Makes the "Adele complained about paying taxes" complaint seem almost valid. Agree too. Some of the criticism on here was ridiculous.

Felt better for that. I hope you put the puppy in a wheelie bin afterwards , just for good measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hate to bring in a bit of a negative tone, but I've just spent some time catching up on rumours and the lineup etc I must admit, if Radiohead weren't headlining this year I'd probably be a bit disappointed with the lineup thusfar No doubt there's going to be an incredible list of DJs and acts playing the late night stages, but I must admit the Pyramid and Other etc seems very uninspired this year, I'm hoping that the actual lineup brings some more surprises Anyone else feel that this might not be a vintage year? I'm going to be working it again this year so it might be nice not to have as much of a pull to watch acts playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't please everyone and all that. With the rumours so far I'm relatively happy what I'm hearing. It's part of what makes Glastonbury so great, the whole diversity of it. I'm sure once the times are released you'll wanna be in 3 places at once, but at certain times you might be scraping the barrel a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 There wasn’t much flicking my switches until that glorious day last week when The Jacksons, Barry Gibb and Brian Wilson all seemed to pop up out of nowhere. We’re now down to just the former two, but they go a long way to making up for some pretty uninspiring names at the top of the table.

Bradders Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I think everything is too up in the air to judge, but if the rumours about the legends and West Holts come through it could be one of the best lineups yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it could totally backfire and the only reason we're not predicting the acts that eventually play is because we didn't think they'd stoop so low, but when does that ever happen? I bet there'll be some big surprises at the top end of the main stages this year for sure, and I'm hoping for another 2013 Portishead-like act in there that blows us all away (and then I miss 'cause I'm a tit).

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I wouldn't say no to having to rush around a bit less - 2015 and 2016 were both packed - which is maybe just as well as early indications are that it might be a bit leaner.

If Foo Fighters want to play for three hours for the same fee then you're not gonna tell them no, and other than there being one less act on that day I don't see any negative repercussions from it.

Hugh Jass Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 They were due to play a longer than usual headline set last time were they not? Three hours is a long time to wait for Everlong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to be 2.5hrs last time but 3 hours may even mean they'd have to give 1 band a shorter than normal set or even cut to 6. Either way it explains why FF needed to Saturday and not the Sunday. Even with that set length I'm kind of going with Gaga for Sunday as I don't see her starting as early as 6:45.

Matt42 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Considering they are the saturday night headliner I imagine they could get a 2:45 hour set, with the certainty it will run over by 15 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
