Mardy Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Headliners apart, it seems to be made up of entirely Roundhouse/Hammersmith Apollo sized acts. Pretty unimaginative. I fear that Glastobury's imperial phase is ending. Still an amazing weekend, but the real memorable stuff, the once in a lifetime, the stuff to keep you nourished when you're sitting in a nursing home wrapped in an unchanged nappy is going to be away from any of those main stages. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Spoon Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Could at a push pull together an average/okay day festival from the acts but overall that's fairly brutal imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Season Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 There is a severe void of jazz on the line up for me also, perhaps bar Arooj Aftab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanWhite Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Is it ok to say that the line up is a massive disappointment BUT you will have an amazing time anyway? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernangel Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 4 minutes ago, Rose-Colored Boy said: No Stevie Nicks is a real shame. Although just the sun I think, they mentioned a few days back that they believed SZA was due to headline after Madonna, Stevie and Nicks fell through. I'm surprised Rodrigo was just called but then I don't think she had the length yet. The difference of her on that second line would be huge and with a gaping hole.

I think it's fair to say that it's a slightly weaker lineup than recent years but I will still have a blast and there is lots there to keep me entertained.

JonSnow Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Definitely the weakest line up for me since I started following the festival around 15 years ago. Will be interesting to see how people find the resale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 24 minutes ago, Rose-Colored Boy said: Haven’t been following the rumours this year so it’s all a bit of a surprise to me. If Sunday night’s headliners are SZA, The National and Justice then the latter is going to be insanely crowded. Correct. Dangerously so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Telephone Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Simz on LL now. Gonna be great on the Pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalviaPlath Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Not the strongest and some odd, in my view, stage placing but not bad. I think it's a reasoned choice of headliners in that you have an established British pop star, an international act on the rise and Coldplay as something for the normies.

Neil Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 1 hour ago, gherkin8r said: When I was thinking Pulp were likely, Stevie Nicks had a good chance and Stevie f**king wonder was headlining it was easy to look past the Coldplays and nationals of the world. That lineup has so much beige the apathy is dripping out of me. not a classic year , if i'd bought a £300 ticket based on previous line-ups, i'd be feeling mugged, i bet the instant sell-outs will now slow down.

ourkid1984 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I think the undercard is strong. Overall plenty to see, just a lack of big names, which is typical of every festival this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K2SO Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 25 minutes ago, JonnyG said: My two 20-year old daughters are very excited by this line-up. I just turned 30, and not a single person I know personally has said anything genuinely positive about it. The best I got was a "It's not all about the lineup" which was a very different tone to how that would usually be said 😂 Hope your daughters have a great time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
