...and lots of other cheesy pop acts over the years!

All played, all got pretty bloody big audiences, shitloads of people whinged incessantly for f**king months about all of them...these artists STILL PLAYED and noone got hurt!

If it means that a large tranche of the ever increasing numbers of kids (and their parents that attend with them) have something to go and see and that they are going to really enjoy then why the f**k not eh?

Lady Gaga pulled in a f**king huge audience and HOW long did the bitching go on for here?

Ditto for Jay Z! Both were pretty stunning performances that had the press and the audiences very surprised and thousands of folk had an awesome time.

Rihanna playing Glastonbury is an inspired idea. Didnt see anyone complaining about similar single female artists such as VV Brown, Gabriela Cilmi, Roisin Murphy. All have more or less one big sing along hit. Why...this girl is a superstar and ahem...a bit hiphop/R&B...does it warrant the bullshit reaction that is laid down by some folk!

A decent 6pm slot on Friday/Saturday. Lily was brilliant in that slot this year ...reckon Rihanna will be too!

I can assure you I complained about the acts you mention.

Oh and as for that list of cheesy pop acts, they are a bunch of utter anuses listened to only by cretins.

when Lady Gaga played last year I stood in the middle of the field with my arms folded bellowing "what IS this racket? Why, she isnt even playing an instrument!" at the top of my voice

"I would love to be there," she said. "Even if I’m not headlining I’d love to be there. It's a great festival and a great platform for me to be on."

I'd quite like to nail her, as she's insanely fine.

But this, no. Im not having. No way. I dont care how stunning you are love, you're never going to headline our festival. 'A great platform for ME to be on'. RAGE.

Glastonbury tries to represent differnet cultures and religions as best they can.

But you seem to be a person who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about so you wont understand that. One of those "Glastonbury is too commercial" types.

Actually - wasn't it her Umbrella song that cursed the netire summer of 2007? The rain started the week it went to Number 1 and miraculously stopped the week it was knocked off.

I think I can say that for her contribution to the most persistently wet Glastonbury anyone can remember, she really shouldn't be allowed any where near the place.

As I have said, I am all for variety, but I am not sure Rhianna is a risk we can take - No Rain No Compromise!!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • 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.
