announcement

[mcbain55]

Well happy with the names on there. Worth the wait I'd say

[Leggins]

hmmm ... is this the line-up after all...?

It's a bloody close guess if it's just a guess.

Where did that one actually originate from?

[Matt42]

It's a bloody close guess if it's just a guess.

without shitting on a great lineup - I think this years was pretty predictable. I think most stage predictions had all the right bands, it was just more of a case of where and when.

[Perks]

Motörhead & Death Cab as shocks for me...had it in me head they weren't playing, so proper bonus. Jamie T and Patti Smith nice to see them confirmed. Ace (of spades)

sorry!!!

[Inconspicuous]

Can anyone recall a solo act special guest? Would be interesting to see whether they were labelled as guest or guests on the poster. The only two I can think of are Metallica and NERD.

[home to you]

Literally just left the office so I've only had 1 look but I'm very happy so far! I'm going to spend the evening trying to make sense of it all

priceless as ever Matt

[scrippit]

Yup, although it could easily be Park

that would be sublime warm afternoon!

[STEatT]

Neil were you completely unaware of the announcement then or did come out of no where?

[Nutella Versace]

Prince for Sunday is my prediction.

[Alan_C]

Doesn't have SFA listed on there does it?

[sime]

What is Mothership

This is Mothership!

[pentura]

Prince and his band now favs with the bookies for the Sunday headliner

Which bookie?

[eFestivals]

Neil were you completely unaware of the announcement then or did come out of no where?

we got notice of it about 20 seconds before it went up on Glasto's website.

[Icewulf]

Fucking hell. I get the tube for an hour with no signal and all hell breaks loose!! Fucking typical!!!

Amazing lineup though! My favourite so far of the ones I've been too. Can't wait!!!

[thewayiam]

priceless as ever Matt

And I get compared to him lmao. I thought it was bad when he posted a pointless post about about his mate said such as such was not the top two each day and he knows it's bullshit so he's just letting us know that so he's not suggesting otherwise then this lol.

[fightoffyour]

In conclusion, the lineup comes out on 14th April every year, except those years that it doesn't.

[dingbat2]

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.

But isn't that because you have been to loads of festivals over the past few years? Not too sure what you were expecting, there's not a lot of new headline/sub acts around at the moment so of course you will get loads of stuff you've seen before. I think your reaction is partly based on you have been to loads of festivals and seen loads of these acts over the last few years, so there aren't many acts who who'd excite you at the moment (like a Portishead from 2013 were!) most festival punters wouldn't have seen many of the acts. I think it's a good initial line-up, very mainstream pop friendly but then that was always going to be the case with such a small main-stage/other stage initial announcement

... And how can you not be excited by Motorhesd, FF featuring Sparks and The Moody Blues?!

[A Guy Called Matt]

Anyone good at writing books?

We could get one made up of Matt42's most famous sayings and predictions.

[theouterlimits]

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

Yes, but not all of it.

[A Guy Called Matt]

69 acts announced and people moaning!!!!!!!

I think there are plenty more to come.

[eFestivals]

Yes, but not all of it.

yep, I can now confirm that theouterlimits has provided info that's been 100% accurate so far with what's verifiable so far.

[Nutella Versace]

I'll be packing my hat to see Mothership. Possibly my nappy too!!

[andyhh]

Just saw that Van Morrison has been moved on the rumors page to Sunday on the Acoustic tent....seems a bit low down for him surely?

[gooner1990]

Just praying I get a ticket in the resale now.
