Dreadful Headliners NOT Confirmed

[GlastoEls]

The webmaster was the poster of said hypothetical headliners though. He was mocking the people on this board that usually say they want said hypothetical headliners.

[GlastoEls]

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.

[4AssedMonkey]

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.

[GlastoEls]

Fair cop. I suffer from involuntary sarcasm. I don't mean to be a prick but sometimes it just comes out like that.

[givememoney]

To be fair, Muse and U2 are pretty deadful!

[BlackHole2006]

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

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!

I'm so glad we have Neil as our moral barometer! Blessed are we that he is there to mock our personal tastes so freely...

Because I feel you should wield your authority with a little more grace and tact than the average punter on this site!

You'll always be disappointed if you expect better of others than you can manage yourself.

Sorry guys and gals, you all had your legs pulled and mostly fallen for it. It's been a great day

[beamends]

Ah the last refuge of the internet troll. If too much criticism is received, claim it was all a wind-up and you didn't really mean it. Textbook....

[eFestivals]

Sorry mate, it's for real. But please do keep digging.

Then it's sadder than trolling. Oh well, you're grow up one day.

At least flags won't be an issue.......

[beamends]

...

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 )

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?

[beamends]

who's squabbling?

you must be in serious need of attention for some reason...

some counselling might help

[beamends]

I never understood how the whole Beadle-esque 'haha you believed me, you fool' thing works really....

you say somehing, the other person says "really?" and you say "no, fooled you, haha"

is that it?

and then bobby ewing got out of the shower ..... what a load of shite ..

[MEGABOWL]

Absolutely - but then perhaps I believe in fairies, and perhaps I'm idealistic. But I want to be like me. Shame you're so young, yet so cynical!

[MEGABOWL]

You strike me as being one of those "hard to please" people. You know the sort, you could find a gazillion pound note and would then complain it's too big for your wallet.
