I'd definitely like to see Beyoncé to see how her thing works at a festival.
Katy B
I'm really looking forward to Beyoncé because I was a huge Destiny's Child fan and she is an amazing performer. I can't wait to see the whole field doing the booty shake.
Ian Parton, the Go! Team
I'm curious to see Beyoncé because she was clearly groomed from her very early years to be an entertainer. I'm sure she'll kick everyone's ass in terms of spectacle. Her show will be like a Broadway spectacle, designed to blow you away, and I don't think Bono will be able to live with it.
Andy Butler, Hercules and Love Affair
I got U2 and Coldplay but would never have even imagined Beyoncé. I'll definitely be checking her out.
Allison Pierce, the Pierces
I want to see Beyoncé for the spectacle.
Jonathan Higgs, Everything Everything
We will definitely check out Beyoncé, like every one else – believe it or not, Destiny's Child were really influential on us, we took a lot of rhythmic ideas from them.
Caitlin Rose
Obviously I want to see Beyoncé, because I've always loved her, she has great pop songs and she knows how to make an album.
Anna Calvi
I may not stay to see Coldplay headline: I'd be far more excited if it was Beyoncé on our day.
Joe Mount, Metronomy
I bet Beyoncé will be spectacular. It's great Glastonbury can book that kind of artist now: the very best at what she does
Tom Fleming, Wild Beasts
I'm dying to see Beyoncé because she is a real talent who can back it up physically – her singing and dancing are amazing.
Dylan Le Blanc
I'll see Beyoncé, because she has a great voice
Although lady_j was testing me for a moment there.
