Be easier to discover new music if they'd booked a few of this year's buzziest acts (Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Troye Sivan, etc) instead of Paloma Faith 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you’re genuinely excited about seeing Frank Turner for the 150th time or stopped listening to music sometime around the 2010s. I know there’s a tendency to have to be super positive but - The Zutons?! Paloma Faith? Avril Lavigne? Coldplay? It’s like an XFM compilation CD from my GCSE days. Pretty much just listed the ones I'm most looking forward to there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Its especially galling when you see smaller, one day festivals in and around the UK / Europe have much better line ups. Jai Paul is playing in a park near my house this summer, why isn’t he on The Woodsies or something? Out of likes, but yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianH Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Dua Lipa, Coldplay are good headliners. SZA so so. It's the subs that are the issue for me - 21 minutes ago, Supernintendo Chalmers said: Yeah, that's fair. A question to you and other regular attendees. Overall festival experience aside, does this full lineup make you reconsider committing to buying a ticket in October regardless of knowing who's on the lineup? Glastonbury is by far and away the best experience festival wise in the UK imo and its for this reason that I attend. However when it comes to the line up, I often feel other festivals are better. I think the issue this year is there is nobody particularly exciting - plenty I'd like to see but anybody I'd be devastated to miss? - I don't think there's anyone.

ilovelanegan Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 1 hour ago, Alvoram said: Oh I agree... 100% And I 'think' most Metallica fans I know agreed last year too. 🙂 Not sure about that - Download sold out both Metallica days easily (and their European 2-night-no-repeats tour was also a sellout afaik). I'm a pretty casual fan but we went to the Saturday show and it was EPIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lineup gets eked out over the course of months, after you’ve paid the full fee. It’s not the headliners I’m bothered about anyway. At any rate, I’m glad I’m going and obviously I’m going to have an amazing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 As I won’t know my Oxfam shifts until I arrive I’ll have wait to see what I’m likely to be able to get to or not. So no point stressing about clashes yet! Hopefully will be able to see some favourites - just glad to be going back to the farm after missing out last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that I’m really happy generally. Stoked about some good disco alternatives to the normal late night stuff. interesting. Who are you referring to here please?

Beerqueen Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 (edited) Not sure what happened but I managed to post a duplicate post. So what stages aren't listed yet? I've seen some mentioned like Small World, Rimski's Yard - what others? I seem to remember the Bimble Inn having great acts in the past too but don't recognise much there so will have to have a listen. The first year I went in 2014 I really liked a band there called Will and the People who I still follow on social media but have only managed to see again once as they're based way down south and rarely venture up to the Midlands. Then in 2016 I came across Man and the Echo in Left Field and I absolutely love them and have seen them loads since. Would love to find someone new that I like as much as these two. Off to have a listen now. Edited June 4 by Beerqueen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First poster: 14th March 2024 Refund deadline: 3rd May 2024 Seems fair enough to me. Anyone that's not happy with it could have cancelled and gone somewhere else. Personally, I think it's a lovely line up apart from the Pyramid but I can cope without going there for one festival. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
