Well I'd rule out AC/DC as Download had to jump through hoops to get them and I thought GnR were exclusively booked elsewhere as well.

Foos are studio bound in September but I think TCV will do Glastonbury to finish off their tour before going back to their bands.

To be honest HRC has screwed up by not announcing Sat headliner sooner - most people will hold off buying until they know they are going Friday to Sunday! So far am hopeful of a great Saturday headliner

The organisers definitely messed up big time by not announcing sooner who is playing Saturday and also by not announcing more acts on the Sunday.

Have the Friday or Sunday sold out yet?

I'm actually growing quite impatient with the organisers' hesitance to announce more acts.

Just thinking, what about Counting Crows, Goo Goo Dolls, Weezer, Soul Asylum, Paul Westerberg, Manic Street Prechers, R.E.M., Alice N Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Ben Folds?

Probably too Alt Rock but just some bands I would really love to see.

Love the version of Paradise City that Slash recorded with Cypress Hill and Fergie and Fergie sounds perfect on the song.

Pre-ordered the special fan pack of Slash's album which should be a belter.

Was rumored for both Download and Sonisphere unless things have changed.

    • 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...
