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?

    • I think most people prefer RiP if they’ve done both sites. I think RaR is just more iconic and recognisable. Saying that I’ve only done RiP and I loved it! 
    • Is that a thing? First I've heard of it, I must admit!
    • Shuttle bus, tram, walk, bike, stay near Fòrum... Many hotels in el Poblenou and walking distance 
    • https://thesoulofaclown.com/2026/06/07/bearded-theory-26-30-may-2026-catton-park-derbyshire/ thought you might like to see my review of the festival.  would be great if people could do me a favour and follow the site.
