The Killers v Hot Chip for me. Missed Hot Chip last time for SFA (no regrets at all) but it's the missus first Glastonbury and she's dead set on The Killers. Who I don't mind necessarily but Hot Chip they ain't. Will be nice for my girlfriend to experience a Pyramid headliner and they are on of her favourite bands so gonna miss out on Hot Chip again.

Chemical Brothers v The Cure makes me a bit sad as I will definitely be watching The Cure (I loved their Bestival set and just love them in general) but have always had a good time watching The Chemical Brothers too.

That's the thing .... Chems are brilliant live, but then there is always that thought that you'll see 'em next time. The Cure aren't playing again.

The age old Glastonbury question is do you go for tried and tested or do you seek pastures new? It's the same question for the food too.

There isnt a dance act big eniugh to headline the Pyramid Barring Calvin Harris who has everything pre mixed or Daft Punk who are nowhere to be seen

Theres rumors on the Daft Punk subreddit that they're getting new helmets made.... which apparently they only do before they tour. Not sure how reliable or true the info is but we can hope.

Jesus why do people gotta lie? I know Daft Punk's helmet makers and they haven't heard anything about it...

I'm not sure on the days, but most of the bands I'm most interested in are very likely to be headlining whatever stage they're on. So far I've got:

1. Jon Hopkins

2. Hot Chip

3. The Cure

4. Chemical Brothers

5. Lauren Hill

Who are all likely to headline a stage ( I wouldn't book Ms Hill in any slot that's going to mess up the timings for any other artist). So that's five acts and *checks notes* three nights they could be playing. I really don't want to miss any of them. Now, I am seeing Hot Chip in Gorilla in Manchester, but I bloody well saw them there in 2015 and missed them at Glastonbury, I really don't want to do that again.

Could Lauren Hill not potentially do a mid afternoon slot? Same as Mary J Blige a couple of years back?

Cure vs Janelle Monae - it looks inevitable already. Just think, in 2017 I had no idea what to do on the Sunday night (ended up loving Justice - a fabulous atmosphere there). This year I am already clash-cross! 

Yes it is...just don’t involve the Chems in this one ?

It's a real glass ceiling for dance acts, isn't it. The Pyramid exists for guitar bands and the occasional rapper when they want think they're diversive. I'm being provocative to provoke discussion, but that's an argument...

I think its more just dance acts are better in the dark (or if it is during the day, at least in a tent).

Obviously everyone likes to do the festival differently so not a criticism or anything but have you considered just both going to the separate things you want to see and meeting up afterwards? It's nice coming back together and telling each other about the sets you've just seen and some of the best headline sets I've seen have been alone.

The Killers vs the Chems (although people seeming to think the Chems might be Sunday makes me, selfishly as I know a lot on here would rather them be Saturday, a very happy human).

LG vs The Courteeners - Seen LG before so would probably opt for the Courteeners. Awaiting the bucket hat comments for this one.

Shows the different range of tastes, i'll be over the moon for the Chems to be on Sunday night clashing with The Cure as I only like a couple of The Cure songs, The Chems on the other hand will be amazing and a perfect way to end the festival for me.

Potential clashes that may be an issue for me is Christine and the Queens if they headline a stage rather than get a daytime/evening slot.

I really need to see Sam Fender too so hoping for a decent time for him.

Exactly, can't cater for everyone at all times, but at all times, everyone will be catered for. In one way or another. I'm with you on C&TQ too and my boyfriend wants to see Sam Fender so also hoping he's not too caught up in clashes for us personally.

I'm dreading C&TQ being a headliner on a stage as one of my must sees but if they play on Sunday and headline then that's worst case scenario for me. Hoping for an early evening spot.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
