Since getting back i have watched back a load of vids on the beeb and U tube and have to say that i wish that i had been to see:

Primal scream instead of U2, it looked amazing, and went right back to my drug enthused days.I had only just come back from Radiohead and instead of rushing to meet people on the Pyramid i could have relaxed and enjoyed this. " Come together!" people.

Friendly fires, what i gig, surely a Pyramid slot in 2013? They clashed with Elbow when the official times came out, so that ruled it out for me.

Surely these must be stories like this.

I too would have picked Primal Scream. I went to U2 knowing what they were, but still expecting to be entertained. But the entire thing was just dire, dull and infuriating. I'm a huge Primal Scream fan but I grew up on U2. I thought i'd seize the only chance i'd get to see U2. I had DJ Shadow and Primal Scream on, and I went to see Bono w*nk onstage for an hour. My mistake, but once I was in it would have taken way to long to leave and make it to other U2 are vile arrogant c**ts and really shouldn't have been anywhere near the damn festival.

Also... The security ran past us to stop something. I assume it was the protest. That was sicken too.

Definitely Janelle Monae although it would have meant missing most of Coldplay so I'm still satisfied with my decision....Damn the clashes!!

I'd have liked to see Friendly Fires and Elbow, but I simply had to see Pulp.  I've liked them for too long and it might be the only chance I ever get to see them.  I'm seeing Friendly Fires in November and I'm sure I'll see Elbow at some point too so I'm not too disappointed.  Wish I hadn't bothered going to see Radiohead, but I was with my lovely mates so even that wasn't too bad.

[Vieuphoria]

Shit yes I forgot Pulp too. I gave up when i tured up an hour early for Radiohead and it was impossible. Gutted I missed Pulp though. Would have been better to have them headline though

[thebattleofevermore]

Janelle Monae and Big Boi, not seen any of their sets but I've heard they were amazing! Couldn't tear myself away from James Blake or Toddla T.

[happinessisawarmgun]

Seeing Janelle back and I was really jealous. I've seen her a few times before, and didn't want to miss Coldplay who I'd never seen, but I still slightly regret it.

Also missing Morrissey for what I thought was a fairly average Radiohead

[gooner1990]

Chase and Status are the only ones im annoyed about missing!

[pjadnoo]

For me it's definitely Wu-Tang Clan. They look amazing on the BBC footage and they're a band I'm unlikely to go see at a normal gig so probably missed my chance to see em unless they do another festival soon.

[Troop Dogg]

Wish I coulda seen Fleet Foxes and Jimmy Cliff but they clashed with Radiohead.

[sisterofmercy]

Fleet Foxes, Radiohead and Pulp for me.

I still think U2 was a good set - i dont get the full on hatred - Vieuphoria comments above - seriously? it was just a gig, no-one made you go and watch them... your fault if you didnt enjoy it you could of gone to get a pint if you hated it that much... even if they brought on Elvis & Lennon for an encore people would of still said they were shite.

Wish i would of moved my arse across the site to see radiohead (despite the reports)

also should of went elsewhere after beyonce's first 2 songs but instead stayed with the rest of my mates who wanted to watch her.. it wasnt for me... my fault I didnt go elsewhere though (same as my U2 comment above).

[Couchy]

I f**king missed The Wombats as I was having a nap.

& Modestep too but caught them the weekend before.

[**claire**]

Pulp / Friendly Fires.  I LOVED Elbow, but this was a nightmare 3-way clash for me.

Also Janelle Monae - she looked fab from what I've seen on the BBC coverage.

[LondonTom]

My only real regret was Friendly Fires /Noah and the Whale and the beginning of White Lies but that was for PULP!!!...and oh chase & status, could have done with missing the first 10 minutes or so of u2 it turns out! Theres not been anything else where I been like I would have loved to been there!

[Bradders]

Beyonce looked great and The Streets were disappointing. That's my big one.

[Wooderson]

Laura Marling and John Grant.

[milly16]

Wish there wasn't a PULP/ELBOW CLASH,saw elbow ( who should of headlined instead of the safe sure bet coldplay) But made up for it by seeing pulp at wireless......Pulp should of headlined too.

Janelle Monae looked amazing when I watched it back (but still cite Coldplay as one of my favourite performances ever so them's the breaks!)

Mumford and Sons as didn't think I could get to the Pyramid stage in time for U2 but wish I'd arrived late now! (if at all!)

Noah and the Whale (seen them once already this year though and will be seeing them again when they support Arcade Fire so don't need to be too disappointed!)

Stornoway - didn't get out of bed early enough! Unforgivable!

Probably loads more but will only get depressed thinking about it!! :-)
