Tdiz Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Agreed great line up and all of the rest of my group seem to be in agreement something for everyone on there. Still missing a few names I would have liked on there. will just have to wait for the stage splits now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Amazing_Oblong Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Really strong for me. At first glance I counted 20 things I'd be happy to go see. That is without digging further than the surface. Although I've seen quite a few before, some at past Glasto's, there has been an appropriate length of time for them to seem fresh. Some I've seen recently but happy to see again and some I wasn't expecting that were a real pleasant suprise. All in all I'd give it a 9/10 for the first lineup poster.

FuzzyDunlop Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Never from the initial poster have I had such a variety I want to see. Already a lot I'd happily see. Very chuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40 Days Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 1 hour ago, shuttlep said: or does anyone else think, "this is the best line up I have seen for many a year" I mean take the headliners out who I don't care for, but everyone else on the list I want to see. it's not been like that for a while This is my first Glastonbury and will also be my first major (three days plus) festival for the best part of six/seven years, so as you can imagine for the last few months I've been pretty excited. Have to admit, running through that line-up from top to bottom this morning I was pretty disappointed - not entirely sure what I was expecting but this isn't really it. Top end of the bill - I get it, huge names, with massive fan bases and proven commercial success. But come on, acts like Stormzy and Lorde who have released two/three albums between them that high up a Glastonbury line-up... maybe I'm out of touch. Can pick out half a dozen other acts that I'd like to see but it just reads like a Radio 6 daytime playlist. Complete lack of imagination. Perhaps indicative of the state of the music industry as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selfishly, that's right up my street though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyhana22 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 The poster has not been of particular 'importance' to me (other than being a hugely exciting build-up moment each year) for my three Glastonburys, as I am always more interested in smaller bands and even more so the dance stuff in the area drops. That said, this is definitely the strongest poster of my three years and is a huge credit to the festival. Green Man aside, I have found this year's festival line-ups pretty bloody dreadful, and I am able to appreciate when they're good, even if it's not my kind of festival. This year, maybe as it's pre-fallow, maybe because that's just how it fell and the bookers have done well, this is very impressive. If they continue this model into the area drops, I might be on for my best ever festival! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denwyn Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Not a bad lineup, if I was going I would be fairly happy with it, but after last years mud bath I deceived never to bother again, been to a few to many in last few years. Hopefully they won't get much rain before or during, I'll miss the live music though, it's only reason I ever went,seen some really good stuff there..Nothing Like It.

TheSilence Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I am absolutely delighted with the lineup. Best since i've been going, even though i only started two festivals ago badbadnotgood, Thundercat, Anderson. Paak. Oosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think I counted about 10 on there I'd definitely see and 8-15 odd maybes. All in all been better, been worse initial posters for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty to see in the mid section with a largely awful top tier. Katy Perry aside, not much came out of left field.

Vanderlyle Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Think it looks great. Far better than I'd expected. I think this stage the last couple of years I had maybe one or two I was excited by, and another 5 or 6 I was looking forward to. This year those number are doubled. And with Radiohead and The National there.... I've got my two biggest wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario man Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think it's a pretty good first release. Looking down the poster there is at least one act, quite often more, on each line that I want to see. Strongest depth of the ones I've been to since 2010 I'd say, although I did miss 13 & 15, which watching from the outside looked very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too long either so you'll have plenty of time to study the rest of the lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
