What did Glasto get right this year?

Literally heard The Comet is Coming for the first time a few days ago on 6 music. Absolutely loved the single, discovered the new album was out today. Then driving in to work hear on 6 music they are playing the festival. Pretty excited about that (listening to the album now and it's pretty good).

Lots of bands/acts there I'm excited about. Not going to list them all but Christine and The Queens and Hot Chip are probably the two I'm most looking forward to.

Also looking forward to checking out some acts I haven't hear much off on spotify. Part of the joy off a glastonbury poster is the discoveries it leads you to. Sam Fender, Billie Eilish, Janet Jackson (I feel like she's a massive name, but I coudn't name any of her songs), Stefflon Don (know nothing about him, but I love the name) and Jorja Smith are first on my research list if anyone has any song recommendations.

Gaga already did play though...

Lets just all hope its Little Mix next year for the Katy Perry slot 

I actually had them down for that slot after seeing them perform last year. But Miley is still a great booking for that slot.

I know not everyone cup of tea but being one of the biggest uk girl bands around right now, just surprised they haven't done a slot.

Nobody from X Factor has ever played, although they're clearly moving further and further away from the days of being pretentious about having out-and-out pop on the main stages so it might happen one day.

It’s a superbly diverse mix of acts and I really do think that there is something for everyone in the big acts, let alone the bulk of the festival which is still to come. Christine and the Queens is the stand out booking for me, but there are 5-6 acts that I really really want to see. Another 10-12 that I would love to catch. Just really well balanced

    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.

    • Solid list...  but i must ask?  are you excluding Lime Garden & Tomora as you didn't like them or is it that you havent listened to them? 
    • It was Brooklyn last year, and I seem to remember a Guinness tent
