One to forget ?

[ramragon]

Just to pass the time until the next announcement I'm sure we've all been to see acts at festivals that we regretted seeing because they were either crap or werent what we thought they'd be or turned up at a stage to watch a performance to realise there were only about 10 people there.

Whats the worst you've seen or the smallest crowd for a performance you've witnessed ? Doesnt have to be specific to Kendal !

From my experience I remember strolling in to a stage tent at Wickerman with my 12 year old daughter on the saturday morning just after the arena opened for the day. Must have been about 20 people standing waiting for the act to start, they strolled on stage, crash of drums and a barrage of napalm death style death metal hit us ! The expression on my daughters face said it all and we quickly left the tent, followed by pretty much the other 20 people

I'm pretty sure the hotpots opinion has been well voiced so try an avoid hotpot based abuse on this thread !

Here's my worst could of seen underworld the night before but the wife won so I saw this and 5ive !

Check out this video on YouTube:

I know it's going to upset a couple of regulars on here, but Wind Up Birds on the Calling Out stage last year were dire.

I can't even describe what my ears were thinking, but after 2 songs enough was enough and I was one of the many who were leaving.

You're exaggerating a bit there mick, come on.

There were only about 30 people in the tent at the start of the set !

[Comfy Bean]

Without doubt for me it was the sex pistols live at loch lomond 2008. Opened ok with Pretty Vacant and the crowd were well up for it but went downhill fast. After about 20mins he started ranting on about the queen and terrorsits ?

We left. Of course they were well past their "best" but it was a total shambles.

I`d say the opposite was this in 2003..............

Think there was only lippy & JDOG left in there!

[Ash1E]

Biggest disappointment for me was V2010 watching The Editors on the main stage,I've never seen a crowd go from being so entertained and up for it (The Courteeners) were on before them to so despondant,pretty gutted because at the time was quite a fan,without actually seeing them perform live,and dont think I saw them perform that day.

[ramragon]

Another one I'll never forget that I thought would be ok beforehand but were woeful were the fratellis, main support on Glastonbury main stage in 2008, probably the worst booking slot I've seen in my times there. They had just released their 2nd album and apart from the singalong to Henrietta and Chelsea dagger it was a totally forgettable performance.

I'll ignore MickL's comments! Clearly suffering from sunstroke! Thought Maximo were piss poor.

And me and Lippy loved it ! One mans poison and all that..

My main disappointment was Dizzy last year. It didn't feel the right act on a Saturday night at Kendal. Went and sulked in the Calling Out.

Tim and Mark from the Charlatans in 2011. Was really looking forward to them having seen the full band a few times in 2010 and they were ace!

Thought the acoustic duo were rubbish!

Was looking forward to The Charlatans at Leeds Festival in 2005 but they were truly awful. Tim Burgess spent most of the set rambling on about how he shouldn't be playing in the daylight because they were bigger than that.

[JackSssmith]

I also had a snooze on the hill during The Charlatans acoustic set....

Not sure what to expect this year since they're headlining..... hmmm....

[Jacko450]

Saw The Charlatans at Bingley last year, literally everyone just switched off.

Yes there was a lot of younger people but there performance was just a nothing performance.

Will be giving them a miss this year 100%

Paul Simon at glastonbury 2011 was tedious at best. He did apologise after the set though.

[blue6field]

He was still miles better than radioheads park performance!

Yeah I was there for that one as well. Remember before I went putting Paul Simon down as one of my must catch acts an being so disappointed. Very poor. Didn't manage to catch radiohead in the park that yera, thankfully
