the thing is, at the moment, I go to a festival because I want to have lots of bands to see, not for the 'experience' that glasto provides

have you been to glasto? I'm not saying you should aim not to watch a band, hell even on a weak saturday this year I only have 4 though now 5 and maybe 6 with Fatboy Slim and the Arcadia headliner.

no and I've just said why I wouldn't want to, I don't think the lineups music-wise are any better than other fests

My last glasto I saw 5 bands all weekend and none on the main stages, was up there with my faves fests of all time.

Pure perfection, was walking with a great smile all weekend and im a grumpy old bugger.

every glasto can be the best to yet fest you've ever done. so much to do, see and take part in it's so unique.

Saying that I can understand it being all about the bands for newbies and also not everyone wants the sub culture side of things.

The amount of stages make the lineup massively better.

If you say cut it down to the amount of stages that V have and then put the acts which Glasto has over the stages, well it would be better. And anyway I think it's the variety that makes it.

I also saw you and a few others discussing who should win the voice.......... I'm not suprised u prefer V

Since when has quantity been the same as quality?

Yeah I watch the Voice I don't see what that has to do with anything? and I'm not going to V, I'm going to R&L, I don't prefer V by a long shot, based on this year, I'd rather go Glasto than V, but I'd rather go R&L than both of those.. hence why I am

Errmm because it appeals to so many different people. Certain people go to V, certain to reading, etc.. Glasto appeals to pretty much every festival goer. IMO of course.

Fair enough didnt realise u were Reading and Not V. All about opinions of course. And I actually love Biffy over every band at Glasto, but wouldn't trade Glasto for any other

Yeah it appeals to many different people, but this year it doesn't appeal to me more than R&L, I'd love to see Nick Cave, Arctics, Vampire Weekend, Public Enemy and a few others but Biffy, NIN and SOAD really do it for me, and the lineup as a whole has a lot more bands I want to see

Fair enough. Enjoy it, I'm sure you will. I can't wait for Thursday to come round (can't go weds as I have a meeting I can't get out of)

Weather is meant to be good too!!

Ive been at my grans abit tonight so havent been able to see all the comments, so I will address things now

Yeah glasto only sells out because of the name and the hype. If glasto put tickets on sale, sold out then announced V's Line up on the main stages then it would still have sold out even with a 'bad' line up. Hence its all to do with what people expect from the festival and nothing at all down to the line up

I dont think we discussed who should win The Voice but it was mentioned, and I personally dont watch it but I heard about the winner and apparently someone else wasnt that good but shes in the charts now. I couldnt identify which person went with which name, guessing i would have a 50% chance of getting the names right as (just guessing here) there are two guys two girls.

Glasto does have loads of acts, and its been built up over many many years, and the size of the festival doesnt necessarily mean its better. If you go there and dont go see the acts, then you might as well just go to a fun fair or carnival instead, it would be alot cheaper. The idea of a music festival is to listen, thats why Glasto isnt just a music fest now, its all the contemporary arts which shows their main focus isnt just on the music. Glasto is worldly known to be the best festival in the world, but its reputation has taken away from the line up and people wouldnt care who was on, they would go anyway

You should of stayed at your grans!! Literally no clue

[sisco]

To be honest by Thursday we will camp where we fit!! Guessing up by Pylon.

U?

[sisco]

Going to be gutted when my festie mates go to glasto on wednesday...

You not going this year? Gutted.

Got to say this year is looking fantastic. Weather seems to be onside and whether u like them or not, The Stones will be something special.

To the glasto lot I cant recommend pennards hill to camp enough, special special place.

Love Hurts, Love Chase and Status but I can't turn down my one chance to see The Stones, especially at Glasto.

For me, The Stones, Vaccines, TDCC, Editors, Jake Bugg are must sees. Add into that 1975, Vanpire Weekend, The View, god I could go on.

Plus then late night Friday down to Shangri La for Rudimental and some other Radio 1 stuff, And Saturday to Arcadia to watch Fatboy Slim and the special guests. Honestly can't wait

[Com Truise]

Can you imagine the people watching Nick Cave who are waiting for Mumford though, they'll play Red Right Hand and they'll all go mental like "EMREHGHHARD THEY'RE COVERING AN ARCTICS SONG"
