Would love it to be Depeche Mode

However i think it will be

Fri U2

Sat Stones

Sun Dylan

Saturday is always the biggest band / artist only the Stones are bigger than U2

Dylan has to be the ultimate old fogey...

Runners up

Kasabian

Muse

Coldplay

Okay, so I've been speaking to my people all day and I've been given permission to reveal the bigger band than U2 who may or may not be headlining on either the saturday or sunday.

The Goombay Dance Band :P

You heard it here first! now go tell your friends.

Paul Rogers is the lad, and he left them earlier this year. Queen are now without a singer and a peddling out the last with the new rockband game they have. Shame really, am a big fan! This is that without Freddie.....

I will point out that this list was compiled in 2004

Hence Coldplay and Muse are missing - no doubt there are others that would be climbing - King of Leon?

as for my opinion on the bigger than U2 debate

Stones or Led Zeppelin for Saturday

Muse/Radiohead/Coldplay for Sunday and despite my allegiance to Coldplay I am hoping for Muse! (seen the other two this year)

I know Led Zep are largely defunct but we know that Robert Plant has been approached though he has the Alisson Kraus branck which i would avoif like the plague; but it would be a sweet moment to have the inspiration for the festival at its 40th anniversary - particularly as there is no way they will be able to do the 50th!

Hey Neil, did you ever get someone in See to give you a ticket breakdown? I would still be curious to know that answer...........

Looking at the recent poll on the OS regarding flags it suggests that many more may in fact be traveling to Glasto then you think...........It may be Brits voting on hols............but its not all that............1% international goers at the fest is looking too low to me............

    • Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more. 
    • I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.
    • It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.
    • Shambles. Transport and comms garbage. Been looking forward to this since last June and have never been to a more disorganised festival in 30+ years.  Why we were told the whole festival was cancelled for the night if they had put back shows for a few hours?  Pissed off to say the very least and put a huge downer on the rest of the weekend.
