Tootts Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 This always happens to me and I wish it wouldn't, but there are a couple of acts I regret missing every year. This year I am mostly kicking myself over missing Jon Hopkins at Arcadia and choosing a quieter night at The Jacksons instead. The choice of acts this year was particularly immense though and there were always going to be some tough choices! Who are you most kicking yourself over missing?

Slugworth Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Royal Blood. Choose Dreem Team for our groups garage fix. Left disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 No regrets, but wish none of these clashed: Liam vs Katy Perry Anderson Paak vs Future Islands Frank Carter vs Barry Gibb Killers vs Chic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'm still devastated at the outcome of the clash between British Sea Power and Saturday morning's hangover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Also wish I'd seen Barry Gibb rather than faffing around in the crush at the Other. My the time we were out we couldn't be arsed with Gibb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpfranks Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 xx vs Anderson.Paak vs Future Islands was a bit of a bitch. Went to xx and regret nothing but would've loved to have seen all three in their own right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penrhos Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) The XX Vs Elbow secret set. Radiohead Vs Flaming Lips Vs Major Lazer. Katy Perry Vs Liam. Sasha & Digweed Vs Fatboy Slim Vs The Jacksons Vs The Foos Cassette Boy Vs Dr Meaker Nile Rogers and Chic Vs The Killers secret set. Biffy Clyro overlapping Goldfrapp & London Grammar. Groove Armada Vs Metronomy Vs Ed Sherran Vs Justice. Saw Radiohead - should have seen flaming lips or Major lazer - either would have been more entertaining. Saw Liam - should have seen Katy Perry. Saw Jacksons - should have seen Sasha & Digweed. Saw Ed Sherran and some of Justice - should have seen Groove Armada & Justice.

rpfranks Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 ah yeah BBK vs Justice vs Metronomy Radiohead vs Flaming Lips vs Major Lazer vs Dizzee Rascal Would've seen all of those too if the clash gods allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Virtually every band I wanted to see was playing Friday evening. I missed about six acts that day, most of which were higher on my list than anyone on Saturday or Sunday. Beforehand I said "The xx had better be fucking stunning, the number of bands I'm going to miss for them". Basically I needed nothing short of the finest run of three performances I'd ever seen in 13 festivals not to end the night feeling severely aggrieved with my lot at the end of the night. No regrets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBee Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 We also regret not going to Jon Hopkins; could have watched the metamorphosis after too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattlerattlerattle Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Future Islands - Regret nothing as I don't think i've ever been as happy but by all accounts the xx and Anderson Paak seem to have both been great. Katy Perry - I was always heading towards Liam but last minute decided to stay for the show. It was a spectacle, better than I thought but Liam would have been enjoyable with mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClovenFin Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Big clashes on Thurs - Solardo vs Fabio/Grooverider vs Emerson/Digweed. Ended up at Glade lounge as Emerson and Digweed did not cut it at Spaceport. Discovered a great new DJ. Stanton Warriors vs Popof, also pretty savage.

Tootts Posted July 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Had a RIDE/Kate Tempest issue on the Fri but chose Kate Tempest and no kicking myself on that one - just wow. Watched a bit of Ride on playback tonight actually they looked great though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeshez89 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 My least regrets of any year! minor one in going to Foos instead of Alt-J and then Gizzard at Crows nest, but you can't win em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Andy Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I think its normal to come back from Glastonbury with tiny regrets of what you missed. I'm not daring to watch any BBC footage of Warpaint, cos I was simply too exhausted to trek all the way down to The Park and back to see them. But hey, overall I had such a great time and saw some great stuff, so best to just accept it as inevitable of the place being so big and good.

Crazyfool01 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 my bad back seemed to clash with everything ... thats the only one I let concern me ... everything else is either going to be fun or instead be fun !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Went to Foos & then left for Phoenix instead of Joe Goddard & Jon Hopkins. No other regrets, and Phoenix were good anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too young to remember them from the 90's but I've really enjoyed their new stuff and it didn't disappoint live. They really go to town with the long guitars jams. Andy Bell is particularly good. JP was probably only a quarter full, but it had the feeling those there were real fans that had waited a long time for that gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
