Thank god the headliners are pretty shitty, means i've got nothing stopping me seeing the great bands that will headline the park and john peel stage

[crashnburn]

.... but it will be the best gig of their lives.

again sounds very contrary but theres been a few times when i've gone to see a band headlining the main stage for fear of missing a glastonbury occassion and missed out on some interesting things else where instead.

i feel free to explore , and i have complete faith that emily and michael will have some great bands headlining the other stages.

95% of the line up still to be revealed,

Beat it willya chief? Youre a total waste of time.

I think we should all ignore this thread today. There is a lot of money at stake for there to be no negativity for just one day

So Crashnburn - please lighten up

[lovelessrapture]

I don't think it's really negative, he's saying it's good that you don't like all the headliners as then you can go exploring.

And my friend whom I'm going with whom normally loves the more mainstream stuff was saying how glad he was that he only likes 1 of the 3 headliners as then it'll be nice to go on a walk about and find something different

How anyone can have a 221 character long title on a forum is just beyond me. Madness.

[pezzypops]

yeah, i normally steer well clear of the pyramid headliners and see something at the park or john peel stages, but this year i'll be plonked firmly front and centre at the pyramid all three nights.

[bombfrog]

I completely agree with it. I'm going to be spending more time this year exploring and seeing bands on smaller stages. Trying to look at it positively

Sorry to be contoversial, but I really want to see all 3 headliners

This has never happened before, usually I'm not bothered about ANY of them, occasionally there's been one I wanted to see. My problem is that I don't like to be tied down to anything and I don't like spending much time at the Pyramid stage, either.

Already I have potential clashes. If Spearhead headline one of the other stages (probably Jazzworld) then I have to choose between them and Neil Young. I've seen Spearhead once before and Michael Franti is one of the most charismatic and inspirational performers I have ever seen. But, I was brought up on Neil Young - my mum first played me Harvest when I was tiny and I have loved him ever since. I've never seen him live and I couldn't believe my luck when he was announced!

I've always wanted to see Springstein and Blur, but I know something's got to give - I won't know until the day what I'll do, but I WILL be disappointed to miss something somewhere (I'd also love to see the Doves (missed them in '05 due to "flood stress" and I still regret it) but again, more problems).

And that's just what we know about...oh! there'll be so much more!!!!

I know I shouldn't stress about it before the line up is even announced but I'm just trying to make a point

Those of you who don't want to see any of the Headliners - THINK YOURSELVES LUCKY!! You will be free to wander around, see where you end up and probably have the best time you've ever had

[lovelessrapture]

Why anyone would count characters of forumtopics could be beyond you as well?

I recommend Animal Colective as a headliner. Really special, intens and a great startup for a night on the 'town'.

[Chickenburger]

i really cant understand what all the fuss is over animal collective? ive listened to the albums, watched them on youtube and just dont get it.

that said panda bears last solo album was pretty cool and their were a few decent tunes on the latest AC as well so maybe ill give them another chance at glasto

Want to see Doves in John Peel on Friday, Blur at the Pyramid on Sunday so praying Animal Collective do the Park on Saturday. Three different venues, three great headliners.
