The Glastonbury lineup is out and it's a goody

Kanye West, Foo Fighters and Hozier are just some of the top acts playing the festival.

THE 2015 GLASTONBURY lineup has been announced and it’s jam packed.

The festival takes place from 24-28 June and will include performances from Kanye West, Florence and the Machine, Pharrell Williams and Mary J. Blige.

Ireland’s Hozier will also be playing, no doubt on a larger stage than last year.

BBC Introducing / YouTube

Other notable names on the list include a collaborative performance between Franz Ferdinand and Sparks. Jesse Ware, Hot Chip, Caribou, Foo Fighters and Patti Smith will also perform.

Unfortunately, if this lineup sparks your interest, it may be too late, as tickets for the four day event have already sold-out.

    Women don’t make good comediennes.

    No actually Christopher Hitchens said it & done an article in Vanity Fair about the fact that evolution may have made men funny as they have to be for the purpose of mating whereas women don’t require the same tactic. After several rebuttals by women including several successful female comedians it appears they only managed to confirm his hypothesis.

    Boobies are not light entertainment, they have no need for cheap funbag jokes.

    Similar to drivers, good women comedians are a minority

    Glad I’m not alone in that C! I think we all have situations where we overthink – and it can be such a pain. Often it doesn’t do anything positive for us either.

    Jo Brand is a brilliant comedian, doesn’t take any crap and knows how to deliver a good story. Similar dead pan style Jack Dee. Im not a fan of Sue Perkins style as I think its very one dimensional, for me it’s more of a “look how clever and witty I am”, as opposed to delivering something funny about life. Her style seems very approval seeking.
