stuartbert two hats Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 The other thing to mention with Janet, is that whilst the rest of the family were complicit in depriving Michael of his childhood, you can hardly lay the blame for that at his little sister.

Sasperella Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I still find her to be the weirdest addition to the poster....I guess she wouldn't take a low slot, but she seems so out of place that high up! Is she going to pull a big crowd??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed was huge like him or not and Biffy Clyro...compare to Janet and The Cure. Not often on Sunday night I could miss both headliner and sub. I'd expect Lauryn Hill below Stormzy?

danbailey80 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yes very odd. I'm hoping it''s not due to trying to have more female acts. Waste of a big slot and money if you ask me. Pointless artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Nah - not when Liam Gallagher and George Ezra are also taking big slots. One of the more interesting bookings on the line-up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeEmpire Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Completely agree. Whether you like her or not, she's definitely the most interesting choice this year. If we hadn't had a heads up before, it would have been a proper 'wow' moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helsbels Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I used to love Janet Jackson when I was younger. I'm in my 40s now and I'll definitely be going to see her 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of a big slot and money if you ask me. Pointless artist. Couldn't disagree more on both fronts. If the predominance of women winds up the old blokes (of which I'm one) who want more indie rock in there then all the better and hats off to Emily ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very keen that Emily is clearly trying to add more details artists. Just wish it was First Aid Kit and not Janet Jackson. I.E someone who's good.

In fact I'd expect them still to show up. JJ is a far rarer and more unusual beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah what a great idea when you could be having fun instead. Janet certainly has a following, not sure how many of them will be at Glastonbury though, and her casual appeal doesn't seem especially strong.

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I have made this point before, but it's a bit odd to be enthused about the likes of Janelle Monae on the line up but totally unenthusiastic about Janet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jntsrb Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I can't wait! Some people tend to disrespect and underrate the legend Janet Jackson is. As I said, she would never accept to perform if she's not one of the headliners and she shouldn't. She literally sold more records than all these artists on the poster combined and had a much bigger influence on music, even indie music than any of them. I can't even remember how many amazing indie artists said she's one of their main inspirations, not to mention major stars. Her music is more important than her huge success and that's the best part.
