Even the Kylie cover in 2005 low-key went off. I’m sure they’re cooking up something good. Agreed. They won't just phone it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass II Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Can't believe I have to caveat my previous post but IN MY OPINION it's not looking like a stellar year, both in terms of the proposed trio NOT BEING TO MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE and also looking at who else is out there at other festivals and big gigs there seems to be a dearth of acts on the circuit this year THAT SATISFY MY TASTES. I can't see much in the way of curveballs out there to get too excited about. AND YES I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST HEADLINERS, PLENTY OF STAGES, ETC TO FOCUS ON Just so everyone is aware the above is just an opinion and not stated as fact. Thank you and God bless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1986 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I think people were saying the same thing last year that there is no one about and festivals were looking weak. Can't be the case every year surely? (Don't call me Shirley). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After nearly getting Taylor, Macca, Kendrick, Lana Del Rey, DiRo, Dua Lipa, PSB, and Aerosmith all in the same year (and plenty more cracking names beyond that) - from now everything is going to look weak.

Yes...I get this I'm not suggesting that. 🙈 I mean in terms of the mindset. I don't understand it. If you want to see a particular person on a lineup, just book tickets to see them. Also, there's a big difference between having an opinion and just actively being negative and putting a repetitive dampener. I think we all know the difference. You're fine and dandy ✨️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 If Mumford & Sons and Jessie J aren't on the lineup I for one shall be returning my ticket to the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I mentioned more than 3 names right? If you genuinely look at that 2020 poster and think "that's not very strong" then fair enough. But I can safely say you'd be in a tiny minority.

Franky Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 The last year I got genuinely excited by the lineup was 2014 and then my boy happened 🤦♂️ (see signature) Personally and IMHO 😉 I don’t give a flying f**k who’s playing, despite my berating of aged rock groups who are 30 years (some closer to 50 years) past their best being booked. I go for the atmosphere and love, yeah puke if you want at my cheesy sentiment. First thing I do when I’m through the gates is get out of everyone’s way and then run my fingers through the grass (Gladiator style) before starting the slog to chosen camping field. if you can’t find something to entertain you at any given time at Glastonbury then you’ve wasted a ticket and should be banned from purchasing one ever again. All of course IMHO 😉 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
