They were fantastic in 2005 so really looking forward to seeing them again. Hopefully they play redemption song this time

I'm pretty sure that the set they're playing this summer are the tracks from 'Legend'. I can't rem,ember if Redemption Song is on that, but I guess it is.

If they play it, it'll be the very last song.

Saw them a few months back at the Indigo2 in Greenwich playing Legends. They were first class and if you haven;t I would recommend. Said to my son that night it would be great to see them in the sunshine at Glastonbury. I am hoping that they do not clash with Dolly. The legend's slot at the pyramid is somewhat of a tradition for our camp to all be together and this clash will split us firmly down the middle.

For me it has to be the Wailers.

One Love.

Reggae booker was asleep at the wheel this year.

I know there's The Blues and The Gully line ups still to come, but it looks like there's a lack of any Golden Era performers.

Horace Andy (with Dub Asante, who are superb!), The Wailers and ... erm ... Maxi Priest?

It's better than many years as it happens.

Hah - I did see Maxi Priest lingering down in the deeper recesses of the line-up. I'm sure he's got decent reggae roots, but I only really know him for Close To You and covering Cat Stevens.

they were absolutely massive songs in their day (didn't all the girls think he was drop-dead gorgeous?), even if a bit cod.

(And, btw, he was probably covering Jimmy Cliff as it was Jimmy that made Wild World famous in the UK and not Cat. :P).

I only recently discovered that he fronted Black Uhuru for a while, too.

I've never seen him, so i'll be interested to check him out. Unfortunately it'll mean a trip to the horrible Silver Hayes.

A run-through of Legend at Glasto will be a legendary event in itself - soooo many good songs, I can think of very few other performers I'd miss that for.

See you blissing out there! Could be a high spot of the festival.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
