Just seen the announcement about them playing in Bristol. This line up is already incredible - this would be incredible for me. PLEASE! Very happy to be the bearer of fantastic news I mean, it's not a confirmation, but fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernandomassuy Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 In all honesty this is a 7/10 for me. With Liam Gallagher, Richard Ashcroft and Manic Street Preachers it might jump to at least 8.5/10 depending on clashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read so far there are some great surprises on there and about 10 acts that I really want to see. What I really like is that we were wrong with most of our predictions. I don't think anyone on here guessed Katy Perry over Gaga and it's great that they can still hide so much from us. This is a good thing as most of the predictions were weak and shit.

briddj Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 The more I think about it the more Manics to open seems to fit. They don't have new material to promote so it literally would be an hour long greatest hits set. Would be a lovely start to the weekend.

There are quite a few names on the list I'm not overly familiar with, but guess what? I used to be a Glastonbury regular, but this is my first one for 18 years and I'm so happy to be going back. I've seen just about everyone live I'd have liked to, often multiple times, and am happy to get to see new acts. This'll be my son's first Glastonbury and he's looking forward to some of the Grime stuff and I'm glad there's acts there for him, as that's what it's all about. And the fact that it's a 'Radiohead' Glastonbury makes it a de facto special one for me. You will have a blast Henry Bear. i was a similar returner in 2011 after an absence of 17 years, and I took my son for his first ever festival too- start at the top! That first night back, dancing in the rain to Primal Scream is one of my favourite Glastonbury memories. The site is bigger, there are people on site, even thought the fence jumpers have all but gone, but you can still find the core of the older festival within the newer festival. Enjoy.

Fladog Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 On 30/03/2017 at 4:35 PM, adjwholovesmusic said: For me it's one of the worst line ups. To Urban, Grimey and Pop heavy for me. Don't get me wrong there are some corkers on there but overall not to my tastes. Disappointed but as a good friend of mine has pointed out, once we get a couple of Brothers Ciders and are ready to get down I'm sure we will find something to tantalise our musical taste buds. Yeah I don't really get grime, to me its just angry Londoners talking about "beef" they have with other grime artists in a violent way.... Other then that I think its a cracking line up so far..

Biffy, Courteeners (don't stone me for it), Katy Perry (curiousity, and she's got a cracking stage presence ), Phoenix, Goldfrapp, Wild Beasts, Craig David, Circa Waves and Temples on there which catch my eye. Will possibly hit Foos and Radiohead if there's nothing which catches my eye. Can't wait for Katy Perry will definatley watch her and then pop back to my tent for a bit of "me time" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you are laughing?, go back and compare what we would have had and what we will? The lasthe one was The Xx, Elbow and Kaiser Chiefs at one point as subs as many had dropped the idea of Gaga and we're stuck on another and that wasnr the only one like that. The odd The Weeknd one but don't think many really believed it. Then you ended up with Biffy and Katy with not expecting it, The National in the same way, Major Lazer and some others.

Gnomicide Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Better initial poster than last year or the year before, plenty I want to see but no absolute must sees for me. Compared to last year there are more big names I am interested in so I've at least got a Pyramid headliner and maybe one or two more. Still happy but as usual I'm waiting for Avalon and Leftfield lineups to appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers_mark Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Must see - The National, Stormzy, RTJ, Phoenix, Toots, Avalanches, FLips, Moderat, Shaggy (if on Pyramid), Future Islands Like to see - Radiohead, Katy Perry, Barry Gibb, Chic, Lorde, Jacksons, Justice, Sleaford Mods, Little Dragon, BSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Sadly last three line-ups were better for me personally. Worst for a long time (08?) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.M.V Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Brilliant one for me. Might even see a pyramid headliner at last depending on clashes. On another note the feedback I've been getting from friends who normally have little interest other than me going is that it's a cracking line up and they wouldn't mind getting tickets. None of them are even registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Anna - I will. One thing I remember about 1999 was that the whole site was rammed, but then it seemed so easy to get in without a ticket that year. Can't wait for the return!

kingbadger Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Really good poster drop for me. I only really got into music/gigs etc 4 or 5 years ago, so only now am I really broadening my horizons, with a lot of help from this forum. Last two poster drops I've only known a handful of acts and then I've gotten stuck into research, whereas this year there's already plenty I know and would like to see. That includes 3 of my favorite acts of all time (Radiohead, Avalanches, Flaming Lips), some guilty pleasures (Gibb/Perry) plus acts 2012 indie landfill loving me would have laughed off in pure 'lad' spirit (Olsen/Solange/Jacksons/Toots/RTJ) Still excited at the prospect of what's still left to come. I expect most of the big slots have been taken, but reckon we'll get a few nice surprises one the timetable drops in a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peroni Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'm so so pleased with it. We had some folks toying with not going. All (apart from the preggo one) are paying off balances of the back of it. I would go whatever i just love the place... But I'm happy with it.

H.M.V Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Just gone back and counted my list of who I want to see from that first poster and its currently 23 acts. This year is going to have some epic clashes going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlei Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I counted up, and from the poster I want to see 19 of the acts (and that's not including the ones i don't know, who i'll inevitably research!). Epic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
