announcement

Never heard Spiritualised before. They're on the growing list!

A really beautiful band.

[detroutspinners]

implying?

Well it's the only Waterboys song I know - seeing as they were also on the line up!

Just thought it might have been a cheeky little nod to them.

[SloopJohnB]

I literally could not be more happy right now. My info was correct and it's a fucking great lineup

Yep.....fair play mate

[paulmuchmore]

Alt-J subbing is my big disappointment - find them pretty boring. Too high on the bill. At least something else will be on!

My first Glastonbury and the line up is looking great! A nice diverse selection of acts

Now to cross fingers for a good Sunday headliner and minimal clashes!

[swede]

Swede wow! Yes!

What ?

[Mardy]

hmmmm

s'alright. I'm not that impressed really. Dunno. Nothing at first glance where I'm like 'Fuuuuuuuck, I never thought I'd see THEM!'

Pretty sure it's just there to contrast the silhouette of the tor.

Revel in all their glory.

I love anything of a Spacemen 3 / Spiritualized / Sonic Boom / Spectrum ilk so that'll do nicely

Now that I think about it, that song's called Whole of the moon.

Well I couldn't have screwed up my first post on here anymore D'oh!

[Space Shanty]

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space is one of my top 5 or 10 all time albums.

Masterpiece

[Keithy]

Gutted about Beck mind.

Only the first line-up, not the full line-up. Still time.

[dentalplan]

Alt-J subbing though!?!? Jake Bugg of 2015

You follow enough festivals and tour news to know that's not true. They're definitely a fair sub.

[tjfish]

No Noel..... Oasis as third?

Was the other info you'd given to Neil, previously unverified, included in this announcement?

[jimmyt]

They really don't work in bigger venues, though. Alexandra Palace was incredibly lacklustre.

[Big Vern]

implying?

The Water Boys

[Badlands]

9 must sees for me. That's already an improvement on each year since 2011.

Bit thin on hip-hop maybe? Nobody jumps out.

[Winslow Leach]

hmmmm

s'alright. I'm not that impressed really. Dunno. Nothing at first glance where I'm like 'Fuuuuuuuck, I never thought I'd see THEM!'

Flying Lotus was supposed to be a Bestival exclusive, so I was surprised at that. Ecstatic too!

Love that. Kanye's headlining and the line-up is thin on hip-hop with no-one standing out! I completely agree, by the way, it is thin.

[Conor1458]

The top of the line up poster looks like a hint at pink floyd...

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Wilko??

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

Is there some sort of stage split in that poster? Middle column pyramid, left column other?

[thewayiam]

Still loads to come, but if Alt-J is indeed subbing then shocking!

[Guest]

Ok, round up of my must sees; Sharon Van Etten, Patti Smith, FKA Twigs, Todd Terje (I shall pester him online to see if it's going to be Todd Terje & The Olsens live or a DJ set), Hot Chip, Kanye West and Charli XCX.

[Mardy]

Sorry, don't want to piss on anyone's bonfire there, but I'm pretty underwhelmed by that. Not a single must-see on there for me. Some good bands but I've seen them at festivals in the last few years. Nobody there I'm really buzzing to see, nobody that I thought I'd never get the chance to see, would never have considered before, Mavis Staples aside.
