Wrong Choice ...

Have any of you had a major clash at Glasto, or indeed any festival, and then regretted seeing the choice that you made.

This could be because the band/artist that you saw was poor, or because you heard that the band you chose not to see was amazing.

Im just wondering, because i really want to watch Mos Def on friday night, but no matter how good he is, i have a feeling that i will have made a major mistake with missing U2.

Prodigy last year...

quite possibly the stupidest mistake I have ever ever made in my entire life. I still cant bring myself to listen to any Blur even now.

I chose British Sea Power over most of Neil Young. Caught the end of Neil and realised it may have been a bad choice, got home, bought Harvest and realised it was definitely a bad choice.

BSP were great though, I've just seen them loads of times.

Yep, missed Radiohead in 97. Couldn't get 2003 off work. Missed seeing them in Manchester in 2008 to go to Glasters.

Arse.

At glasto missing white lies to trek to dance village to give mate his tobacco - mind i could only just walk having spent much of the day at the brothers bar.

and not going to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs :P no battery on phone and didnt want to lose everyone i was with

not at glasto; missing muse at V08 to see the prodigy

dont get me wrong, the prodigy were f**king incredible, muse are my favourite band, prodigy 2nd. at the point i'd seen muse twice but not seen the prodigy

only a bad choice because i went on to see the prodigy 5 times within a year & lost my phone during the set.

I chose 2manyDj's over Bruce last year, no big deal at the time. but about october last year i went through a massive Bruce phase and hated myself for missing him!

Went to see the manics on the pyramid stage in 1999 , against a friends advice(who wished to see orbital) & was bored to tears. Managed to catch the last 20 minutes or so of orbital which was tremendous. A mood thing , I think, but a mistake nonetheless

My mate turning up on the Friday night in 2007 just as I'd double dropped and was about to go and see Fatboy Slim.

He didn't have anyone elses numbers we were camped with, which was lucky for him as he rang me approx 2 mins before I was about to go into the the tent to see Fatboy (and would have never heard it in there!)

Helping him carry his stuff across the Pyramid Stage in the mud whilst I was gurning like a cow chewing on cud was a good look to loads of bemused Arctic Monkeys fans. :P

Quite a few years back there was a clash of about 4 bands all headlining. My mind melted and I just sat at my tent and smoked (could hear leftfield on the Other Stage though). A friend came back from seeing Fliming Lips in the New Band Tent (as it was then) and said it was the most emotional gig he'd ever seen. Was gutted.

And a few years later I chose Ozric Tenticles over Sigur Ros, that wasn't one of my best moves either.

    • I don’t believe I’m one of the aforementioned ladies but if I may, I have a scale I developed that may be of interest in deciding whether you should pursue them?   THE [REDACTED] SCALE: 10- physical perfection so impossible by definition 9- highest mark possible. Very few in the world. Margot Robbie is one example ( in wolf of Wall Street particularly) 8- literally the best looking birds you will see in real life walking around. As I said you won't see that many. Maybe a few in a day walking round Chichester for 24 hours  7- this is as I have already said a very very good mark and means the bird is fit and a head turner. But you see more of them than the 8's.  6- very decent Mark. If you got 60% in an exam you would be pretty chuffed yes?!...think of it that way.  5- this is the average score. The bang average for a bird. So they are not hideous and they are not really that fit. Probably your bread and butter on a night out.  4- starting to get ropey here. On an evening out you would probably consider planting one up them with a few lagers down ya. I have smashed a few 4's in my time. We all have.  3- this is ropey. Either fat, or ugly. Not both.  2- fat and ugly. A f**king disgrace that you would be well embarrassed about.  1- absolutely rancid and the worst mark at all possible. I have rarely seen anyone pull a 1/10 genuinely apart from one of my mates Faz who pulled a r*****, another mate who pulled a dwarf and another mate who pulled an ugly bird so fat he 'could not get his arms round her' and 'something came off her nipple in his mouth' when he was sucking her tits' 0- physically impossible.
    • Hello. I was hoping this fine community could help me with an inquiry.   I had the most magical afternoon in 2025 dancing to my favourite artist, Rizzle Kicks, with two vibrant ladies and a dashing man. The girls had lathered up with what looked like extra suncream while he was wearing a distinctive piece of hatwear.   We were thick as thieves and had a jack ball, before retiring to a nearby refreshment stand to munch some sushi.   Sadly, I'd had a shandy and did not get any of their names or numbers. Foolish! Chalk it up to that classic Glasto spirit, a bauble of which lives within me very tightly all year long.   But fortunate strikes when you least it expect it... while browsing the ol' twitter, I came across a photo of what certainly looked like it might have been them. I shall attach below. My memory is a little hazy so I can't be sure.   Does anyone know who they are? And if so, how I can in touch with them?
    • Happy to report there are still some really good people in the world. I went to 'in conversation' talks with Maxine Peake and Chris Packham today. Two fine examples of humanity.
    • More performance than gig, but The Eccentronic Research Council with Maxine Peake was quite the experience. Readings of peoples dream narratives over electronic beats and bleeps, and a bit of Shelley to finish.
