Just had my 1st look at the T lineup for this year - Mumford and bums, Killers, Rihanna as headliners. I reckon we could see one of those. 2010, Glasto and T both had Muse, 2011 - they both had coldplay. Not a strong reasoning behind it but they do tend to share at least one headline act.

Mumford are definitely 100% playing, it just depends whether as sub to the Stones or as headliners.

Personally I think they are currently booked to sub the Stones but will end up headlining the Sunday.

I'm still placing all my faith in Prince headlining Sunday, Mumfords are not whats required ffs, their brit performance was terrible.

I dont get it people, lets stop trying to put a positive slant on them potentially closing the

festival, if they do it'll be sh1t - you all know it.

If not Prince then Justin Timberlake (things I never thought I 'd say). His performance the other night was great, full of life and genuinely entertaining :)

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Prince headline. Christ, I'd actually love to see JT play (not sure about headlining) I'm just saying that Mumfords are definitely playing.

Having said that, I don't get all the vitriolic hate for them. Every time they've played before they've gone down a storm, they're a British band that loves the festival and the festival loves

them. There's far worse being mentioned as potential headliner - that total knob end Kanye West for starters!!

I would possibly see Kanye as I really liked his first one and a half albums and my eighteen year old self would probably not forgive me if I didn't catch him. Having said that, I haven't enjoyed his musical output since then. I highly doubt I'd see Mumford but who knows? It's happened before that I have no intention of being somewhere and for some bizarre reason I end up in front of the very stage.

Either way, I'm indifferent to either of them getting the nod. Fair enough if they do.

    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me 
    • New Modest Mouse Album is out
