In fact, last year I didn't see a headliner on any stage on any night, which was strangely nice.

Neither did I really. I was stood near the Sonic tent for part of Richie Hawtin's set, but not really near enough to be "watching" him. I was just downing vodka and passing time until Klock b2b Dettman.

11 out of a possible 54, by my reckoning. All the fun I was having elsewhere means I have ruined my brain and am unable to work it out a percentage. Just under 20%, maybe?

So 62.5% in total.

Following recent announcements definitely won't be 3/3 this year either.

2011 - 1/3 (U2)

2013 - 2/3 (Arctic Monkeys, Rolling Stones)

2014 - 2/3 (Arcade Fire, Metallica)

5/9 so 55.5%

Also caught the end of Beyonce after QotSA, and made the mistake of trying to cross the Pyramid while Mumfords were one to try and get to Bobby Womack, took an absolute age and got to West Holts just in time to see him walk offstage :(

2013 - 2/3 (Arctic Moneys, Rolling Stones)

2014 - 1/3 (Arcade Fire)

Saw a bit of Muse in 2010. Regret not seeing Neil Young. Seeing Beyonce over QOTSA was a dreadful idea in hindsight.
