I would have to say that shambolic set on the Pyramid by the Happy Mondays a few years ago.

Oh, and Ian Brown was WOEFUL too.

Didn't enjoy the bits of Nick Cave or Franz Ferdinand I saw under duress last year either but that was expected so not a disappointment! :P

being honest now - worst band I have seen at glastonbury was this decades answer to Kula Shaker - Kashitbian

although saying seen, I watched for 1 song, then fell asleep - absolute tripe, over hyped, and think of themselves as the saviours of rock

hopefully, they will go the same way as Kula, and disappear very soon

I was disappointed too to be honest. The things I'd heard about Macca being such an important part of rock music history. I think there was quite a lot of hype. But all he did was play cover versions of old Beatles numbers! What was that all about? Hasn't he got any of his own material?

If I want a Beatles tribute band, I'll watch the Bootleg Beatles.

Was wondering past when East 17 took to the stage last year which was 24 Carat dogshit - enough to make your toenails fall off.

But my money is on Sandi Thom to beat the worst ever Glasto performance this year with something truly suicide inducing.

Slightly off topic, different fest: One of the greatest performances was Iggy Pop & the Stooges at Electric Picnic in 2007, absolutely amazing. Guess who came on after them, Primal Scream, talk about an anti-climax. I never seen a main stage area clear so fast, they just seemed so slow and tepid compared to the greatest rockers to hit a stage, the Stooges.

most disappointing ever would have to be arctic monkeys at leeds last year. was just so boring.

at glasto? I'd heard good things about the boxer rebellion, so went to see them to get a good spot for art brut. needn't have bothered in the end and i saw nothing in the boxer rebellion that would have deserved the hype i'd been told about.

2003 - Suede, Pyramid - "BOUNCE, BOUNCE! YEAH!" Jeez Brett, you used to be cool

2009 - Fleet Foxes, Pyramid. Are...are they on? I just though the album was playing very quietly in the background

2009 - Kasabian, Pyramid - "Put your hands in the air" No. You keep saying that every song Strawberry-jacket boy, and still the answer is no, as I'm only putting them in the air when you play something good.

Ben Folds - Other Stage 2008

Bringing some random woman (her out of Dresden Dolls I think) out and letting her do a couple of songs of her album that he had produced - we came to see you, not her!! Only partially redeemed by finishing with Landed and Bitches.

Oh... and it was the Other Stage which generally sucks the life out of any band (Elbow excepted)

Oh Oh....and it was raining... :P

    • I’ve said it elsewhere too but Emily Eavis said a 2028 headliner was booked, to me that’s only going to be someone the size of Oasis or Taylor Swift
    • Christ didn't even see that! 
    • It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
    • Second go.....    Still f**king fantastic - Well done WIlliam Orbit -  Bugman & Trimm Trabb mega tracks - No Distance Left To Run hauntingly Beautiful  
    • Just realised it was 13 he produced not this one DOH!!!!
