The bands are o.k, but not really headliners!

the verve will be immense - the perfect way to end the weekend. 100,000 people singing bittersweet symphony... can't wait.

KOL are the best live band i've ever seen, they'll be amazing!

Big bone for a little dog? it could have been Kylie, and there's no way she could carry a big bone!

what an average line up- went to see kol in Manchester- they were dull!

more like 100,000 people moving their heads around with a fag on their lips to the rythms of slide away and gravity grave

but I agree, average line-up when you expect RHCP or Radiohead

These are not top quality headliners. The Verve are OK but the other two? Come on Michael you should be doing better than this.

KINGS OF LEON was one on my wish list realy worried about gettin a ticket now was lucky last year cant miss it

Not too bothered about KOL or The Verve but can't wait to see Jay-Z. MINT
Posted by Ben at 04:12PM | February 9, 2008
Jay Z ! I was hoping for Led Z !!!!

anyone who is doubting KOL doesnt know what they are talking about. I went to Glasto, Reading and V last year and KOL were the best of all the festivals.
and eki..."but I agree, average line-up when you expect RHCP or Radiohead"
I saw RHCP at Reading last year and they had nothing. Performed there songs well but gave nothing back to the crowd. they looked like they didnt care.
Kings of Leon will blow glastonbury away. Good choice Michael.

I know Michael Eavis was trying to appeal to a "younger audience" (who doesn't these days) but this is a poor line-up for headliners.
If I was trying to get a ticket for Glastonbury, after seeing this line-up, I would'nt bother!.

how much are the tix over there then?
the verve would be better preaching "the drugs don't work" to 100,000 wasteheads on a sunday night i'm guessing..take 'em the following weekend
Posted by dodgeroz at 03:33AM | February 13, 2008
Kings Of Leon definately deserve the slot.
Last Yr at reading they fuckin owned evryone and were easily band of the weekend
their the best band around at the minute fully deserve it just like arctic monkeys did last yr
and as for the bloke hu wanted radiohed
hu the fuck wants to hear some twat singin about bein a creep when there wasted. There songs r so downbeat, there so shit. MOST OVERATED BAND EVER!

Glastonbury is rubbish anyway, Eavis treats the punters like sods now. It's getting too earnest now.
