Do the 2nd release of bands ever involve so called bigger names ? Or bands that many of us may not have heard of. 

We need to have a Thingy for when this question is asked

There's a poster kicking around somewhere with this info on, I'm sure someone will post it soon!

Tame Impala were a big 'un, but the top of the lineup is looking pretty full as it is this year, so I'd say it's unlikely

One good thing about this thread is you can see how varied everyone's tastes are.  You have to love and respect everyone liking different stuff, even tho some of you like some right shit.

Turns out most people like "some right shit" !!!!!

Bah Humbug ! Where are the KLF ?

Hoping for Sasha and Digweed to be Saturday night glade headliner. I'll be all over that

Foo's probably the only main stage band I am bothered about seeing so would be a bitch for me

[mjsell]

Anyone tracked the general reaction to the driop on social media?

 

Wouldn't mind a ticket for this...

I know it's sooooo much more than the line up....for me this isn't the best. Saying that some of my best Glasto moments have been turning up at the sets I never anticipated going to. I've also been living under a rock when it comes to current music so time to get on Spotify and maybe this will turn into one of my favourite line ups! Glad for the people who are stoked and yes 2014 was one of the best years!!

One of the best parts of the build up is listening to some of the bands you may have not heard of or may not have realised did some great songs. You can then factor trying to see them. Enjoy this part because the stage/day splits is where it gets messy.

I have to be productive at work now  

Unless!... I spend the day working out who will be playing where and listening to artists from the line up

Ok lets agree on Sunday then lol See you there.

[sheffieldlady]

There's lots I want to see which will create clash central. But overall, I am very happy!

I am being lazy - overall, are we all happy with the line-up?

Does that mean there is no chance of Bonobo and A Tribe Called Quest playing  

Bonobo is playing, self confirmed back in Nov/Dec.  I expect him to headline somewhere too, very surprised he didn't make the initial poster, he did back in 2014.

[justperfect]

I'm definitely in the happy camp. 

[Wilfko]

Me and my group of 6 are all very happy with the poster. Better than 2015 when we last went IMO.

How relevant is Barry Gibb?

more relevant than prodigy in the age of new disco, worse than the old disco.

[OneLittleFish]

It's a real grower of a line up. Really liking it.

Just been looking as another form or procrastination but the reaction definitely seems better than last year's and I've looked back at the first poster from last year 2015 and I think it's better this year (for me anyway).

My only criticism is there weren't many curveball/exclusives as I hoped for, but with Orbital and Aphex Twin at Bluedot and Field Day respectively I wasn't overly confident of them appearing.

Still - Phoenix and Little Dragon are amongst my top 5 bands, The XX I've been dying to see for years, Chic gave me my favourite ever festival moment at Bestival so I will be seeing them again and Sasha & John Digweed will be unreal! 

Also really into Wild Beasts, Glass Animals, Badbadnotgood so overall I'm happy!

Childish Gambino just came on Radio 6, that would've been unreal, along with Chance The Rapper and Kendrick, I would've gone apeshit!

Mate, would you count the prodigy completely out of the question now ? Thanks

Exactly how I'd describe it.

[Krisesk]

The National is the big surprise for me. Excellent

I saw one guy say it was shit and he'd only go see the Courteeners.

I need more people like this man to not pay off their balances. Firstly so I can take his ticket, and secondly so he's not there.
