Probably the worst Glasto Line-up I've ever seen!

Must agree.... pretty poor lineup.... next time release the acts before ya release the tickets.....

The whole idea of releasing tickets before the line up is to avoid getting people like you turn up. Where else do you get this calibre of choice for £50 a day? If you don't like it, don't come.

I was thinkng Gabriel's Geneiss might suit here...
And were'nt there rumours about Creedence?

I think its belting.

Up the Glasto.

Good line-up, its awesome!!! This is going to be a v.good year!!

i can't believe you're complaining bout the line up!! i'm gonna have a problem to actually c all the artists i want 2 c!! It's an amazing line line up!! Shpongle, dave clarke and electroids..... here i come!!! can't wait, once again well done for line up this is why we don't mind buying tickets before line up comes out! XXX Rebecca from malta

What are you people on about?! Best festival line-up i can remember since the late 90's. I have a feeling i might need to be packing extra pairs of rubber pants this year....

I'm so excited!! fantasic line up as ever, and more to see off the stages too!

Glastonbury is not just about the music. That is a misconception of everybody who hasn't been.

STOP COMPLAINING!

Glastonbury would still be great fun if the only band playing were a bunch of hippies with a didgeridoo. You could actually probably find that somewhere... stone circle anyone?

I find it hard to believe that there aren't a few bands you want to see in that vast line up....even if you hate them all, its not about the music anyway. Have a hash cake and go and sit in the tipi field instead if you don't like the Kaiser Cheifs.

K

I can't believe people who are complaining about the lineup! Unbelievable!!! Gutted 'cos Madonna isn't playing???!!!!

I must admit when i saw the leaked versions of the Pyramid and Other stages i was a little disappointed, but having seen the whole lineup, and who on the smaller stages I CAN'T WAIT. Its an amazing lineup. I went to Glasto in '03, but this is better.

Plus people are right. For £50 a day you can't be robbed and Glasto is special, and not just cos of the music.

well at least the line up makes up for the yearly shambles of going through THAT process of buying your ticket. worse and worse every year,and this one finally took the complete biscuit.

Don't miss John Fogerty. He's the highlight of the weekend.

FANTASTIC live show

well you lot must be blind, the likes of good shoes, the view, DJ Yoda, dub pistols, The Holloways, i cant wait, going to be loads of clashes, the annoyance of liking a wide choice of music :-)

All those people that are complaing about the line up are crazy!! Pendulum, Artic Monkeys, Chemical Brothers, The Kooks who else do u want?

Yay!!!! Glastonbury!!! YAY!!!!!!

Random question but does anyone know if to many djs are stil playin in the dance village cos it aint showin on the lin-up anymo??

I agree lineups shud b released b4 we part with our cash!well it'l b summin new next year i'v heard isle of wight supposed 2b preety good!

2 Many DJs? Not this year, unfortunately...

For me it wouldn't matter when the lineup is announced - yes I love the music but glastonbury is so much more than that - IT'S THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE!! I would pay my money no matter who was playing :-)

No 'Creedance', no 'The Good, The Bad and The Queen', no 'Smokey Robinson'...
Glasto may be the best in the UK, but if they had released the line-up before the tickets, I would have chosen another Festival in Europe.

Still good, but not the best possible. If you live in London, you already have seen most of those bands on the past year...

Line up - shmine up. Who cares! it's Glasto. I've been loads and every year the best stuff ive seen has been something I had no intention of seeing but was walking past on the way somewhere else. You cant go wrong.

all you people complaining about no 'creedance', who do you think john fogerty is?

Everyone moaning shouldn't bother coming. Simple.

True. Sorry.

I'm just incredibly disappointed for not having The Good, The Bad and The Queen... But I'll get over it !!

There may be a surprise appearance on the John Peel stage or somewhere like that!

Mr Eavis!!! Please book Boards Of Canada next year (in the Glade would be perfect). Suprised Thom Yorke hasn't been booked this year either... but as I couldn't get tickets I'm not too disappointed - just hope the telly doesn't show the entire Killers set again - how about a bit of eveything, chaps?

wow. in 12 years of going, this is easily the poorest lineup so far. true, theres some corkers, but emily eavis has a LOT to answer for. her influence is ruining the place. the kooks? mika? james morrison? ffs! it looks like a V lineup, not glastonbury. its all a bit too safe and predicatable

i know I for one will be avoiding the main stage for the bulk of the festival.

i'll still have a great time, but i doubt a lot of that will be down to the music. although back to the planet? GET IN!

Two points (probably re-iterating those already stated by some, but just to inform the haters....):

1) This is one of the best line-ups i've seen and this is my 5th Glast session.

2) Even it wasn't an amazing line-up i'd still be excited as the atmosphere at Glasto p1sses all over any other festival. If you want to have commercial tat rammed down your throat, and maybe get lucky and watch a poor pop act like Girls Aloud, go to Leeds or V, if you want 3-4 days of blissed out chilled happiness, keep going to Glasto.

Adios.

The Pyramid is very mainstream but there's some great stuff lined up elsewhere. As said before, its really about the random episodes of friendliness & fun. Can't beat a cup of Chai as the sun comes up.

The Marley experience is a lovely touch - I'll enjoy singing along to Exodus, so maybe I'll make it to the main stage after all..

Can highly recommend LONGRANGE (ex-Orbital), they were awesome at the Big Chill last year.

To everyone who didn't get tickets, we appreciate going and good luck next year.

wow wow wow I cant WAIT!!!

Dont listen to those whinging blaggards below at the end of the day you can go to glasto see no bands whatsoever and still have the best time since your first remembered christmas!!!!!!

GOGOL BORDELLO, OZRICS, DONT NEED ANYMORE !

Glastonbury the best festival in the world?

I think not. I'm hoping other comments other people have written about it being about more than the music become true.

I took a punt on 'glasto' producing the goods over rock werchter in belgium the following weekend. how wrong i was.

Michael Eavis said the best modern band in the world was supposed to play? Is that the killers after only two cd's. please.

I agree with the nay-sayers. The line-up is poor... if you don't like prancing, immaculately scruffy posh boys playing formulaic drivel and has beens then the main stages are crap... on a plus note, Avalon, Glade and leftfield look good. And there's always the Cabaret tent for spliffs and laughter...

wow i cant believe there's 1 negative comment towards glastonbury?
it almost takes the essence off it. dont complain enjoy yourselfs it may b the last time u never know. cant wait to go thanx 4 puttin on such a prestiege festival.

oh shut up moaning oh the line up is crap, and your gutted because some random band from the middle of nowhere that nobody has ever heard of arnt playin, you just shouldnt have bought your tickets in the first place, and give somebody else them who would be more apreciate. your just moaning for moaning sake.

Glasty line up,

"think I have just pissed my pants"

Cant wait.

So,if I understand it right, it's ok for people to drool over Eavis like some kind of god and gush away at crap bands, but I can't moan?

Fawn, fawn, fawn, fawn, fawn... is that better?

i guess these moaners havent been before. what were they expecting? this is the largest array of perfomers alltogether, at one time, in the country. maybe even the world. with such a diverse array of things to see, do, and take part in i feel like a lottery winner that im actually gonna be there.

see you all there my festy friends

It's not an incredible line-up but that's not the whole reason I'm going anyway.

The thing that shocks me is Manics before the Kaiser Chiefs. I mean really.

I think if you moan about who's actually playing at Glastonbury, you're missing the point... or you've simply never been.

If you're not impressed by the headliners - check out the other stages! The LeftField and the Dance Village have some amasing stuff lined up, and the Jazz World Stage is always excellent. And that's not counting the dozens of little stages, cubby holes and stalls that pump out tunes all day and night.

On of my personal highlights of 2005 were the wine stalls that put on a show of cheesy tunes every night 'neath a giant inflatable wine bottle. Live a little!

Get a life worst line up, im just happy im going, coulndt give a shit whos playing!

Been 5 times and I've have spent no more than 8 to 10 hours at the big stages each time. Glastonbury is so much more than "gigging". In fact, if attending gigs is your thing, try to catch your heroes on tours of theatres and concert halls. it sounds better indoors anyway!

Alright sunday isn't as GREAT as the other days, but the whole 3 days all in all is unbelievable, it's amazing. got a prob refund your ticket i'm sure someone else will want it.

Greetings, has anybody received an e-mail to verify when our tickets will be released?.
Got an e-mail on verification which said you would receive a mail in May stating when tickets would be sent. As yet no joy

If I was younger I would go to Glastonbury just to see Rufus Wainwright. Having seen him in London last week-end I would consider that he's worth the price of a ticket all by himself!

Heyy,
Is anyone else still waiting for their ticket to come through? I know someone who got theirs earlier this week but I haven't...

Does anyone think Peter Doherty and Carl Barat will reunite? Considering they're both to play?

this years glasto line up is awsome even thou this is my first festival and its going to be awsome no matter what. its an experiance you gotta take in.

VERY POOR LINE UP!! Im very disapointed!

We haven't recieved our tickets yet. Have you?

No tickets either!!

Why don't all you people moaning about the line up all meet up, I'm sure that would be more fun for you all. Maybe you could also not stop others enjoying it next year! I can't wait to get there again, and I'm sure we'll all enjoy the extra space you leave us. Prehaps party in the park.....

nah its defin a gooden, like he sed big up the glasto, n e ideas of the mighty ...noel fielding there???

i think they should have kept completely silent on the line up as the disappointment was not having any new surprises on the line up ...i needed to tell myself to get a grip you spoilt brat...
it's just the big names were already out there and for some reason on June 1st I thought there would be some huge announcement but they just confirmed what we knew. I also fancied some more dance acts and big dance dj's and they all seem new or unknown (to me at least...I need to do some myspace research - love snacho panza thou)...so does this mean I am old? And in fact if I wanted dance then should I be going to global gathering??? not a traditionally folky indie fest? Apart from all my inner debating, which extends to how big is my carbon wellie stomp print going to be by just attending...I think it will be great :-)

oh and the marley brothers are going to be amazing!!!!!!!!!! and richie havens and the artic monkeys oooh i am making meeself rather excited

the ticket thing is a pain in the bum :( All that effort to get tickets (which still havent arrived btw), all those disappointed people, & now one of us cant go so their ticket is going completely to waste. There has to be a better way, doesnt there?

Do u know wat u lot that are going on about the line up...being crap shld just stay at home!! you have no sese of adventage!!!So wat not everything that is on is amazing but stil its a privalidge too see the bands that are on!! You have tooo remember there has to be somethings to please everyone, so its not going to be all YOUR favourite music is it?! You shld be grateful....there is many people that were despirate for a ticket that were unfortunate and are very disapointed!
If you have nothing better to do than complain the go somewhere else........stop putting other people off....and spoiling the excitment of others and first timers!!!!
Next time dnt by a ticket!!You could have refunded your tickets when you heard the rumours of the line up beacuse you had an idea of what was going to be on, you choose not to soo live wit it and let the rest of us be excited.........!!!
Glasto 2005 was amazing!!
So bring on glasto 2007!!!!

I think a lot of people are mistakenly thinking that just because a band or performer is not a huge household name they won't be any good. There's loads of great music from smaller bands dotted all around the festival - I was at the Emerging Talent Comp Finals and heard some truly fantastic stuff and almost all of the bands that made it there are putting in an appearance somewhere at the festival. Recommendations (if you can find where they are at) are Cortina Deluxe, Liz Green, Polichinelle and (shameless plug for my band ahoy) Feluka. Out of all the bands on the lineup, how many haven't you seen or even heard of before? Keep an open mind, there's bound to be some marvellous stuff around that you haven't even considered because you're too keen to see 'name' acts.

Oh...the Soundcarriers were awesome as well - should have won their category if you ask me.

Listen to Feluka!

Parts of the lineup look a bit "T4 on the beach" but it doesnt matter. They could get rid of the two main stages and 90% of what makes the festival special would remain.

The organizers do themselves no favors by making such a big deal of waiting for the June 1st announcement and then failing to delver any surprises.

The ticketing has been a farce once again.

Despite all that, there's plenty to look forward to. A Libertines reunion (?) alone would justify the ticket cost for me. I can't wait!

Free ticket - gees you lucky thing! Do you know anyone else going? You could do the festival on your own, although it may be more fun with some others.. if you've never been and you have a free ticket it's really worth going, if your on your own you could go
for a day to save camping on your own.. or you may find other people on the net who are travelling on their own and you could hang out with them..

If you cant find a few bands/djs you like or would be interested in seeing out of the hundreds of acts listed then you really are a sad bastard, and you should open your mind you might just discover something new...

first time ive looked at the comments page and cant belive that apart from a few fellow happy souls you all seem to be moaning about the line up,are you telling there is nothing any of you want to watch or is just the line up isnt you particular brand of whats cool. trust me if you have not been before just look around and keep an open mind its great honestly. also not a fan of the honours system but glad to see someone appreciates mr eavis efforts, personally reading what some of you have to say i dont know why he bothers .

Good line up.
Wish I was going.
Thought my exams were the same time as the festival...but they finished a week earlier.

Fucking exam timetable didnt come out till all the tickets were gone.

Stop complaining.

If you dont like the line up, sell me your ticket. You should be bastard grateful that your privileged enough to be going.

Anyone who slates glasto linup is a punk! Who cares what the lineup is - this is glastonbury. The best festival in the world.

There's meant to be thundery showers on Friday...and the forecast for the rest of the week is baadd.
concerned much?

concerned? it wouldnt be glasto with out 5"rain. bring it on mother nature

hah, who do we go by the met office or the BBC?

I'm soooooo excited I think I'm going to pee myself before Wednesday! My first Glasto I've been waiting for this for years. I'm evening having dreams about forgetting my Wellies.

Greetings from Vancouver Canada. All the days have amazing lineups. I wish I could go. Sigh! Maybe someday. Has anybody heard what John Martyn is up to these days? I know he is touring, but when is the new cd coming out? He is my all time favourite by far. Also like to know about Robert Wyatt. Guess I will try to find his website. Any replies would be greatly appeciated. I would like to make some U.K friends.

I saw a band I think it was on the Glade stage, it was certainly in the Glade area who played Afro beat and Dub.

They were on around 8pm on the Sunday and the lead singer and percussionist was an African guy in full tribal dress. His backing group was half African half West Indian with two white guys on the horns section.

I had a wonderful hour dancing to some absolutely wonderful African funk and Dub reggae, but had to rush off without ever finding out who they were. I think they may have been Soothsayers but would be extremely grateful if someone could confirm this.

Cheers

Ian
