SuperMikey Posted 6 October, 2009 Posted 6 October, 2009 Woot! William Hill have put out their odds on who will headline the festival on Sunday, the favourites are The Rolling Stones at 4/1, with Coldplay and David Bowie at 8/1. Personally, i'd love to see David Bowie, hope that he plays. My personal preference for headliners this year would be Radiohead, REM and David Bowie, that would be insane! (Here's the article with the odds on btw, in case anyone wants to put a bet on) http://www.williamhillmedia.com/index_template.asp?file=13229
swannymere Posted 6 October, 2009 Author Posted 6 October, 2009 Saw Mr.Bowie last time he played there and was brilliant. I'd like to see Stevie Wonder, Radiohead and Led Zeppelin headline.
ecuk268 Posted 7 October, 2009 Posted 7 October, 2009 Saw Mr.Bowie last time he played there and was brilliant. I'd like to see Stevie Wonder, Radiohead and Led Zeppelin headline. Robert Plant was on a footy programme at the weekend. He's a big Wolves fan. His rock 'n roll lifestyle has taken it's toll - he looks about 95.
Marsdinho Posted 8 October, 2009 Posted 8 October, 2009 Robert Plant was on a footy programme at the weekend. He's a big Wolves fan. His rock 'n roll lifestyle has taken it's toll - he looks about 95. Was having a beer in the "Le Tissier's Feet" pre the Wolves FA Cup game in 2003. Unfortuntely, their yoof also made an appearance and everyone cleared the pub...
Junction 9 Posted 13 October, 2009 Posted 13 October, 2009 I'm not fussed who plays really, just glad to be there again. Won't be one the year after so make the most of it folks.
Ponty Posted 13 October, 2009 Posted 13 October, 2009 I'm not fussed who plays really, just glad to be there again. Won't be one the year after so make the most of it folks. Andy Williams? :cool:
RonManager Posted 13 October, 2009 Posted 13 October, 2009 Andy Williams? :cool: He'll come on as a sub and sing a brilliant song in the very last minute of the Festival !
The Saturday Boy Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 U2 confirmed as the Friday night headline act.
Hatch Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 It will be someone left of centre.... Robbie Williams
SuperMikey Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 U2 confirmed as the Friday night headline act. Oh christ, I can't stand U2. Better have some good alternatives lined up Eavo!
SuperMikey Posted 1 February, 2010 Posted 1 February, 2010 Jack Johnson confirmed today as playing on the Sunday, no stage confirmed as of yet. I think he would be brilliant, just as the sun is going down on the festival just after the veteran's slot on Pyramid or headlining the Park stage imo. Oh, and also buy one of these: http://mnkyvision.co.uk/artwork/1045570_Beleavis.html Quality poster!
swannymere Posted 3 February, 2010 Author Posted 3 February, 2010 I can remember when Glastonphant was good. Still is, you just need to know were to look! Glasto Organisers have confirmed Muse for Saturday night and admit Stevie Wonder is on their 'dream list' for Sunday - Ferkin' Ace (this is according to the BBC Radio 1 news, so i'm guessing at what they actually said because the newsreaders speak like yoofs!)
IamLeGod Posted 4 February, 2010 Posted 4 February, 2010 Saw Mr.Bowie last time he played there and was brilliant. I'd like to see Stevie Wonder, Radiohead and Led Zeppelin headline. Looks like Mr Wonder may happen, I personally think it has the potential to be brilliant: http://www.mtv.co.uk/events/glastonbury-festival-0/news/176418-muse-stevie-wonder-lined-up-for-glasto I'm not fussed who plays really, just glad to be there again. Won't be one the year after so make the most of it folks. Looks like they are doing Glasto '11: http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/

I'm not sure what their policy is on dropping a year now. They didn't have one in 20001 or 2006 so I assumed 2011 would be the same. Maybe the farm recovers enough for them not to bother, either that or the money!
swannymere Posted 11 February, 2010 Author Posted 11 February, 2010 Glastonbury have brought forward the 2012 Glastonbury to what would have been the off year of 2011 due to the Olympics. Apparently most of the equipment Glastonbury hires in is needed for the Olympics not to mention the hired in security bobs. Well that's what we've been told for the last 2 or 3 years.
IamLeGod Posted 28 February, 2010 Posted 28 February, 2010 So has anyone actually got a ticket? Paid mine up the other week, absolutely buzzing to get back there!!!
SuperMikey Posted 28 February, 2010 Posted 28 February, 2010 Yep, paid mine up a few weeks ago. Faithless self-confirmed today and said that they're playing Sunday. Can't wait for that, they will surely be one of the festival highlights.
IamLeGod Posted 28 February, 2010 Posted 28 February, 2010 Saw your post on the What are you listening to thread, hope its true, as I said on the other thread they were unreal when I saw them last year, as Im sure it will be if you are correct (which I really do hope you are)
SuperMikey Posted 28 February, 2010 Posted 28 February, 2010 Supposedly they announced it onstage yesterday, so I guess that they're playing! http://www.glastowatch.co.uk/2010/faithless-self-confirm-for-glastonbury/
IamLeGod Posted 28 February, 2010 Posted 28 February, 2010 Ah yes i just found glasto-watch, i hope the eventual line up resembles this one! Hot Chip, Squeeze and The Chemical Brothers would all be immense!
SuperMikey Posted 7 April, 2010 Posted 7 April, 2010 New announcement today! http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/news/west-holts-stage-and-line-up-announced West Holts (aka JazzWorld) lineup announced, looks quite good to me! Mos Def, Devendra Banhart, George Clinton, The Bees, Tunng... I've never actually watched a band at the JazzWorld stage, but I could be spending a lot of time there this year!
Rory Posted 7 April, 2010 Posted 7 April, 2010 Cool, I saw Jimmy Cliff headline Jazz World a couple of years back. That stage is awesome. Lupe Fiasco was before him as well.
IamLeGod Posted 7 April, 2010 Posted 7 April, 2010 Pretty gutted if i'm honest. The Jazz world was one of my favourite stages. Fun Lovin' Criminals & Eddie Grant were some of my highlights in '08. It is a cracking little area with a great feel and atmosphere, hope it manages to maintain this.
dubai_phil Posted 7 April, 2010 Posted 7 April, 2010 Into the unknown of the late resale at the weekend after my permanent registration forgot to tell me the tickets were on sale late last year. But also have a hlaf hope that a mate of mine will be sub-contracting a lot of the stage work. If so he knows he owes me big time for his RWC final ticket in 03. fingers crossed. Will be weird seeing Muse there. Had an onstage photographers pass for them here 2 years ago and they had no more than 5,000 people watching they were awesome, with a mega crowd should be special. And yes Eddie Grant was superb.

They weren't at Glasto two years ago and headlined it in 2004 in front of tens of thousands of people.

(Here's the article with the odds on btw, in case anyone wants to put a bet on) http://www.williamhillmedia.com/index_template.asp?file=13229 I've seen all three in Glasto past...... I'd like Led, that would rock.
IamLeGod Posted 8 April, 2010 Posted 8 April, 2010 I've seen all three in Glasto past...... I'd like Led, that would rock. Unlikely Led will be there, cant see them not headlining, and seeing as the headliners have been announced (U2, Muse and Stevie Wonder) seems unlikely.
SuperMikey Posted 9 April, 2010 Posted 9 April, 2010 Meant to post this a while ago. Courtesy of the members of eFestivals.co.uk, I bring you a Spotify playlist comprised of acts who are confirmed or TBC for this year's festival. Some cracking songs on there, and i'll certainly be going to see a few artists that I wouldn't have gone to see before after listening to them on this. Oh, and it updates when a new act is confirmed, so you're always getting new stuff on there. Cracking. Efestivals Glastonbury 2010

Not sure about the strength of the validity some of these additions are, though saying that I'm hoping on hope of all hopes that the Pixies do make an appearance.

Well, it's been going for a while, so a lot of the stuff on there was based on hearsay and rumours, but the stuff that's being added recently is all from bands who are playing or very likely to play.

Although the music isn't to everyone's taste, for me Jazz world is the nicest area of the festival to spend some time. Sitting in the sun under the flags having a beer. It's also the best bar as well.
swannymere Posted 14 April, 2010 Author Posted 14 April, 2010 Full Glastonbury line-up, looks pretty bloody amazing to me! Got to be the best festival line-up this summer and the best Glasto lineup in a few years http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/apr/14/glastonbury-2010-full-lineup

Got to be the best festival line-up this summer and the best Glasto lineup in a few years http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/apr/14/glastonbury-2010-full-lineup Unreal. The Pyramid Stage has to be the worst line-up ever but the Other Stage JP Stage look amazing.
SuperMikey Posted 14 April, 2010 Posted 14 April, 2010 Words can literally not express how happy I am that Dan Mangan is playing! I've been waiting to see him for ages, and now I get to see him at the best festival in the world... I wonder if this is because I tweeted Emily Eavis asking her to book him? :confused: The lineup is looking pretty damn good, i've got some serious clashes going on already and there's still loads of bands to be announced...eek!
swannymere Posted 14 April, 2010 Author Posted 14 April, 2010 Unreal. The Pyramid Stage has to be the worst line-up ever but the Other Stage JP Stage look amazing. REALLY? U2, Muse and Stevie Wonder what more could you want? The Other stage and the JP stage and even the bloody Dance tent look great as well.
SuperMikey Posted 18 April, 2010 Posted 18 April, 2010 Who's sorted out who they want to watch then? I'm not going to stick to this list religiously, but I do really want to see most of the bands on here, so you'll find me at.. FRIDAY The Magic Numbers - Other Stage The Stranglers - Other Stage The Gaslight Anthem - Other Stage Bombay Bicycle Club - John Peel Stage Phoenix - Other Stage Vampire Weekend - Pyramid Stage Mumford and Sons - John Peel Stage Hot Chip - Other Stage Fatboy Slim - Dance East SATURDAY Two Door Cinema Club - Other Stage Reef - Other Stage The Wurzels - Avalon Stage Devendra Banhart - West Holts (JazzWorld) Seasick Steve - Pyramid Stage The Cribs - Other Stage Editors - Other Stage Jamie T - John Peel Stage SUNDAY Dan Mangan - John Peel Stage Frightened Rabbit - Other Stage Tunng - West Holts (JazzWorld) Temper Trap - Other Stage Jack Johnson - Pyramid Stage Faithless - Pyramid Stage Rodrigo y Gabriela - West Holts (JazzWorld) With a little bit of help from: http://www.clashfindergeneral.co.uk/s/g2010/ with regards to timing etc.
Calvin Posted 18 April, 2010 Posted 18 April, 2010 Quite an awesome line up. I'm a fan of Snoop Doggs older stuff. Would love to see Faithless one day

SuperMikey Posted 18 April, 2010 Posted 18 April, 2010 I hope you're taking into account it takes roughly 20-30 mins to walk between the stages, more the later it is? Yeah, i'll be mostly switching between Other and John Peel, that takes about 20 minutes if busy, 10 if not. Don't mind missing parts of some sets!

Don't mind missing parts of some sets! Ok, people who go for the first time think its a 5 min. stroll between the stages! Are you just going to watch bands the whole time?
swannymere Posted 20 April, 2010 Author Posted 20 April, 2010 Shakira has been added to the Pyramid stage on Saturday :confused: http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/news/shakira-added-to-2010-line-up
IamLeGod Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 Shakira has been added to the Pyramid stage on Saturday :confused: http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/news/shakira-added-to-2010-line-up There have been rumours kicking around about this, so its unsurprising. Also rumours that Hot Chip are keen to do a duet with her, could be interesting. I caught Hot Chip in '08 and Wiley came out and did Rolex Sweep with them, was quite a fun little duo so why not?

You HAVE to see at least one of the headliners on the Pyramid, its such a special atmosphere. Don't get me wrong I do like Jamie T, but this is Muse headlining Glasto - this will be one you want to say you were at, as well as Stevie. Besides Jamie T tours every few months you can see him more or less whenever
Spudders Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 I was more surprised he wanted to see the Wurzels!!!!!
Spudders Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 What are Bombay Bicycle Club? The guy I'm going with was on about them, but I've never heard of them (I'm not down with the kids any more ) Sorry could have put that in the same post as above.
