Is this the weakest line up ever for Glastonbury?

Wowser - didnt know they were still going. Not seen them since the 70's either. Should be an adventure   in Kent

Saw them at Coventry in 95, which seems like yesterday.

Double billed with Gong, the only differences were Daevid Allen out front and the style of music.

Much awesomeness.

[fleabag]

Daevid Allen from Gong is out front ?   There's another flying teapot i didnt know

Cool, whereabouts?

Not the Pyramid stage, unfortunately! Playing the Shangri-La Truth stage on Thursday night, Avalon stage on Friday afternoon and a back stage bar gig on Sunday night.

Are you going?

Great stuff. Yeah, I'm at the Rocket Lounge all week which I think is a big restaurant or diner or food court. I'm in a kind of house band role there, I think we open the first night and close the last, but the other set times move around the evening.

Cool, I'll look out for the Rocket Lounge!

It looks pretty dismal. 

[jazzmanb]

Haven't read list but its fair to say the bands who do these places justice are diminishing ,just how it is 

[Raslee]

Apparently you have to pay to get in these days...Eavis tops Trump on building the Wal(l) 😂

[Barking Spiders]

just to refresh, here's the list

[Cuzzie]

No Snow patrol - it’s now the Charlatans 

That line up really is not bad, you may not have that 1 global jaw dropping act, but across each line there are some teal good artists 

[BreadBin]

I'd happily see at least 16 of those, and there's far more to see than the ones on the poster.

[steantval]

There is not one act on that poster I would genuinely go down the local pub to see for free.

Now I’m really showing my age.

This is what I would call a line up.

My favourite Glasto memories are all the nice surprises I've happened upon on the Jazz, Avalon and Park stages anyway.

I’m 55 and there are several artists at Glastonbury I’m rather looking forward to. Most of the bands at that link seem to be rock bands. Which is fine, but I’d sooner see a broader spectrum at a festival, personally. 

[wateroftyne]

I note Sam Fender is near the bottom for probably the last time*

A good few bands on there I’d be more than happy to see down my local pub for free. The Darkness, Airbourne, Black Stone Cherry, looks a good festival.

[Cuzzie]

Well I am enjoying watching Sheryl Crow who is and always has been gorgeous and a great artist.

Yep, watching Sheryl too; she can still sing and play. Great band too.

[Cuzzie]

It’s quality - good man!!

I saw Sheryl last Sunday at Wembley while she was the support act for The Eagles. She was excellent. Although she played to a half empty stadium while everyone was in the bar.

Sounding good and keeping it British!

He is the only good thing though, they are appalling otherwise. And he is hardly putting on a ‘show’. If that’s what it takes to make the big stage these days..........
