jonzpellz Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Something to start your Thursday off! Who was the first band you saw at Glastonbury (your first one)? I am not sure if it is something i should own up to but I saw Blossoms on the Other Stage (We all make mistakes). Who did you see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yokel Again Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 It was either The Wailers or Lady Smith Balck Mambazo (spelling?) on the Pyramid in 2000, I'd need to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cortezuk Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 In 1997 I'd not been to Glastonbury before and agreed to meet my brother (with my tent and bags!) At the front of the Pyramid Stage during the first act on Friday - Phish! Found him easily! It was pissing down and Phish are an acquired taste! Who would do that now??

phimill Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 The 1975 in Williams Green 2014 (I know, I know!) i did think it was going to be metronomy in my defense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I seem to recall seeing Sharon Shannon in a tent somewhere in '93, I was only 7 years old though so can't be sure - first act I remember going to on my own and making an effort to do so was Finley Quaye on the Pyramid Stage in '98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuttlep Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 2004 was my first year I may have seen another but I think maybe Simian Mobile Disco, I was young and hoping that I was going to a disco with monkeys involved some how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Bjorn again, very much against my will following a traumatic experience some years before where I was trapped on a long car journey with a driver playing Abba gold on a loop.

Tartan_Glasto Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I had to search this as all I could remember was that it was at the Bandstand on the Wednesday evening of 2015. Turns out it was Stompin' Dave and his Bluegrass Band. I can't remember much of them, as I was more focussed on the fact that a friend of one of our party was feeding their child who must have been about 5 a fair amount of warm cider to put them to sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondo Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 2003 was my 1st- and I have it in my head that some bands played on Jazz World (West Holts now) on the Thursday as seem to recall seeing Ozomatli there on that night. If that's not right then it would be the Inspiral Carpets on the Pyramid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troop Dogg Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Ben Harper, Pyramid, 1998. At least he was the first act I remember seeing, I'm sure I saw some absolute gash 90s indie-landfill on the Other stage earlier in the day.
