2017. Best lineup for ages

[JayBalls]

And think of all of the juicy stuff still to be announced for silver hayes, SE corner etc etc

[FrancisH]

It's good... I wouldn't put it in best for ages - I'm still fuming at no ATCQ, for me that would have put it up there with the rest. I also think 2015, personally for me, was a lot better.

[OBface]

Best line up since 2015 for me. And would definitely take the fake poster over the actual one 

Having said that though, plenty to keep me happy

Cross posted with you fellow 2015 fan. Now that was a year!

Also reeling from the lack of ATCQ.

There's less of a 'wow' factor for me this year (though part of that is down to me already having a ticket to Can, that'd be a big one otherwise).

objectively, though, it's fantastic. It's such a wide selection; a great balance between new and old, and mainstream and alternative. 

[nikkic]

26 I want to see off that list. Brilliant line up. Still stunned at how good it is. 

[Bobs]

Definitely a good line-up for me.

 

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.

I think this is it - needed someone unexpected like Bjork to lift it into the realms of unparalleled for me. Though I recognise this was met for most with the National being listed.

Yup, pretty much. That and the fact I've known for months that Radiohead are there. The lineup is fantastic for me, there just wasn't that initial excitement I felt last year from Sigur Rós and LCD being on the poster.

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. 

I agree with this. Holding out hope for more indie/rock/dance acts

Yep definitely an issue with all the good information we get on here tainting the excitement somewhat. Though I;m not sure what could ever beat LCD last year. Lesson then is stay away from this site in future (never going to happen  )

[JayBalls]

All being said, I was sold at Radiohead.

[phil the shrew]

Very happy with the line up but waiting for the stage splits to see how many of my favourites I'll get to see. Plus smaller stages like Leftfield are yet to announce and get some good acts on those stages too

Still only a tiny percentage of the total acts announced but happy so far

Only amongst people who've never seen The National live before.

Not for me...yet. I tend not to get to carried away with the initial announcement, as the festival likes to cover all bases with the first poster. But then there's never been a perfect Glastonbury lineup for my taste. Not one that I've been to anyway. Doesn't mean I haven't had the best time, and this year will be no different. There's only one absolute must-see on there at the moment and eight will-probably-sees. A lot of the strongly rumoured acts like Pond, King Gizzard, Fatboy Slim, Cabbage and The Coral will fill some gaps over the next few weeks. Then there'll be the naughty corner and Arcadia stuff which rounds it all off nicely

Yeah I get this. Noticed that many on here with music taste I like and respect are excited at them being announced. Very tempted to dive in but then I run the risk of another horrific clash. What to do?!

Last twice I saw them we left early cos they weren't cutting it.

I totally misinterpreted your post. Decision made then

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Depends - maybe a less good version of Tindersticks is the act you've dreamed of all your life.

Personally there is a lot more to.get excited about than the fake one that was going about.

I prefer the fake one tbh but theres still a load of good acts on both. 

[OBface]

This is where stage splits would come in handy. CONFLICTED.

[bsolxiv]

My 2 favourite bands-arcade fire and Radiohead. The year arcade fire were announced there was nothing else I wanted to see. When Radiohead were announced I was worried it may be the same. But I am blown away. If I get one must see pyramid headliner plus a few great others, I can't ask for any more.
