Line up thoughts?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Overall Im giving it more than respectable 8.5 out of 10.

More depth than most of the line ups. Such a great variety of acts that I want to see. Lacks a stellar act like the Stones or Stevie Wonder, but makes up for it with the rest of it.

Only slight gripe. The lack of quality on the Other stage. You could argue as the second stage it is pretty good in regards to the size of acts, but there is hardly anything for me to be slightly intetested in.

9/10

Deducted one cos of all the clashes especially on Saturday.

I am rather happy mind

[Untz]

-1/10

I'm still sulking over that Lionel/Future Islands almost clash.

(I kid, it's about a 4.5/10, but seeing as I only spend 45% of my time watching proper acts that's perfect really.)

This clash is upsetting me too.

Damnit I hadn't noticed that!

Lineup overall - 9/10

Clashes make it 7/10, but that's hardly glastonbury's fault!

[Homer]

Not great - though lack of clashes makes up for it for me. No big-hitters but good dance options in the headliners.

[Untz]

This clash is upsetting me too.

We should start a petition.

[Spindles]

8/10 for me. Not hitting the mark on either of the main stages, but the shear volume of cracking stuff throughout the weekend everywhere else more than makes up for it.

[Titters2]

9/10 for me -

Just missing a total jaw dropper (Rolling Stones / Pink Floyd / P*ahem*e).

The Other is a big mixed bag. There's some good stuff, but the running orders aren't great.

But the taking in Park, WH, The Glade and the rest - there's far more to see (& i would like to see) than I could squeeze in if I was there for a week.

[willutalk]

It really is again a teriffic show! I'm slightly overwhelmed at the amount of acts that I want to see and also about the number of acts I think that I'll have to miss! I think in a bit I'll make a new thread about day plans just to share my full weekend plan and also get a gauge of what others are up to!

agree about the other. Maccabees probably the only act I'll try and see. The park is ace though, will be spending most of Friday and Saturday there

[thewayiam]

I'm going to go for 8.5/10. If the extra's which I thought might be added were added then more clashes were likely and I'd just be more angry. I guess this could be combated by more what I'd liked being added in place of what I'm not bothered with but you can't have everything. Sometimes there can be too much of a good thing, and it also gives you less time to explore aimlessly. Thursday night is looking like a superb start, hopefully the weather is decent and Baggy Mondays can be rounded off with a can or two watching the sunset.

For me personally, it's probably not even a 5 but that's what's so great that you can have a totally different lineup to it.

You must really like Courtney Barnett!

[frostypaw]

8/10 - it's clearly an absolutely spanking line up, but after a stupidly clash heavy friday it calms down a lot yet there's a huge number of things I want to see and do

Bewildering. Looks like it'll be awesome

[GlastoSimon]

My own rating is about a 7ish. Good mix of acts from different genres but not so many that I'll spend no time away from the main stages. Few clashes prevent a higher score.

What does amaze me, is how the Facebook comments are a million miles away from the comments on here.

'Worst Pyramid stage line up ever I reckon. Other Stage looks good however' - a Pyramid with Patti Smith, Burt Bacharach, Motorhead + many others, whilst the Other looks turd this year.

'Did you not go last year? Arcade Fire, Metallica, Black Keys, Robert Plant. So poor last year. Yes Kasabian but they've played the Pyramid before.'

+ many more comments of a similar ilk. We're so out of the loop here on eFests

I'm disappointed she's only playing twice tbh.

[waynewdk]

Just listening to Enter Shikari for the first time, just listened to tracks The Appeal & Mindsweep Part 1 and The One True Colour, I'm liking it to be fair, just from these two tracks they remind me of The Streets, Linkin Park and Korn all rolled into one

I like describing them as essentially a punk-ish youth band but stuck on shop demonstration mode Edited June 2, 2015 by frostypaw

7 out of 10. Very strong undercard throughout the weekend and the smaller stages have stronger line-ups than they normally do. IMO there are quite a few weak headliners though

5 out of 10

Just nobody really standout for me - although plenty I want to see on the mid/smaller stages.

It's just in previous years with the likes of Leonard Cohen, Radiohead, Neil Young, BB King, Paul Simon, Pulp, War On Drugs, The National, Nick Cave Arcade Fire there were real must sees - some of my favourites of all time.

This year its a bunch of newish (by Glasto standards) acts - Caribou, Future Islands, Sharon van Etten, Young Fathers that I'm excited about. But all the legends, from Lionel to Burt to Motorhead, are of little interest. Only really big name I like is Chems, but even then it won't touch the 2011 Other Stage gig on the Saturday night.

[Mardy]

Tell you what though, it could be a fuck of a lot worse. look at this stoned hippie dirge. Appalling, not sure I'd even pay 8 quid to see that these days.

New order must have been like seeing a band from another planet in the middle of all that

[Spindles]

I've been saying for a while that 2015 is a good year for music. That the lineup is so full of current acts who are making good stuff rather than heritage can only be a good thing. Recent years it's been a bit too heavy on the memory lane acts imo.
