Yeah, I can safely say I won't be making the trek to the stage this year. Plenty for the older folk there though.

Grr! Suzanne Vega on at the same time as the Pet Shop Boys 😞

[moogster]

Laura Veirs! Although I've seen her many times unless there is something really unmissable at that time I'll be there!

[billum]

First poster with what looks like the actual days and running order!

[gigpusher]

A good solid line up but no major surprises probably because the big names have all self confirmed.

Waterboys clash with Paul is a shame. It's all very well saying they finish before Pyramid by the time you get there you'll prob get 20 mins more of Paul. 

Someone's got to play then though and nearly everything on at the acoustic would have same fans as Paul.

I've only ever really seen two acts here I think, in my nine years. Nothing really for me this year, although I could be tempted by some mariachi fun if they don't clash. 

Always a good excuse to get to the ale bar as well 😃. 

[Divein]

Megan McKenna is a weird one.

[nikkic]

Nope, still not old enough

[JoeyT]

Where do I queue to complain about the clashing of Paul Heaton & Jaqui Abbott, Foals and Little Simz?

Could cry.

[Stretlow]

Bringing my mum and my kids for the first time this year.

Eldest daughter is massive Eilish fan

Mum is massive beautiful south fan

i have my first problem

[Fish Bulb]

Ok team, I REALLY want to see Paul Heaton - will I have to get there early or will the pull of the main stage headliners mean that's not such a stress? Thanks! 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If the timings work out I'd skip Noel G to go see Richard Thompson

I think you should be good. I really wish they had a lower down slot on a bigger stage.

I'd go with Billie Eilish in this situation. Could be a Glasto/life moment she talks about her whole life. 

[blue6field]

Saw Suzanne Vega headline there in 2011, she was amazing! Not missing the PSB’s this year though!

[rubick]

Can someone enlighten me as to who or what 'Novelty Island' is - I really, really hope it's Reeves & Mortimer having a daft laugh and that.

Thanks. And agreed - guess there's a chance they'll play twice? Looking at 2019 timings the headliner for acoustic seemed to clash with the sub elsewhere - so could still sneak off after and catch a headliner elsewhere potentially - has anyone done this?

I don't think I've even been to the Acoustic Stage before, and always like going somewhere new at Glasto.

Show your Mum where the acoustic stage is, go with daughter to the Pyramid. Think that would be your best bet.

As you REALLY want to see him, I would suggest getting there during the Undertones just to be sure (especially if it doesn't mean you miss someone else you want to see).  That's what I did for Art Garfunkel, and was about 5 rows from the front.  Magical.

Thanks, I shall do that 😊

Haven’t settled on a Friday headliner yet, could be very tempted to see Paul @ Jacqui

Last time they played they did a couple of songs in BBC Introducing. Paul Heaton I think is criminally underrated as a songwriter. Think them as Pyramid or even Other Stage opener would be a party but I have seen them many times and at headliner time it gets trickier.
