Yeah, but they're always going to announce the horribly bland Headliners first aren't they? I'm sure it'll get a lot better. Probably still won't be great though.

number of bands starting with 'the' is a poor indicator. why not bring the the back out of retirement

:lol: the whole point in it for me is to NOT listen to dubstep or dnb. i already do that every single week in the best clubs with the best lineups on the best sytems in the world. glastonbury is my holiday and i'm going to chill the fuck out, smoke a lot and walk around randomly meeting random people and listening to random music. that's why i love it.

i do know what people are saying about the commercial side of it, but it's easy enough to avoid if you stay away from the very centre of it. all about hanging around the greenfields.

@ dan, yeah man back on sunday, will call you. :wink:

Exactly... Anyone who's done the 4am random mission around glasto will know, there's still no other event like it. Fuck the main stages. Glades good too!

The middle class stnuc comment is true though! There's gonna be more floppy hair than you can shake a stick at this year!

Glastonbury lineups are always whack, there's a few things worth seeing but mainly it's poor. I've been twice - 1995 (aged 15) and 1997 (aged 17) I only saw 2 bands on the main stages in 95 (Orbital and the Prodigy - life changing stuff!) and I don't think I watched any in 97. There were a few good things in the Dance Tent (DJ Rap and Carl Cox in 95, Daft Punk in 97 etc) so in 5 days (all about getting there Wednesday night!) I saw about 5 hours of stuff of the main programme - but there's sooooooo much more to see/do/get lost in. I expect it's changed a lot since then (jumped the fence both years, can't really do that now!), but if it's half as good it's definitely worth it.

Actually, in 95 a few mates and me had a genuine group hallucination - no lie. We were chilling in the big stone circle field on Saturday afternoon on some mad accumulated comedown, and some hippy walked past and dropped a huge (A4-size) bag of white powder on the ground. We all saw it, no question it was there. Someone said pick it up, so my mate picked it up and put it in his sleeping bag and we chipped back to our tents - all bricking it... "what the fuck are we going to do with this?!" etc... When we got back there and he tried to get it out, it was gone. Fucking weird...
