Do we know yet which day King Gizz will be playing? Headlining the Sunday?

I would genuinly like to see Tool at Glastonbury though and I think their heavy-proggy-psychedelia would be well suited to the festival. Again probably an Other Stage headliner

Haha my comment was tongue-in-cheek. That said the Other Stage would be the only plausible spot for Slipknot. Lighthouse on West Holts. Jobs a goodun.

Lighthouse Family Slipknot

Tough! 1. Paul McCartney 2. Brass Against in Shangri-La 3. Yard Act Honourable mentions to Kae Tempest, Squid, Beans on Toast, Amyl & The Sniffers, The Libertines and the random Pirate band in the Green fields! Despite a lineup I wasn't over the moon with, the sets I saw were without exception all fantastic!

Wet Leg were just mis-staged. The solution to that isn’t to add screens which wouldnt be necessary for 90% of sets there, and would make the stage feel less intimate and nice. The solution would be to put Wet Leg on The Other Stage at 5PM. A lesson learned by the organisers no doubt but these things can be hard to predict, particularly with such a long lead time coming into the fest.

Despite thinking I'd ruined my own festival by Saturday morning (sleep deprivation, hangover, normal stuff) I realised that you actually need to just get into and embrace the Glastonbury mindset. Your brain is a bit fuzzy, you think a bit slower, you're tired and it's a bit of a shock to go from the alert/productive state to the monged-out/fuzzy one (no hard drug taking even implied) but once you embrace it, you'll have the best fucking time. That's what I did anyway and despite being old & tired it was great and I will absolutely be going for tickets next year. Time of my life. Again.

Right Glastonbury's over. Time to get on with the serious business of scrutinising the long term forecasts for next June WHO'S WITH ME

Wouldn't say I'm particularly a fan of McCartney's solo/Wings stuff and was mostly there for the Beatles back catalogue... and yet this set just completely blew me away. Even some of the newer songs & deeper cuts had me engaged and dancing along. Then he played Blackbird. Wow. What an incredible privilege to see McCartney alone with his guitar performing such a delicate song so stunningly at the age of 80. The set just got better from there without a single dull moment. Something, Obi La Di, Mr Kite into the amazing duets and that final hour full of all the hits. If you can't appreciate what you saw there then that truly is your loss.

was the piano bar there this year? admittedly I didn't look very hard, or turn up late when it's normally kicking off - but I couldn't see it in the usual area

This is clearly a wind up

I concur. 2005 was great because after the flood it was mostly dry and you had that sort of nice muddy festival aesthetic but it was warm and you could sit down by the end of Sat and into Sun. My favourite year of the 7 I've been to.
