  3. Tell us about your 'Moment'

    - Adele singing her Dylan cover of 'Make You Feel My Love' was pretty special, especially from the hill seeing all the lights lit up. I'm another who wasn't her biggest fan before she began her set.

    - My euphoric Glastonbury moment was watching Muse - Knights of Cydonia from the hill with 2 of our group as we were separated from the rest due to crowd congestion before their set. I knew my cousin was due to set off a flare and seeing it go up right at the end and knowing who it was made it that bit more special. [side note: flares rule. No pyro, no party]

  5. YOU MADE A PLEDGE !

    Throughout the weekend, our campsite became a tip - even people slating us for it. Until the Monday when the pre-packed bin bags and marigolds our group brought were utilised to clean the entire place as well dismantling and taking home all our tents. I'd've liked the people slating our campsite to have returned Monday morning.
    Lived like animals for 5 days but left no trace...!

  7. Rate the acts you saw

    I camp in Oxylers so see a lot of the acts on there without even intending to which leads to some nice discoveries, and some musical atrocities, but here goes..
    Friday:-
    James 6/10.
    Underwhelming as I was looking forward to them. Not knowing much of their new material weakened the set for me personally.
    Blossoms 5/10.
    Can we just add them to the indie landfill section of NME and be done with it?
    Christine & The Queens 6.5/10.
    Saw half the set from the tent before moving further afield for food. Very good from what I saw, would be interested to check out a full set!
    Catfish & The Bottlemen (secret set) 7.5/10.
    Enjoyed the opportunity to see these guys play a stripped down set!
    ZZ Top 8/10.
    True rock and roll at Glasto. Following the Motorhead 2015 slot, I hope third down Pyramid Friday becomes a staple of this sort of ilk! 
    Bring Me The Horizon 7/10.
    Underwhelming lack of old material with only songs from the past two 'softer' albums. Crowd were made for it though.
    Bastille 8/10.
    Strike me down for this but I had great fun, and their popularity can't be denied. Field was rammed!
    Muse 10/10.
    Is there a better live band on the planet? 

    Saturday:-
    Haelos 6/10. 
    Nice chilled start to the morning, thoroughly good 'background' music.
    Shura 3/10.
    I napped in my camping chair whilst listening. Enough said.
    St Paul & The Broken Bones 7/10.
    This bloke has a voice and a half. One of my favourite discoveries of the festival!
    Beans on Toast 8/10.
    It isn't a Glastonbury unless I see this man and this was his best set yet. Giving him an hour on Avalon seemed like a celebration and he certainly treated it like one. See you next, Jay!
    Madness 6.5/10.
    Another underwhelming act but primarily down to a unusually volatile crowd atmosphere around me. Band were as good as usual but ended up leaving early!
    Tom Odell 4/10.
    I just don't get why this guy is so big? His voice was weaker than 99% of acts that played the Other Stage over the course of the weekend.
    The 1975 6/10.
    My girlfriend described them as a band from the wrong decade and she's not wrong. New album is pish so watered down the set massively.
    Chvrches 9/10.
    One of the highlights of the weekend. Touting them now as a future headliner.
    Adele 9/10.
    Thought I would go and check her out and leave for New Order. From the moment she sang the first line of 'Hello' I was awestruck and stayed, goosebumps and all, the entire set! I'm a convert!!

    Sunday:-
    Newton Faulkner, 5/10.
    We get you got big from that TITP cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. But seriously, stop now.
    Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott 7/10.
    Love a good sing-song and this set was even better received than the one they played a week prior supporting Stone Roses.
    Harry Pane, 9/10.
    First ever visit to Rabbit Hole to see a local artist from near my home town and the perfect soundtrack for a broken man by lunchtime on the Sunday of Glastonbury - go check him out!
    Jeff Lynne's ELO, 7/10.
    Great set but no 'I was there' moment for me like I've had previously from Dolly's and Lionel's legends slots. [Cher for 2017]
    Years & Years, 2/10.
    The 2 marks is for the frontman's speech about equality.
    Cyndi Lauper, 6/10.
    Dragged along and enjoyed the ones I knew. For a 62 year old, she can still sing though!
    LCD Soundsystem, 8/10.
    After Cyndi played the 4 songs I knew with time to spare in the set, managed to trek across and catch the last 4 songs of these guys. Biggest regret of the weekend is not having these as my Sunday headliner!!

    They will be doing Silver Hayes for their 8hour(might be more) silent disco and from what I've heard it will be Chameleon and Kazbar. I'll drop a text to my old boss for definitive confirmation of the where's and when!

    I reckon Bullet will headline the second stage. Something like this would please me.

    Bring Me The Horizon

    Limp Bizkit

    Disturbed

    Alexisonfire

    While She Sleeps

    Alice Cooper

    Volbeat

    System Of A Down

    Deftones

    Stone Sour

    Killswitch Engage

    Coheed and Cambria

    All Time Low

    Sleeping With Sirens

    Black Sabbath

    Whitesnake

    Motörhead

    The Darkness

    Airbourne

    Bullet For My Valentine

    Skindred

    I'd say Bullet are far more likely to headline than BMTH imo. I'd expect to see Bullet-SOAD-Iron Maiden.

  23. Spotted at Glasto - Who did you see?

    Posted

    Saw Cara Delevigne and entourage trying to go the wrong way through the SE Corner and were duly told it didn't matter which wristband she had.

    Spotted Daisy Lowe in Shangri-La

    Annie Mac and Sara Cox at Silver Hayes bar

    Saw Peace at about 5am off their tree near to Stone Circle one night

    Didn't stop any for a photo as they all looked like they were enjoying their weekend and felt it was inappropriate to keep interrupting them!

    Some of this sounds horrendous man. I don't think I'll ever go for coach tickets unless it's desperation!

    I have an old account that I used to get a coach ticket as a reserve. Didn't get a ticket in main sale so was very thankful to have a coach ticket already purchased!
