That Glasto line-up in full...
The full line-up for this year’s Glastonbury festival has been officially announced.
Headlining the Pyramid Stage will be Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and The Who, with Bjork, Iggy & The Stooges and The Chemical Brothers doing their darndest to rock the pants off the Other Stage. Hot Chip, The Twang and The Gossip head up the John Peel Stage.
Other picks in a rum old line-up include a new rave double whammy in CSS and Klaxons on the Other Stage on Saturday, Annuals on the John Peel Stage on Friday, Beirut on the Jazz World Stage on Sunday, and trying to see if Amy Winehouse is visibly drunker on the Jazz World Stage on Friday than she is on the Main Stage earlier in the afternoon.
Friday’s Other Stage boasts some fine highlights, with The Cribs, Modest Mouse and Bright Eyes all putting in appearances, and Rufus Wainwright, Arcade Fire and Bjork providing blessed relief from the lad-rock triptych of The Fratellis, Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys over on the Pyramid Stage.
But then, I suppose some people like that sort of thing.

Share on FacebookThe sunday looks like a v festival lineup
but worse! in fact this probably would be v if it was a 3 day event (Except the friday on the other stage maybe)
looks pretty
shit.
going to be an amazing festivals however
TOO MUCH CLASHING
Friday night: Bjork, Squarepusher and Jim Bob Carter all on at the same time as Ned's Atomic Dustbin.
GO AND WATCH...
holy fuck
they are freaking ace...
"new rave"
why is it that no-one else seems to have noticed that these so-called "new rave" bands sound about as ravey as a hairdryer?
i mean
i like CSS, but there's no rave in there at all.
We
ak
That line up is seriously poor.
so?
what kind of doofus goes to a festival to watch loads of bands?
Makes me glad...
...I'm off to the Dad Rock festival at Hyde Park instead.
and four tet
is he playing some other time?
also
the bootleg beatles are clashing with the who. how silly!!
Tosh
This is my first glastonbury festival... and it looks SHIT! why the fuck are get cape wear cape fly playing about 6 times over the course of the weekend! im just gonna have take a walkman and listen to some good music all weekend. FACT
Stunned.
That is the worst lineup I've ever ever ever seen. It can fuck right off.
People should look at the lineup across all the stages
...20-odd of them. If you can't find loads of stuff you want to see in all that, and have fun with a combination of watching a selection of things you like and also doing non-music stuff, you shouldn't be going to festivals. And definitely not this one.
I mean, come on. They have THOUSANDS of acts on but I bet if James Blunt had been on the bill, that would have been all that half of you would have talked about.
Innit...brilliant line-up according to guardian...
but what made me wet was...Squarepusher and Noisa... thats enough for me.
the main stages are generally dogXballs, the smaller stages are where its at for me...but what made me most wet was just finding out that sqaurepusher and Noisia are both playing!!!
This sort of post...
...happens every year. It will happen next year as well. And the year after. And the next year after that. Can you see a pattern emerging yet?

Agreed.
There was a thread about this earlier in the week.
The main stages are always a bit gay. But there's a gazillion more acts than any other festival that aren't listed on here.
If you want to hang around the main stage all day then go to Leeds/Reading you thugs.

Adam F, Shitmat, !!!,
Biffy Clyro ...but still, noisia and squarepusher!
Agreed...
...there is some good stuff.
But it still doesn't excuse the fact that the good:shit ratio is still about 1:100.
.
Looks pretty straight forward to me:
1) Watch the Pipettes
2) Destroy your mind/body with drugs/alcohol
3) End of festival
Why are The View on twice?
Actually, why are they on once?
And who thought it was a good idea to place Goldfrapp with the corruptable National Youth Orchestra?
coolio
don't take this line-up as face value, apart from the other stage on friday, doubt i'm gonna be around the main stages much at all...
It's not a weak lineup
There's plenty of great stuff. You just have to go beyond the Pyramid and Other stages to see it.
How about Pendulum, Vitalic, Dragonette and Phil Hartnoll presents Long Range in the Dance Tents on Sunday? Or the new Park Stage, which has Los Campesinos, Kate Nash, Shlomo and MIA on the Friday? Also very excited about Bondo de Role, The Go! Team, Lethal Bizzle, and Gogol Bordello. And that's just the more obscure stuff on my list of must-sees.
I think those that are saying it's a shit line-up are just jealous cos they couldn't get a ticket!
There is bound to be some sh!t
All you have to do is hope that they arrange the good stuff such that it doesn't all clash, such as Bjork-Hot Chip (Grrr!). Most of the bands that people on this site would be interested in won't be on either of the two main stages, so it's just stupid going "it's all sh!t" looking at the line up listed. Look around a bit and there are some great trhings like !!! playing twice.
Although I would add that
this is the weakest John Peel Stage in the years I've been going to Glastonbury. Perhaps it's because of the new stages, perhaps because of the two year gap, but a lot of acts you would expect to see on the new bands stage are elsewhere in the lineup. Do The View and Guillemots really deserve Pyramid Stage status?
What about Bright eyes?
How does that little prick deserve a main stage slot after his arseholeish performance last time round? I'm surprised they let him back.
that
bjork - four tet - squarepusher clash on the friday is nasty...
the other stages
have some brilliant stuff on. Beirut on sunday will be nice.
im clearing my afternoon for Chumbawumba acoustic set on Friday though!
because
you know, sometimes people do stupid things, and make mistakes etc, and you give them a second chance.
But
surely you don't reward acting like a wanker with promotion?
simply...
guillemots do, yes. they're only on at half one anyways..
go see the neds
theyre still fucking ace live.
Some of you really do have to...
...get real here. The 'BIGGEST' bands go on the main stage, the less popular ones don't. If you were Eaves, would you not do it this way, you reckon? Say, let's have The Pipettes headlining the main stage and Arctic Monkeys headling the Other stage? That would make sense....not.
...
well they do have Kasabian on too...
Agreed
I'm struggling to understand how any music fan could not find something to have a good time to amongst a line up of this size.
....
HAHAHAHA!!
I bet you feel pretty stupid if you've got a ticket for that barrel of old shite! Christ thats the worst line up Glastonbury has had in years!!!!
i'm not sure why people are surprised
or disappointed. all of these bands have been on the 'strongly rumoured' list for ages. regardless of good bands/bad bands, it's still going to be an ace weekend.
How the fuck
did the Coral manage to get placed above Bright Eyes?
Looks pretty shite apart from Friday on the Other stage.
the kooks and the killers...
above paul weller??
oh very dear.
aren't beirut and the new pornographers playing too?
that'd be nice.
this will be niecs
Bjork
Arcade Fire
Rufus Wainwright
The Coral (go to bar here)
Super Furry Animals
Bright Eyes
The Automatic
Modest Mouse
The Cribs
Reverend And The Makers (hmm maybe)
Mr Hudson And The Library
I think it looks pretty smart
didnt go for a ticket this year (attempting to learn how to drive...& went for connect due to coinciding with a mate, having bjork jamc confirmed), but I'd be dead happy with that lineup
the other stage, new park stage and dance tents all have some ace stuff on, and the Goldfrapp/national youth orchestra has to be mental.
there does seem to be a trend of awarding/putting on incongruously meat and potatoes bands wherever a stage or prize is named after peel... Others "innovation award" and Twang headlining... strange
And some people had
the cheek to say that the Leeds festival line-up was shit.
By the looks of things Leeds > GLastonbury this year.
the fratelli's
are above bloc party too, which is... odd
Compared to 2003...
where the line-up was apparently brilliant, you really have to look hard to find the decent acts this year.
but, yes, they are there. somewhere, amongst the drivel, there are some amazing acts to see. still worth going.
Terrible
Probably the worst Glasto line up in history. Fact.
serious now.
what have the twang done deserve a headline slot? fuck all.
Super Furry Animals
The Super Furry Animals should really have been given a higher slot than that, they've been around longer than any of the other acts on that stage except for bjork and could teach them a thing or two about what good music is.
some of you lot
Would only be pleased if the world's two most obscure and unlistenable indie bands plus the Smiths were the headliners. THEN it would be the worst line up ever.
The line-up at G matters less
than any other festival.
You dont have to watch a single band and you'll still love it.
The Park stage on Fri for Aliens then Spiritualized with 'shrooms supporting will do me...
Poor Peelie :(
He'll be turning in his grave to hear those twunts The Twang are headlining on his stage. A travesty no less
A tip for anyone going: go and see Holy Fuck. You will thank me
I can see a batman
emerging.
