[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Mary J Blige

In no order

 

1. Lionel Ritchie

2. Ben Howard

3. Jungle

4. Courteeners

5. And finally not really act related but walked in to some a bar in Shangri La on Saturday night when it started to pick to rain, Latino something (anyone care to help)? Huge sing-a-longs and every track played was a classic - great atmosphere!

[BlackHole2006]

1. Todd Terje & The Olsens

2. Hot Chip

3. Patti Smith

[hfuhruhurr]

motorhead

wilko johnson (30min set on thu)

Lionel Richie (well, the crowd really, they were fab)

Mik Artistik (!)

Proclaimers

[Avalon_Fields]

Saw 24 bands in all, biggest mistake was leaving Alabama Shakes 3 songs in because of the rain, but my top 5 are:

Hot Chip

Vintage Trouble

Raghu Dixit

Lulu

The Zombies

[Perks]

Had a blast! Saw loads this year. Top five

1) Patti Smith

2) Jamie T

3) The Skints

4) Super Furries

5) hobo jones (midnight Sat, Avalon)

Honourable mention to Ferocious Dog as they rocked it too...

[Hugh Jass]

In order:

Belle & Sebastian - Just brilliant.

Pharrel - The surprise hit of the festival for me, had low expectations but really enjoyed it.

Lionel

Wolf Alice (Park) - Would have been even better had the weather improved.

Suede

There were a couple of disappointments. The Who had a storming first 30 mins then churned out an hour or so of boring crap. And for some reason I just could not get into SFA.

[The 38 year old virgin]

Saw 24 bands in all, biggest mistake was leaving Alabama Shakes 3 songs in because of the rain, but my top 5 are:

Hot Chip

Vintage Trouble

Raghu Dixit

Lulu

The Zombies

shit, forgot about raghu dixit. He was bloody ace.great fun. Wasn't even going to watch him. What I call serendipity

[Al2006]

Mavis Staples

Caribou

The Who

Belle and Sebastian

King Creosote (secret set in crows nest, which ended up being a set by two of his band members as he was ill!)

[tazbang]

The Chemical Brothers - Went mainly because all mates were going but absolutely blown away. Right on the barrier, didn't stop dancing from start to end.

 

Frank Turner (Other) - Now thats the way to start any festival day (take note Charlatans!). Always brings an amazing show and lyrics which make sense to my life.

 

Jamie T - A little slow start but picked it up. Zombies is a fantastic last song.

 

Slaves (JP) - Good music, fantastic fun!

 

Libertines - Only saw last 30mins, but great songs and so watchable on stage. More charisma in their little fingers that the whole of the Charlatans. 

 

And a special mention to...

 

Charlie XCX - I felt dirty even going to watch this, and a whole lot dirtier when I left! But catchy songs and a she certainly puts on a show!

[PhoenixNights2014]

In no particular order...

1- Todd terje & the olssons - incredible vibe, crowd loved it and finished off some transvestite dancers..

2 - Lionel Ritchie- I'm hardly a fan but he seemed genuinely elated and crowd again helped it a memorable legends slot

3 - Hot chip - I was pretty drunk but it was a great set and danced all thru the set with a huge smile

4 - Alt-J - waited years to finally catch them...brill set list and clearly loved the pyramid setting..

5 - Father john misty - for me it was just heaven, the crowd loved him and he was sooo good, incredible vocals

Loads others were great...Public service Broadcasting, the waterboys, Alabama shakes, Courtney Barnett to name a few

[Little Andy]

1. Jamie T -  An absolute blast down at the front and centre

2. Florence And The Machine - I wasn't previously a big fan but it was amazing at the front. Easily my favourite headliner of the weekend.

3. The Smyths - Great music is great music.

4. The Libertines - Despite the bassist looking miserable to be there, it was really fun.

5. Belle And Sebastian - The last few songs were an utter delight.

 

Special mentions also for Nizlopi and Ben Howard.

Wait, what? Was this the Friday night? I was in there most of Friday from Hot Chip, other than a brief wander round some ofShangri-La's alleys, and completely missed that. Not entirely surprising given the shape I was in...

No it was Saturday about 2am I'd guess. Then we saw her again getting food by West Holts on Sunday, she seemed to be everywhere
