I like SZA. Honestly though I've never understood the appeal of Glastonbury myself. Absolutely ridiculous prices.

Chocochoo · 14/03/2024 08:51

Yeah I agree. It seems a bit undercooked.

LunaNorth · 14/03/2024 08:54

Bloody hell, Coldplay?

Shania will give good cheese on Sunday, but is she a legend?

Never heard of SZA.

The price is worth every penny have you seen how much gigs are? It’s not the price and it is amazing no matter who are playing. We don’t rough it. The line up is just very mainstream and very tick box

I'd go just to see Cyndi Lauper!

Sleeplesnights · 14/03/2024 09:09

Rubbish line up this year. I'd be so disappointed if I'd forked out tickets. Was hoping for a big name like Stevie Wonder. Shania Twain? 😑 Meh.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 14/03/2024 11:21

Seems a bit flat and bland but hopefully there will be some good acts on the smaller stages.

RampantIvy · 14/03/2024 11:24

I have never heard of SZA either. Coldplay are a bit boring. Dua Lipa and Shania Twain are just about OK.

Comefromaway · 14/03/2024 11:26

I think it's quite uninspiring. I like Dua Lipa, Olivia Dean & The Last Dinner Party.

Nitgel · 14/03/2024 11:30

PJ Harvey is cool, shania may bring a horse on stage to sing to which is always a plus

TheChosenTwo · 14/03/2024 11:30

Do you buy tickets before you know who’s playing? Never been, no interest in doing so but heard the lineup this morning. I went to see SZA last year with a friend who had a spare ticket. I’d pay NOT to see her again!! (Just not my kind of music, I’m not saying she wasn’t good!)
Dh and I would love to see Cyndi lauper but nothing else headlining makes me think it would be worth the discomfort of a weekend camping in hell!

Cas112 · 14/03/2024 11:31

Sza is fab

Nitgel · 14/03/2024 11:32

Sad to see The Breeders quite low down and Dexys too

RampantIvy · 14/03/2024 11:38

Ooh. Paul Heaton and Paloma Faith. Looking forward to watching them.

EachandEveryone · 14/03/2024 11:39

i wonder why Jaqui abbot isnt with him?

Coldplay again!!! Bloody boring

if the were a colour they would beige

Comefromaway · 14/03/2024 11:46

Yes, I do love Cindi Lauper

Jasmin1971 · 14/03/2024 11:52

It's gone downhill for years now

CHEESEY13 · 14/03/2024 12:01

Glastonbury is now a monstrous, overcrowded and unwieldy money-maker. Many, many years ago the line-ups were imaginative.......not so these days.

have you ever been? it's the least crowded festival I've been to. And they give a lot of money to charity. the line up isn't great, yeah, but still best festival ever

Scorchio84 · 14/03/2024 12:04

Came on to say the same.. a few decent artists but over all a big fat meh from me, the shine seems to have gone off Glastonbury to be honest

coureur · 14/03/2024 12:13

There's some good stuff there: Justice, The Last Dinner Party, PJ Harvey, LCD Soundsystem, Sleaford Mods, Orbital, The Breeders, Steel Pulse. The Pyramid stage headliners are meh.

She's been struggling with her voice (I think) for a while now. She had to cancel a lot of shows last year on medical advice as well.

beguilingeyes · 14/03/2024 12:29

I saw Cyndi Lauper at Shepherd's Bush Empire a few years ago. Her voice live is something else. So powerful.

PuppyMonkey · 14/03/2024 12:31

Meh, nobody looks that brilliant imho. Fortunately, I’ve always found seeing the acts the very least interesting aspect of going to Glastonbury. Grin
