Sza will be a good headliner, her music is excellent. Little Simz also deserves the success as she's very talented. The other stages look good: the streets, Idles, Justice, disclosure, the last dinner party, Sampha.

As usual with Glasto - the headliners aren't the draw for many. It's the experience and the new acts to find that make it good

Music is my life. I have an enormous collection, spanning rock, indie, metal, folk, folk rock, world, jazz, blues, classical, medieval etc. I recognise 5 names in the entire Glastonbury list, one of which is Coldplay.

I like Yellow. That's it.

It will sound better on my hifi.

Sounding proper old here fella. If music's your life you should be open to new suggestions. Happy to chuck some your way
 
Squid and Fat White Family are decent but I've seen them both plenty of times already. There'll be loads of good stuff lower down the bill

The "uninspiring" lineup might make it a more enjoyable weekend though, there might be fewer coked up bell ends running around screaming about looking good on the dance floor and ruining it for everyone

If you only recognise five names in that list then you’re clearly not into music.

The most casual of music fan would recognise a good few there.

But I AM interested music. I pay more for music streaming than I do tv access. I find pop tends to be very formulaic and samey to my ears though, so I've learned not to give it much time. I suspect this is the problem.

So long as its not the stuff radio stations are filled with (so many stations but all playing the same stuff), invariably not to my taste. Not that there's nothing good out there, I just don't want to put up with 10 hours of (to me) boring for maybe one memorable track.

I discover at least 1 new (to me) artist I like each week through qobuz. Recent revelations have been Nina Simone and early (pre-80s) Clannad.
 

Needs more balding middled aged men and piss stained boomers in their poorly fitted levi's playing 4 chord guitar music.

Back in my day we had really cool cutting edge artists like Status Quo rocking the crowd, kids these days just want to take selfies and watch their favourite wokester pop star.

To this day i still can't understand how the entire world stopped being able to make good music as soon as i hit middle aged, its very confusing to me.

How do you know only 5 acts then?

There's about 4 "pop" artists on that line up.

It is filled with great artists spanning most the genres you mentioned in your original post.
