Dizzee Rascal Second Headliner...

[Langdale Wolf]

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

[Zacko]

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

Yes the Pyramid Headliners are strong, but the rest of the line up is very mediocre.

[Digi]

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!

[sinhala]

Let's face it - if they had kept the complete line-up under wraps and announced U2, Muse, Stevie Wonder, Faithless, Orbital and George Clinton all in one go we would all be going .... WOW !

[Desmond 48]

I think Trading Standards would be interested in this. After all, you bought a ticket on the promise of an amazing, awe inspiring line up.

Give Watchdog a ring. I just tried the Samaritans, but they're engaged.

Art is subjective

Taste is subjective

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the line up, cant wait to see some old faves and try some new ... who cares what time anybody's on...

one persons shit is anothers shinola!

or to put it in Glastonbury terms

one persons headliner is anothers support act...

in short... who cares... enjoy!

[In transit]

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,

[Desmond 48]

maybe you could consider that you're in the minority in thinking he shouldn't be where he is the line-up...

it does. The line-up is immense. Possibly the best lineup of any festival since the great festivals of the late 60's/early 70's

[staggerlee]

I don't like him personally. A lot of people seem to though and he was quite popular last year so I don't really see any problem with it. I'll be dancing to Alabama 3 in the acoustic tent while Dizzee grimes out the Pyramid anyway so not concerned.

[Langdale Wolf]

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

What the hell is angelofharlem writing about? They have been writing a reply to this thread for the last 20 mins or more!

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.

[glasgowpete]

Clearly not possible to have an actual discussion is it

[MEGABOWL]

"This is new information!!!"

Seriously, great thread. Would read again.

[Sabcully]

Maybe when Mr Eavis said that big acts would be playing below their normal slot to fit them all

in, he meant this the other way around.

[vespa]

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

[The Nal]

BRING BACK ROD STEWART!!

[Felna]

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.
