What a bizarre and strange thing to actually type. 

Really not. The biggest bullshit, make up story and troll on here. We come here because it's all there is. It's not all there because of Neil, not going by his last few years. It's all there is because frankly no one cares that much enough. You get a few hundred on here out of how many people that go to festivals?

You know the options don’t you ?

Thought just occurred to me that the lack of announcements, lack of strong candidates/candidates playing elsewhere (a la Swifty) and the increased costs of putting on a performance might all be symptoms of the same problem.  Glasto can't afford to pay the sort of money big acts can make on stadium tours etc. and that gap has rapidly widened since 2019 when there were great headliners in the mix.  Perhaps bigger acts just can't afford to do it for the fees on offer now or are chasing coin by doing their own stuff or more commercial festivals instead.  Maybe Glasto can't compete in the market anymore and the cache of headlining isn't enough to swing it.  Maybe they are actually struggling to get replacement headliners after being let down?

This year they had Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar and they've not even announced anyone yet for next year.

I think you are jumping the gun a bit

Doesn't matter who it was does it. It was wrong, you were wrong. What's new!

Exactly

GOOD! You aren't needed there anymore

You knew the ticket price before you chose to purchase without any bands announced.

it was good info at the time i was given it, things changed.

i was hoping for a top-notch line-up when i bought my ticket, and if gnr are headlining it definitely isn't going to be top-notch.

if i'm going to stop going somewhen soon (and i am, getting old sucks, then best to drop out in a bad year.

gazza i'm going to kill off your latest alter-ego.

Maybe I am, but they were all honouring commitments from before the global economy went to shit.  We expected Taylor Swift to do likewise for next year, but guess what?  She chose to make gazillions of dollars instead.

Might force them to think out of the box, take some chances and get some interesting headliners.

Sod the picnic blanket bucket listers.

And no I'm not going to make any suggestions.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
