That really wound me up
Wouldn't Eavis have sorted out all that beforehand with the BBC? He can't make them headliners and not show them on tv. They must have had that conversation, surely?
Jo Whiley will pull the plug, and say 'Well now we have a chance to show the AMAZING Arcade Fire when they came in to the tent to read from the phone book, this is AMAZING'
That I am afraid will be down to Metallica, and what they have negotiated, The Rolling Stones didn't want their show broadcast, hence why we didn't see the full set..it was nothing to do with the BBC, it was down to the band.
You could possibly do an hour of each, looking at the times.

Well if Metallica have given BBC permission then i would expect to see their full set or at least some part of it. The Stones did the same last year.
Not much really, Jack White and Dolly Parton for me, but also recording the late shows just invade they show anything good
Definitely the best way to experience Glastonbury for me, looks like raining again.
I do recommend some of the European festivals, Optimus Alive in Lisbon is great, only £100 or so, for the three days sunny weather, no mud (artificial grass)., very easy to get to and from and Cascais beach just 20mins away. I went a couple of years ago (Radiohead, The Cure and Stone Roses), was extremely impressed)

None of the headliners are doing it for me, I'm afraid. Least of all Kasabian who I imagined to be a little bit more "T in the Park".
Haim, Lana Del Rey and Jack White are the only artists on this list that I'm particularly bothered with so I'll check out their sets. Doesn't look like a vintage year though and certainly nothing as monumental as the Stones performance last time out.
Lots of other stuff which might not get any coverage - Manics, Mogwai, Interpol, Pixies (probably well past their best now and no Kim Deal), Parquet Courts.
Not a particularly strong line-up.
Time to start livestreaming, folks..
