre changing, unique acts anymore.

not my bag but my dubstep and dubtech dj mates would strongly disagree.

Plus only last year or so you had the like of Klaxons which imo was music that had not been done before. Justice are different, a mix of funk, electro and pop that = heady summer vibes

you're talking shite mate. Why dont you wait until the line up is announced before criticising it?

Bellend.

[IRISHMANC]

I doubt dubstep music will make a massive cultural impact in the UK or elsewhere, don't get me wrong I do like that stuff but it's quite a small genre. The acts you have named are rehashes of existing styles and genres.

Acts that define a generation I was meaning like Elvis, Dylan, The Beatles, The Who, ACDC, Nirvana, Iron Maiden, Oasis etc etc and then movements like Punk, New Romantics, Rave etc etc we don't really have that anymore. We don't have a huge movement or defining act.

[Breeze]

...and a half decent 90‘s band.

not this again

[russycarps]

No very Glasto mate?

[IRISHMANC]

The guy is talking absolute bollocks and needs to be told.

glastonbury sold and judged on headliners?

last year was best glasto of all time?

blur "half decent"?

complaining that the line up isnt fresh before it's even announced?

The guy is an absolute balloon

[russycarps]

Fact of the matter is the festival was in serious trouble before last year and is now riding high again.

irishmanc is talking a lot of sense, but it is worth waiting for the full line up. i agree that KoL and the Verve were inspired bookings.
