How many bands/acts?

With all this talk of clashes etc, it got me thinking about the amount of acts I actually managed to see last year.

Personally the only acts who's entire set I think I watched were Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder and my mate Kormacs big band in club dada in Shangri La.

So how many bands/acts did you actually stay for an entire set last year?

Oooh good question.

Erm...

Rolf

Snoop

Gorillaz

Orbital

PSB

Snap!

Ray Davies

Tuung

Almost the whole of Miike Snow

The Wurzels (although technically I was asleep through half of it due to over exertion the night before!)

Stavros Flatley in Dada - all 5 minutes of it - Special Guests...hoped it was Kylie!!!

Fake Blood

Scissor Sisters

THAT is pretty good going for me with complete sets. There were snippet experiences as well but I was more of a nighthawk. I am quite impressed at my main stage haul. I used to avoid the Pyramid lots.

Detroit Social Club

Courteeners

La Roux

Florence

Bootleg Beatles

Biffy Clyro

Editors

Muse

Paloma Faith

We Are Scientists

MGMT

Stevie Wonder

That's 12, Still did loads of other stuff too.

The way I always see it, if you saw the bands at their own gigs, it would cost a hell of a lot more than £190 you pay for Glasto nowadays. Plus you get 5 days of being in the best place on the planet!!

(Just realised how much time I spent at the Pyramid stage :lol: probs be killed for that)so thats 18 minus the ones I didn't stay for the whole set. Not bad going probs would been more but the heat was getting to me :P Plus the best food places are far away from pyramid/other/john peel. Missed most of Tunng and all of slash due to the stupid decision to go see football!

As you can see not very many bands there but I tend to opt for the "Only watch the bands you really want to see and wander round the circus feilds/green fields a bit more" option. I prefer it better that way because it's less hectic.

Yeah, I saw loads of bands/DJs, but mainly only bits and pieces of each one.

I think I saw all of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble on the friday as well actually, now that I come to think of it.

Last year was my first time so I spent the majority of it on my way to see someone and getting distracted by something completely random.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
