Dizzee Rascal Second Headliner...

[Desmond 48]

Sums up this years line up tbh. Dizzee Rascal playing second headliner on the Pyramid Stage is not good news. He hasn't earnt that slot yet. Not IMO anyway.

Poor move Eavis, very poor move.

[ampersand]

yeah, bit of a poor show. dunno what's worse, that or the scissor sisters. perfectly reasonable pyramid acts, but not that high up.

god this is getting boring. Remember people they are not planning the whole line up around you.

I am over the moon with dizzee rascal and scissor sisters including their slot.

Could not give a damn about U2 in fact I hate them and loads of other acts, but I am not bitching on about if they should play.

These words have been said before :

if you don't like it go somewhere else there is plenty of stuff to do.

[Desmond 48]

I'm allowed to complain if I see fit to do so.

[Langdale Wolf]

I think it's terrible news. Truly shocking. It's up there with the atrocities in Rwanda, the Beslan school siege, the Vietnam war and Mark McGhee keeping Steve Bull and Robbie Keane on the bench for the FA Cup Semi Final against Arsenal in 1998.

Certainly worthy of yet another thread.

It is terrible!! No way a 2nd headliner.

Shouldnt even be on the Pyramid stage.

[Desmond 48]

He's Pyramid Stage worthy, just not second headliner. I don't know why he's that far up

Just as we are allowed to call you an utter helmet.

You utter helmet.

A lot of people thought that he was going to be an Other Stage Headliner, and I don't think too many people would have had a problem with that. I'd put the Pyramid support slot and the Other Stage headline slot on about a par with one another. I think its just about right for him

[LondonTom]

Its happend get over it, at first i was bit like Ohhh, but its starting to make sense to me and I can where they are coming from with having these two sub headline. Especially Scissor Sisters before Muse.

[Tugger2k]

he was brilliant last year

i went along as my missis wnated to see him and was taken in by what a complete showman he is.

he's arguably one of the biggest acts in the uk at the moment and on those 2 facts alone, totally deserves his spot.

bonkers will be, well, bonkers!!

having said that, i'll be elsewhere

...

I'm not a fan of his, but I saw a bit of his set last year, and he went down as well, if not better than most acts.. the crowd loved him...

so why shouldn't he be on the bill where he is....?

I just don't think he's done enough to deserve such a high slot at Glastonbury.

I know!! What the hell like? He so should be headlining!! Come on give a guy a chance Mr Evais!! U2 have had their day, (soooooooo 20 year ago!) let them play behind Dizze instead..........

*goes off to start a facebook group to get Dizze bumped to headline slot*

"Whos with me baby?"

Come on people show a little bit of respect. "Poor move Eavis"??

I am as bewildered as the next person by Dizzee's popularity but put aside the over-hype about the 40th and it's a perfectly reasonably slot for him to be in.

[Langdale Wolf]

Okay, there was no need to dis The Eavis, I'll take that back.

But they made the hype themselves, so it shouldn't have to be put aside, the line up should reflect the fact it's a 40 year anniversary.

[In transit]

Don't get me wrong, I was expecting something ultra-special for the 40th - I think even the cheerleaders, if they're honest with themselves were secretly hoping for a Led Zep reunion or the Stones.

As it is the really special bookings, U2 and Stevie, are not right up my street but I recognise their quality and I'm not going to complain just because they aren't to my taste.

Also thinking about it logically, they are always trying to create the best possible lineup they can, there's no reason why for the 40th they were suddenly going to be able to put together a lineup that would blow all previous ones out of the water.

[Desmond 48]

Yeah, it was out of order how they hyped up their own festival. They should have said "Look - I know it's the 40th anniversary but we don't think we can afford any REALLY big names. Sorry, but there's always V."

It's a farce.
