Sleeve notes: Glastonbury 2010 unveils its lineup

Was it really all that long ago that we were hosing down our wellies, packing up our tents and peeling bits of Lady Gaga's exploding chest from our cagoules? Yes! So are we really ready to do it all over again? Oh, ok, go on, if we really have to. You twisted our arm. This week Glasto revealed the lineup to their 40th anniversary festival . And before you shout "Wot no Chris Tofu and the Lovefrogs", let me direct you to a few reasons why this year's festival will be quite good. U2 (there, I've said it) and Muse (there, I've said it again): You don't have to be a super fan to realise that U2 and Muse know a thing or two about a) ridiculously bombastic stadium anthems and b) fireworks. These two things will make them significantly more entertaining than, say, Neil Young last year. Dizzee Rascal : Like an electro-grime tortoise (bet you thought you'd never read that phrase today) moving his way slowly up the festival rankings, Dizzee's festival appearances are usually the ones people come back to the Guardian cabin raving about. If anyone can turn the main stage picnic crowd into hardened rave monsters, Dizzee can. Pet Shop Boys : Popjustice's Peter Robinson often makes me feel ridiculously jealous about the time they played in 2000 (jealous because I wasn't there). If it's 10% as good this time as he says it was then, it will justify the ticket price alone. LCD Soundsystem : The last night of Glasto is normally when the Guardian music team decide to leave their brains somewhere under a stone in the Healing Fields and, like, lose it, maaan. So what better way to warm up for the big blow-out than watching James Murphy armed with tracks from the rather brilliant new LCD Soundsystem album. Five things we learned this week Andrew WK is not exactly lucky in love You lot REALLY love record shops It's possible for the drummer of Razorlight to make a good record Susan Boyle is the new David Lynch The NME should put this lot back on the cover ... Was the Whitney gig really that bad? On Wednesday, news channels ran with a story about Whitney's "disastrous" start to her UK tour in Birmingham. Thing is, Guardian critic Caroline Sullivan was there and didn't think it was all that bad. In fact, she gave Whitney a decent review . Cue much uproar in the comments section. So what's the true story? In this blog post , Caroline explains why she thinks the Whitney breakdown story snowballed into something bigger than it really was – and why she's sticking with her original review. Meltdown For those whose idea of a good festival doesn't involve wading through cowpat, there's always Meltdown. Following in the footsteps of David Bowie, Patti Smith and Ornette Coleman, legendary folkie Richard Thompson curates this year's festival, so get ready for performances from Elvis Costello, Loudon Wainwright III, Field Music and Broken Bells. Of course, we'll be there to give you the full lowdown, but if you want to catch it for yourself you'd better hurry up and book tickets, as they're currently selling like the proverbial warmed buns. Poor Guardian Music Twitter has been poorly this week. Will you show kindness and nurse it back to health?
