Its a fúcking endless cycle of Mac, Coldplay, Adele and ACDC. None of which appeal to me one iota.
FM can go fúck a duck as far as I'm concerned, money grabbing ^&^&^&%^

saw Fleetwood Mac in the 3Arena in June and it was one of the best gigs i've been to, would love to see them play.

Mick's "solo" tho.

I'm not very enthusiastic about those rumours either to be honest. I was hoping for Muse 😔

Adele seems to still be against doing big gigs, so looks like no chance of Glastonbury:

Speaking to London’s Capital Breakfast Show, the British star made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that the world renowned festival was not for her.

Watching Kanye West’s headline slot earlier in the year she said, in her usual unceremonious fashion, “I crapped my pants at the size of the crowd.”

She reiterated her stance, saying, “I think I’ve made myself pretty clear on Glastonbury, the crowds are just too big - I don’t know if I could do it.”

Delighted!

Campervan tickets for 2016 can now be booked:

Unfortunately this probably means my hopes of getting a ticket and campervan ticket in April are now well and truly zero.

ghostdancer

West campervan field sold out in 15mins, East is much bigger but I'd say they'll be gone fairly soon.
All the Tipis sold out too, and nearly everything in Worthy View, only some larger scout tents left.

Majority all sold out within 10 mins this morning - nuts !! thankfully got 4 person bunkpad .. I know I know not the full experience but couldn't be dealing with real campers - need small bit of comfort for the few days .... cant wait now !!

Has she not confirmed now she is to headline or is that still all talk?

no, it's just talk, although she has today announced big arena gigs for the first time, so maybe she has gotten over her fears of crowds.
the tour ends 2 weeks before Glastonbury.

Ugh I really hope she isn't headlining. I know I can just go somewhere else when she's on but id rather a headliner I'll actually enjoy!

Basq

Adele you say?

♪♫ Hello from the ..



♪♫

MadYaker

Guns N Roses are touring, would they be in with a shout for headliner? Id say they're far from a safe bet though considering Axl's past history....

LCD Soundsystem are touring as well, surely they'' be on the bill somewhere?

I'd say they're a definite..

.. gutted I'm missing it this year.. unless the resale proves fruitful (though I can't help but be pessimistic)!

Kettle316

Last Shadow Puppets announced for Cochella too, I'd imagine they'll be somewhere on the bill.

Would love to see GNR but I doubt they'd have them headlining. Not that they aren't big enough or anything, just because of Axl being such a headcase :pac:

When was the line up announced for last year again?

April I think

ghostdancer

GnR are way too expensive for Glastonbury.

LCD could well happen, Other Stage headliners most likely, assuming they're not headlining Bestival or something instead.

MadYaker

The Strokes have announced a gig for 2016 too. Jaysus if I saw LCD, The Last Shadow Puppets and The Strokes I could die happy.

Interesting.
I wonder would they have as much pull as Lionel/Dolly?

ghostdancer

i doubt it, Dolly/Lionel were pretty much as big as they could get.
before them it was Kenny Rogers, Paul Simon and Ray Davies so I guess this is more on that level...

ghostdancer

Coldplay confirmed for Sunday night, no great surprise really.

Hoping that people cancel their tickets now so that I can get some in the resale. No wish to see Coldplay, been there, done that, done that again, what seriously again Glastonbury, you're having a laugh.... Coldplay again!?!?!?!?

Just need tickets. Every year since '95 and then didn't get any tickets for this year.

I'd even wish for Kanye to play again if it meant that people cancelled so I could get a ticket.

Was always gonna happen. They're actually pretty good live but the last few albums aren't my cup of tea.

I'm guessing that Foo Fighters will be one of the other headliners after having to cancel last year. Then not sure about the third one.

vast majority of people going this year won't have seen them before in fairness.
think i read before that there's 25% completely new attendees every year.
they'll still be a huge draw, regardless of them playing 5 years ago...
