16 of 21

missed Stereophonics (for Robert Plant), Rod Stewart (for Air), Moby (Doves), Muse 04 (long story...), & Artic Monkeys (Portishead) -

did a walkabout mid-Kasabian and caught London Grammar's last bits, but was back in time to see 'Praise You' to end...

Roger Waters was the real headliner of '02, so I'd say 17 of 21 really....

2014, none

2013, 1 stones

2011, 1 u2

2010, 0.5 gorillaz

2009, 2 blur, Neil young

2008, none

2007, 1, the who

2005, memory getting sketchy but none

2004, 1, macca

I'm really not sure now... But definitely since 94 seen Bowie, The Levellers, The Cure, pulp, Oasis, radiohead (just once), Roger waters, so I'm guessing out of a possible 51 I've seen probably 15 so 29%

Could do with a full list really!

40%, but I did walk away from Oasis after less than half their set as they were so dull that year

13 - 2/3 (Arctics, Rolling Stones)

14 - 0/3

I saw Rolling Stones out of obligation more than anything. Caught about 10/15 mins of Metallica and Arcade Fire last year but Drenge were playing at Crows Nest during Arcade Fire and that was a lot more fun than the end of Arcade Fire.

Barring anything huge happening I'll be at Kanye this year, not Foos though.

2000 - 2/3

2011 - 0.5/3

2013 - 2/3

2014 - 1.5/3

Total 66% though i can see that going down over the next few years - not interested in them this time and gradually winning the battle to convinve mates that West Holts andThe Park are where it's at.

By Sunday, I was just ambling around really. Didn't want to see Kasabian and wasn't taken by Massive Attack.

I've had those nights also, where nothing really grabs you enough to stick around and not go looking for something else. More than made up for by the fact that over the years at Glastonbury the Friday night selection has left me missing numerous acts I'd love to see because something else even better is going on (Friday '11 and '13 were, for me, 2 of the best nights of any festival ever, with WAY too many great choices throughout the whole afternoon evening, I missed craploads I'd have loved to have seen)

Doubt I'll see any Pyramid headliners this year either.

[Edited because I can't do percentages despite being a maths grad/stats student.]

2014 all of Kasabian & Metallica, 10 mins of Arcade Fire
2013 Rolling Stones
2010 half of Gorillaz & all of Muse
2009 Neil Young & Bruce Springsteen (had to leave early or I would have seen Blur, also contrary to everyone else on efestivals I enjoyed Springsteen, but not Young)

I do like having 1 big headliner to look forward to even though I'm well aware there is plenty more going on at Glastonbury.

97 - One

99 - One

02 - One

07 - Two

08 - One

09 - Two

10 - One

11 - Half of U2

13 - Two

14 - Three

14.5 / 30. Half-ish.

I enjoy a Pyramid night out so it'd be shame if there's nothing I want to see this year, which is looking increasingly likely. I've been pretty lucky in the past that a lot of bands I've liked have also played at the same time as the headliners I'm not bothered about so there's mostly been other things to do. That's why I get a ticket.
