Martin, you never cease to amaze me. How anyone could like Motorhead AND Deadmaus is beyond me. More power to you!

im another one that likes both. i hope to see both this year clashes permitting

I saw Deadmous in one ofvthe dance tents by accident some years ago. I love that big electro house stuff. I'd liked to have seen some classic US acts like Steely Dan and Santana on there but they probably come with a huge price tag. Still made up with The Moody Blues, Patti Smith and Azalea Banks.

[FuzzyDunlop]

not really into what Deadmau5 does now though tbh

[festhead]

really poor first announcement. glastonbury has the power to be a taste maker but i find year on year it panders ever more to the dull homogenised rubbish that the music execs and their pals over at radio 1 force feed the nation.

it looks like a v-festival lineup from about 5 years ago.

couldnt agree with you more.

my first thought was that it looked like a V Fest line up

[nychotels]

I'm over the moon with what's been announced so far. I can already tell there's gonna be some nightmare clashes!

Delighted about Caribou, SFA, Jon Hopkins, FKA Twigs, Goat, Hot Chip, Flying Lotus and there's so much more to come as well.

Really hoping Chemical Brothers are on the Saturday though!

[mufcok]

Be interested to see what days people are on, I've not done too bad with the clashes over the years but Blur/Chemical Brothers will definitely be the hardest decision I've made at Glastonbury, horrible clash

I'd be surprised if they didn't show up at some point, can't see why they wouldn't do it. Saw them last week and they were fun but not sure I'd be desperate to see them again.

[Keithy]

Anyone else think last years first poster is a lot better?

The posters aren't as good as they used to be

Martin Ashford's musical taste makes everything seem worthwhile. Remember when we thought you couldn't possibly be real? We simply weren't ready.

But Prince/Chemical Brothers will be a no brainer so you'll be alright

[Keithy]

Behave. Motorhead, The Fall, Patti Smith, The Mothership Returns, Belle & Sebastian, Spiritualized, Jamie XX, etc.

Yeah. That's V in a nutshell.

With Motorhead playing? You on crack

Edit: plus Deadmau5 is infinitely better than David Guetta

They'll turn up on the full poster, don't worry

[hurdy]

They'll turn up on the full poster, don't worry

Info?

[Winslow Leach]

Also, just occurred to me: a lot more women than those Reading & Leeds and Coachella lineups. Huzzah.

[phil the shrew]

They'll turn up on the full poster, don't worry

Thanks will sleep more soundly tonight!

[TheWineguy]

Looks like a lot of people got their wish - gone pretty heavy on the female acts there and some good ones at that.

[When Jokers Attack]

Was working tonight so what a nice surprise on my break tonight.

So much good stuff but just worried about the clashes now. All the acts I expected got announced apart from Ride. Very happy with the announcement.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Info?

Oh, no, sorry, just logic and good faith I would put money on it, though.

[Bisque]

Huzzah.

Has anyone ever said this before in the last decade?
