Glastonbury 2025

Brothers bar is grim yeh. I've not had a drink there in 20 years. Or since the little jugs of perry whenever that was.

WH Bar other side of the field is solid. Centre of the fest, rarely gets maniacly busy. Evenings in particular are a doddle.

Still Ill · 05-03-2025 06:44PM

Rumours of the line-up being announced tomorrow morning.

Still Ill · 06-03-2025 08:08AM

Here it is

Wooderson · 06-03-2025 08:15AM

AArgh.

SoundOfSilence · 06-03-2025 08:29AM

Absolutely shite. Worst lineup I can remember.

TheIrishGrover · 06-03-2025 08:32AM

Now….. Will that guy please SHUT… THE… F*CK… UP about the 1975?

Acosta · 06-03-2025 08:46AM

A few things I'd go to, but not too good overall. Big festivals are struggling to find decent headliners these day's.

add in glasto not paying artists properly it always going to come to this

thebronze14 · 06-03-2025 09:03AM

Yeah that's not hectic. Load of things I would go to but not great compared to other things. Deftones are a random one!

The Nal · 06-03-2025 09:07AM

Tis ok. A few little gems.

1975 though. Yuck.

Stillill42 · 06-03-2025 09:29AM

Yeah, almost feels like just another festival. You know, a great lineup for a normal, mortal festival but gone are the days where I'm clutching my brow in disbelief at the array of riches on offer.

Wooderson · 06-03-2025 09:36AM

Denegrating this line up in 2025 is madness. Its packed to the gills with quality. Prefer 1975 to Coldplay.

Tbh thats been the case for a good few years now.

Im the problem in a lot of way. Have seen Macca twice now at Glasto, The Who similar, Neiler before etc.

Lots and lots there though for some 18 year old going to their first Glasto.

number of festivals have exploded in last twenty years so it’s now one of many and does punch above its weight

Probably the aging process.
I'm old enough to have seen people transition from huge Glasto fans to sceptics/detractors on numerous occasions.
I adopted the attitude long ago, 'tis what it is' find what you enjoy, imbibe drug of choice and enjoy. Shite, shower and shave and get up and do it all again on the Saturday, ditto Sunday.

Dreamweapon · 06-03-2025 10:06AM

It may not be thrilling but it is solid. I could make a weekend out of that and there's still loads more to be announced.

Theres a couple "thrilling" line ups a decade.

This aint one of them, but on the other hand it is prolly the best festival lineup on the planet in '25.

Stillill42 · 06-03-2025 10:17AM

All fair enough lads. Finding the shock and awe as a 54 year old is getting tougher.

Wooderson · 06-03-2025 10:22AM

I can see a dozen per day i'd enjoy. Couple there are unmissible. Very envious I don't have ticket.

Still Ill · 06-03-2025 10:32AM

Plenty there for me too with loads more to come. Will spend the next few days checking out the acts I'm not familiar with. John Fogerty could be very special on the Pyramid in a kind of Saturday Legends slot.

I'm not going, and while it is not 2009 levels of amazing, there is plenty there I'd be happy with. Glastonbury remains the most stacked and diverse festival lineup of the year.

Wooderson · 06-03-2025 12:15PM

2009 not going to be repeated anytime soon.

06-03-2025 12:57PM

Very happy with that, 37 acts for me and loads more to be announced. Plenty for the kids, the oldies and those in between. The idea that they're somehow skimping on acts by not properly paying them, as suggested by one poster, is patently absurd. Are Olivia Rodrigo, CharliXCX & The 1975 not pretty enormous global acts.

Already I've got Neil Young, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Anonhi & the Johnsons, Leftfield, English Teacher, Sprints, Beth Gibbons, Burning Spear, Goat, The Selecter, Black Uhuru, The Prodigy, Nick Lowe, Billy Bragg, Osees, John Fogerty, Rod Stewart (supposedly with the other two surviving Faces), Amyl & the Sniffers, English Teacher, CMAT, Franz Ferdinand, Supergrass, Father John Misty, TV on the Radio, Gary Numan, Cymande, Maccabees, Weezer, Ezra Collective, Scissor Sisters, Vieux Farka Touré, Kneecap, Caribou, St. Vincent, Libertines, Chic, etc. Many I've seen before, some not but this is a very varied and excellent first announcement for me. Acoustic, Leftfield, Avalon and others will add a lot more plus some surprise guests. The weather holds and this'll be a goodie.

Mushy · 06-03-2025 12:59PM

Looking forward to.the BBC coverage, Friday night be lovely with Biffy tearing it up.

Casual beers for Deftones will be lovely, let alone Uncle Neil and John Fogarty in there.

I reckon there are a good dozen acts there that you'd pay to see in Dublin this year, with the same number to follow. The Pyramid yields little for discerning music fans and the posters are always skewed towards that. The fun is to be found at West Holts, Park, Woodsies, Acoustic, etc. For me no better lineup elsewhere this year.

I'll get ya there someday man.

MadYaker · 06-03-2025 01:25PM

For me that’s a much better first poster than we got for the last 2 years. There’s loads there I’d go and see, about 15 names by my count and normally most of the stuff I want to see is on the posters from the smaller areas. Time to book flights is suppose!

Yeah. Man, I spent so much time at The Pyramid that year: Bjorn Again (Funny 'cos I hate ABBA), The Specials, Neil Young. Remember being in the pit for Spinal Tap. Big roar before they came in as these two guys came in dressed as druids wielding 18' Sone'enges above their heads. They went to the back of the pit, put them down and stood on them as they were covered stools. Genius. Springsteen banged out song after song after song. Tom Jones, Madness, Nick Cave (Remember him saying at the time - Michael Jackson des that morning - "A great legend in the entertainment industry died today. Here's to you, Farah Fosset". Lady Gaga on The Other "Oh, she's the one with that song…"

As for this year, not a headliner year for me. Great. There are some strong other acts there alright.
