Craigston Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Maybe I’m getting old and I know it’s horses for courses, but overall, the Glasto line up really is so shite this year, I’m glad I’m not going. Probably 2 or 3 must sees for me when it’s usually 20 or 30. I recently dug out an old 2007 t-shirt- checking the back print that had a properly brilliant line up and I loved the fest, despite the site being like the Somme public baths that year. I pulled out of my resale group as a result of the line up (they all got tickets) as I felt the cash outlay wasn’t quite worth it for the craic alone. Hope you all have a good one - it can be the best place on earth with the right ents to enjoy cheers all Craigston 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titters Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 There's still the full line up to come, so hopefully The Automatic and The Fratellis will still make it this year too. 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuwarr Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Whilst I respect that people may not want to fork out hundreds of pounds if they're not keen on the line up, I will still never get the logic of only being able to enjoy Glastonbury if your day is packed with endless acts you want to see. I'm happy to have a handful of acts I *have* to see and then have the rest of the time free to explore and enjoy everything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0paz Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 20-30 must sees? I don’t think I’ve ever seen 30 bands in one Glasto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_Glasto Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 I’m lucky if I maybe see about 10-12 sets at Glasto. Half of those will be ones I never intended on seeing. Can’t imagine how militant you must be to see your 20 or 30 must sees and how you avoid those clashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryaanderson Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Some people just need that lineup to look spot on - there’s genuinely a part of me that feels disappointed when Friday comes along and all the major acts begin, and all of that is amazing too! What a place, never over concern yourself with the line up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple aki squat Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 You regret this deep down really. Why post on here if not. Best festival in the world and there are a load more acts to be announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOCF Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) The festival could have UB40, Maroon 5 and Bryan Adams headline and no one else play at all on the main stages; the three worst acts of all time and I’d still probably go.

It helps to think this: Quote the Glasto line up really is so shite this year It's a kind of confirmation bias. You know full well it'll be fantastic, but it helps to think it won't be because you won't be there to experience it. Good luck in October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I still remain very bullish about this lineup. For me it doesn't have that one mega act (Radiohead and LCD in the past two years) but it has more acts on that next tier down than the last three I've been to. I'm terms of anticipation, there are no 10/10s but a LOT of 8 and 9/10s. In a way I prefer that because I can spend my energy focussing on a wider variety of acts than just being so pumped for one specific set. It feels fresh and exciting, and the most "contemporary" edition of the festival for quite a while. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go with a group of 8-12 people and 80% of those don’t really look at the line up until they have a guardian guide on there hands. They only go for the craic!
