I have seen Bloc Party 5 or so times now but the sound quality was poor. Wish I had gone to see The Doves instead.

Wish I had gone to see Franz Ferdinand instead of Bruce Springsteen. Stop talking about building a house out of music and play some!!

I also wish I would have gone to see Spinal Tap instead of Jason Mraz/The Script.

would have said blue instead of prod, but i think thats mainly coz i didnt get to the pit. was probs the only pl,ace it was amazing for the set.

not a big blur fan tho, but prodg left me a bit cold due to the short set. HOWEVER im glad i can say i saw Prodigy @ glastonbury. 1st time ever seen em live.

I shouldn't have wasted an hour and a half with Bruce Springsteen on Saturday night (should have watched Franz Ferdinand), but I made up for it on Sunday by going against my initial decision to see the Prodigy and watching Blur instead, who were incredibly good.

As always, you win some, you lose some :)

kind of wish id gone for florence instead of kasabian

im a huge kasabian fan, but where i was stood was in one of pyramid stages sound blackholes ,and i didnt enjoy it - by the time i decided to move the field was too busy and i wasnt going to push infront of someone who made a better sound choice than me - thats not the glasto way

but it did allow me to catch white lies for the second time of the weekend (who were awesome) so nil desperandum!!

on the plus side - picking bon iver over the 'boss' was the best decision ever - justin was incredible in the park - beautiful, haunting and epic - where as the boss, from what my mates said and from ive seen on the gogglebox, got the set horrendously wrong

have to disagree Tugger - he played ~Coma girl at the beginning and I thought he was playing for me personally, the last time i heard that song played live was at Newport TJ's on Strummers last tour a few weeks before he died, i did not care that i was the only one round me at front who knew words, what a brave start! two of my music icons merged

Plumped for Bruce thinking we could catch a few hits then go and see some Jarvis Cocker. Turned out he saved most of the big hits for the end of the set so we went to see some Jarvis. He was good but we couldn't get in (no surprise, it was about 11.30) and had to watch from outside which spoiled it somewhat.

      I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
