I thought it must have been something like that.  No, you reminded me of one of the greatest gigs I've ever been to.  Chas'n'Dave acoustic tent singalong, absolute magic in the tent that day.  

:) I'll wait until my hangover subsides in future before getting snippy.

Yeah can imagine, bet the sing along was ace.

Did you see when they played sonisphere a few years back, had a mosh going, so funny. 

Now that I would have liked to have seen. I completely lost my voice singing along . I think the beautiful south played the next night in the same tent great sing along also

Along with crowdsurfing rabbit :-)

Yeah saw Paul and Jacqui a few years ago in the acoustic, perfect sing along. The beautiful south have never failed me in the times I've seen them.

1999 - Super Furry Animals ( fave band at my first festival )

2000 - Moby ( on top of his game )

2002 - Elbow ( Grace Under Pressure! )

2004 - Hope of the States ( such a great band ) - McCartney was great too

2005 - Brian Wilson ( sun finally came out! )

2007 - Arcade Fire ( owned the Other Stage )

2008 - The National ( ended in style on John Peel )

2009 - Blur ( clearly ) - Springsteen joining Gaslight too

2010 - Pet Shop Boys - LCD ( both so much fun )

2011 - Chemical Brothers ( had to include them once )

2013 - Rolling Stones ( clearly ) - Chic too

2014 - Arcade Fire ( see above for Pyramid )

2015 - Jon Hopkins ( perfect Park headliner )

2016 - M83 ( great in new John Peel )

Loads more close behind! Rarely see a bad one through choice, though Rodriquez on The Park wasn't great.

I'm not sure about the entire set, but the beginning of the set was amazing. The energy in the field was so high - he could have dropped the mic after 99 Problems and walked off and it would have been enough.

I did get a bit bored throughout the set, but I'm not a fan of Jay Z or rap in general.

Fair comment, but yeah that intro was one of the best ive ever seen. A proper hairs on the back of the neck moment.

Royal Blood in the John Peel tent. 2015 I think.  They had the whole place rocking. 

 

Kasbian the same year.  I watch the video of Fire on YouTube and it makes me smile every time. 

 

Christine and the Queens last year.  Amazing to see live.
