Is it me or is Glastonbury getting worse ?
I have just read that Neil Diamond and Leonard *Wrist Slitting" Cohen are gonne be top of the bill at this years Glastonbury Fest, along with Jay Z & Kings of Leon.
I cannot believe that Mr Cohen & Mr Diamond are still alive let alone performing at a festival, somehow I can't see a mad rush for tickets to see the likes of these 2, but then it could explain the reason why people get high at Glastonbury |

I quite like Kings of Leon although I have no idea why Jay-Z wants to perform there , oh I know.....maybe it'll make people notice that a different act is on the stage.

Neil Diamond is a legend and will be amazing.
Kings of Leon and Jay-Z are pretty piss poor for headline acts though. Kings Of Leon are nowhere near big enough to headline. |

I love the Kings Of Leon, but 8 months ago I saw them at a 2500 capacity venue, hardly big enough to headline Glastonbury.

Jay-Z not worthy of headlining? The guy has sold sold in excess of 100 million records worldwide, I'm surprised he wants to go to Glastonbury.

It's turning into a bit of a cheese-fest, headliner-wise. And it's lost Lost Vagueness...

Too many treat festivals as a trendy badge of honour now imo.
Its all about going to and being seen to go to Glastonbury etc, instead of a love of the music. |

Neil Diamond is doing the slot, previously filled by Shirley Bassey and Neil Diamond, so you know what to expect in that slot. And I believe The Verve are the other headline act, not Leonard Cohen, although he is due to play.

They're just trying to renew the festival, I guess, but Jay Z is a really odd choice for a headliner. Perhaps in the US it'll have been different, I dunno... |

Still, I'll be there as usual, who headlines doesn't matter a great deal, it'll still be Glastonbury and there'll still be about a million things to see and do. |
