    Absolutely no chance it'll sell out on current billing.

    The line up is perhaps the weakest it's ever been, and not in a cool, hipster way either.

    Out of interest, of the acts touring round these parts in and around the end of August, who would you have on the bill?

    The weakest its ever been? Even though line-ups are rather subjective, the fact that Portishead and Slowdive alone are on the bill makes that statement nonsense.

    Is that your less than subtle way of saying the organisers can do no more and that I shouldn't dare call the line-up weak? Regardless of who or who isn't available to perform, it's a poor line up.

    If you're relying on Lilly Allen, Paolo Nutini and Sinead O'Connor as second headliners then lets face it - you're struggling. Chic, Blondie and Simple Minds aren't exactly exciting prospects either.

    Great. You've named two bands. That's surely proved me wrong.

    And pardon me if I don't get over excited at the prospect of once great bands like Slowdive performing for an injection of cash.

    JAMC played a few years back and it was...eh...underwhelming.

    Bands in their prime > Bands going through the motions.

    it will sell out based on 2 artists, paolo nutini and lily allen.

    it was arctic monkeys and ellie goulding last year.

    Isn't Paolo playing about 10 gigs in Ireland this year? I'm sure people will hold off for his own gigs for a fraction of the price.

    You left out Beck, Foals, James Murphy, Nancy Whang, Mogwai, London Grammar, Metronomy, Kelis, Twin Shadow, The Wailers among others, with more to come.

    Not to mention St. Vincent, who is perhaps one of the most interesting women in music right now, plus Beck who released one of the best records of the year thus far and Outkast who barely ever performed live while they were a unit and haven't been together in years, making this perhaps one of the only opportunities most people this side of the Atlantic will have of ever seeing them?

    Just watched Jack White's set at Glasto there. Shame he's only just played Kilmainham. Would've been a great addition to EP.

    Was there and the general concensus was that it was not good. Wish I'd left earlier to go and see Goldfrapp and he was in my top two must sees.

    Really? I enjoyed it. Dull enough crowd for him, though.

    Not the crowd, it was the performance when there. You only have to look at the reviews on eFests. Loads of people went including myself really excited about seeing him and it wasn't great. Was really disappointed as him and Royal Blood were my two absolute no compromise must see's.
    Wish I'd left and gone to see Goldfrapp. Checked her performance and it looked brilliant.

    Thanks MP - friends camped in the Leave no Trace at Body & Soul this year, sounds like an attractive option (a friend went and bought a tent after me and another friend planned on boutique camping).

    Haha you're obsessed with them! I think they're class as well and their album should be out by then so it couldn't work out any better really.

    Furious initially but I think I can confidently extend that sentiment to yourself and not go too far wrong!

    If they play EP I will be up the front again! Love 'em. Right at the front of the John Peel tent. Totally amazing. Highlight of the weekend and finding a new band called Reignwolf, fook me they rocked but no BBC coverage of them. Raging.

    Couldnt drag myself out of the tent for Reignwolf even after spending most of Glasto recommending him to anyone we chatted to. Was fortunately camped in the John Peel field so heard the performance and had caught him in Primavera before. Decent video of him doing a show for a radio station here.

    Yay, someone else who saw it! It was a complete eye opener and the second best thing for me all weekend. Can't believe BBC didn't post it. I've seen some other footage but by jaysus with the drummer going nuts and him going nuts that was some show for the time it was on. Been checking to see when they will play again and they are touring the states now. Please ping me if you hear of them coming over this way for any gigs. Have to see them again.
