Me too for the most part.

I'm slightly disappointed though. Not that I didn't want New Order to headline - I'm going to charge to the front to see them - but I 'knew' it was going to be them and was hoping that when I woke up this morning, it'd be somebody more extraordinary. Giving me New Order is like giving me an obviously wrapped present I'd asked for at Christmas and not doing anything to disguise it; and then expecting to me be overwhelmed by it when I finally get my hands on it.

I saw New Order at their one off UK show in December and they were really good (the reviews were decent too from what I saw). As one bloke said to me at the bar, they're much better now "because they've all bothered to learn how to play their instruments". Good setlist too (check out the encore!):

The main headliners are on around 12/1 then you have a couple of dance acts till about 4/5/6. Like last year, Groove Armada headlined the Friday and Boys Noize did a set afterwards. Primal Scream headlined then LFO did a set, and DJ Shadow did Sunday with Fatboy Slim on afterwards.

Just gives you a chance to party longer, which is really awesome.

Really shit headliner imo. Not about personal opinion, just not deserving.

Seem lke the longer you split fo nowadays, you seem to come back with a higher staus than you were before. I reckon these were booked quite early, before the academy gigs.

Rest of the lineup is good though, justice, xx and sigur ros all deserving of the positions, even thou im really only a fan of justice.

Maybe the moneys getting saved on the hope of getting prince a couple of weeks before the festival, and florence and the machine is the backup if he falls through? Im sure she wouldnt mind second headling to prince.

And when I saw them at Reading in 93, they headlined the main stage.

As they did in '89 (I think it was) ... absolutely mind-blowing. :D

I hadn't realised they'd been back to headline quite so soon again afterwards, and I'm rather surprised that they did. In that '89 performance Barney spent a fair amount of time slagging off the crowd with comments like "all of you stood there in black, don't you dance?" :lol:

Indeed. That's what I realised after posting that, it's the Englishman inside me, I can't help but moan about everything, I swear! Good for T, that tent will be crazy.

Any idea who'll be on the same time as New Order? Can someone give me some New Order songs to listen to? My hype has worn down a bit, we need some more bands. Daft punk.
