'That don't impress me much' Glasto fans underwhelmed by line-up - poll results
It's safe to say that Glastonbury's 2024 line-up announcement hit many fans like a slab of Worthy Farm mud to the face.
While some greeted the likes of headliners Dua Lipa, SZA, and Coldplay with open arms, not everyone was singing along to the same tune. Despite legends such as Shania Twain rubbing shoulders with unexpected gems like Avril Lavigne, and the eclectic mix of LCD Soundsystem, Burna Boy, and Cyndi Lauper appearing over the festival's five-day extravaganza, there were plenty of stick-in-the-muds less than pleased with the choice of acts.
Some festival-goers felt like they got stuck in the wrong mosh pit, lamenting the lack of variety and slamming the line-up for being too pop-heavy. One disgruntled fan even demanded a refund, shouting, "Dua Lipa headlining? I want my festival money back!" But whether you're ready to dance 'til dawn or forlornly debating your ticket purchase, one thing's for sure - the 2024 lineup certainly got tongues wagging in a way we've never really seen before.
So much so, in fact, we asked if you were impressed with the Glastonbury line-up. A whopping 73 per cent responded with 'That Don't Impress Me Much', with 14 per cent saying the acts were decent, and the rest saying it was 'ok'.
Glastonbury fans faced the longest wait for a headliner announcement in more than two decades, with some festival-goers saying they regret buying tickets for the weekend. One fumed on social media: "This is probably the worst Glastonbury line-up ever. Where is the variety? It's all pop singers."
'Football fans are sick of being blamed and having their lives put in danger'
"Dear oh dear. That don't impress me much," another joked following the news that Shania Twain will be taking to the stage in the summer.

Elsewhere, someone else complained: "that's a shocker of a line-up," and another agreed: "Thank God I didn't get tickets. I don't even feel like I'll be missing out on anything."
"Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA feels like a kick in the teeth after last year’s headliners. C**p really. LCD Soundsystem is good though," another shared. "This may be the worst line-up the festival has ever had," another echoed.
Another social media user fumed: "This feels like a Gen Z lineup. What about all the festival-goers who have supported the festival for years and years? There's nothing for us. I feel like selling my tickets now." As someone else argued: "I do love Dua and Coldplay, so I'm happy but it all just feels a bit meh. I understand why people are angry tbh."
However, it wasn't all bad as some fans were delighted to see the likes of Dua and SZA headlining. "This will be the biggest moment of Dua's career. Fair play to her, she's incredible."
"Why is everyone being so negative???? Dua Lipa and Coldplay are two of the best-selling singers/bands in the UK. Personally, I'm so excited," another argued.
Last year's line-up received a much better reaction and rave reviews after Arctic Monkeys closed the Pyramid Stage – their third time topping the bill. Lizzo played immediately before and had joint headline billing on the line-up poster and Sir Elton’s headline slot on Sunday night marked his final UK show of his farewell tour. Saturday night also saw US rockers Guns N’ Roses headline, after the original line-up of Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan reunited in 2015.
