T-Dog Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Anyone going? Any artists that you'll be watching on iPlayer if you're not going? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c033r45930qo - Line up and set times are here. Quote Glastonbury Festival opens its gates on Wednesday, as 200,000 revellers descend on Worthy Farm for a weekend of music, comedy, poetry, dance and theatre. This year promises one of the most diverse line-ups in years, with the main stages exploring Afrobeats, Drum & Bass, Grime, Folk and Ballet among the usual diet of rock and pop. Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA headline the Pyramid Stage, with other highlights including Shania Twain, Jungle, Disclosure, Avril Lavigne, Fontaines DC, Peggy Gou, The National, Burna Boy, Janelle Monae, Jessie Ware and Charli XCX. The main stages open on Friday, but acts like Shygirl and MJ Cole will kick-start the party with sets in the smaller arenas on Thursday night. If you don't have a ticket, you can follow all the action on BBC television, radio, iPlayer and BBC Sounds - with more than 90 hours of live coverage over the weekend. To help you plan, here is the full line-up and set timings across Glastonbury's 10 biggest stages. Looks like there's some fantastic acts this year (and Peggy Gou aswell) - Sadly I won't be there but I will be binging as much footage as I can.

Davkaus Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) I'm feeling officially out of touch, even if past headliners haven't been my thing, and I don't know many/any songs, I've at least always *heard* of them. Dua Lipa? SZA? Not a **** clue. If you'd asked me about Dua Lipa I'd have guessed that it was a type of steamed dumpling. At least Coldplay are there so I feel down with the kids.

T-Dog Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 You didn't just go there with Coldplay my man There's some fantastic DJs lined up this year, Skream, Jamie XX, Romy, Nightmares on Wax to name a few. I can see the appeal of Dua Lipa, not my kind of music but I understand the booking. Idles, Bombay Bicycle Club, Confidence Man, Annie Mac, Disclosure, The Streets, Bloc Party, The National, Two Door Cinema Club all on the Other Stage, there's a lot to enjoy there. Jungle, Noname, Nitin Shawney, The Skatalites, Nia Archives and Steel Pulse on West Holts. Also looks like a secret gig on Saturday at Woodsies, unless there's a band called TBC playing. Could be a good one this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shania Twain must be the most awful legends slot since they started having one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll watch it when there’s nothing better to do but there’s literally not one act I’m enthused about seeing. It really does seem to have become an awful thing Dont get me wrong, I’m not a festival person. Camping can do one, Outdoor music is shit, blah blah blah but Glasto used to be the cream of all the lineups. There are loads of lineups much better than this now.

Not trying to change your mind, I understand where you're coming from, but honestly I think most of the joy is away from the main stages, that's been my experience, but I do understand what you're saying sir.

fightoffyour Posted June 26 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26 (edited) First one I haven't been to since I started going in 2009 And my faves The National finally headlining The Other stage. Hopefully be able to watch that on Sunday after the England defeat. Edited June 26 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 27 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27 Yes Glastonbury is not for me. Mid 2000's would have been ideal for me but music currently leaves me cold. Feels like it's in the dolldrums again, dominated by dance/pop/hippity hop bands. Doesn't help that I hate token rock band Coldplay as well. I get that there is interesting stuff away from the main stages but surely if you go to Glastonbury, especially if it's probably your only visit, you've got to see a couple of headliners you love on The Pyramid stage.
