Wheel out the pensioners instead of putting faith in young up and coming bands. There's a sound long term business strategy................NOT!

Brilliant! It's The Who's weekend then! Unlike the Stones, they'll walk away with it!

No wonder British rock music is dead if they have to keep going back in time to get headliners.

So it is not true that the Great British music lovers won't get fooled again?

Seems like an unusual choice considering they headlined the final night only eight years ago. Fair enough if they had released a bunch of popular new stuff since, but that hasn't happened.
The lengthy delay in announcing this makes me wonder whether there was someone else lined up but it just didn't materialise? |

I'm not sure up and coming bands could be headliners....would they get the audience?

What young and upcoming bands do you consider apt to close a festival on the scale of Glastonbury

There are no new bands that come close to The Who.
It's also possible it could be their last show. |

Thanks - I thought the 50th anniversary tour was over by then.
they were due in Paris Glasto weekend { 28th and 29th June } so something strange has taken place as its claimed ' that was planned in advance ' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-32613712 so someone somewhere has been playing games Do you have a Glasto ticket ? I work at it now - This will be my 30th Glastonbury { going back 36 years so have not missed any since 1979 } it will be a rerun of the Stones - people trying to reach the pyramid area were being diverted to the back field { north of the pyramid area } - lucky as I have a GFL crew pass I was able to walk straight in but many people just could not reach their friends - makes sense really as it was very crowded - have never seen it so busy - some of my friends had waited from noon - stuff that - I may like the Stones but there is no way I would wait that long. |

I was aware of this yesterday and I too was convinced that their 50th anniversary tour had come to an end last year. Obviously not
