Just had an idea for a thread - who is most likely to play the most unmissable/historic Glastonbury set this year?

[HGavin]

This just came to mind reading someone mention missing Radiohead in '07 because they were standing deep in mud on the Other Stage.

Which artist is most likely to play set you definitely don't want to be stuck in the mud somewhere else during? Who, from the current released Glastonbury 2015 line-up, would be most likely to play a historic set?

I'm figuring previous historic Glastonbury sets include Pulp (replacing Stone Roses), McCartney, Blur in '09 etc.. Maybe I'm missing other even more important sets (as my Glastonbury knowledge is amateur at best). But, who would be likely to play the set most remembered this year?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

'Ye.

[A Guy Called Matt]

The Mothership

[HGavin]

Actually maybe it's subjective.. depending on taste one person's memorable set might be another persons biggest bore of the festival.. so this might be a totally silly question

It is subjective but no questions are silly as we all love to talk about Glastonbury Festival cos it is so damn good.

[TheNewUnion]

It is totally subjective, but that's why it's a good question. I think Foo Fighters will deliver the best "TV Friendly" show, 'Ye the most hyped. For me, at present, I think Mary J or Motorhead will be the ones everyone is talking about afterwards.

Neil Young was my "unmissable" act.

As for this year, I don't know. I can't see anyone yet who I can anticipate as being a historic moment. But i'm willing to be surprised by someone :-)

[Mash011]

Like him or not, Kanye's is probably going to be the most important and talked-about set. I just hope it's because he performs amazingly and not because he spends 20 minutes of his set on a rant.

[klipper]

kanye will be the most historic

Patti Smith most unmissable

Fucking hell if those two clash...

[Wanderlei]

Depends what you mean by historic. The holocaust was historic too.

[fatyeti24]

Me.

I reckon by Friday i'll be up to speed. By then, everything i do will be a (poor) performance, the world will be my stage and you are all my audience.

That's definitely how i see things panning out.

[HGavin]

Are you performing Fatyeti24?

I kind of think it'll be The Moody Blues.. no real reason, I've only just started listening to them. They look interesting and kind of out of place on the poster though..

Historic band as well. George Clinton/Motorhead/Dalai Lama could be it as well

[ghandi]

I'm listening to Patti Smith right now and am old enough to have bought both Horses and Waves when they came out, i think she will be the most historic/ iconic set of the weekend. Not to miss though also will be SFA and Mary J, just talking about this years line up with more to come so who knows what surprises we'll get.

[fatyeti24]

Are you performing Fatyeti24?

not in the traditional sense, no.

[Boopickledaddy]

Mavis Stapes, The Mothership and Patti Smith could all be special Glastonbury moments for me.

I'm also hoping to spot a yeti, not a skinny one either, no I want to bag a picture of a big fat yeti.

Kanye will be the performance that the press and TV audience remembers, but your own “historic” and memorable moment could be absolutely anything. Which is what makes Glastonbury so special.

[YorkshireJohn]

I always think its a performance from either an iconic artist that you wouldn't normally pay to see, or one that you stumble across by accident and completely blows you away. I hope to god the George Clinton/Mothership/Parliament/Funkadelic experience doesn't clash with anything else I want to see. I'm hoping they will blow the funk out of Mark Ronson's arse when they play and show everyone how its really done! If its a warm sunny festival there will be nothing better !

[Martin Ashford]

Moody Blues doing Ride My See Saw will be a big moment for sure

[Spindles]

Gots to be the mothership.

[Slugworth]

Mothership, Foo Fighters, Run the Jewels

[Guest]

Foo fighters have their 20th anniversary of their debut album and its their biggest gig this year (or wembly stadium) so my bets on them.

[Nutella Versace]

Prince

[STEatT]

Catfish and the Bottlemen

Future Islands. Brilliant at the Roundhouse recently and with the right slot could nail it.
