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?

    • TOP 10 acts (top 5 in bold😞   Blood Orange (ciutat)   Guitarricadelafuente   Oklou - Looks like I'm capable of enjoying music in the rain after all, just not the whole night.   Rilo Kiley   The Cure   Jade   Depresión Sonora   Gelli Haha (Parc del Forum) - Her music never really clicked with me. Until I saw her live.   MARINA   Six Sex (ciutat) - I was shocked how supersmall the venue was and that almost everyone (except for me) knew every word of every song (including the ones that were released this weekend!).   Honorable mention:   Ashnikko - missed the first 15 minutes (because of Gelli Haha) and I'm not really a fan of her music, but the show was an absolute blast.
    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.
