Line-up praise

[Kowalski]

What a cracking line-up this year.

The Orb, LCD Soundsystem, Faithless, MGMT, Orbital, Delphic, Groove Armada, Hot Chip, The Flaming Lips, Alabama 3, Levellers, Snoop Dogg, Ray Davies etc...

I can't wait, but there's going to be so many clashes.

I must admit to being sick of the negative comments on the line up on here. I think it's fantastic, but then I would only go to the big stages for a "must see" and much prefer smaller stages. I think this line up looks like the year of the hidden gem and I'm sure there will be loads of anniversary surprises tucked away too. I can't believe I have to to wait another 2 months it's not fair!

I was never in any doubt I'd be happy with the line up and when it was announced It didn't dissapoint.

[ampersand]

think if it was announced in a oner, i'd be creaming my pants. the fact that the best stuff was known weeks and months ago, it kind of took the shine of the official announcement.

all i know is that i'm going to try my best to have the best one yet, and whoevers playing will probably play a small part in that. except for stevie

Im not being funny - its great you like the line up and im happy for you - its just i dont like how some people get treated for saying they are disappointed by the line up its like you cannot say you dont like something because its glastonbury etc.

I don't think or pretend Glastonbury is above criticism where it's due. Nothing is. It just seems that there are a lot of people who are going this year who wanted nothing but back to back mainstream chart or indie acts/legendary acts on the main stages and that isn't what Glastonbury does or is about.

Glastonbury promotes varied entertainment of all forms - not just music - and avoids corporate sponsorship to retain independence and do it's own thing. If you want to stand in the eBay/Nike/Pepsi arena all day, eat crap fast food and drink overpriced Fosters because it's the only thing on offer and watch back to back mainstream overpriced drivel then there are places for that. If you want to experience some freedom, try new things, meet new people, see new acts of every genre and type (i.e not just music) and see random, jaw dropping things round every corner, go to Glastonbury.

If I'm honest, I would go to Glastonbury if there wasn't a single act I knew or liked on any stage, pay the £185 gladly and be as excited as a puppy screwing a soft toy about it. It's a festival, not a concert.

I guess it's about outlook and expectation and we clearly see it differently. Since the line up announcement, I've been investigating the acts I don't know in the hope I'll discover a new act I'd like to see live in a place I love. I'm guessing you haven't been doing this.
