Glastonbury lineup poster 2024

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

I don’t mind the line-up. 3-5 acts I want to see on each stage already but I like that and prefer not spending all day at one stage.  Hoping to still see some more big names announced - especially Pulp but Killers also have a Glastonbury shaped hole and still hoping they might do a Churnups style TBA.  Overall still plenty to get excited about, and looking forward to discovering some new stuff I don’t already know I like.

Idles tea-time slot in 2022 was busy, I can't imagine less people turning up?

Maybe aye. perplexed what they've done to go from third to headlining other in 2 years tho

Idles headlining other is the weakest of the whole lot tbh. Doubt they'll get a big crowd. Compared to last year having QOTSA and Lana 

Nope. That's Disclosure.

LCD headlining Other on Friday, Idles playing before them (and not clashing with Fontaines DC) would have made a lot more sense.

Or even Jamie XX headlining Other, if LCD really want a Pyramid appearance....

I agree, TBF on the LCD thing.

If the Killers played, it makes the festival for me as I missed 2019.

Maybe then it’s a good chance to wander the site and see what’s on the smaller stages at that time. The Avalon etc have still to drop their line ups. 

Yeah defo mate, I will find something. Buzzing for the week now 😁

Real Talk - Is SZA the weakest Sunday headliner in the last 2 decades? Think Moby in 2003 was the last time

It’s possible to be critical of the line up but also supportive of the festival. Let’s call a spade a spade, most agree it’s a weak line up. It may be the best they could get/afford from a headliner perspective (across all stages), and we all know Glasto is more than the music, but for me it’s the undercard that’s most underwhelming.

What acts would you like to have seen instead?

[ClementsMike]

If I'd got a ticket, Id be picking the bones of the stuff I'd be seeing, look forward to some exploring and make it a good weekend. But there are zero big hitters there for me, those that I'd see I have seen various times before.

As a non ticket holder, I'll not be bothering with the resale.

On reflection, thats good for the festival, turn over the attendees a bit, get some younger and fresher blood in there.

Dua and Coldplay bring excitement but SZA as a sunday headliner is very underwhelming. The full Sunday headliners are underwhelming actually.

Justice will be the biggest party on the farm.

Far better than Coldplay!!!

they've not had two years of duff line-ups before, or at such a high price. the days of a guaranteed top level line-up are gone.

Think you’re underestimating how much the Great British Public loves Dua Lipa and Coldplay. It won’t do Elton-level viewing figures for the BBC but it’ll be plenty healthy enough.

As far as Kpop acts go (I partially keep up with them), I'm not convinced that Seventeen are that big over here. They've not even had an album make the UK Top 100, which only takes about 2000 sales these days. 

On further inspection, they've had 8 albums/mini albums in the top 100 downloads chart.

[danbailey80]

For me was hoping for Stevie Nicks, Suede, Pulp, James and then perhaps a surprise like Bryan Adams or Sting for a massive singalong on the Pyramid. 

I don't have a problem with the headliners. It's the mid afternoon, sunset slots with mates that are massively lacking this year..

Gigging hard, keeping active with the music press / social media, new album, as well as being flipping good live.

I've always thought their trajectory was to headline Other, granted I wasn't expecting it this year....

You misspelled "excellent"

SZA, The National who can't sell out Crystal Palace. Will probably be at Justice.

last year they demonstrated they'd accept lower than a-list, so now they've got a lot more that's not a-list.

Last year's line up was cracking are you claiming otherwise?

I think the last punt like that might well have been Muse in 2004, given they'd only just had their first UK number one album.

Or Basement Jaxx as the promoted headliner in 2005 when Kylie had to withdraw, anyway, though that was different circumstances as that was not initially the plan.

In terms of likely crowd size, yes. She doesn’t have a single song your average person on the street would be able to name.
 

But in terms of prestige, booking SZA blows Kasabian, Mumfords and The Who out of the water, so it could be worse.

I think once the BBC/ British Music Hype machine gets to it she'll be more hyped then The Who.

No Pulp is perhaps the big surprise, given that they seemingly did everything else but Glastonbury that they'd have been considered for last year.

Unless the plan is for Glastonbury 2025 to be a special "last gig ever" type thing.

[ShuMart]

That don't impress me much....

sorry.

Hardly, she's so dull
