We've reached the point now where it could conceivably drop any time between now and June 24th. My anticipation for it has diminished somewhat now, I'm not going to be chasing it obsessively, I'll just wait for the nice surprise when it finally turns up.

How are we all this morning anyway?

[eFestivals]

A snide, condescending attitude has crept into this forum's discourse in recent months.

not least from you, matey - with your cynicism about many posts of mine.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I'm now just looking forward to the 2nd wave of Blissfields line up that's coming this afternoon

[Riggins]

Alvvays is good news at least

[eFestivals]

Alvvays at Joiners for Glasto warm up

EDIT: Thursday 25th

as I said, a small band.

[russycarps]

Or it's Prince...

I just cant see it. I think it will be a smaller act as kanye west and foo fighters are perceived as massive to most people.

florence and the machine makes perfect sense from every angle:

female? check

giving an up and coming band their shot at the bigtime? check

cheaper fee? check

perceived as "getting" glastonbury because she doesnt wear shoes? check

ex-public school? check

dreary shite that will appeal to cretins with appalling music taste? check

It's happening. We must accept it and look elsewhere for our headline pleasure.

My hopes are now pinned on iggy and SFA, given that bjork is a non-starter.

[Wellyboot]

the devastating florence and the machine announcement creeps ever closer.

Mike99 is truly the scum of the earth for getting my hopes up over stone roses. I will never ever forgive that low life.

It's not the despair, I can take the despair. It's the hope that destroys you.

edit gah got mike and matt mixed up!

Hahahah love this!

Mike99 must pay!

florence and the machine makes perfect sense from every angle:

apart from the angle where Emily has said she's not headlining.

[A Guy Called Matt]

but she might

[JoeyT]

To be fair to Russy an expect the worse and hope for the best mindset suits some.

I expect the purple one.

[the wonderwhy]

as I said, a small band.

Still a good one though

[neil999]

if it wasnt for the emily interview i think we would all be thinking it was flo, casual glastonbury go-ers im friends with think its flo

so we just have to hope emily wasnt lying(unlikely) or things havent changed(possible)

sigh..

Seen the Victorious lineup Russy? SFA and Flaming Lips (basically on the beach) for 50 quid. Cracking real ale & cider festival last time I went, too...

[Perks]

much as I don't agree with those spoilt brats who whine about it I don't agree with the opposite attitude either or being totally sychophantic to glasto and `p[retending` not to care about the lineup at all.....there is no reason now after ticket sales have ended to keep it from us, at least release something for people to start getting excited about. I think people have been extremely patient and that deserves some kind of reward....said it before doesnt even matter if the 3rd healiner is tba on the lineup poster for now......just give us something lol

The reward is you got a ticket and you're going to Glastonbury.. Thats why we all scramble for tickets in October, no-one cares about the line up then, yeah it might frustrate some people come March who wanna know, but that's not how Glastonbury works and we all know that when we buy a ticket.

Is it worth me reading through the 100 or so pages that I have missed the last few days? Anything new?

No

[stonedhenge]

no.

[kalifire]

Yes.

I mean no.

[pentura]

Russy thinks it definitely is Florence

Others still think Bowie / Prince

A couple of people complaining

And the rest of us are here for the fun

[JoeyT]

Absolutely. Somewhere in the last 100 pages the 3rd headliner has been mentioned... You've just got to find it.

Let us know your findings.

[Matt42]

Looking at the rumours page, seems we've now got quite a few of the big acts down.

What's exciting though is there are still so many names left!

Russy thought it was definitely The Stone Roses last year

Maybe it'll be The Stone Roses this year and Florence next year. I don't think I can make it next year, so I selfishly hope that's the year Flo and Sheeran make the step up. Add Coldplay to that and job's a good 'un
