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............

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
