joe should headline glastonbury (Page 1 of 2)

Other than the town in Connecticut, I've never heard of Glastonbury.

its britains biggest festival.120,000 usually go to it(might be wrong on that amount)they always claim its the biggest in the world,though I have my doubts.its full of chart rubbish and loads of other types of stuff,most of which I hate.world music and that sort of stuff.

are you serious? First post on here and a bit of bad language and slagging things off! - This year at Glasto: Robert Plant....Metallica.....Jack White.......The Black Keys......Kasabian......Elbow.....Kaiser Chiefs....The Blues Band.....Dr Feelgood....

Over the years: Hawkwind, Traffic, Bowie, The Kinks, T-Rex, The Who, Van Morrison, The Black Crowes, Radiohead, REM, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen,

The lineup is anything BUT mainstream, - it does probably better than any other festival play every type of music. It gives a platform to many bands to step up their popularity. To just dismiss it as you have is not factually correct. It is a massive festival that sells out in minutes EVERY year without ANY of the acts being announced, - Micheal Eavis (organiser) has done more for live music than anybody else I can think of, - he is a man who will and has taken many risks over the years.

...and Joe has been shown on TV before, - quite a few times, - The London Calling festival a couple of years ago.

- And have a look at the demographics for Joe’s audience and those that go to Glastonbury, - whist as a festival it does still manage to attract all ages, it is largely a hippy young person festival, - have you been to see Joe live? Half the audience have prostate problems so need an interval to dash to the toilet! I really can’t see us lot coping with sharing portaloos in a field, can you?

Glastonbury is an interesting place, - thought by some to be the original Isle of Avalon, home to Merlin, - a lot of history and myth to the place:

I have never heard of it but what do I know about what's going on in the UK?
A lot of those headliners don't sound too bad to me.
Outside of Joe what would suit your fancy Manticore?You say the acts are all rubbish.be interesting to put a large festival together and be in charge of lineup.(fantasy question)
And also welcome to the forum!

That's quite a list.Bet everyone would have a lot of different bands if they were in charge.

Bruce Dickinson is quoted in today's Daily Telegraph newspaper saying that Iron Maiden won't play Glastonbury because it is too "middle class".
Lester.

BB King, Buddy Guy and Seasick Steve are the blues artists who've played the main stage, but none as headliners. It might benefit his exposure, but he would be well down the bill.

..........and you can't get more middle class than The Daily Telegraph so it's ironic that he should be quoted in that newspaper.
