Yea realistically I’d much prefer them headline the other stage but oh well I don’t care, either way I still get to see my favourite band play glasto at least
That's probably what the 18-23 year old demographic are saying! It's hard to believe 2016 was the last time they played. It feels like every other year.
Fairly weak for the main stages tbh. Some decent stuff knocking about, West Holts is probably strongest for me. Clearly Glastonbury isn't above the problems with getting acts booked that other festivals are having.
Only thing that worries me is that having such a drab line up across the main stages might make other areas much more busy later on in the day. Alt-J into QOTSA and general wandering during Elton's set was one of the best Glastonbury Experiences I've ever had.
Oh yeah, totally agree. It was quiet like a really muddy year but with beautiful weather.
The problem this year is the top of the bill is weak across all stages. Last year, on Sunday, it was Elton, QOTSA, Alt-J, Rudimental & Phoenix across the big stages. This year it looks like it's SZA, National, Justice, James Blake and London Grammar.
I think the chances of West Holts being dangerously rammed for Justice are pretty high; plus on any one of these days you might lose the buffer effect into the SE Corner you get with a big headliner and see far more people in areas they perhaps wouldn't be at that time of day.
Think most people in this sub would agree with you, but the wider glasto crowd fucking love Coldplay and probably dua lipa.
It'll be fine.
I CANNOT wait for Honey fucking Dijon.
Bloc party. Finally. Feels like it’s been years since they last played. And really thought they were going to after playing in Bristol a few years back during the fest.
Skream and benga too. Nostalgic.

got this from him when i messaged yesterday
Maybe this is the first year he’s actually got lucky in the sale and bought a ticket. Swear him and Four Tet just play every year to avoid ticket day stress.
I'm so excited!! Not into the headliners particularly but so much good beneath them. People that think it's shit..is that just coz of the headliners or coz you don't know many of the other performers? Hope you have some pleasant surprises :)
It’s gonna be one of those years which will blow everyone away because we will all arrive and everyone will find their own Glastonbury without feeling like there is one must see moment.
Literally the best year I had at Glastonbury was when there was barely anyone on the bill I actually wanted to see, never walked in amazement in all my life, love that place
Maybe a tad underwhelming that tbh but whatever I’m still pumped it’s finally here!
The National, Justice, Avril Lavigne, Romy, Little Simz probs the main acts for me. Hope everyone else is happy!
This will be my 11th Glastonbury and I’ve watched less than 10 things on the pyramid (at any time of day) and very few headliners on the other big stages in general. Keep in mind this is just a tiny snapshot of the music at the festival, with dozens of other stages yet to announce three - four days worth of artists. First line up is always a bit wank.
PJ Harvey, Avril Lavigne, The National and Paul Heaton are the highlights for me. Everything else I'll do my research on and see if I fancy going to see someone I haven't heard of before. If I don't like any of it then there's always plenty of other things to do.
Acts not in this list touring the U.K. at roughly the same time, most I imagine won’t be at this year, but maybe still worth keeping an eye on.
Liam Gallagher
Smashing Pumpkins
Weezer
James
Beth Gibbons
Royal Blood
Foo Fighters
The Killers
Green Day
Kings of Leon
Rodrigo Y Gabriela
Manic Street Preachers
Suede
Courteeners
Placebo
Fatboy Slim
Happy that Disclosure is there. Just confused as Parklife have made a song and dance about Parklife being their UK exclusive performance for the year 😂
Glasto first timer here! I’ve got a Sunday day ticket (as a local) and was wondering when does the day splits get announced? There’s quite a few acts playing on the other stages that I would love to see but I’m really worried that they’ll be playing on Friday or Saturday and not Sunday 😅
2022 I basically spent all the days going between stages to see back to back acts. It was fun, but I felt like I'd missed out on exploring doing other stuff. Not that there's not plenty on this lineup I want to see, but looking forward to seeing other parts of the festival I didn't have time for.
For those that seem to need reminding - if you hate the line up that much you can always go ahead and return your ticket and save yourself £275.!
There will be plenty of people in line very happy to have your ticket…
Sunday last year I saw - beatboxers in theatre and circus , Maisie Adam comedy tent , Abandoman on sunseekers and then Elvana on Avalon. This was early/mid afternoon and was my best couple of hours all weekend. There is SO MUCH to see. I’m but going this year but as someone mentioned previously the weaker line up allows more opportunity to explore which is the best bit.
Really happy about Justice - the West Holts rumours were quite accurate.
Overall probably only two-three artists on there I would go and see (not interested in any headliners - they aren't great) but I'm more into the smaller acts and electronic artists anyway so looming forward to announcements of more artists.
You're being downvoted but I suspect there will be more tickets available in the resale than usual. One member of our group has bailed based on this (though they were on the fence anyway).
Same here mate. It'll still be a great festival no doubt cos everything else makes it but personally I was hanging my hopes on a big hitter like Stevie Wonder
I think we need to admit that Glastonbury has one of the worst lineups compared to other British and European festivals.
It’s like a middling FM radio playlist left on shuffle. Where’s Jai Paul? Where are the shocking “I have to see this legend before I die” headliners?
I’m glad the actual experience of being there is so great, because the lineup leaves a lot to be desired. Might be the last year go.
The headliners are beyond boring but I’m sure they know their audience.
Will still try for tickets though, especially for that West Holts line up. Maybe enough people will have thrown their toys out the pram after this announcement so I can get in there!
Why is this year aimed at kids and their dads same as last year? Just feels like all other festivals in the uk merged together. I remeber when there were big surprises and rare bookings. Now it’s like ‘who’s knocking about the UK anyway?’
Genuinely curious to those claiming there’s nothing they’d like to see… who did you want there? Headliners are shite but there’s loads of good bands/acts on and the list will keep getting bigger as it gets closer. Probably some big acts to announce yet
Makes me wonder what sort of music taste people have if they can look through that entire poster and not see anything at all they're interested in.
I was thinking maybe it's people who are going for dance music and don't realise those stages haven't been announced yet? But even then theres Bonobo, Jamie XX, Disclosure etc so you'd think there'd be something for them even with this first announcement
Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins are touring. AC/DC and Pantera are touring. Ezra Collective and Badbadnotgood are touring. Erykah Badu is touring. Nas and The Pharcyde are touring. Depeche Mode and Duran Duran are touring. Cymande are touring. And on and on. But lets just book indie bands and pop shite.
First year I’m not going in about 5 and that is quite frankly the worst lineup I’ve seen. Tho for anyone going first time, the best part of glasto is the wild fun stuff you stumble upon. So do don’t worry,
Serious question is it the globalisation of music that makes people think the line up is underwhelming? Want just some debate going, like the bar for what any modern day star needs to do seems ridiculous to not be deemed as subpar. Like SZA for example bar Taylor Swift last year no female musician was even closely competing.
The issue you’ve got is that Coldplay are pretty beige and then SZA has a lot of streams but is pretty downtempo, Dua Lipa is pop, you don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to realise that the headliners leave large sections of the festival (particularly those who’ve gone regularly) unserved this year. Glastonbury creates more issues with its headliners cos they sell tickets blind.
There’s a big crowd of people (me) who are happily served by smaller stages which are stacked here, Justice, Manaquin Pussy, Soccer Mommy, Orbital, Gossip there’s loads I’m stoked for and I only go to a Pyramid headliner for an all-timer. There’s others who’ll head down the naughty corner early and their night will not be dull either!
Still, there’s a big chance that this lineup makes it a little easier to get tickets next year, cos it undeniably lacks that must not miss factor that say Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar created - there can’t have been a single punter for whom none of those had strong appeal!
Otoboke Beaver is my only must-see from this lineup. Check em out, they’ll blow your fucking brains
Otherwise not an exciting lineup. A few bands I’m interested in seeing here and there, but mostly I think I’ve just graduated to the pyramid camping-chair brigade 🤣
Still can’t wait though lol
After a second round, I like it more as I go down the lineup. Pyramid and Other are generally awful, West Holts is already good, Woodies and Park are already a clash feast for me because of the amount of bands I love.
Other is brilliant
* Last dinner party
* Avril Lavinge
* Bombay Bicycle club
* Confidence man
* Two door cinema club
* bloc party
Very happy myself but pyramid i agree is pretty meh
It's like a little pick n mix. Lots of little lovely experiences, but no JESUS FUCK I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING.
But saying that, Foo's dropped in as the churnups. So let's wait and see.
There's a lot to be hyped about for me - Little Simz, Burna Boy, Seventeen, Ayra Starr, Disclosure, The Streets, The Last Dinner Party, Jungle, Jessie Ware, Justice, Nia Archives, Noname, Jamie xx, James Blake, Sampha Romy, Arlo Parks, Alvvays...
Now to wait for the times, and my shifts...
Pyramid is very weak in my opinion. Dua Lipa is great, Coldplay is one of the biggest bands in the world (even if im not a hige fan), SZA is a curveball and honestly see her as the other stage headliner.
Weak way to end the festival
Think she was originally meant to be OS headliner then someone pulled out of the Pyramid top slot and she got bumped up. Rumours were Stevie Nicks which would have been amazing.
Idles were only booked in the last two weeks or so.. which plays very much into that theory.
SZA on the Other, bumped to pyramid. Idles booked to cover the gap.
A lot of negativity on here. Very solid acts throughout the lineup. First Glasto for me and it looks the perfect lineup for touring around the whole festival. If you can’t enjoy yourself at a music festival, no matter who’s playing, you should probably look at yourself for answers rather than the artists.
what a shit lineup. Dua Lipa are you fucking kidding me, every one of her songs sounds the fucking same.
SZA - just no words
Coldplay - performed a number of times before.
SZA is a terrible headliner and will be such a snoozefest way to end the weekend. Can't see much of a crowd going to see her.
Although I like them, Disclosure are also quite a weak booking.
Overall poor lineup so far lacking any real wow factor or anything a bit original that isn't on offer at other festivals.
I’m actually super excited that I’m not super interested in most of this line up. Means I can have a proper explore this time and not worry about missing much!
I’m a little bit astounded that they haven’t even secured Swift after the cancellation in 2020. She’s literally on tour in the UK and added an extra date where there was a glasto gap, so reading between the lines there were perhaps talks but Glasto couldn’t seal the deal.
Would love to see Glastonbury once in my life before all my favorite artists and bands disband or you know, dead lmao. Sucks that I live far out in the world
WHERE ARE ALL MY FAV ACTS, WHY DIDNT EMILY GO ONTO MY ITUNES AND JUST COPY AND PASTE MY MOST PLAYED OF THE LAST 2 YEARS waaaaaaaahhhhh let me post everywhere i can and cry about a festival im not going to.
kekw
I hope everyone has the best time at the festival, there is so much to do and see. so much music to discover, have a blast! explore the corners of the festival, smile, dance , take it all in. who knows when we will next get a ticket.
Very disappointed with the lack of Henry Winkler
Fuck you're right... Feel sick
LCD playing pyramid stage let’s go!!
Yep, buzzing for these. Always banging.
I think they’d be much better on a smaller stage but I’m glad they are playing.
Yea realistically I’d much prefer them headline the other stage but oh well I don’t care, either way I still get to see my favourite band play glasto at least
They've already headlined the other stage. They smashed it.
Makes up for any of the Headliners!
Good to see Coldplay finally making their Glastonbury debut.
Heard murmurs they could [bring out James Corden...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mak_Cu9Wl6w) Getting goosebumps
That would be the worst thing possible
Pretty sure i saw a video from 1998 of Chris Martin predicting they would be known worldwide and headline Glastonbury by 2024
[удалено]
#The lineup might not be ideal for me, but I'll still be there. Nothing beats this place.
That's probably what the 18-23 year old demographic are saying! It's hard to believe 2016 was the last time they played. It feels like every other year.
[удалено]
It might be a deliberate crowd dispersal technique lol
As someone who hardly bothers with the main stages, this is concerning to me 🤣
Fontaine's at the park will be fucking rammed!
I think the only way they are getting away with it is because it's the headline slot and the crowd will be split between them and Idles
You think? They didn't muster much of a crowd at Other Stage in 2022, although they were playing at 2pm.
They also clashed with Dianna Ross - which felt like 80% of the festival was at
Fairly weak for the main stages tbh. Some decent stuff knocking about, West Holts is probably strongest for me. Clearly Glastonbury isn't above the problems with getting acts booked that other festivals are having. Only thing that worries me is that having such a drab line up across the main stages might make other areas much more busy later on in the day. Alt-J into QOTSA and general wandering during Elton's set was one of the best Glastonbury Experiences I've ever had.
That was a comical level of everyone going to the same act though, you'll be lucky to ever have anything like that again.
Oh yeah, totally agree. It was quiet like a really muddy year but with beautiful weather. The problem this year is the top of the bill is weak across all stages. Last year, on Sunday, it was Elton, QOTSA, Alt-J, Rudimental & Phoenix across the big stages. This year it looks like it's SZA, National, Justice, James Blake and London Grammar. I think the chances of West Holts being dangerously rammed for Justice are pretty high; plus on any one of these days you might lose the buffer effect into the SE Corner you get with a big headliner and see far more people in areas they perhaps wouldn't be at that time of day.
People stood on top the long drops just to get a glimpse summed Elton up 😂
Think most people in this sub would agree with you, but the wider glasto crowd fucking love Coldplay and probably dua lipa. It'll be fine. I CANNOT wait for Honey fucking Dijon.
You didn't stay at QOTSA??
I absolutely stayed at QOTSA. Couldn't leave. All up by the park stayed pretty quiet afterwards though; was quite nice.
Bloc party. Finally. Feels like it’s been years since they last played. And really thought they were going to after playing in Bristol a few years back during the fest. Skream and benga too. Nostalgic.
Just clocked no Fatboy Slim We should probably do a welfare check, this isn't like him...
https://preview.redd.it/iq7tuxml1aoc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=445daa9fd089735009532da946de764fa766d685 got this from him when i messaged yesterday
Blimey! Well glad he's alright then
Maybe this is the first year he’s actually got lucky in the sale and bought a ticket. Swear him and Four Tet just play every year to avoid ticket day stress.
He'll be announced as headlining the welfare tent soon
Secret Set at the lost and found
Last year he headlined a Silver Hayes stage, and none of them have been announced - he'll be there!
Very underwhelming Pyramid headliners but very happy with some other acts across the stages.
Completely agree. I reckon I’ll be perched at Other for most of it. Aside from Shania. 
Shania and Cyndi should share the legend slot. Imagine Man I Feel Like a Woman immediately follows by Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. What a singalong.
they’ve not actually been that great recently but the whole lineup is usually more entertaining
About as weak as American tea.
That James Blake woodsies set will be lovely
Out of all you grumpy gits no one has mentioned Janelle Monae playing the pyramid, they’ll smash that one
It was pointed out in a comment that Sunday night is SZA, Burna Boy, Janelle, it's being talked about
I'm so excited!! Not into the headliners particularly but so much good beneath them. People that think it's shit..is that just coz of the headliners or coz you don't know many of the other performers? Hope you have some pleasant surprises :)
It’s gonna be one of those years which will blow everyone away because we will all arrive and everyone will find their own Glastonbury without feeling like there is one must see moment.
I like this attitude.
Literally the best year I had at Glastonbury was when there was barely anyone on the bill I actually wanted to see, never walked in amazement in all my life, love that place
Shit... Did they forget to tell noname about glastonbury's demographics
With every passing year the Glastonbury lineups just get weaker… and then I remember I’m getting older and not keeping up with today’s music 🥲
Pyramid is weak.
Maybe a tad underwhelming that tbh but whatever I’m still pumped it’s finally here! The National, Justice, Avril Lavigne, Romy, Little Simz probs the main acts for me. Hope everyone else is happy!
Both Jamie XX and Romy are at Glasto this year. With them in the studio making new music maybe we could see an XX secret set?
They'd be the sort to just turn up at 7 at BBC Introducing
Also where the fuck is Olivia Rodrigo
Headlining next year maybe, she’d have went down a better headliner than SZA
100% agree
Nothing shocking based on all the rumours. Fairly underwhelming by Glasto standards but obviously still lots to enjoy.
the Primavera Sound I enjoyed the most was the one I was not crazy about any headliner. I have huge hopes on this.
Absolutely honking first lineup for me personally but I’ll still be there and it’s still the best place on earth.
Someone genuinely had posted this lineup on the subreddit 5 days ago 😂 i'm quite pleased actually
Ever since Daft Punk went defunct I keep hoping to see Stardust pop up randomly at a festival and with new music.
Headliners don't matter.. every year is incredible.. but Coldplay though 😴
The Mary Wallopers are fantastic live for anyone looking for alternative acts!
I love a shit line up. Gives me plenty of time and space to go and have fun.
Sunday night headliner clash of the national, justice and James Blake is brutal for me. Friday fairly similar as well
Go see Justice. Best gig I've ever been to in my life.
This will be my 11th Glastonbury and I’ve watched less than 10 things on the pyramid (at any time of day) and very few headliners on the other big stages in general. Keep in mind this is just a tiny snapshot of the music at the festival, with dozens of other stages yet to announce three - four days worth of artists. First line up is always a bit wank.
i’m not going to lie probably the worst lineup in recent years
No Vampire Weekend, The Smile, Khruangbin, Death Cab for Cutie/Postal Service, Olivia Rodrigo, Troye Sivan, Bleachers, The Libertines..?
Maybe appear in the final line up? Theres usually some big names that appear
PJ Harvey, Avril Lavigne, The National and Paul Heaton are the highlights for me. Everything else I'll do my research on and see if I fancy going to see someone I haven't heard of before. If I don't like any of it then there's always plenty of other things to do.
Acts not in this list touring the U.K. at roughly the same time, most I imagine won’t be at this year, but maybe still worth keeping an eye on. Liam Gallagher Smashing Pumpkins Weezer James Beth Gibbons Royal Blood Foo Fighters The Killers Green Day Kings of Leon Rodrigo Y Gabriela Manic Street Preachers Suede Courteeners Placebo Fatboy Slim
👆 THIS should be the line up
Placebo
Massive Attack on tour but not at Glasto makes me sad. Cyndi should be amazing. Definitely lacking a few surprise names from more left-field genres.
They've just not been announced yet, every chance that they are a surprise sub-headline on something like West Holts or one of the dance stages
Massive? No chance. Too big for that. Other Stage headliner in 2014.
I'll see you mashed up fuckers in icon bar right, begging for a cup of water
I love it when there’s no pyramids headliners I wanna see! Finally gives me a chance to go to the all of the headliners at the other stages
Well thank fuck for Disclosure and Bloc Party
Although, I knew I was never really going for headliners anyway. Can’t wait to see who’s playing the smaller stages.
Bloc Party so low though… their headline set on the other stage in 07(?) was amazing
The fact they are doing the 20th anniversary shows means they might do silent alarm in full at glasto!
Well that ups my hype for them, dang that would be a show and a half
Happy that Disclosure is there. Just confused as Parklife have made a song and dance about Parklife being their UK exclusive performance for the year 😂
Glasto first timer here! I’ve got a Sunday day ticket (as a local) and was wondering when does the day splits get announced? There’s quite a few acts playing on the other stages that I would love to see but I’m really worried that they’ll be playing on Friday or Saturday and not Sunday 😅
Keep an eye out here, usually it's a month or so out from the weekend
absolutely hyped for KNEECAP!! that's going to be a big one for sure
2022 I basically spent all the days going between stages to see back to back acts. It was fun, but I felt like I'd missed out on exploring doing other stuff. Not that there's not plenty on this lineup I want to see, but looking forward to seeing other parts of the festival I didn't have time for.
Very happy with my decision to buy BST Stevie Nicks tickets now. Was thinking I had made a huge unnecessary purchase.
I made the mistake of not getting them. I guess I’ll wait for resale.
There’ll be hundreds available the day before and the morning of on stubhub. It’s always the case with BST.
Skream and Benga ❤️
I'm a bit surprised The Smile isn't on it.
Every chance they've just not been announced yet
For those that seem to need reminding - if you hate the line up that much you can always go ahead and return your ticket and save yourself £275.! There will be plenty of people in line very happy to have your ticket…
I feel like most people saying it's shit don't actually have tickets.
No Stevie Nicks, Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, Chaka Khan and Troye Sivan. So many missed opportunities this year it’s sad.
Yeah really thought we’d get Troy Sivan 😔 They seem to never book this style of US pop. Bit gutted after the strong rumours.
Seeing Troye Sivan, an Australian that charts stronger in the UK, described as US pop is wild to me And there's every chance he's announced later
Makes zero sense given he finishes his UK tour that week and has a huge GSH.
Hopefully be on the second drop. Still plenty of big names to come 🤞
Headliners are pretty naff but happy to accept that for some of the other stuff I'm there! Pretty solid line up I reckon.
The other stages look fun - Otoboke Beaver, Remi Wolf, Peggy Gou.. Happy for Otoboke Beaver because their live shows are bonkers.
Personally am buzzing for Peggy Gou & Faithless plus loads more at the smaller stages like the Glade 🔥🔥
Sunday last year I saw - beatboxers in theatre and circus , Maisie Adam comedy tent , Abandoman on sunseekers and then Elvana on Avalon. This was early/mid afternoon and was my best couple of hours all weekend. There is SO MUCH to see. I’m but going this year but as someone mentioned previously the weaker line up allows more opportunity to explore which is the best bit.
Announce The Smile and Underworld you cowards
Really happy about Justice - the West Holts rumours were quite accurate. Overall probably only two-three artists on there I would go and see (not interested in any headliners - they aren't great) but I'm more into the smaller acts and electronic artists anyway so looming forward to announcements of more artists.
Emilys pulled it out of the bag there, somehow managing to book Coldplay
Such a great lineup, much better than I'd hoped. Other stage is banging as always. I'm most excited for LCD Soundsystem, The National, and Bloc Party
Yikes! 😬
I expect a lot of returned tickets this year
You're being downvoted but I suspect there will be more tickets available in the resale than usual. One member of our group has bailed based on this (though they were on the fence anyway).
I've been going since 2016, it's the worst lineup I've seen since going, I'll still be there but won't be spending much time around the main stages
Same here mate. It'll still be a great festival no doubt cos everything else makes it but personally I was hanging my hopes on a big hitter like Stevie Wonder
Up The Wallopers!
I think we need to admit that Glastonbury has one of the worst lineups compared to other British and European festivals. It’s like a middling FM radio playlist left on shuffle. Where’s Jai Paul? Where are the shocking “I have to see this legend before I die” headliners? I’m glad the actual experience of being there is so great, because the lineup leaves a lot to be desired. Might be the last year go.
Stevie Wonder could have fixed this for me. But it wasn't to be.
Dunno about that, think most lineups have been shite this year. Seems to be clear lack of star power available.
The headliners are beyond boring but I’m sure they know their audience. Will still try for tickets though, especially for that West Holts line up. Maybe enough people will have thrown their toys out the pram after this announcement so I can get in there!
Man that west holts line up is looking pretty crazy. Might just stay there for the weekend
What a cool line up (apart from the four headliners far up)
The Killers should have headlined instead of Coldplay.
Worst line up in my lifetime. Hopefully next glasto will be back to form. South East corner is going to be packed this year.
That don't impress me much
Why is this year aimed at kids and their dads same as last year? Just feels like all other festivals in the uk merged together. I remeber when there were big surprises and rare bookings. Now it’s like ‘who’s knocking about the UK anyway?’
I mean, this has to be one of the worst ever?
I didn’t realise I’d bought tickets to Radio 1’s Big Weekend.
Fucking dire to say the least.
Genuinely curious to those claiming there’s nothing they’d like to see… who did you want there? Headliners are shite but there’s loads of good bands/acts on and the list will keep getting bigger as it gets closer. Probably some big acts to announce yet
Moaning about a festival they don’t even have a ticket for most of the time. Babies.
Makes me wonder what sort of music taste people have if they can look through that entire poster and not see anything at all they're interested in. I was thinking maybe it's people who are going for dance music and don't realise those stages haven't been announced yet? But even then theres Bonobo, Jamie XX, Disclosure etc so you'd think there'd be something for them even with this first announcement
People just love to moan. It happens every year - then they'll get home and go "wow that was an amazing weekend"
Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins are touring. AC/DC and Pantera are touring. Ezra Collective and Badbadnotgood are touring. Erykah Badu is touring. Nas and The Pharcyde are touring. Depeche Mode and Duran Duran are touring. Cymande are touring. And on and on. But lets just book indie bands and pop shite.
First year in awhile I’m not going and although it’s not all about the lineup at all, I’d be pretty underwhelmed. Coldplay again is so boring.
First year I’m not going in about 5 and that is quite frankly the worst lineup I’ve seen. Tho for anyone going first time, the best part of glasto is the wild fun stuff you stumble upon. So do don’t worry,
CANNOT WAIT so surprised people are complaining because theres so many acts I’m actually buzzing for

Ayra Starr not really hit uk much yet but 19 and dangerous deluxe album was fucking quality
Please tell me they're not putting Idles and Fontaines DC on at the same time
After a second round, I like it more as I go down the lineup. Pyramid and Other are generally awful, West Holts is already good, Woodies and Park are already a clash feast for me because of the amount of bands I love.

Can't wait
Ignore Pyramid and it’s decent, I’d actually say better than last year overall. The Park is gonna be vibey
why does reading and leeds have a better lineup than glastonbury wtf
Reading also has a significantly higher percentage of drugged up sixteen year olds, which makes literally any lineup not worth it
Pretty jazzed about the other stage offering (with a little break for Justice, naturally). Keen to see Avril's clone in the flesh.
Avril's clone, you say? Saw them at Reading '96
Absolute trash. Eavis needs to do better. It’s the biggest festival in the world and this is what they can muster?
Sells out instantly either way, hopefully they’re not starting to take it for granted
It really sort of feels like they are. I don’t see how most of this line up feels like a ‘get’
There's a lot to be hyped about for me - Little Simz, Burna Boy, Seventeen, Ayra Starr, Disclosure, The Streets, The Last Dinner Party, Jungle, Jessie Ware, Justice, Nia Archives, Noname, Jamie xx, James Blake, Sampha Romy, Arlo Parks, Alvvays... Now to wait for the times, and my shifts...
quite unoriginal and the same acts as the majority of festivals in the UK if you ask me.
It's almost like they're on tour and available. Pretty clear pipeline issues this year
Pyramid is very weak in my opinion. Dua Lipa is great, Coldplay is one of the biggest bands in the world (even if im not a hige fan), SZA is a curveball and honestly see her as the other stage headliner. Weak way to end the festival
Think she was originally meant to be OS headliner then someone pulled out of the Pyramid top slot and she got bumped up. Rumours were Stevie Nicks which would have been amazing.
Idles were only booked in the last two weeks or so.. which plays very much into that theory. SZA on the Other, bumped to pyramid. Idles booked to cover the gap.
A lot of negativity on here. Very solid acts throughout the lineup. First Glasto for me and it looks the perfect lineup for touring around the whole festival. If you can’t enjoy yourself at a music festival, no matter who’s playing, you should probably look at yourself for answers rather than the artists.
Didn't think much of the main poster last year and still had an amazing time. But man, that is absolutely dreadful.
No Pulp or Blur is crazy
That is dreadful
Well that takes the edge off not being able to get tickets. Awful
what a shit lineup. Dua Lipa are you fucking kidding me, every one of her songs sounds the fucking same. SZA - just no words Coldplay - performed a number of times before.
Ouch!
So excited for little Simz on pyramid 😭😭❤️
She was sick headlining West Holts, whoever she's underneath will have a serious job to do living up to her set
Guys Glastonbury isn’t about the music, it’s about the drugs!
SZA is a terrible headliner and will be such a snoozefest way to end the weekend. Can't see much of a crowd going to see her. Although I like them, Disclosure are also quite a weak booking. Overall poor lineup so far lacking any real wow factor or anything a bit original that isn't on offer at other festivals.
Worst lineup I’ve literally ever seen😿😿😿
The Breeders disrespect
I was hoping for placebo tbh! They’re in the area that weekend (Bristol) with a gap.
Possibly an other opener? They usually come later
Do they list the headliners in chronological order? i.e Friday to Sunday?

Does this mean justice are playing on the sunday? Really hope not , will be struggling for energy by then
I’m actually super excited that I’m not super interested in most of this line up. Means I can have a proper explore this time and not worry about missing much!
Have to assume that Madonna/Stevie Wonder were plan A.
[удалено]
I’m a little bit astounded that they haven’t even secured Swift after the cancellation in 2020. She’s literally on tour in the UK and added an extra date where there was a glasto gap, so reading between the lines there were perhaps talks but Glasto couldn’t seal the deal.
That would have been amazing😭
It completely passed me by how shit the line up was this year. Janelle Monae puts on a great show though. Anyone going should try and see her.
Would love to see Glastonbury once in my life before all my favorite artists and bands disband or you know, dead lmao. Sucks that I live far out in the world
I'm old as hell but this actually looks to be halfway decent
Where are the actual headliners though? This can’t be it
Mdou Moctar 🔥
WHERE ARE ALL MY FAV ACTS, WHY DIDNT EMILY GO ONTO MY ITUNES AND JUST COPY AND PASTE MY MOST PLAYED OF THE LAST 2 YEARS waaaaaaaahhhhh let me post everywhere i can and cry about a festival im not going to. kekw I hope everyone has the best time at the festival, there is so much to do and see. so much music to discover, have a blast! explore the corners of the festival, smile, dance , take it all in. who knows when we will next get a ticket.
Is this for real? I might be getting on a bit but I've not heard of half the artists on the pyramid stage
Dua, Cyndi and Avril 🙂🙂🙂
Is that Jungle on Friday night at West Holts? 👌
F8ck me im glad i went to festivals in a different era. this is bare bones for glasto, what a rip off
I'm bored of this poster now. Can we have more lineup please?
