Pete Doherty and Carl Barat should kiss and make up and play some old Libertines classics. Kylie Minogue at Glastonbury? lame...

i have to comment again on how poor this line up is. i slept on my comment from yesterday and thought i would go back to this page and double check the line up and see if theres any bands worth camping for 5 days in the rain for and im still going to say...No. its like the 'good' bands of last year with some more average bands. last year i saw bloc party, arcade fire, arctic monkeys and the cribs all in one afternoon. Will Young? pass me a bucket.

Christ, this is one of the best Glastonbury lineups i've heard in a while, just beacuse most of you guys are so far stuck up your own arse about your music taste, just beacuse it isnt lots of 2 bit new indie bands that people will like for about 10 months before they become popular and uncool to listen too. CSS, Jay-Z, The verve, Massive attack, KoL, Fatboy Slim, Pete doherty. Some of the biggest, best artists around. And just beacuse a hip hop artist is headlineing don't go crazy, as you said, its a 'music' festival, not a Indie one.
