Rolf Harris, Tinchy Stryder and Yeovil Town Band announced as Pyramid openers

[fatyeti24]

Does anyone think Tinchy Stryder shouldn't be allowed to play?

[Serj Trouserdale]

Totally shite post.

Totally brilliant username.

Well, what a load of bollocks that is eh.

"Yes, we can finally reveal the line-up for Glastonbury Festival 2010. "This is it!" says Michael Eavis. "The most staggering line up to match the 40-year reputation of the Festival."

"... Most staggering line up" Is also bollocks. Last years was better in my opinion. If they'd have really tried, really went all out, I think they could've secured some special performances, the festival has got a lot of admirers and a lot of old friends. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they spoke to every big act under the sun about playing lower down the bill, but whatever.

Rolf Harris, whatever way you look at it, is a novelty act. He's a tit with a wobbly board ruining Led Zeppelin classics, shame really. To whoever said he was the "best performance of last years festival", I wish I could go back in time and suggest you see some better acts mate.

[Serj Trouserdale]

on what basis? he's certainly one of the biggest selling UK acts of the last year. number 1 album and single. and i read somewhere this week that 'pop' is ouselling 'rock' for the first time in years.

he's zeitgeist, and the fact he isn't to my tastes is quite reassuring now im well into my 30s.

Some may argue that he represents everything that is wrong with the world.

Are you sure it wasn't an awesome post?

You know what, you're absolutely right, I've just checked on the Internet.

War in Iraq, Global economic meltdown and the world environmental catastrophe, it's all down to Tinchy

Curse you Stryder!!!!

*shakes fist*

Rolf - Great opener.

Tinchy - Utter shit.

Yeovil Town Band - No opinion either way.

I was hoping for Thom Yorke, Them Crooked Vultures and Rolf personally. Rolf will be great but I don't get the other two. It seems like this year has all the right acts but they're all in the wrong slots if that makes any sense?

I do wonder if they at least tried to book all the big acts on the basis of it being the 40th and simply got turned down. They seemingly tried for the Stones but I wonder if there was any real attempt to get Zeppelin (or even just Plant) or even acts like Coldplay/Radiohead.

I still love the lineup mind.

Tinchy for Primeminster.

[Serj Trouserdale]

What they argue that he represents rape, murder, paedophilia, famine, war, environmental disasters, consumer credit, far right politics, greed? People actually get that from his music?

[Bluearsedfly]

Nope. Everyone is allowed to play Glasto. Next question please.

[Mardy]

You are officially numpty of the day.

[elbongo]

This is getting boring! What you should have done is cancelled your tickets. You had the option to do so. I take it that you wont be back next year either?

Point really is that we've done this already! Its still boring...

[Serj Trouserdale]

nah, not while there's stuff like this around:

I doubt they meant he is a paedophilia or a rapist. I think they might have a point on some of the other issues you raised.

[Mardy]

I think they do have a point, most of the things you mention are driven by greed, and he most certainly does represent that. No offence to the guy. He is just a money making puppet. Personally I'd just put him out of the way with all the other of them sort of acts. Chipmunk, N-Dubs and the like. Peace.

[indieheart]

Yeovil Town Band will make an interesting house band for someone, no idea who, but they will.

[daley]

Im happy with Rolf but not to bothered about the other 2!

[Grimmy]

My big dilema is:

Rolf Harris, Mystery Jets, Magic Numbers

or

Magic Numbers, Florence and The Machine, Mumford and Sons

I'm thinking the latter, just

[tylerdurden]

ah, I'm forgetting about all those altruistic rock types, that aren't motivated by money. They play for the love of it. The Stones (cancelled UK dates to avoid paying the taxman), The Who (notoriously tight) , U2 (don't get me started), The Kinks ('The taxman's taken all my dough'... ah diddums) etc etc etc

all them sort of acts you mean?

I think you missed the point. They don't get dressed by a man in a suit for the purpose of making money.
