At Glasto it has to be The Flaming Lips>Radiohead in 2003, both performancess were totally brilliant and arguably The Lips were slightly better.

Elsewhere it is definitely Sigur Ros>Radiohead Rockwerchter 2008 as it was just totally mindblowing :blink:

first off...incredible amount of stage swapping on this thread

for me, Nick Cave into Blur, even if I missed the first part of him catching Bon Iver on the other. For some reason F'Lips just didn't do it for me in 2003 before RHead, which is my best ever Glasto set of course.

for ones i wasn't there for...and i'll lose any and all credibility for saying this...but for an oldtimer growing up in the 80's .... 1995's Simple Minds into The Cure would have been nice to catch, especially since Page & Plant were before them. Leonard Cohen into The Verve must have been brilliant too.

BEP into McCartney was pretty special, the energy they brought to the crowd brilliant, and will never forget that McCartney set as long as I live.... standing at the barrier with 100,000 odd people behind us all singing along to Hey Jude.... the fireworks and ticker tape for Live and Let Die... epic

    • 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...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
