It will be interesting because there's clearly a big divide, where you have a huge crowd of people going for those headliners and then you have the more traditional PS crowd who will go for the undercard.  Even in work a couple of my colleagues who are alternative music fans were raving to me about all the smaller names and will be going to the festival for the first time and some of the girls who had probably never heard of the festival were amazed by the headliners and will also be attending. LCD vs Central Cee could go either way in terms of crowd size.   I now think the lineup has been very cleverly assembled and if they're able to, they will try to keep following this model of huge pop headliners which fund the (to me) more interesting bookings. I've said this before but I always have a better time at the other stages so the more I think about it, the better this lineup will be in practice.

Thanks to the guys who shared the headliners early (I think @RedJosh & @Judas Yeast?) - myself and my wife decided to get early bird and are both really happy with the announcement. Really pleased, thank you!

Chasing cars?

whenever i speak to people about going, and i get the inevitable question of "how do you get tickets every year" my answer is always the same, and always cheezy as hell.   but i really, truly believe it - if you genuinely, deep in your heart, 100% sincerely want to be there, then the Glastonbury god will smile upon you.   its the only explanation i have for the fact that we have gotten tickets every year.   its also the reason that it properly makes me laugh at 9.15 every sale day when people start crying about how its not fair - if you think you have time to bitch on twitter (or whatever) then really, you ain't putting the effort in.   this year i'll just have one browser, one screen and see what happens.   all good either way.   looking forward to all the crying after the sale when all these people realise that having a lottery did not automatically grant them a ticket, which is what they all seem to think will happen.
