Looks like a really good bill, highlights for me are:
Roger McGuinn
Gong
Crosby Stills and Nash
Steve Hillage Band
Fairport Convention
Lonnie Liston Smith
Eat Static
Spinal Tap
And subject to there not being a clash with anything else, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band :)
I hope I can catch some of the music this year!
Yo Beechy,
I know the rest, but who are 'Eat Static'? :)
I hope you have fun amongst all those unwashed hippies :eyebrows: ;)
Marco.

Ray Davis
Neil Young
Lily Allen
Tinariwen
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Madness
Echo & The Bunnymen
Kahled
Penguin Cafe Orchestra ?
Admit it - you're really going to see Rolf Harris aren't you?

I hope the good old BBC cover these bands when they play. Their coverage of Glastonbury is not always comprehensive, hopefully they will be included. Pretty Please with sugar on top....

:lol: Rolf is a bit avant-garde for me Barry. I'm more of a Keith Harris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P-5VgxpWG8) fan myself!
Neil Young and Nick Cave may end up on my list as well. Funnily enough though I'm a fan of Nick Cave's spoken word stuff more than his music (And The Ass Saw The Angel is a brilliant book, and brilliant on his spoken world LP of the same name). I like Neil Young with CSN&Y - perhaps they'll get together? 'Woodenships' is an all-time fave... :)

Same here, Neil. Knowing my luck I won't be able to see some of these, and I really want the McGuinn and Fairport stuff on tape, amongst others :)

My festival days are long since gone. These days I only attend concerts in London and of those most of them are classical, such as the 'Proms'.
Whoever you get to see/hear, I hope you have a good time!

It's been nearly a quarter of a century (!) since I went to Glastonbury ('85 year of the BIG mudfest, never ever again) and it looks like some of this years' acts were on then:lol:
Hope all those who do go have a great time and the weather gods smile on you.
Cheers

Cheers Ralph! This will be my ninth in a row I think. :)
Here comes the rain.... :doh:
Here comes the rain.... :doh:
It's wall to wall blue skies and sunshine here in the County Palatine of Lancaster, I shall perform my shamenistic ritual rollerblade cerimony and send the sunshine to Worthy Farm, just hold on and tune into the vibes...:smoking:
Bizarrely, it's working. Rain gone, sun shining (but the clouds are still hanging around)

What do you mean bizarrely, surely you never doubted my shamenistic abilities... anyway glad it worked, I can take these rollerblades off now, my feet are killing me.
:lolsign:
Hang on to those sunshiny vibes and here's hoping everyone has a great weekend,
:smoking::smoking::smoking:

It rained for about 10 hours straight overnight. Now it's just a light shower. Typical weather for Glasto! From your local onsite correspondent :)
On a scale of 0-10 on the stink-o-meter, how vomit-inducing and putridly rancid are the toilets this year? :lol: :eyebrows:
;)
