    Still can't believe Mumford & Sons are headlining. What a joke.

    Its a terrible lineup when it should be amazing after it not being on last year, also disappointed in The Rolling Stones only being shown for an hour.

    How the BBC will flex its digital and Red Button muscles this weekend
    Rain or shine, the corporation will cement its position as an innovator in British TV this weekend thanks to vast amounts of coverage from Glastonbury and Wimbledon, says Mark Jefferies

    Yay! The BBC's annual jolly. The line up is pretty poor but the BBC will still hype it up beyond all proportion.

    Yeah, pretty much my thoughts too. The Stones is literally the only act in the lineup that I have even a passing interest in watching.

    I'm not getting excited.

    90% of the "coverage" will be brainless prattle from gormless DJs. And endless name-dropping from smug simpering Jo Whiley.

    The coverage is hyped up to be their biggest ever, but they're not even covering the best acts of the festival - Tame Impala, Toro y Moi, Penguin Cafe and Alabama Shakes.

    Not even showing The Vaccines!

    Vaccines are up later on the Pyramid Stage - and looks as though they'll be carried on the BBC Glasto web stream - although red button kicks in later.

    I think the line up is excellent and i'm looking forward to seeing as much of it as poss, as i tried and failed to get tickets. I wish the acoustic tent was being covered.

    Just really enjoyed Rita Ora.
    I've caught a handful of songs from her at a couple of festivals I've been to but that's the first time I've watched a full set (online at least).
    She certainly was able to command the pyramid stage anyway.

    Not really fussed about anyone else today but I'll watch Solange and maybe catch Crystal Castles at the end of the day.

    Tomorrow - Haim, Mvula, Costello and Savages

    Surely it should be the Stones who were/are, far bigger?
