Underwhelmed with a lot of it (not that I am complaining, I am every year for a couple of days) but I am intrigued at who might be the Saturday night headliner, hope they go for a real left field choice. Still though we have AF, Blondie, Pixies, Jack White, Plant, Manics, Dolly and I am sure there will be more!

the more i look at the lineup the more i'm loving it :D i've got butterflies in my stomach i'm so excited. festival can't come soon enough

i was very on the verge of possibly not going due to not having anybody concrete to go with, but now, fuck it, i'm going regardless

Just realised The Horrors aren't on there (I don't think). Listening to the new album for the first time on the train at the moment, and loving it so far. Hopefully they're added at some point; they're TBC on here so I guess they will be (have they self-confirmed?).

Anyway, loving the lineup on the whole. Jack White's the one person in the world I've been desperate to see since I started going to gigs but haven't yet managed to see. Arcade Fire, Metallica (or maybe Pixies) and Massive Attack will be a bloody lovely set of headliners for me. Hope to god I get tickets now!

i'm not sure anyone over 30 / or who has been to glastonbury before will be genuinely ecstatic about that lineup...any serious music fan would surely have seen 90-95% of those acts?

the lineup was crying out for a fleetwood mac, kanye, madonna, something...instead we get kasabian? a very good band, but haven't written a good tune in several years, im sure they will put on a good show right enough...but headlining glastonbury?, there time went for that years ago.

as for metallica as the rumoured headliner....personally i love metallica, i first saw them at donnington in '95, seen tham 3 times since( newcastle, barrowlands, secc) fnastic albums (well the early ones were) and they put on a terrific show / incredible live band (although not as good as when newsted was with them (imho)...but not for glastonbury..if going for rock /metal band...glatonbury shouldve went for ac/dc...much more general appeal than metallcia who will undoubtedly be too 'heavy' for a lot of people.

but then again they have booked skrillex...perhaps thw worst 'act' / dj in living memory.

good to see richie hawtin playing though...perhaps he can do his new plastikman show as well

Cracking.

My main wish now is that somehow Arcade Fire and Jurassic 5 don't clash, as I'm dying to see both again.

I've seen all 3 pyramid headliners before, but all 3 are excellent live, and there's tonnes on the undercard I've not seen but want too :)

...glatonbury shouldve went for ac/dc...

funnily enough, I believe that they did but got a no, so they moved on to Metallica.

(that might not be true, for some parts I only have snippets to go on... but that appears to be what happened from things that have come my way).

    • Given the assumptions and little bits around Madonna, that BST and Paris post is probably right (few weeks later than the original post).   Just adds to the speculation that - they thought they had Madonna, and now they don't.   I can see what's gonna happen here - they end up booking Oasis and Fontaines for 2028. I don't get a ticket, and have to get out of the country + delete all socials.   That would end me if it happened and I wasn't there.
    • Looking at other Superstruct festivals this year, The Prodigy haven’t played Tramlines yet, and it’s been a while since Two Door Cinema Club have.   Those two seem likely headliners on how they tend to rotate bands.   Fontaines DC would be incredible but possibly a little too big now, Geese are having a good rise, would be great as a newer band to headline
    • Automated sessions and BOTs dont sleep. 
    • I’ve secured tickets once since 2007. I’ve done 11 festivals in that time.  Thankfully I have friends with better luck!
