Pulp got the biggest crowd of the festival last year so Blur would get a huge crowd.

Radiohead was a number of factors

1) Different type of band to Blur in that they don't have big hits that everyone knows

2) It was a very lad rock weekend- Arctics and KoL being the other headliners. Radiohead aren't lad rock

3) The headliners on other stages were really strong. I left halfway through Radiohead to see Deadmau5, and La Roux was in the FR tent at the peak of her popularity whilst the rockers had Lostprophets in the NME tent

i want to know who these people are that have so much time on their hands that they would go to the effort of making such a well put together fake line up with all the correct logos etc and then print them off on glossy paper and upload them to the internet?

sort it out

No...

"Spread out the cost of your ticket

See Tickets, Ticketmaster and Ticketline will be running a payment plan for customers who wish to split the full cost of buying their tickets into 2 or 4 monthly instalments."

haven't you heard about over 20% youth unemployment? ;)

At least they're brushing up on their computer skills. :lol:

Are people really that bothered about knowing the headliners before the announcement? It really doesn't make a difference to me as I'm normally more interested in the undercard. But when tickets come out its just a simple 2 tab job, one for seetickets, one for the line-up.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
