Last years lineup was amazing. It was something away from the typical festival lineup; same overhyped and undertalented idiots. Fair enough there were a few questionable choices down the list (Mika) but there was consistently good bands throughout every night. (leonard Cohen, Battles, BJM... even babyshambles played well). The lack of the 'flavour of the month' pop bands kept the idiots away and made a much more relaxing festival with actual music fans not sheep. So really just hope they havent set a precedent for the rest of the lineup with these 3 announcements............................................ Oh and paul Weller isnt headlining

last year wasn't that bad if u think Morrisey sigur ros and the surprisingly good Gnarls Barkley all did good shows and tbh morrisey is better than Weller and KOL are good but I'd take sigur ros over them any day franz are a band i do wanna see though but i'm hoping for them at Glastonbury 09
