One of the stages at Glastonbury Festival has been dubbed the 'best' the festival has to offer so far, with some fans hoping to avoid the crowds to catch one act With Glastonbury Festival fast approaching and music fans hyped up for the iconic event, a stage line-up has been crowned the "best" yet by eager festival-goers all thanks to a stellar act. Amid the excitement for Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, and The 1975 on the main Pyramid stage, it's another platform commanding attention with its recently unveiled line-up.

A post to the r/GlastonburyFestival subreddit saw one user write: "It's going to be hell, everyone sweating rivers, cannot go to wee because you lose the spot, and my general anxiety around crowds in enclosed spaces is going to f**k me up. Will be there." Glasto-goers are thrilled with the line-up, with one fan expressing their excitement online. They wrote: "I've got the exact same fear. Cannot wait for that Ca7riel and Paco, Glass Beams run at West Holts but Geordie Greep and Ichiko Aoba are calling my name." Another keen festivalgoer added: "Best lineup of any stage so far. GEORDIE GREEP!!! I believe some of the bands of Bimble Inn are way way too big for that stage but I won't say which so you people won't ram the place half an hour before I get there." Yet another exclaimed: "The Greep!" as anticipation builds for the artist's solo debut at Glastonbury, after he previously rocked the West Holts stage last year with Black Midi. What will Geordie Greep play at Glastonbury Festival?

They wrote: "Didn't get tickets and this lineup is a banger for me. Wishing good vibes and sunny skies for all who get to attend." Another added: "This is the first poster I've seen that makes me really sad I'm not going. The Maccabees headlining could be... a moment. And I speak of someone who first saw them randomly in Cafe de Paris on Leicester Square in 2006 (maybe 2005? ) and has been a solid fan ever since." A third wrote: "Great lineup. Do we know where Brian Jonestown Massacre are playing yet?"
