I hadn't spotted the Dead Kennedys. Excellent

Angel Olsen
Mark Lanegan
The National

Dead Kennedys (because Jello Biafra once wrote to me)

BloodEagle

Jello Biafra hasnt been in them since 1987, but thats still pretty cool

Deadman

I've seen them with Skip Greer fronting and he was superb. I soon forgot about JB after that.

fandango

And dont forget what's left of Status Quo are appearing on the Acoustic Stage, as Rossi leads his Quo tribute act for the upteenth time

I didn't know that - I haven't really paid them any attention since the early 80's. I saw a recent very short YouTube clip and it sounded a lot like him.

I didn't notice that my baby are playing. They are well worth checking out if anyone is going.

I'm looking forward to seeing a load of flags being waved about obscuring the view of the bands.

Nothing there for me I'm afraid.

Seriously? Nothing? Out of that massive line-up? 

Will definitely be watching Radiohead, Biffy Clyro and the Foos. I usually try to watch as much of it as I can anyway, just to see bands I've not heard of.

Jo Whiley 

Really? Even though she is massively irritating?

Sorry, ''twas the first thing that came to mind 

Don't apologise. 

She *used* to be irritating, now she's the Glastonbury Grande Dame, previous acolyte of John Peel coming into her own. 

She's not fit to dust his typewriter.

Not in the same league but Mark Radcliffe was channeling a bit of John Peel in the coverage last year

If I see her she's okay but she has said some truly stupid things in the past and tries a bit too hard to act half her age. 
The BBC seem to struggle to find people who are genuinely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about music to present music programmes. Give me Radcliffe over Whiley or Evans any day.

If she is wearing a skirt and wellies...I would, deffo.

The Lemon Twigs are sounding pretty good on the John Peel stage
