    Glasto gets the balance. They have had Stormzy, Kendric Lemar and such headline. Very much away from the mainstream/nostalgic.

    You may be right.

    I just thought this year, particularly the headline acts, was predictable and dull but the media contributes to that. It doesn't help when Rick Astley, Blondie, Pretenders, Cat Stevens get so much attention.

    I seem to be the only one that thinks Glastonbury has been crap for years now.

    If the BBC announced that they are going to play Elton John's Glastonbury set next Sunday night, 'prime time' let's say, 8pm until 10pm, I reckon it would draw a viewing audience of over 10 million, based on not only his amazing gig, but also because of all the rave reveiws throughout the last two days...

    And, I'm so confident, that I reckon it WILL actually be repeated sometime before, or even at Christmas time this year.

    I’ve always wanted to go but never got the chance, caught the last few on tv which has told me, at almost 50, I probably shouldn’t bother! Unless Maiden or Zeppelin are headlining!!!

    Dual Lipa has a nice arse but she's doing nothing different to all those similar artists who've proceeded her ...

    ... and Paloma Faith that high up the bill ffs, doesn't even have a nice arse <laugh>
