Lostprophets 07

Biffy 07

Marmaduke Duke 08

Weezer 10

30stm??? Come on hart, it was like a Robbie Williams concert, leto sang about 5 lines from each song. Only difference was the crowd wasn't singing back.

I was actually quite looking forward to them but it was a horrible performance. You must really be a big fan to have enjoyed that

I'm trying to remember the 08 set, but all I can remember is the incredible crush as people packed in for Rage, so I think because of that I enjoyed the 10 set more. Plus didn't they open with Feel Good Hit of the Summer and Lost Art of Keeping a Secret? That was pretty good. Neither of them were the best I've seen Queens though.

[mrtourette]

'10 was better, they were pretty lacklustre in '08 and I think admited it afterwards.

[Asdaprice]

Interesting, I was at both and remember thinking 08 was superb, but then again, I was quite close to the front and maybe the hype about seeing rage got to me in this set too. There was alot of crowd pushing though for sure

[Simpo]

Josh said in 2008 they played a pretty chilled set (for them) as they knew everyone wanted to go wild for RATM and they didn't wanna burn everyone out. Cool gesture really. Plus it meant we got to see this amazing altered version of Go With The Flow!

[Simpo]

Found Josh explaining what I said pretty much.

[TheBoz]

Muse 2011 mainly because of OoS so getting to see Space Dementia and Hyper Music live

[Asdaprice]

Muse in 11 was fucking dire

[Yellow_Fellow]

10. Lostprophets (2009)

[lightning1000]

i made the worst idea ever of seeing that set. It was awful. Ian couldn't remember the words, the band were too slow, they butchered old songs and the set was just so heavy with new stuff. Worst I've ever seen them.

[DaveElNino]

Radiohead in 2009 just edges out Nine Inch Nails in 2007 - and I think that's solely because I knew all of Radiohead's set but only knew half of NIN's.

Highly honourable mentions go to Brand New in 2007 in the R1 Tent, Arcade Fire in 2005 in the R1 Tent (and on the main in 2007 and 2010), Metallica in 2008, Rage Against the Machine in 2008, and Muse in the rain closing the main stage at Leeds in 2006.

Weezer in 2010 was everything that a festival setlist should be.

MCR in 2011 was great because it was surprisingly good, I was somehow right at the barrier at Leeds without meaning to be and just loved all the effort they put into their stage. I saw them at TITP that year too and on tour and they were nothing like that. It was awesome to see a band sink their money into a performance to make it memorable.

The Hives at 2012 was ridiculous. It was my first time seeing them and I'm now just angry at myself for not going to see them on all the previous tours. Saw them at Glasgow a few months later and they were just as good.

Kasabian in 2012 was great too. Again, didn't expect a lot, they were my least favourite headliner but they just put on a really good show.

Not got a lot of festivals to choose from but those were my personal highlights.

I tell you a great one people haven't mentioned!

Ash following enter shikari 2007. If, like me, you already couldn't stand KOL in those days or razor light, then it was a great double booking which seemed to cater for alot of us rock folk! Ash starting with lose control was amazing!
