Dizzee Rascal Second Headliner...

I don't have a problem with them hyping their own festival, obviously. The problem I have is them making a big deal over it then delivering a very average line up

I think they probably tried for the huge names but they couldn't afford them (like The Rolling Stones) or were told no (Zeppelin anyone?) Same with the acts under them.

I'll be at Hot Chip either way....although I wouldn't mind seeing Dizzee again now he's got a band with him

Can I just ask, and I don't mean to come across as a smart arse but... urm... are you actually going to Glasto? I just don't see it in your signature... and if you're not, then I can't understand why you'd be arsed really!

Art is subjective

Taste is subjective

or to put it in Glastonbury terms

There is a discussion to be had and it's true some people will jump down the throat of anyone who criticizes anything in a slightly odd way but if you want to debate the lineup seriously then you can't frame the debate as: "What the f**k Eavises? This lineup is turd on a stick and X, Y and Z playing in their positions is a CRIME AGAINST MUSIC. EAVIS SORT IT OUT"

The truth is somewhere in the middle. There is no one for who the lineup couldn't be improved by one or two personal-favourite additions but equally you have to question the breadth and taste of someone who cannot find anything they like it in,

I totally accept that but some people are making it impossible to even discuss it

I'll admit I was a bit rash with some of the stuff I came out with. And there is stuff I like, there's stuff I love. If it wasn't the 40th anniversary i think it would be a decent line up, but you can't get away from the fact that this year was supposed to be a major celebration in terms of it being 40. And obviously, they weren't gonna pull out the likes of Led Zep, Pink Floyd or The Rolling Stones, but I still think it doesn't reflect the anniversary as well as it could.

If your seriously not happy with the lineup cancel your ticket there are 1000's of people who would love to have your ticket...

Easy solution plus you won't bore us with your meaningless dribble

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.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
