It's because there's a lot of fear mongering and putting 2+2 together and coming up with 1745.

Arguably you have to be on a wave of popularity, with a big record coming out which will probably be your breakthrough, and coming off the back of big previous recent performances, something I don't think fits Dizzee at all. (Arguably all these fit the most recent acts to come through from big festivals; Kings Of Leon, Arcade Fire, Kasabian). He was arguably in a much stronger position to headline in 2010. I don't think he's fit to do it out of the blue.

In addition, we don't really know how tricky it has been in previous years to get headliners. It could be like this every year. We know there was a relatively similar position in 2010, and we know in 2011, they changed headliners in the same year as the festival.

I had a weird dream last night.

Yeah I dreamt about glastonbury (don't laugh) but it was of the first lineup announcement.

The first announcement was Lady gaga headlining the Sunday, along with other acts which days/stages were unconfirmed.

Smashing pumpkins, two door cinema club, Noel Gallagher and Bombay bicycle club. It got all my excited when I realised it was a dream :(

Don't know what this does for Kanye's chances of headlining, with or without Jay Z, but he's headlining a festival in New York the weekend after Glastonbury http://prettymuchamazing.com/news/guns-n-roses-is-governors-ball-2013s-secret-headliner (that is the weekend after Glastonbury isn't it?).

Nas, Grizzly Bear, Kendrick Lamar, Edward Sharpe &TMZ, Bloc Party, Of Monsters and Men, DFA 1979, Crystal Castles, Azealia Banks, Best Coast, Dinosaur Jr., Fucked Up, and Haim all appear on the bill too, apart from the fact that KoL and GnR are two of the headliners, I'd say that's a pretty sweet line-up, I'd love to see a lot of these acts at Worthy Farm.

Aha, that says June and not July, I can't be bothered to read whole words on Sundays, I read the first two letters and assume the rest of it. Didn't we establish that his kid is actually due quite some time after Glastonbury? And, let's be honest, is anything birthed by Kim Kardashian really worth missing... well, anything over?

    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
    • No complaints about the sound. We were like 2nd set of steps facing stage right in like the middle row.
    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
