Glastonbury line up not very inspiring

[EachandEveryone]

I guess Im getting old theres four female acts there that I absolutely love but that top line isnt that great, is it? I havent got a ticket so maybe im kidding myself? https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/glastonbury-2024-line-up-so-far/

Looking forward to seeing some of these acts from the comfort of my sofa!

I'd never heard of SZA either. I suppose Shania is an improvement on some of the aged legends they've had recently.

Is it 2016 again?

Very uninspiring although I'm probably not their target market these days. I would like to see The Breeders though so will see if they're touring.

I think I'm over Glastonbury as an attendee. I loved it pre-Park stage. It seemed to get too big and crowded thereafter.

Don't impress me much!

I would be happy with PJ Harvey and Shania but either haven't heard of or don't care about the others.

It's not worth the ticket price this year. It feels like they've scrambled around and not thought it through so got whoever was left over.

100% this. The festival is no longer about the music it's about getting your face seen.

They need a big act - all a bit pedestrian this year. I was hoping for Madonna

I think Emily was hoping for Madonna as well. She seems to have done a Prince on her.

its the headliners that are meh. I guess everyone has done it though.

It looks crap!

Breeders are touring! I've got tickets 😁

There's a few on there I'd like to see. But I wouldn't pay Glastonbury ticket prices to see them.

I am pleased to see Heilung on there. I wonder how that's going to go down with the Glastonbury crowd!

Idles are insane live 🤘

Seems good to me. I love Coldplay. 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

Nothing But Thieves have some great songs and are very underrated imo.

I’m looking forward to it.

Coldplay cost me £300 (me, dh and dd) last summer alone, so it's probably value for money if you like festivals (I don't!)
I'd like to see PJ Harvey and Cyndi Lauper and Dua Lipa

I'm not going. And agree it's not a very exciting line up this year.. but after seeing Coldplay last year I would say they put on an incredible show!!

Never heard of sza until a few weeks ago, not my cup of tea. I like shania Twain. Coldplay are ok but a bit meh

Me too, wasn't she brilliant!

There are some big acts playing this summer, wonder if some of them will get added to the line-up – Kylie, Robbie/Take That, Bruce. And AC/DC of course 😂

I don't have a ticket. But perversely used to quite like it when there was not loads I wanted to see on the line up, it took the pressure off of rushing to different stages so could just mooch about discovering acts and unexpected stuff, best experiences.

I was at the very first one when it was called the Pilton Festival.

I too wasn't blown away by the lineup, but after copying and pasting the list there are quite a few I'd like to see (from my sofa so won't get to see anything from half of them going by previous years bbc coverage).

DUA LIPA
COLDPLAY
LCD SOUNDSYSTEM

PJ HARVEY
CYNDI LAUPER

YARD ACT

Have to agree OP that the line-up is uninspiring largely. I consciously uncoupled myself from listening to Coldplay years ago.

Everyone raves about how it's not about the main stages etc but really the rest of the festival is just your overpriced food stalls, clothing stalls you can buy cheaper at the stalls online stores, and less well known acts on the smaller who you can probably see at your local small festival during the summer.

V happy to see Jessie Ware, Michael Kiwanuka and Jungle. Rest not that bothered about. A lot of pp on Twitter who have bought tickets I seem pretty pissed off about it.

I like Coldplay but come on - this is lazy and boring having them on again.
Dua Lipa is IMHO a great vocalist with a suitcase full of great songs...

Frankly Chrissie Hynde was the best thing on last year - no Lana Del Rey "doing my hair" nonsense (she's great BTW IMHO) - she just rocked up in jeans and a t - and knocked out some great songs - it was a Bowie-esque performance - the real deal.

Only other names I'd probably enjoy are Romy and Olivia Dean but it looks like a really lineup to me. Taylor Swift is the only headliner I really want to see.
