Prodigy last year. Average I thought. But in mitigation, I was very tired by the Sunday and had the raging trots, so maybe it was just my mood. Soooooo wish I'd gone with my gut and watched Blur.

The Prodigy in 2009...what a bunch of butt munchers...they seemed to forget it was a festival crowd, not their personal gang of warriors. The sound was also mighty crappy.

I’ve only been to a couple of Glasto’s but for me it was The Fleet Foxes last year. Especially since I think I could have been watching Paolo’s secret performance at the time (and probably should have since he’d got us backstage). Maybe had more to do with the fact that I instantly went off their album when I got back from the festival.

Pronghorn at Club Dada last year. Thought it would be a good starter for the festival, but left half way through (along with most of the back of the tent) bored s**tless.

wow, see i really enjoyed the prodigy! such a good end to the weekend! There was a sort of 50:50 split in my group between prodigy & blur and at the end everyone thought they'd made the right decision.

I'd have to say... eagles of death metal. Too early, plus i wasn't at the front - i think thats why

but i walk away from that very underwhelmed, especially cos i saw them at reading in 08 and they were amazing!

      2026 line-up speculation

      By SweepingTheNation · Posted

      People seem to have got obsessed about 'secret sets' at all festivals this year even when there aren't any spaces other than, in EOTR's case, the usual late Folly sets that 90%+ of the time are from artists who are already playing.

      To be fair @Superscally barely mentions the running thing. Very quiet about it 😘

      I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
