Best and most memorable for me was Blur. I started weeping as them came on stage as I realised how important they had been in my life and how lucky I was to be there. The fact they followed up that epiphany with one of the greatest sets I've ever seen just made it as good as an egg custard on a hangover morning.

I was going to go see Ray Davies but I went and saw Bloc Party instead as couldn't face the treck from JP tent to Acoustic Stage. Huge Huge mistake.

Mine was Florence & the Machine, even though she had not even released an album when she played you oould tell she was going to be massive when you saw that set

The Wonder Stuff, Avalon, Saturday night.

or Kasabian. (Dare I even say the lights were good at the Ting Tings on Friday night?)

Not the most memorable of years for bands. 2008 was way better.

Elbow

Hot Chip

The Enemy

Kosheen

Groove Armada

I still can't decide between Neil Young and Blur

Neil Young is my all time favourite artist and to see him on such amazing form was truly magical, I was just watching his performance last night on Sky+ and it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. But then I grew up with Blur and first got into music as a young 'un just before the whole Oasis/Blur bollocks kicked off and right from the minute they walked on stage you knew it was going to be something truly special.

A real tough one that I've thought about a lot since June.

Idlewild - Dingwalls

Played all 6 of their albums (+half of Captain EP, a bside & Queen of the Troubled Teens) over 3 days. Made friends with other queuers on the first day and we hung out for all 3. Was definitely one of the best gig experiences I've ever had, by the end staff were recognising fans and being really chatty, the atmosphere was amazing, the band were in great spirits and played lots of requests (including 2 of mine). Plus I got poster #1 and got it signed. Pretty much perfect :P

    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
    • No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
    • Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
