Kylie Minogue
Kylie was to have closed the Festival

Coldplay, White Stripes and New Order confirmed for Glastonbury

Michael Eavis has confirmed that the White Stripes and New Order will play at this year's Glastonbury Festival.


Kylie Minogue's record company has confirmed that she has had to pull out of her headlining set at Glastonbury, after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

You can read more about the news by clicking on the link on the right.

After Michael Eavis' original announcement, we asked what you thought about Kylie playing at Glasto and who else you would like to see at Worthy Farm. You can read a selection of your comments below.

"Those people who might come along on Sunday to see Kylie Minogue might not enjoy New Order or the White Stripes, so we have something for everyone."
Michael Eavis in the Wells Journal

There had been much speculation that the Australian pop princess was to appear, but Michael Eavis let slip in February - months before the official line-up announcement was made - that it was more than just a rumour!

In an interview with a reporter from the Wells Journal, the Glastonbury guru also confirmed that the White Stripes and New Order would be playing.

"Those people who might come along on Sunday to see Kylie Minogue might not enjoy New Order or the White Stripes, so we have something for everyone," he told Journal reporter Christian Lockyer.

The Wells-based journalist told BBC 6 Music: "He realised he'd let the cat out of the bag and said, 'Oh damn,' or words to that effect, 'I shouldn't have told you that,' and tried to persuade me not to publish the story."

For full details about the line-up, follow the link at the top of the page.

The Festival, which takes a break next year, takes place at Worthy Farm from Friday 24 June to Sunday 26 June 2005.

Dooby
ANECHOIC - Saw them support embrace - brilliant

swinny
velvet revolver for some kck-ass rockin pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!

ross
would like to see grandaddy, beck, i monster. i think kylie would be good fun, whats wrong with a bit of pop?

Ben Dallimore
Excellent! Kylie will be great live. I love her new material. New Order I am also very pleased about as they have been a group I have always been very fond of and I am very keen to see them live and I simply cannot think of a better place to see them but Glastonbury. I am sure they will be awesome! Good choice Michael!

Dani
Razorlight and The Killers definately

PAUL JUBB
Would like to see Paul McCartney & Oasis, Live at Glastonbury.

Ryan
Kylie will be fine - some fluff to end a weekend of decadent fun! would love to see Radiohead again though, the Stones, Kaisercheifs or Tyro Cartel. Classic old, or future greats should be the order fo the day! can't wait though!!

Si
Why does Kylie have to sing. Wouldn't a great big poster do?

chloe b
im not so sure about kylie taking centre stage at glasto, shes not your typical glasto performer, and its not like shes up and coming, shes been around for years! but on the other hand good on eavis for expanding his audience, but really there are enough fans already!! anyway we will see how glasto fans receive her! cheers chloe in devon.xx

Gezzer
I think Glastonbury is not just about the music, is all about the experiance and the magic of the place which makes it so specail. So what if Kylie is playing, if you are not in to her music, then there are like 10 other stages to chose from, and something there which will suit your taste in music

Amanda
Dont really think Kylie is very glastonbury but then again wasnt looking forward to Rolf Harris but he went down a storm. Looking forward to New Order and would love to see The Killers and Kasabian.

Brian Forrest
Kylie is more fitting than robbie, good for the atmosphere. Underworld on the other stage mind you would be more my cup of tea!

Jude
That's the beauty of Glastonbury festival - diversity! Personally, I'd love to be seeing Radiohead, David Bowie or The Killers.

Terry
The Tears will rule Glasto; Kylie? What the f**k?

helen
i love all the choice in music so far but are scissor sisters going to be there or franze frediand

tobias cless
i,ve never seen s band from start to finish. i dont care who plays, for me its about far more than the music....

Dave c
I always thought the Pyramid stage on a Sunday was for the heavy rock acts like Muse and Skunk A? Kyle doesn't really fit into that bill.

woody
one word rammstein!!!!!!

ade
couldn't give a monkeys... no1 goes to glastonbury for the lineup coz its never announced b4 the tickets! c'mon lighten up you know its gonna be a mad week whoever plays! id like to see small green aliens at glastonbury please like the ones in toy story. safe.

CRAIG
Get The Layne down there, the best thing to come out of Wigan

Ceri
We need KILLERS, EMBRACE, COLDPLAY, THE BRAVERY, BRIGHTEYES, JAMES BLUNT, and GREENDAY 2 play glasto this year!!!!! ( i no i'm askin 2 much here!!!)

Spence
contempory arts festival? kylie is up there with the likes of robbie williams and madonna.. it is pop. and i don't think many people will appreciate her being at the festival. especially if she mimes like many other pop queens. only criticism is that it clearly is not contempory which is what glastonbury stands for. and the websites headline. it's a shame, i am glad i don't have the money to buy a ticket.

Five Years Running
I remember the darkness opening Glasto in 2003, they’re at Reading 2004. Scissor Sisters 2004, V two months later and this year, Oasis 2004, guess what V this year. Glastonbury will always lead the way and come 28/06/05 when were all back in the real world we will have experienced yet another classic Glastonbury first.

Marty
You sure this is Glastonbury and not T In The Park....?

alex
why on earth is kylie playing glastonbury? that just goes against the idea of the festival! we want real bands and live music, its such a fantastic festival, i think its a crap idea to let her play!!!

Felix Griffith
The vines should definatly play, i want to see more good rock at glastonbury it is going all poppy on us!!

dave wiseman
i think that kylie shouldn't be playing because i always imagined glasto as a place for musicians rather than lip sinkers

betty
would love to see the killers, kasabien and evil nine ... rock on!

Lau
Some great rumours about! Altho a bit dissapointed wiv White Stripes and Kylie...Dont get me wrong, I cant wait to see them...was just hoping for some good BRITISH bands to headline out greatest festival!!

Rory
The futurehead have to play alongside Bloc party and snow petrol

Dude man Dave
Pixes, Killers and Green day would be nice. Sure Kylie will put on a great show as she is such as lovely lady. Not sure i will be watching however but you never know

Lianne
The Streets, White Stripes

Dave
After seeing her live in Glasgow, Kylie will bring Glastonbury to it's knees!! She is going to rock!

Joe
would love to see Uriah Heep ,not to sure bout kylie hesdlining , would love to see sum of the old as well as the new to get a good mix

wacko jacko
open ur minds people! whether you like kylie's music or not...she creates a great show you are still going to have the best time of your lives!

harold
there's this awsome band no one knows called Global Hawk, you should get into them. totally.

pj
heh. thought it was a music festival for everyone and all tastes .If you don't want to see Kylie try one of the other 20+ stages!

sezrah
BECK, AC/DC.That would be my ultimate line up.

sarah gray
pants pants pants, get out of somerset!! we want decent singers like U2 or Embrace, rock on!!!

fred
KILLERS

garry
kylie not glatonbury material u2 should play

Liz
Kylie is ok, think she'll put on a pretty good performance, but would really love 2c PRINCE play the pyramid stage...

Dom
Kylie - whats going on!? the vines SHOULD be playing!

ped f
What a bunch of music snobs!! i've got no prob will kylie; but she'd day time material i think. for 80s retro give the bravery a go, but leave headlining to The Cure and New Order. Coldplay, Radiohead, The Strokes would all be cool, but best bands last year were randoms: My Morning Jacket and whoever closed the jazz world stage on the last night (dunno who they were, but they were amazing!!).

Ben (Manchester)
If i get tickets I wont be watching her but no doubt thousands will so each to there own-free's up the rest of the festival for a few hours which is a bonus-bring back Bowie, Morrisey, Ian Brown i say and lets all have a sing-along!!

Chuan
Gotta be the Killers! Please get em!

harriet
good theres something for everyone, radiohead would have been better!

Cass
Not really bothered about Kylie, I'd prolly just go watch something else :) Nothing against her, just never heard a song she's done I liked. Nine Inch Nails again plz ^^ Heard Garbage as a rumour...line up as it is isn't all that appealing to me...which is a shame as it's the last glasto for 2 years :/

gordon macintyre
burt bacharach neil young dick gaughan the dead incredible string band

robert
fed up of people claiming kylie is too mainstream for galstonbury when they are more than happy for coldplay to play, how alternative are they?she is no more mainstream than coldplay but i agree maybe not what i would expect/like from glasonbury.

Sam
I dont think Kylie shud be headlining on sunday really although im not too bothered because i will have a fantastic time anyway . Coldplay wud be excellent i'd also love to see Sonic Youth,Primus and Aphex Twin that im sure wud be cool. Im completely for any act that plays at Glasto cos it is the mother of all festivals and no single performance can ruin it!

matt
Surely Radiohead and Pearl Jam? To compare these with 'kylie' is a sin, and frankly glasto is no longer glasto when acts like kylie get in.

heva
who cares if kylies playing? if u don't like her, it isnt that big a problem, there will be plenty of other bands and acts!

Becca
I'd prefer more Kings of Leon than Kylie

Wad
shes fit, let her play

Hannah
Velvet Revolver!

Rob G
I saw kylie at her opening night in Glasgow, going on that, Glastonbury will be AMAZING this year!!! Cant wait!!!

miss k
kylie? wot? At glastonbury? no comment really. i wanna see the killers, the thrills, kasabian, the kieser chiefs etc but kylie???????????

Joe
Bloc Party Futureheads Libertines (unlikely)

Bimber & Brad
Courtney Love,the Pixies,the Chemical Bros (again-they were excellent in 2000).Oasis,Pearl Jam,Ian Brown...oh yeah,Nirvana & Alice in Chains. Seeyall @ the stone circle.

Beefcakes
GO! SYSTEM OF A DOWN!!! (i hope they play)

asdfasdfasdf
snow patrol, the killers, razorlight, red hot chilli peppers, the zutons, babyshambles, the kaiser chiefs, hot hot heat etc are great and not kylie

thom whitchurch
we need Jack Johnson. he isnt well known in the UK yet but he is a genius and a musical god. get him at glastonbury 2005

mikie
kylie? whats going on there? Green Day THE KILLERS and Kasabian, thats what is needed. The White Stripes aren't what i would call headliners! I was aiming to make this my first glastonbury but with this line up (coldplay and razorlite aside) i think it'll be 2007 when i think about going.

dan the man
THE BRAVERY PLEASE

tracie
scissor sisters,let's see them!

Charlotte...
Kylie?! Ok could have been worse- Rachel stevens. Could have been better- Gwen Stefani, bit more acceptable! Bring back Oasis! And Muse! Hopefully we'll see The White Stripes, The Killers, Scissor Sisters, Franz Ferd, Snow Patrol, Star Sailor, Goldfrapp, Basement Jaxx, Jet, Damien Rice... Supergrass would be good too!

GLASTO. VIRGIN
KYLIE?!! and what's this about no Muse? Should have made last year my first year. Thought GLasto would be good as it's not on in 06. :( disappointed

charlotte
if i wanted to see kylie i'd go to smash hits tea party in the park...

Phil
Why not? there's room for everyone at Glasto tho too many celebrity acts would kill the vibe. Though it doesn't really matter, I'd like to see the Secret Machines, Nick Cave, Rachid Taha, Low, Ali Farke Toure, Sigur Ros, Graham Coxon, Wayne Shorter, the Shins, Wire, Air, Neil Young, Beth Orton, Brian Eno, Tom Waits, Lee Scratch Perry, Bjork, Kraftwerk, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Gotan Project, Patti Smith, Mercury Rev, Lemon Jelly, Mogwai, Little Feat, the Congos, Deep Dish, JJ Cale, the Residents, M83,Peace Orchestra, Julian Cope, Jane Birkin, etc, etc, etc

Matt Blackburn
dont wanna see kylie?then dont,you always have a choice,i wanna see outkast,the roots would be amazin i'm sure too as they combine great hip hop with live instruments extremely well

Lucky
Would love to see Keane, Killers, U2, Oasis. Does anyone know when the lineup will be announced??

biff
bring on snow patrol, killers and the mighty razorlight

Melanie Stones
I think U2 should play at Glastonbury Festival

Adam
It will be great to see all these negative and ignorant people eating their words when they are blown away by Kylie at Glastonbury. She has never failed to put on an amazing live show and you never know what to expect with her. If you have never wanted to go to one of her concerts then this may give you a glimpse as to what you have been missing....

daffa
i want the KILLERS not kylie she cant sing live to save her life, also get the kaiser cheifs in and STARSAILOR

Big Ste
Kylie will be ok fr the sunday night, a bit dissapointin, but at least she'll put a downer on things so you dont feel as bad about going home !! Theres loads of new bands about, i hope they are given a chance, kasabian, the bravery, the kieser chiefs, and get some good rock bands again too ! tool, nine inch nails, system of a down would be good there too !!

Samantha
Kylie's pants, she can't even write her own songs and she's playing on my birthday with is a big disapointment! I'd like to see kasabian, babayshambles, ocean colour scene, futurehaeds, kaiser cheifs, the strokes, kings of leon, morrissey, the bluetones..... am i asking too much????

Paulie
I'm 4 The Music and Kings of Leon as well - and I fink its good kylie is ther 2. other pop people like robbie williams appear 2 get a little repsect from people who prefer proper music from time 2 time- so why not kylie as well. Also would like 2 see the Kills

Russell Kearns
i won't be watching kylie. i'd love to see Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Stereolab, Primal Scream, Death In Vegas and The Futureheads perform this year, but as long as i get tickets frankly i don't care who performs, theres enough stages there so theres bound to be something decent on one of the other stages, keep on rocking in the free world.....see you all there hopefully, peace and goodwill to u all

Ana
THE MUSIC, KINGS OF LEON ...THAT'S WHAT I WANNA SEE!!!

Fatcake!
Kylie and Glastonbury don't really go together :s

Jods
Not too bothered about seeing Kylie but bet the lads will!!! I'd like to see foo fighters or Linkin park,yay!!

Kylie, Rachel Stevens??
I'm gutted,..what's going on? Nothing more to say on the matter

Samwise
I can't see why Kylie can't play - glasto is a MUSIC festival and can therefore put on any tyope of music - if you don't want to see her, go to another stage - you might find you like something other than the pyramid stage! Up the Glade!

Sarah
You've got to love a bit of Kylie!

emily
I always thought glasto was a rock and alternative festival, now it seems that its turning so mainstream and pop. Nothing against Kylie just not really the right place!

music boy
THE MUSIC ROCK MY WORLD!!!!

ed haynes
commewrcially viable yes! Remember Meanfiddler have a lesser share, stay with us Emily.....dont forget the music, pleeese! (Tom Macrae or the Plump DJs) regards edx

lynsey perry
shes crap! get some real musicians up there like The Music,The Killers,Green Day.Need i say more?

helen
Where are 'The Killers' 'Kasabian' 'Foo Fighters' 'Razorlight' I could go on. Kylie not really Glastonbury material. Bless her though.

Life Is Loud
Wat About 'Velvet Revolver' and 'The Killers'!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Please Please!!!!

james dobs
yeah yeah yeahs would make kylie look a bit tame, bring em on please

ellie
i mean kylie is an alright lass but amoungst names like coldplay, new order and killers she doesn't deserve recognition.

Kcoo
Kylie is not Glastonbury material. I think Glastonbury has lost the true alternative vibe it had going on and has become more commercial. A big shame!!!

Jan
Kylie on th tele yes, but at glasterz, what is that eavis monkey doing? Coldplay @ Pyramid stage, now thats a gig.........

Anto
With the release of a new album, Coldplay should be a dead cert...

Tara Powell
Eminem

Staci
Since Wen has Glastonbury Bin purely about the Music...Everyone will have fun no matter who plays. My Nan coulkd get up and play the flute for half an hour and you'd all still have a good time...i doubt the fetsival will loose people just because Kylie will be there...She's a nice musician lets give her a chance xx

Vintage Black
I would be more than happy to have Kylie play in my tent, but leave the main stage for guitars and drums!

Susie
Kylie; bit mainstream and highpitched for glasto (?!)but then i wouldn't go to glasto to see a pop act..

Charlie
Kylie'd be ok at Glastonbury, just not on the main stage.

moler
whatever happened to u2 headlinign this year, they would definitely put on one of the best shows ever seen at glasto

Jon Burns, London
Seeming as Glastonbury started out as 'the Pilton Pop Festival', I dont see any problem with Kylie headlining the pyramid on the last night!! The fesival has always been known for throwing in the odd 'pop' act - think M-People, Robbie etc, and they all go down really well. If you dont want to see her, go to another part of the site for a whole host of different types of acts... The pyramid stage (although the biggest) isnt always the place to be, and the festival has so much to offer, so if you like her, see her (she is a great entertainer who puts on a good show). And if you dont, explore and have fun!... you wont be dissapointed!!!!!

Grover
I was kinda thinking of going, but without Muse, radiohead, REM, Oasis or the Chilli Peppers i dont think its worth the money. Even if Coldplay are there.

Joey
when is the official play list released?

it's glastonbury peeps, it's going to be amazing w
come on, look at all the amazing artist's that are going to be there: colplay, killers, and the rest! it's going to be AMAZING, i can't wait, sod kylie

fabulous
i think that kylie performing at glasto is a stroke of genius....im a person that has a really diverse taste in music, and as much as i love indie and rock bands, kylie will just add something unusual and surreal to the festival. it also says alot about her...having the confidence to actually appear there

Jon T
With you their Angry, all these pants trendy bands, and the talentless white stripes to add insult to injury, ugh, I'm yet to see a decent act announced.

John
Bring on Kylie glasto is for having fun and everyone has fun shakein there buts. Wouldnt mind seeing Gwen stefani though.

chech
I DONT REALY THINK kylie IS THE SORT OF PERSON WE WANT TO SEE. MORE OF THE KILLERS

Cathie
Can all the moaners please get a grip? Anyone who's ever been to glastonbury should know that it's not all about music you can easily spend the whole weekend eating amazing food, watching stand up, or hanging around the circus field to see some really mind blowing acts and never go any where near the pyramid stage!

HELEN
It could be Green Day, Red Hot Chili's, Snow Patrol, Radiohead... No its Kylie!!!!!! What's going on...

kelly
I don't think it will go down well i certainly won't be watching her if i get a ticket this year fingers crossed

angry
This has ruined my day. I cant believe that she is playing, let alone headlining. whay happened to having music at a music festival? I bet theyre gonna get the killers and zutons and razorlight ect.. i feel sick. i just want radiohead

Phil
You can not be seriusly keeping this joke going, i mean it has to be a joke, please tell me that this is just a mean joke, please!!!

Sally Larkin
It'll be great!! Robbie Williams was one of the greatest Glastonbury moments ever (I was there!) and people were snobby about that before it happened.

Chris
This festival will be NOTHING without MUSE!! How the hell can KYLIE BE PUT IN THE PLACE OF MUSE WHO ARE CLEARLY GODS AMONG MEN?!

Ben
Kylie,hmm,my girlfriends happy about it but i'm not to sure,bit poppy.Bring on The Killers,Coldplay.First choice though....Pink Floyd.

kt
AAARRRGGGHHH! Not Kylie! Greenday and the Killers

Stu J
Definitely not headline material. Put her in the field of lost blondeness....

Kath
I'm kind of disappointed that Kylie will be ending Glastonbury, it sort of feels like its giving way to the faceless pantheon of popiness, but to be honest, in the short term, it doesn't matter: there will certainly be someone good on somewhere else. On the Friday last year I wanted to see Oasis AND the Chemical Brothers AND the Levellers, so there's always plenty of choice (incedently I saw Oasis and was gutted cos they we rubbish and the Levellers were brilliant according to some friends. So the pyramid stage isnt always the place to be). The only way the Kylie playing is a disaster is if it begins a trend of pop princesses and comercialises Glasto into a teenybopperfest. But I don't think that's going to happen.

angela
i do not think that kylie is worthy of the pyramid stage, or glastonbury festival at all for that matter. please refrain from becoming even more mainstream than the past few years.

libby
hiya id really love 2 c coldplay there, that wud b kool!

Sarah
I like Kylie, I know she's cheesy but being a fan(ish) is my dark secret, everyone has to like at least one cheesy thing! I wanna see the Scissor Sisters and Faithless!

Steveo-----> Leeds....S.G.C for life!
Please Please Please... Get the Chili Peppers. They have the kind of energy inkeeping with Glastonbury... They ROCK!

graeme
kylie is the only reason to buy a ticket this year

colleen!!
kylie - yuck! but there's lots more 2 do! just by pass her to go where the the good music takes you!! also dont give her such an important time slot! i can see her on totp no need 4 glastonbury! plz!!!!!

Mattie
I'm there! Boogyings what Glasto is all about, what it was founded on, just think of the good vibes in that crowd! I admit, I'm not one for the commercial pop, but Kylie, come on people! She is the ORIGINAL pop, you can't get less plastic than that. Bit of glam never did anyone any harm.

Seagull
No, bring on the rock n roll, and id like the killers, bravery, muse, ordinary boys, kaiser chiefs and futureheads please

Babs
Phantom Planet!! please!!!

fiona
Get over yourselves! Kylie IS a pop princess - isn't that precisely why we'd want her there? Glastonbury specialises in eclecticism, and in broadening the horizons of festivalgoers - so broaden yours and go see one act you wouldn't usually! Anyway - there's thousands of kids at Glastonbury too, and my five year old loves Kylie!

Linum
Some of you sound like complete music snobs!!! What makes you think Kylie Minogue is any less credible than half the D-grade bands that are playing at Glastonbury. Mix it up people, have some pop, rock, dance ... MIX IT UP!!!

skoomer
not the last slot ....please

Philip Burgwin.
Kylie is a great choice - why not the cheeky girls and mr blobby as well? I thought Glastonbury was supposed to represent genuine real music - obviously not. I would not go even if it was the last music festival on earth.

Ana
My vote goes to The Music and Kings of Leon!!!!!

Simon, Preston, Lancs
I'm worried Glasto will be overcome with pop acts. I look to the festival scene to be the place where artistic merit rules all, not how good you look or how big your record company is.

Ed B
Kylie at Glastonbury??? not realy what Glastonbury is sopposed to be abbout, I ve spent all year trying to convinse my czech girlfriend that Glastonbury is a deep meaningfull event, not just another comercial pop rip off. I personally would like to see the return of the Prodigy, plus the likes of muse and the darkness.

Mimi
I didnt really think high maintenance plastic pop diva was really Glastonburys style. hmm.

Diarmuid Phoenix
Maybe on Sunday afternoon but please dont waste the Sunday headline slot......please

Al
Muse Radiohead, killers, athlete, bowie...PINK FLOYD come back pleeeeaaase!

Gemma
Rubbish. I'd like to see Prince in that slot.

Paul
Realy disappointed with the news that Kylie is playing. just not a good act to have, very pop. Personally id love to see The Who and the Rolling Stones. But that me.

Paul Grimshaw
Oh come on for heavens sake! I'm not a kylie fan at all but she has every right to play... i've been to glastonbury three times and you always see such a variety of acts and people! If you don't want to see her, don't go to her gig... god knows there be enough else going on!

rebecca
not kylie, please

Alan House
Is Kylie playing at Glasto not making it just another pop event? I suppose though, over the last five or so years Glasto has lost what it used to be. Perhaps now we will see far more children in the feilds. Not good.

Rebecca
Kylie is't realy the kind of person that you want to be seeing at glastonbury festival. However Oasis would be good to see again as they were brilliant last year! role on glastonbury 2005........

phil moody
gotta have the killers, phantom planet, sugarcult and yellowcard

athena bray
muse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

james
think its a bad idea most people there would prefer to see proper bands. glastonury isnt really about pop music.

charlotte
red hot chili peppers!

Philip Hodgson
Bowie should play glastonbury along with brian wilson and ringo starr.

Aine Bailey
r u avin a laugh!

umm
THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE PINK FLOYD

brrup bbup

katy pierce
new order,the killers,kings of leon,cold play the doves etc..yeah i supose it would be good if kylie plays everyone knows her stuff

badtania
this is just nasty, please don't let her do it. there are lots of places she can pipe out her tepid drivel. shes feeding off 'glastonbury' to give her some 'cred' or 'depth' PLEASE don't let her in SHES EVIL!!!!

gol
why not have kylie? its a lot more than the bands.fingers crossed i will get tickets to make this my 12th glastos.its great to wander around and see different acts you might not have the time of day for at home.there is always a band i mean to see dosen't always work out that way but i'm always far from bored BRING IT ON

jason
oasis were the best i ever seen at glasto so bring them back

Laura Newton
Kylie.....er no.

er
kylie is a good choise she will get a good crowd their is a good variety im going to v but goods line up. New order brilliant

suzie
kylie at glasto??wots the world coming to!! I wanna see th killers and greenday!!

Chizelle
Muse again BEST LIVE ACT IN THE WORLD!

sarah
GREEN DAY!!!!!!!!! Should be playing

Chris Johnson
The Princess of Pop could play any where in the world and she would still be fantastic.

Shaan Griffiths
i think it is a disgrace my dad has been going to glast since it started but this was the final straw and he now refuses to go.

Stac
Keane... The Thrills... What about Stereophonics??? They have been great this year!

Matt
Lets face it. its gonna be the best bit of *rse im gonna see all weekend. hope the cheeky girls will be there too.

CARLA
I DONT THINK KYLIE FITS THE WHOLE GLASTONBURY SCENE. SHE IS TO HIGH MAINTENANCE FOR THIS HER MUSIC ISNT REALLY SOMETHING YOU CRAVE TO HEAR WHEN LIVE!!!!

Ross Johnson
Chemical Brothers, Snow Patrol, Pixies, Primus, I think Kylie playing at Glastonbury is a terrible idea, I dont think she glastonbury material at all, but then again, what is

MANU
KYLIE!!! ???? WHO? OH PLEASE NOOOOOOOOO...... SYSTEM OF A DOWN, PLACEBO ANY TIME

web
i am torn, i def feel glasto is moving a bit far from its roots but kylie is cool and i would like to see some more DJ's in the dance tent bit of ferry corsten or sasha again prehaps!

julia
I can't believe they are allowing such a talentless individual to play at such a fantastic music event. Her place in the line up should have been given to an up and coming band who need the boost in their careers

Pixie
Kylie seems like a very strange choice? How does everyone think she will go down?

winner
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Mel Black
I think that Kylie Minogue does not deserve to be up on the piramid stage where Coldplay, White Stripes and Robert Plant once played. Hope Snow Patrol and Green Day are going!!!

tracy t
less Kylie, more Fountains of Wayne..

dmeister
lets have a bit of muse, the killers and franz ferdinand

robbie mcilroy
muse would be much better and i think that more peolpe would go to glastonbury

dale phillips
muse at glastonbury they rock

mieke
What kylie!!!! u must be joking get a bit of the old glastonbury back into it . . but am still definatly going to go.

Beth Wharton
I agree with Cassie she is cool but I feel that Glastonbury is getting too far away from its original intention

Adi
Jeeeesus Kylie Minogue????? What happened to the days of David Bowie, Roger Waters, Rolf Harris!??!?! Anything but this plastic shallow pop... Definately be giving that stage a big detour.

Nick
I think they should get Dave Matthews Band, they haven't played in Britain for years and are great live! Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Ben Folds, Radiohead and Bob Dylan should all play!! Kylie will be great at Glasto, its not just a rock festival it's a music festival!

Will
Kylie, whether you like her or not, will undoubtedly put on a great show. I look forward to her. How about seeing the Nine Inch Nails and the Prodigy, or Velvet Revolver!

AT LAST ! KYLIE AT GLASTO ! I AM HERE ALREADY

jim d
i think i wud be cool to see sumbody like that at glastonbury but i prefer razorlight the killers so hopefully may see them this year. I have never been before as i am only 14 but i am tryin my hardest to go this year!!!! wish me luck !!!!

Leigh
Kylie and Rolf duet???

poltsy
pink floyd all weekend, smokey man.

Cassie
She is pretty cool, but glastonbury's not really about pop music, people wanna c bands like the killers, chilli peppers oasis etc etc, im a bit put off by getting tickets this year, others years have had amazing bands!

Jenny
Why is everyone complaining? there are gonna be plenty of other amazin bands there, its not like kylie is gonna be the only act of the weekend.

RLS
Its a music festival any 1 should be able to play there, i am a local person and have going since i was 14 years old, and have many friends who take their children and are realy looking 4ward to seeing kylie. Kelly don't be so narrow minded !!!!!!!!!!!! Its a festival what would it be with out virity....

McFinger
The Who, Pixies, The Jazz Thieves (cool unsigned indie/alternative band), Flaming Lips, David Bowie! and...PINK FLOYD!

Herman
Anyone remember another Aussie legend hitting the Pyramid stage!?Yep,2002- Rolf Harris.What a scream that was and I reckon he endured the biggest crowd on that stage all weekend!Kylie,bring her on and watch the masses painfully laugh at her trying to sing Just as we did with Rolf!What a Glasto moment that was!Would love to see Charlie's from Busted with his new band, Even the nearby cows would fall over in hysterics there that bad!!!

Charli_
Where's the grunge?

sofe
NO!!! pop diva girly rubbish doesn't belong at glastonbury! (no offence)

Blondie
Looking at the rumoured line ups for V and Reading. I think i will be saving my money for one of those. Better value for money..!!

Justin
I think Pink Floyd would blow Glastonbury away by headlining saturday night

noella smith
i'd love to see manu chao again and Baka Beyond

Alice
Seeing Kylie at Glasto would be wicked!

Nic
will be good to see what she's like, but not as the closing act!

Richard Adams
what the hell, I accept kylie as a artist but she doesnt belong at Glastonbury. Looks like Eavis is trying hard to draw in the pop crowd. Bring back The Cure.

dave
i'll be there watchin but listening to my walkman.

Jordan
KYLIE?? naah not for me thanx, Doves will be great, we need Radiohead and Travis back.Oh and what about Kasabian,Snow Patrol and Zutons to go with them, Oh Yes Please!! lol

Graham
InFocus should be headlining Glastonbury!!!

Kelly
Kylie has no place at Glasto, More Chemical Bro's, Radio head, Coldplay Keane, Leftfield, Groove Armada, Massive Attack, Macy Gray, Prodigy!!! and Oasis.

JM
Beck The Dears

Nick
Kylie rules!!!! she is a complete pop legend, and she's only like 5ft tall.

harv
SHOULD HAVE CHILLIES.. THEY SO BADLY ARE THE BEST!! THERE BY FAR THE BEST... =D XD

Vicki, runcorn
Kylie has put me off wanting to go, too pop for me, would like to see Keane and Scissor Sisters X

chris
kylie?

kerri
i think the line up has gone down the drain, if the rumours are to be believed.. What happened to talent like bowie, radio head, bob dylan etc

Claud Jehu
I think having Kylie Minogue playing at glasto is a tragedy, no one wants that kind of pop trash at a festival with such a good reputation, please Evis, pull her out, she's pants.

trexo
yea Oasis at V, Kylie at glasto. let me think where my hundred odd quids goin.

hody
sure kylie's great but wouldn't it be good to see radiohead back !

Laura Wintle
I would like to see basement jaxx and groove armada x

Eavis is God
What are the organisers playing at? Do you really have to sell out like that?

simon
Kylie has a lovely bum but I can look at that on tv. Zutons, The Coral, Razorlight, and the list goes on. Just hope Franz are not there, they are the most annoying band on the planet right now.

Fran
I am going to boooooo kylie! what are they playing at. I want The Killers, Razorlight, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, the Hives and Greenday would be amazing!

dex
Pink Floyd...pleeeease

Adamski
I'd love to see the chili peppers or the killers headlining Glasto!

Vicky!
haha kylie would be great fun to see. I WANT.. BIFFY CLYRO, THE KILLERS, PLACEBO!

Ben Thornton
i think it is good cause it will draw diffrent kinds of pepole in but i think that they should get some bands like HIM,CKY big bands it would be cool

Aims
I think it's making the festival too commercial.

Suzanne
Up for Kylie, but what about the scissor sisters? think theyd be better for closing headline act

jo frm south wales
i think kylie will b great at this years glastonbury festival. theres something for everyone...

Melanie Presley
i dont really know what to say except i think kylie is the best

liz cawley
kylie appeals to a many people but for many more she is not what glasto is all about,there are many more artists who would be better such as rem,u2 and the chillies etc

kelly-jayne
id love to see keane

Mia
kylie is crap...what about franz ferdinand, the killers , kings of leon and classics like oasis, kylie's crap pop style music has never been the true glastonbury goer's scene!

Nina Swift
dont let kylie anywhere near!!! think the killers and the bravery should be there

Darryl
Is glastonbury ever going to be about good music again or an upper middle class day out.( how many people had sodding chairs last year- come on!)

weapon
Yes I like her arse. Oasis and Morissey would be cool.

Alice
Loved Kylie when i was 5 years old, now 21 and far more into Drum and Bass, Hip hop and love the Chilli's, Coldplay, Joss Stone, Foo Fighter's...but would still be there on sunday night, for nostalgic reasons... and prob love it!

Jon
Modest Mouse are superb, and there are thousands of people who'd love to see Bloc Party and The Killers... come on Mr Eavis!

Chris
Kylie/Radiohead/Kylie/Radiohead/Kylie/Radiohead.I think Glastonbury may need a break because it looksas if they need to sort out their line upto allow fantastic bandslike radiohead and keep Kylie on the T.V

Neil
It's cool that Glasto is continuing to have such an array of music stars on board for this years event. However, it's not like i'm gonna jump at the chance to see Kylie. If i'm lucky enough to get tickets, i'm more than likely to see who's on the other stages during her act. Anything more rocky and i'm there!

Keri
everyone knows the words to at least one kylie song don't they? she's harmless. you never know, you just might enjoy it. it'd be fab to see the kaiser chiefs and the streets. i just wanna have an awesome time.

Lorna Davies
I think it is ok that Kylie is playing at Glasto, I would like to see the streets, scissor sisters, maroon 5, embrace, coldplay and nas playing at the festival!

LEANNE
YEAH KYLIE WILL BE COOL, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SCISSOR SISTERS & VELVET REVOLVER

jackie cook
Glasto is more than just who is headlining but I personally think that Kylie would be better on the 6 o clock slot not closing the festy. Faithless or even Brian wilson closing would give one of thos 'Glasto Moments'

Mark
Last year muse closed glasto and were the best live act by far, this year Kylie's closing hmmmmmmm.I think the only way to match that is with someone like the Chilli's or Jet or U2!!!

JeniFur
Ridiculous - get her off the bill

Lisa in London
I'd love to see the Killers gracing Glastonbury this year! They're fantastic! Also - Maroon 5, Bloc Party and Hoobastank

Suzanne
Even non radiohead fans thought they where aweinspiring in 2003. They captured the whole audience. Could Kylie do the same without wearing hot pants??? It doesnt compare.

Clair
Glasto needs the Red Hot Chili's to rock the place! And the Foo's and the Killer's and a bit of Coldplay and Athelete. Can't imagine Kylie will be a great headliner!

JAE
Does anyone know if Kings of Leon might be playing. Their touring England around the same time and anyone whos listened to that spectacular second album - will be twice as keen as mustard to see em.

P
Don't really care about kylie but glad youngblood brass band are playing all weekend. go just to see them

Scott McGowan
I would like to see Kasabian, Zutons

Jess
Radiohead!plese please please!

Beth Eglintine
I lke Kylie So much And Yes I Think That Kylie Was FAB playing at Glasto

Pablo
Glastonbury is bigger than 1 artist, you don't have to see Kylie there's so much more going on!

Alan Cohen
I'm realy disapointed of this year main event, this is a historical spot for big rock bands and now you put the Australian Britney Spears thats realy bad couse we are going all the way from Mexico to see that pop bad performance as the main event, it should be U2 or Pearl Jam

Dan
hurrah! Kylie for glasto! she is a performer and damn good at what she does, just right for a festival like glastonbury

Hay
There's a time and a place for Kylie and this is not it! Glasto is about appreciating real music not someone singing along to a acking track!

Jamiroquai Pleeease
If Glasto was not about open mindedness then maybe the anti-kylie tyrades would be OK. She's not my cup of tea but my daughter will be thrilled. If Jonny Cash can headline on Sunday (94) then so can Kylie. Just do something else instead!

RHIAN, CARDIFF
NOT TO SURE ABOUT KYLIE. BRING ON WEEZER, PIXIES, FOO FIGHERS, GRAHAM COXON

Ed
I think it is good for some people but it should be on the smaller stages

mike d
be good to see kylie but bring on the killers!!

Stewart
Glastonbury is all about diversity so why not Kylie. I will of course be taking my kids to see her and will not look myself;-)

Johnny C
Kylie, Hmmmm I dont think so

Peter K.
Of all the years I pick to go to England to see the festival I have to say I am disappointed with the initial lineup. No offence to Kylie but I expected something else that is "Glastonbury".

homer_jay
where r the killers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kloe
i think kylie will be mintage 4 glsto, but she shudnt headline!! the futureheads shud be there! and hard-fi and THE BRAVERY

Re
Kylie is to 'pop', glasto is about music

WEE SMOKIE
KYLIE MINOGUE? NICE ON THE EYE BUT TOUGH ON THE EAR. THINK SHE SHOULD STICK TO CD:UK !!

Jimmy Page
wot is Kylie doin' at glato, AND headlining!

Ginner
Radiohead, Muse, Hope of The States, Coldplay, The Killers (please), If Kylies playing Pyramid Stage Sunday Night Then I imagine I'll be standing in front of the other stage. She's not a good headline for such a prestigous festival, she's got her place but we come for the music, great as her arse might be.

savage
i'd rather have U2 play since i couldn't get any tickets for their tour!!!! Kylie at glastonbury.....whatever.....doesn't really fit!!!

louise
kylie is so bad what are they thinking

Rose
Slightly surprised that the V line up looks better than Glasto this year... but, its about the whole experience isnt it? Watch Kylie, or dont, the whole weekend will still rock! Heres hoping i get a ticket...!

Hobgoblin
I'm going to see American Head Charge soon but don't have a prob with Kylie playing Glastonbury, that's what it's all about...

Jet Page
By inviting the likes of Kylie the organisers are opening the floodgates to the masses, something we can do without, as tickets are hard enough to get without competing with the likes of people who enjoy her short of, dare I say music! I personally go to Glastonbury to escape from middle of the road dross that pollutes our airwaves and TV screens all year round, what ever next her sister maybe? Or Elton John singing a medley of songs form South Pacific...Computer Says No!! Give us what we what, Elbow, Killers, Snow Patrol, Doves, Muse, Kasabian and Girls Alound (Yeah Right).

Simon
So what if Kylie's there. she is better than bloody snow patrol. White Stripes will be good, bloc party as well. Get the Kings of Leon and QOTSA

anna + jess
QOTSA QOTSA QOTSA QOTSA! THE FUTUREHEADS THE FUTUREHEADS! KAISER CHIEFS KAISER CHIEFS KAISER CHIEFS!

anna + jess
RADIOHEAD RADIOHEAD RADIOHEAD MUSE MUSE MUSE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE! Do it...

anna + jess
We think its terrible, she is not a Glastonbury artist. we want the killers and radiohead!

Lay
why not? life is an experience just add this one to the list.!! Dont knock it till you've tried it..!! Green Day they put on a quality show..

Alan
Bloc Party, The Futureheads and The kaiser Chiefs to headline the whole weekend...

kayleigh taylor
kylie sucks we should be able to watch decent bands such as franz ferdinand maroon 5 or you know anything else insted of la la la really! kylies done her time!

deany
it is rubbish and i hope she gets droped of the line up

gina spiteri
god i hope so she can put on a great show that's whats great about glastonbury some think for every one

Hannah
Who cares if Kylie'S there, she's just one of the artists! but I would luv a line up like...snow patrol, the killers, white stripes and many many more top bands!!! It'll be my 1st year there (if I can get a ticket) so.....BRING IT ON!!!

The boy
yeah.. ok.. but just nic fanciulli playing Kyle remixes

Old Timer
There is to much going on at Glastonbury to worry about one headliner. Kylie will be awesome. Where else will glasto fans see her? Certainly not at the N.E.C Arena with all the 12 year olds. Pyramid stage will be packed, mark my words. Kylie has a 10 year plus career, she is no flash in the pan! Look how Robbie turned out after his 1998 Glasto debut. Get with the programme and stop being musical snobs.

ben march
Kylie will be cool. Glasto is about more than the music. Theres enough variety for everyone.All you moaners are just lucky to be there.

bex
she'll ruin it, snow patrol wud be good

jodie
i'm not really bothered, as long as the venger boys aren't there. killers, ian brown..

Chris, Bristol
At least they've not put her on Fri or Sat. Need one huge name, U2 spring back to mind!! Get the designer welly ppl off our land

Ciaran
Not sure Kylie's every/any (delete as appropriate) ones cup of glasto tea. Modest Mouse are more than worthy!

Leo
for god's sake, Kylie Minogue at Glasto, what was Michael Eavis thinking, next we'll be seeing s-club juniors or something similarly cringe-making. why not The Bravery, Interpol, The Killers, Bloc Party, Doves etc.?

Becky,London
I think it would be criminal not to have QOSTA play this year. As for Kylie, I think that she should stick to Top Of The Pops.

Peter K
I'm still a big fan of the Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Faithless, Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada, Moby. I would love to see them there though I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery. Leftfield ,even though they are no longer , would be awesome. Eminem , Outkast and Kid Rock would be cool too. Wishful thinking to all.

Tina Robson
No disrespect to Kylie but Glastonbury is not the kind of place you would expect to see her perform. Isn't Glastonbury about peace & talent (people that write & play their own music? what does Kylie write or play?) Couldn't you get Coldplay instead? PLEASE....

mc
kylie... wot a lady.. if shes up for it, so am i.... lay off you hardened rock, yeh i do the mosh pit fools, lets face it... its gonna be fun.

Jon T
I BEG you to announce some decent bands for this years lineup, How about Basement Jaxx again?? Something classic? Jesus christ, Kylie? I'm am literally on the verge of tears- and i still havn't heard any decent artists/bands announced yet. does anyone have a decent list?

Chris
Bring on Queen! They are touring this year with Free singer Paul Rodgers. Lets see 'em!

Ruthless
KYLIE ROCKS- its about time she entered the glasto hall of fame!! She is a top Pop Princess and seeing her will be ace.

Chris Rockokoko
Brilliant! Its a bit of eye candy for the boys & some classic pop for the girls. Bring it on!!

Mel
I think thats a bad idea, Kylie is too pop. Bring on Snow Patrol and Green Day!!!

Gemma
I've got no problem with Kylie. But I really would like to see Prince! I remember reading in the on-site paper in 2003, rumours that he was booked for the following year.

ska
i think babyshambles defo.. common talk about real music!!.. kyle's a waste of space, they should have the kaiser chiefs all the way! does anyone know when the lineup will be announced..?

mofo62
u222222222

me
put on radiohead

*Sophie*
Muse rocked lst year let some good bands play, not Kylie

rob
THE STROKES!

Chris Holmes
Some quality dance music would be nice. The big acts last year (Orbital, Baement Jaxx, Chemical Brothers) were awesome. It would be nice to see the same quality but more quantity this year

Holly
Let the bravery have a go!

victoria
dreadful line up, like a teenage concert. I suppose girls aloud and Blue will also be on the list

james b
Put me off going!

noa
who cares about her music? I'll be at the front mate, with a QUALITY view!!!

adam, london
not sure about kylie as a glasto act. looking forward to the killers, bloc party and kasabian. would like to see the futureheads and the bravery.

Francesca Riccardi
I will NOT be watching Kylie at Glastonbury. What a waste of a Sunday headliner. If the festival is taking a break next year I would have expected a much better headliner.

brenton
cool for kylie but i want the killers

katie denham
i think kylie should get off and do sumfink else

libertine
Kylie....oh dear.bit of a festival veteran myself, an she is one head liner i WONT be watching! roll n babyshambles!!!!!!!

Dave Clissold
I was at last years festival and we were reading interviews with both Michael and Emily Eavis confirming that U2 were to headline this year what has happened?

Clare Mc
Kylie will be tops at Glsto! Put some more pop stars on so that more people decide not to come... More chance of a ticket for me! I'm praying for Snow Patrol, The Killers, Scissor sisters and Cat Empire. Fingers Crossed!

annie, somerset
Kylie's cool but how about Natasha Bedingfield and really make my day with WILL YOUNG! Would love to meet him.

nidge rotherham
kylie,not in the final slot maybe knocking me a bacon buttie up ye . bring back dylan and neil young,what about getting in touch with floyd for a one off

kate
Sure, why not? might be fun Radiohead The Pixies Someone who gets the crowd going, involved. Prodigy would def do that! The Talking Heads defo! The Killers, though they are def not big enough 4 glasto!

Phil Collins
I think Hundred Reasons should be headlining, get Colin and the hair on the Pyramid Stage!

Jude
love kene, kylie's cool though, i'd also like to see radiohead

louise
rubbish

lindsey/kerry
kylie at glastonbury, wheres the rock and roll!!!! need some proper artists like Rolling stones, franz ferdinand , green day any one but Kylie. Cant wait for the other bands though!!!!

georgia
i think its awesome that shes playing! the festival has always been about diversity and this is as good as it gets i would love to see the killers and the bravery also play!

Kaz Barlow
Kylie definately should not be at Glasto. If I were a pop fan I'd pay to go to a pop festival!Can you imagine all the Kylie fans dancing around their handbags in mud?

katrina watson
if we wanted to listen to pop, and watch what looks to be a n 8 year old dancing on a stange we would go to a primary school talent show.

Kelly
Come on lads and lasses. Glasto is for everyone! It's so big that you can't see everyone anyway. So stop whinging about Kylie. If you're that upset when she's on try the New Band Tent, you're always sure of a treat in there plus you can show off to your mates by telling them you saw the next big thing first! xx

bj
Kylie, really? I know it's for everyone, but I can't imagine many kylie fans leaving their pristine lives in favour of roaming around fields of mud and stoners. Get her off! Put a bit of real music on, everyone wants the Killers, stop messing around and put 'em on.

Nikki
KYLIE!? I'M THERE!! Bought my first Kylie on vinyl wen i was 4yrs old!! she's a legend - cheese on toast! .....and steven....MUSE MUSDE MUSE MUSE MUSE - agreed!

Liz Kelly
I think its fantastic that Kylies playing at Glastonbury! Im sure she'll love it! I do think Eminem should come and play - pretty please - xx

darcy
audioslave and Outkast

nigel sapherson
I would love to see Kylie at glastonbury, The kings of leon would be cool 2!!

Ciaran
Mogwai!!!!!!

Dan
I don't really care about kylie, i want the prodigy to play.

kathy
I think it will add a touch of glamour to what is always a brilliant weekend!!

Mikey B
I don't care who's playing. I'm more woried about getting my ticket!! -role on the chase-

jacie
glastonbury should be about music not money - sellout

Eral Hassan
What a waste of a headline slot!!

Claire Davies
NO TO KYLIE! Kings of Leon/The Killers

Leilani
Not good! Someone better surely could take her place, please!

emma martin
get coldplay to play instead!!!!!!!and the cat empire are amazing, they would be really cool,

chris
i would like to c green day as they are in the uk @ the time of the festival

emma martin
get coldplay to play instead!!!!!!!

Ross
Kylie? Give me Mars Volta

bob
kylie is well fit innit

Steven Cliff
MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE Kylie shud b puttin shrimps on her barbi lol

Ranboy and Boffin
AUDIOSLAVE

Dr. Mick
Not too bothered one way or the other about Kylie. The organisers should get Damien Rice confirmed ASAP. His music is what Glastonbury is all about.

Luke Mack
I dont think kylie is good for glastonbury . It should stick to its rock roots i would like to see - Rooster , The Killers , Kasabian and embrace as the main acts .

Mr Black
NEIL YOUNG please!

Mr Black
Kylie and her bum will be great fun, and thats what glasto's all about! Hopefully Quo will rock the place with the Who too! Now get The Damned back and all will be well.

Graham Lofthouse, Coventry
Consider myself a bit of a Glasto veteran having been six times. Glasto is not a 'rock concert' as so many people clearly not in the know seem to think. It's a 'Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts' and as such the 'big bands' are only a small part of it, and the whole Glastonbury experience. Kylie: Superb, she will add to the fantastic three/four day experience that is Galstonbury!

Cheri Boucher
I would really like to see Scissor Sisters as missed them last year...

nerdvegas
QOTSA. Bring them on. Look how many mentions they have in what amounts to an unrelated thread. Make it happen!

eloise
come on ppl, ok i get it that ever1 has different tastes and all that, but kylie really! its hardly the right plase for her 2 do her pathetic pop princess act is it! come on ppl!

Dave Ashbrooke
She is crap and should'nt be playing. i would like to see keane snowpatrol coldplay and embrace

gracey b
i would love to see the killers, libertenes, snow patrol and definately razorlight!!!

Ruprecht
I think it's pathetic. I don't want to pay a hundred odd quid to see someone who can't sing. The Super Furry Animals should be headlining. Gruff's got more talent in his big toe than the entire Minogue family.

ian wallace
too rightsssss

dovide bowker
if they really must have kylie, why not even up tha bill and get some metal as well? QotSA, Helmet, Slayer. Get it in yer, proper.

kerry-ann murray
rubbish glastonbury is for everyone with an open mind but she has no wrighting credit to any of her songs - roll on new order

Tom
I don't see what all the fuss is about. Kylie doesn't do it for me at all. All her new stuff is just poor. Great to hear New Order are making an appearance though, even more of an excuse to go now

Paul Mac
It would be good if Elvis made a comeback

grumbly
AMY - Jimmy Cliff was the Saturday afternoon not Sunday & how can you call him a novelty then ask for the Rolling Stones?Glastonbury has changed from a festival to a tourist attraction since 2000 anyway.As from 2007 you will need a blood sample & 3 seperate refences to get in

george
great all we need now is natasha bedingfield

Amy
I'm sure she'll be performing on the Sunday. Sunday has always been a novelty day on the main stage - Rolf Harris, Jools Holland, Jimmy Cliff, Rod Stewart, the English National Opera etc. It's well known that it's the Saturday act thats the real headliners. I think Kylie's a great idea, and its good to see someone different. Most of the other bands will appear at all the other festivals. And with so many other stages at Glastonbury, you can be sure that if Kylie isn't your cup of tea, whoever is on the other stage probably will be! Good on you Michael! It'll be Madonna next, you watch! Isn't it about time the Stones made an appearance?

Aibbs Gndrew
Kylye makes me smiley - yep Id cards a good idea too!

emma lambert
i think kylie is rubbish and will be quite out of place at glastonbury...i would like to see keane, snow patrol and longview at glastonbury...especially longview they are brilliant :)

Sparkplug
mmmmmm... Kylie... mmmmmm... me like :-p

blueyedboy
talking heads, the best live band i have ever seen.

Pete Ryecroft
One way of clearing the crowds early...

Alex McQuaid
Sexy lady

Jemima Sylvester
woh cares? it's one act on one day on one stage? it's not as if you're made to watch her. she may not be the rocky/pop you'd expect to see at glasto..give her a break!

laura, hri and danielle
noooooooooooooooooooooooo

James Kellow
I think it is brilliant! I will certainly be watching her on the telly if I can't get to be at the festival. I may even tape the performance as well. Well done Mr Evis. Keep up the good work.

Kim
Will glasto truly suceed try to suit everyone's needs? since you can't buy single day tickets, wot are the kylie fans gonna do on fri and sat nite? i can't see camping appealing to many many kylie fans anyway, so you might be left with a lot of disgruntled glasto regulars squished in areas away from the pyramid stage. We know of the usual fans that glastonbury targets sucessfully- and there aren't enough tickets to meet that damand anyway- how is kylie going to improve glastonbury? An improvement on ticket distribution would be much more appreciated. i see glastonbury as a celebration of perfoming arts- not the bbc's chance to make up for what they've been losing out on with top of the flops- i mean pops. i'd love to see U2, zutons, the whites stripes, franz ferdinand- i am sure they will appeal to more than enough glasto fans.

Andi Blake
I think that is cool!!Indie kylie was underated & she will work the crowd. Look at the olympics?!?

Luke
Kylie can play on the pop spot on Sunday afternoon no worries! It's only one act on one stage! Not the end of the world!

Jonny
They should have Kylie playing in the Veteran's Tent and have The Squirrel Nutkins filling her slot on the main stage.

soph and hana
i agree with ed, bring in muse!

Kat
WAAAAAAT! Kylie at Glasto?! well, its made me make up my mind that i'm not goin this year, thats jus crazy.

sam hardiman
I would loove to actually get tickets and would love to see the mighty WHO !!!!!

Corinne Jones
Kylie? squeaky- clean pop princess appearing at pilton in the mud and hippies doing a little dance routine in designer clothes? get out! thats not what glasto is about! Sugababes were hardly popular in 2003 so i doubt kylie will be. move over for talent, sweetie..

Niki
No way. She is so...fake and posey. This is not cool. Not cool at all...I bet she can't even sing live. It's a waste of time.

Ed, Somerset
Kylie is WRONG!!! what's going on? wanna see green day, fightstar, more up and coming good bands to christen the John Peel stage, and the Undertones for John Peel tribute. Muse should be brought in as they are the best band ever, and are the best live act ever!

Ed Marsh, Somerset
I do not want to see Kylie at all at Glasto. she is so boring it's unbelievable. i will definitely not go and see her because i will most definitely fall asleep. i want to see Muse, and less of the contemporary bands who all sound like Joy Division eg Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand etc. i also want to see The Who with Zack Starkey as their drummer!

bill allen
its a shame but the 2005 promises to be a huge party to make up for the mouth watering 2007, no doubt the line up for both `05 and `07 will help each and everyone get over the disappointment of the greatest festival in the world recharging its batteries in `06

stu, bristol
Kylie and ID cards, John Peel will be spinning in his grave! Money money money!

Paul - Minehead
Kylie - WONDERFUL - I have been going to Glastonbury for over 20 years now and I think it is great seeing people that you wouldn't expect to see. How good were Rolf Harris or Dolly Parton? and how well did the E.N.O go down? Bring it on girl. I for one can't wait!

Simon
Queens of the Stoneage, and for us 40+ The Sex Pistols , Cure or in my drems Siouxse and the Banshees.

Sarah, Ireland
no, its supose to be a rock concert and shes cheesy pop. it would be all most as bad as westlife only there better

Chris, Ireland
I'm not sure Kylie is really the kind of act the people who want to go to Glastonbury want to see. To think they've gone from talking about getting one of the greatest bands in the world, U2, to a pixie, pop diva, ex-soap actress, singer who sells underpants part-time. A shame really.

Mike Bird
Whatever next with Kylie we might have other pop acts appearing lol. If i had my way i would have u2 green day and snow patrol as my 3 main acts

emily
kylie @ glastonbury would b an absolute nightemare!!i thaught it was to b for good music??get the killers and franz ferdinand envolved

j
id h8 to c kylie at glastonbury!!luv to c the zutons, killers, prodigy, green day tho!

Alistair Crawford
There is no one better to do it than Kylie. She is the greatest of all time.

Jamie Dunn

Wow! I can't wait for it. And simon, of course we care about Kylie. We Don't care about new order ;)

Emma
b****y awful..there goes good music.!!

I think it's pretty cool, actually. She's big enough to play the gig, and will undoubtedly put on a good show. I have one Gripe, and that is about Michael revealing parts of the line-up before the tickets go on sale. Why do you have to do it, Michael? Can't you just let it be like it was a few years back, where it wasn't released until all the tickets were sold? If it's done because you don't thinik it will sell out, then you're wrong. The festival will sell out regardless of who is playing, and the punters know you'll get a good line-up. Please stop it.

Now hoping faithless play and it doesn't clash

I am thrilled Kylie is playing and I cant wait! I would like to see the Killers there too.

Tom Robards
I would like to see John Martyn play again as well as The Cat Empire from Melbourne, Australia (they are are a huge act in Oz and incredibly entertaining live, a perfect Glastonbury act for the Jazz World Stage).

Simon Betson
Who cares about Kylie.New Order are playing.
