I don't want to bang on here, or have this come across as a personal vendetta, so I'll clarify my point.

I have absolutely no problem with Metallica/Rage/KoL or any other act you care to mention and would be happy to see them at Glastonbury. BUT, if this is the sort of music that floats your boat, then you are more likely to see acts you like at Reading or Download. Rightly or wrongly, Glastonbury doesn't seem to book the heavier end of the rock spectrum that often.

That's all I'm saying. OK?

Difficult to keep the headliners fresh every year and places like T churn out dross like Snow Patrol, KOL, Killers every second year.

Glasto at least is a little bit brave with it's headliners and does push the boat out. Last year wasn't my choice of Pyramid headliners and instead I saw

Fri - Doves

Sat - Wonderstuff

Sun - Prodigy

All fanfeckintastic. That said a lot of ppl went to the Pyramid and had a ball.

This year, again they have pulled out the stops.

U2 - A band that never play festival ?? Amazin that Glasto have them and this could be a Red Rocks moment in the making

Muse - Probably most popular modern band with amazin stage show

Stevie - Don't fancy his stuff very much and will go see something else. That said nobody can last that long and remain popular without being an absloute legend. First class booking but not my taste

Just can't fathom out the moans and groans about headliners but get yer £40 back if it bugs you that much and let someone have the ticket that wants to be there.

Yes - that IS okay. But in discussions over SPECIFIC bands (i.e. those three versus our actual headliners) I'd prefer if you didn't take some sanctimonious tone and tell me to "Google Reading or Download". That's the difference.

I'm going to do a long boring post now cause I'm bored.

I'm exctatic about U2 and Stevie Wonder headlining and I think it is a great coup for the festival.

Not arsed about Muse playing but hoping for CHIC to headline the Jazz World or The Hives to headline John Peel, that would be epic. Although I'm really happy for the people that do give a shit about Muse playing and I hope he pulls it off for you guys :P

The truth is their not Dreadfull they are a huge coup for the festival and even the people that don't like them perticularly are saying that.

Stop trying to act all cool and just face the fact that they are a great and electic set of headliners, something for everyone in there!

:P ...

oh no... what a fool i feel

there's 2 possibilities here...

1... you're lying, and you've decided to say you were tricking us all along (oooh you prankster :P )

or

2... it was a trick all along (oooh, you prankster) and people believed you.... Imagine it, people actually believing what someone says

either way, you're a twat, partly 'cause no-one will believe you next time... happy?

    • I’ve also got a media contact who gets hospitality tickets, he says their allocation of them is slightly reduced this year. The few Off site ultra expensive glamping/hospitality ticket packages mostly sold out a while ago. Some just after the 2025 festival ended. 
    • No one mentioned this here yet, but regular tickets for Sunday, the 30th of August, are again on sale
    • Not seen anything on socials or main website so far on the Bimble Inn line-up.
    • Current top 10 - constantly changing, though  Pulp  Madra Salach  Angine De Poitrine / Brakes (worried they're gonna clash)  Joshua Idehen  Anna von Hausswolff Super Fury Animals  Bab L'Buz  SLAG Model/Actriz  Modern Woman 
    • It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
