Glastonbury 2008

[William of Walworth]

If nobody has seen him, then check out Seasick Steve as he is pretty decent, even if your not into that sort of music.

Want To!!!

 

[William of Walworth]

There's only Massive there that I wanna see but it's like that most years. usually spend all my time in the dance field or bimbling around places like the Leftfield, Avalon, Greenfields etc

Indeed ...

It's a solid line-up, but there's nothing special about it. Glastonbury normally has something that no other festival can offer, I can't see that here.

Yes its to be found everywhere else on the site.
the Avalon Stage, Cabaret tent, Small world (my favourite), circus stages, spiritual readings in the tepee at the sauna tent, at 4am watching a band perform bollock naked somewhere in the green fields, drumming but the stone circle.

Role on the best festival ever.

Also, Very Special Guest TBC is a great name for a band.

Well of those names the only ones I will definitely try and see are Jay Z, Leonard Cohen, Spiritualized and Elbow. I'm sure there'll be other excellent entertainment on the smaller stages

Btw - James Blunt Fucks sake - people getting all het up about Jay Z when it turns out that annoying fuckwit is playing

Not forgetting Will Young and Katie Melua!!

I know! I wish it was Reading, then Katie could get the bottle of piss treatment.

 

[gabi]

they're as immature (as 'Dogburger' elsewhere pointed out) as football fans demanding the manager's sacking after a couole of indifferent results.

Spoken like someone who was prolly on the phone one minute aftert tickets went on sale and is now prolly regretting it.

In response to your football manager reference, booking Will Young, Blunty and Katie Melua (tho i still dont quite believe Eavis.com has done this) is akin to Fergie signing James Beattie, Joey Barton and Jermaine Pennant. Ie, yes, i'd be callling for the sack.

I've looked through The Guardian's Line-up pages and can't spot Chas 'n' Dave anywhere. I know I'm probably just missing them and they must be in there somewhere, as I really don't want to have to get a refund.

 

[Socket]

James Blunt, Will Young and Katy Melua are all pretty good at what they do (though none are my bag). Leave 'em alone!

Hitler was also very good at what he did.

It'll be refund time....

They're playing at Bestival, but have a gig in Peterborough on the Saturday of Glasto (http://www.chasndave.com/tour_dates.html ).

This is tragic news.

I might still go for Hayseed Dixie though. At least there's one decent band playing.

Whine, whine, whine. Yup, very good at that.

Nothing's got me that excited at the moment but there's enough to keep me slowly wandering about.....

Dub will be happy though - Alan Tyler's playing

 

[Pieface]

Actually, I think I'm going to be having an accoustic Glastonbury

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

There's nothing on that lineup that's made me regret not getting a ticket - plenty of entertaining stuff certainly, but no absolute must see.

 

[Pieface]

wow, you surprise me

 

[Socket]

Excellent. Here's hoping they don't think The Avalon Stage is that big pointy one off the telly...

 

[Pieface]

Hey - those lads with the bonkers giant wok instruments are playing - Ed had them at Offline once - Portico Quartet.

They were good.

And Candi Staton is going to be beautiful in the sunshine

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

wow, you surprise me

It's surprised me - I had visions of reading the lineup and having to reach for my credit card...

 

[TopCat]

James Blunt & Shakin' Stevens have been confirmed.......

 

[exleper]

so what do these 'very special guest tbc' mean? should i get excited about them? i mean, are they radiohead special? or rolf harris special? or, y'know, the kooks special?

 

[TopCat]

Alvin Stardust is the special guest.

 

[TopCat]

The final special guest to be announced is......

Clive Dunn!

He will reprise a song that made millions happy.

Grandad, we love you.....

Perfect for a wet Glastonbury.

 

[tarannau]

Alvin Stardust is the special guest.

Cool. Is he bringing his son Adam F?
