Cracking lineup but some horrific clashes!

http://news.q4music.com/2009/05/glas...09line-up.html

The Specials vs De La Soul

Blur vs The Prodigy is nasty as well but fortunantly im already seeing the Prodigy so easy for me

Neil Young on Friday and Crosby, Stills & Nash on Saturday? A possible appearance together? You'd think so.

The overall Pyramid Stage lineup is pretty crap though. OK if you're a Springsteen fan, but the Other Stage beats the heck out of it. Spinal Tap, Tony Christie and a few others can just naff off. The John Peel stage lineups are pretty good though. Doves, Jarvis Cocker, Little Boots, Lady Gaga, Florence & The Machine, Echo & The Bunnymen etc. Great.

Quite a come down for the Sunday evening 'singalong' act from Neil Diamond to Tony Christie

Notice Roger McGuinn there on Sunday though.

Some real legends there this year.

Id prefer the Other stage if I was going on the Sunday.

I'd be excited to see:

The Prodigy, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bat For Lashes, Maximo Park, Peaches.

But that's it. I'm quite releived that I never got tickets. I know it has a lot to do with the festival exprience but the line up is not too amazing for me and the ones I want to see I've seen before (with the exception of Peached and The Prodigy).

Pffft. Distinct lack of Madness or Specials. No fun stuff at all.

Hopefully there's advance warning when Glasvegas are playing so I can turn off.

I'd think not.

Neil Young is at Hyde Park Calling on Saturday night. Don't think CSN will be at Glastonbury a day early.

Definites:

Florence & the Machine,
The Gaslight Anthem,

Who's goin'? I AM

Am I excited .. YEEEEEAAAAHHHHH

I suspect from comments above that many haven't been before. You can't just go from one stage to another .. particularly if it's muddy. It usually takes at least half an hour, so you miss a set. I usually decide on 2 or 3 acts per day I really, really wanna see, then compromise with the rest. eg on Sunday, I'd rather see Prodigy than Blur (I've seen them both before) but I've never seen Nick Cave live, and really, really wanna see him. So I'll see Blur Sunday night (or spend half an hour trudging in the mud in the general direction of Prodigy .. )

Thanks , thats interesting and something I hadn't considered...I haven't been to Glasto , but from my T in the Park experiences had assumed that you could stage hop relatively straight forwardly. Now you mention it, and I think of the scale of Glasto, the crowds, and yes...even the mud I can understand how difficult that would prove.

I'll just hop from BBC3 red button coverage etc and catch as much as I can, recording the rest !

It used to be possible to go from the Pyramid to the Other Stage in about 5 minutes (bit more in mud) if you got a shift on, and a bit longer to the other biggies like Jazz/World, but Fluffy is absolutely right, these days you need to allow 20-30 mins to get from A to B just because of all the other people moving about the site with the larger admissions now. It can take 20 minutes just to walk around the edge of the Other Stage field now! There's a really nasty couple of bridges on the shorter router between the two that just turn into massive pinch points even though they've already been widened

I am defintely going to see Prodigy, Kasabian, Dizzee Rascal and White Lies. Those 4 are non-negotiable for me. I saw Prodigy in Manchester in April and have seen them about 5 times now- they are amazing live. I also saw Dizzee support them and he's great live too.
