Am I missing something here? Did the original poster add in QOTSA to the list in their post because they're not mentioned anywhere in that Guardian article. Or, did the Guardian initial include them in the articles list and very quickly back track?

They've since been removed from Guardian.

One of the worst lineups I’ve seen. Reading and Leeds is miles better

The GNR BS besides, I wonder whom all the moaners think should be on the bill who aren't - and that should be constrained by acts who are active this summer....

Biggest surprises are no Pulp, no Rosalia and no The Prodigy.

Yes. But they're not a new name to anyone who's been keeping their ear to the ground.  We can still expect them to be there.......unless they've cancelled or something.

Maybe QOTSA want to announce their tour first. Rock Werchter are announcing their full line up today. Things might be clearer come 3pm.

Plenty I'm excited for. Sparks, Hot Chip, Lizzo, Blondie, Leftfield, Carly Rae Jepson...

 

But no Pulp?!

Got to be a nailed on secret set

[Tranquility of Solitude]

As well as Prodigy & Pulp,  Was hoping to see Siouxsie and Angel Olsen on initial poster.

[TGCarr]

Sunsine. Pissed. With your mates and this belting?

 

Think everyone angry here is a little miserable

 

 

[Zoo Music Girl]

This is only a fraction of the total lineup so based on that I'm delighted.

So far I have (people I'd like to see, won't do em all):

Elton and GnR, Lizzo, Blondie, Candi Staton, Carly Rae Jepsen, Ezra Collective, Hot Chip, Leftfield, Manics, Phoenix, Sparks, Texas, Lana del Ray, Thundercat, Sudan Archives, Young Fathers

Great start!

[RatingsAndMoney]

Enjoying the Texas love-in! Will also be there with a cold pint in hand. Friday Other opener would be lovely to kick our festival off!

Yep. I've got more than that, but this by itself is great.

[JSmurphy]

It's okay. Am I deluded in thinking my resale chances might have just increased?

[Matt42]

Have a stinking hangover this morning and feel like I’m going to vom any minute.

Not bad - but I’m baffled some names we thought we had are not there - Sam Smith, Rosalia, Queens of the Stone Age, (BLACKPINK), Pulp, The Prodigy.

I wonder if they lost a lot of people in the process somehow. Maybe they lined up numerous names and many bookings fell through?

I do wonder if Pulp might have asked to be held back given yesterday's news (I know he wasn't playing with them but out of respect). Am I massively clutching at straws?! 

I hope you're right.

Not really getting the negativity round here tbh. I'm pumped!

Gosh. No FOMO this year from me. Happy to let someone else enjoy the festival this year. 🙂

Probably, yeah.

There'll be people vocal that they don't like it, but there'll also be people who do. Just like every year. Overall it'll likely balance out, and of course any difference won't be noticeable on the front line (unless it fails to sell entirely, which isn't going to happen).

Where do Manics go now? Still partway down other or headlining elsewhere?

Been on my mrs' bucket list for a while and I'd be happy to be there too

They were meant to be Park headliners in 2020, so maybe there

[moogster]

Well I am quite happy with this first list. I knew I wouldn't care for the Pyramid headliners anyway but the rest has the variety I am looking for at Glasto. Unfortunately my other half just got a bit too excited with the name Phoenix to my taste but that means the start of group/partner discussions, which is always fun.

Me too. Lot of the negativity coming from people without tickets, and I get that. I’d be the same, trying to convince myself I wasn’t bothered.

Remember hearing Candi from theatre area last time she played and instantly regretting not being there.

I do understand that but I remember when the lineup came up last year and I didn't have a ticket I just felt gutted to not be going. But then I quickly tried to pretend it wasn't happening!

[st dan]

I think you have to look at it positively in that fact that it’s realistically as good/strong as it could have been given touring schedules, who played last year etc. They can’t book who isn’t there. 

That being said, Guns n’ Roses are a terrible choice as headliner for many reasons.
