Headliners?

[strummer77]

Jay-Z might well turn with Bouncy.

Linkin Park are at Download. And at an outside shot TITP. They wont play Glastonbury.

As great as her belting that song out is, it is a truely awful song.

Edit - hope she just sings the cover.

Reading a lot of the comments on here I think the reason people make such an issue of who's headlining is because we all love the festival so much - I look forward to it all year and get annoyed with anything that might take the edge of my enjoyment of it - e.g. weather or lineup not including the bands I want to see.

So sorry to all those involved in booking the bands and organising for any moaning... understand it's just the passion talking!

I bet her management went total ape shit in the background when she did that.

Don't know if its been posted in any other thread or not.

Yes stage managmenet didn't know and it wasn't planned

It is an awful song, like most of her songs she repeats the same 3 words over and over again, in the clip its like 1 minute 30 seconds of complete repetition.

Are you confusing Beyonce with Taio Cruz?

[Hermia]

I think people are slightly underestimating her just a 'little' bit.

Admit it or not, but this is an impressive, passionate and good performance (unlike Gorillaz last year )

I had a few sherberts last night but I am sure I remember reading somewhere on these boards that the headliners were going to be officially announced tomorrow. I wonder what odds you can get for it not to be U2, Coldplay and Bouncy?

Yeah Neil mentioned it in a thread on Friday night.

[jimmy93]

He told me that he's not 100% sure, but there's a chance it will be confirmed tomorrow.

In answer to the comment that everyone sticking up for the booking is starting with "I'm not a fan of Beyonce but...."

I'm very excited about Beyonce. Someone I'd love to see but would never pay out £50+ for a ticket for individually. I don't like all of her music, only the odd tune, but I think she's an exceptional vocalist and can put on a great show, so I'm looking forward to getting the chance to see her. I like it when Glastonbury tries something different, as I think thats what keeps the festival fresh.

I will be there - unless she clashes with The Chemical Brothers or Pulp, then I will have to think about it, but even then, I have seen the other 2 many times before, and will no doubt get the chance to see The Chems again. They are both acts I would buy tickets to see individually. For me - I like Glastonbury to take me out of my comfort zone and ask me to give something else a go.

Polished, yes but take away the staging and the backing dancers and what's left? I suppose she'd do OK on X Factor.

[LondonTom]

same for U2 if you take away the guitars and drum set.

[dirty_dog]

So if you take away what they actually playing? You may have a point with there also some would call elaborate stages and lighting. What your suggesting is more akin to saying take away Beyonces vocals

[Guest musiclove123]

I found their slot very moving despite the many people who insist they are suicide inducing

Excellent piece in today's Observer by Barbara Ellen on the whole Beyonce thing.

They'll be plenty of earnest young white men playing guitars all over the site if that's your thing. They'll also be jazz, folk, hip-hop, country, pop, dubstep, reggae (although not enough, natch), soul, bluegrass, drum & bass, punk and just about every other genre going, if you look hard enough. I am ambivalent to Coldplay, really dislike U2 but I'm not complaining about them being on the line up. There's over 900 acres of music and experience to explore if you don't think Beyonce is worthy of your, or the festival's, time.
