    I don't know much about your opinion of rap Dunk, but what I read was 'shit (because he is a) rapper' ;)

    This is why I've not really bothered with the Porch much lately.

    If Pearl Jam DID go to Glastonbury though, I might consider going. Glastonbury looks so boring to me.

    And if the portaloos are as bad as Reading... I only went to see PJ, wouldn't have done it for anyone else. ;)

    The line-up this year is pretty dreadful.... not worth spending £125 on a ticket. Though the 'experience' of Glastonbury is something....

    I'm not worried about the toilets. It just looks boring and dismal most of the time.

    Reading looks okay! I wanted to go back in '95. ...ahhh '95 when a mars bar only cost 10p and music MEANT something. ;)

    True - its usually full of corporate middle class types pretending to be hippies for the weekend.....I'm kinda glad they're not playing cos its about 20 miles down the road from me and I'd be pretty pissed off if I couldn't get tickets to that gig (backward thinking I know :o )

    Wham bars were yum ... they had other colour crystals as well didn't they? You can still buy them but they are about a quarter of the size ... or may be I've grown :p ... but not much :o
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I got one of those stuck to my pillow when I was younger. For some reason I hid it under my pillow AFTER I'd eaten half of it. (That was when I was about 26) ;)

    Anyway, carry on...

    glasto was the dogs bollacks ten years ago...

    sadly now you tend to see countless 'hoorays' with that 'oh look at me being so silly in my pink wellys, what would the stock exchange say if they saw me being soooooo wild' .......

    For that reason alone and its corporateness I now longer bother, 7 good years was worth it, sadly when you start getting rappers and Emily eavis involved its time to move on......

    REM at the royal albert anyone??

    er.....no.

    Jay-Z is a fantastic rapper and the Verve are one of the best bands ever. I don't think they need the money either, frankly. Kings of Leon are completely overrated.

    Jay Z is a bad choice......of hip hop at least......


    The Roots would have been much more preferable if you have to have Hip Hop headlining Glasto (still seems an odd combo).....

    Those are some weak headliners. I'm glad we got Bonnaroo!
  • tmud91087tmud91087 Posts: 97
    Jay Z is worth the 125 bucks alone...Let alone King of Leon headlining as well? Wow. Jay Z is the greatest rapper thats ever lived, gotta give him some respect. Take a look at his hits and maybe youll realize what this guy has done for the hip hop community. Its a fact that he is an icon, whether or not you like him is your opinion, gotta give him respect though.

    I agree the lineup is below par at best, apart from KOL and Neil Diamond
    I don't think i'll go this year, probably go to reading as Rage is meant to be playing

    I like KOL as much as a lot of you do but they are not a headliner. Neither is the Verve.

    Jay Z whether you like them or not would headline any festival or concert he played.

    And someone said the Roots should headline instead of JayZ if they were doing hip hop.

    I went to Rock the Bells and Coachella in 2007 and the Roots were a mid day band at both shows. Definitely not headliner material.

    People have to realize that headliners are supposed to move tickets not satisfy the internet music community.

    The toilets are always awful at British festivals, and after attending day 2 of Festimad last year, in Spain, the toilets were impeccable, I'm starting to realise it's us, we're animals.
    BTW, Mars bars were not 10p in 1995, no way, not having that, more like 20 or 25p.

    Glasonbury, as Robert Plant put it last year, has become "the hit parade in a field".
