What it says in the title - rather than personal picks or Spotify's 'Top Tracks' or whatever, these are the songs each act has actually been playing live most over the past year or two, identified using Setlist.fm and additional Googling.  Gives a better indication of what they're going to sound like live IMO.  5 tracks per artist, in poster order (once the poster is with us), otherwise TBCs/SRs/people I'm confident about.  It's certainly been an education putting it together, and I hope some of you give it a listen and find it useful:

Glastonbury 2016

It's incredible the amount of effort you must put in every year to share this with us, as just for us listeners the amount of tracks is huge by the time we get close to the full line up.

You're truly are a Knight and a gentleman :D

I found your playlist absolutely brilliant when I went - I identified some new people to watch out for - and one of the best moments was bopping around to Will and the People in the Bimble Inn which I'd never have found if I hadn't heard them on your Spotify list.

Haven't got a ticket this year - hope to get one in the resale and can't decide if I can bear to try the playlist before knowing if I can go....

Ah thanks guys, that's great to hear :). Particularly glad to hear of you finding a new band to go see, @Beerqueen. It does take up quite a lot of my time but being a bit of a muso-geek I enjoy it (mostly), and if a playlist this comprehensive didn't exist then I'd have to make it. If you see what I mean. Although if someone else fancies doing this next year that'd be good...

And yeah, @ICGenie, I agree about Radiohead! Tempted to take them off there so as to not get people's hopes up, but Neil still seems reasonably confident.

Added SG Lewis to the playlist from @jed300's tip, updated Last Shadow Puppets with the new album, and improved the Ernest Ranglin selections after a little more research. It's a shame Spotify doesn't have the album the latter recorded with Tony Allen and Courtney Pine, with whom he'll be playing at G.

The wife had this playlist blasting (and it is awesome!) out all weekend while doing the housework. She is at least 50% more productive than before we discovered it. I am forever in your debt. :rofl:

Before I went I genuinely thought that the main things to see would be bands I'd heard of.  Now I know for sure that if I get a ticket, I'm just as likely to see only (ok mainly) bands I've never heard of before.  Thinking about it, the one person I think I will definitely see this year (fingers crossed) is another one I found through your playlist of two years ago - Gaz Brookfield, who I've also made a point of seeing locally as a result.  So thanks.  I'm going to listen to the playlist anyway - sod tempting fate.

Cheers for the nice comments @Miesh and @Avalon_Fields, glad you're making use of it. I'm very much looking forward to Mbongwana Star myself, on a sunny afternoon in West Holts they should be just the ticket.

Added Four Tet from @your mother's tip-off. His 3 tracks clock in at over 45 minutes!

 

Just got a pleasant surprise when Four Tet came on! What was the tip off for him being there this year?

@your mother snapchatted him, asked him and he nodded. If only every artist was that simple!

Added new TBC Natty, and Lucinda Williams who's blatantly playing with that gig on the 23rd, to the playlist.

If St Paul and the Broken Bones make it from SR to Farm, I will definitely be down the front.... hadn't heard of them before this playlist

They've self confirmed. Now officially my must see, doesn't matter who else is on, band of the weekend. Half the City Is my favourite album of the last few years.

Playing on the 25th

I know this has been echoed by a number of people on this forum, but thank you for pulling this together! 

As soon as the line-up was announced I wanted to discover a couple of gems that I've not listened too our heard of before. This allows me to do that at ease!

Found a new love for LCD Soundsystem! Can't believe I've never given them a whirl before.

@Brave Sir Robin any info on why Parquet Courts are in there? Nicely surprised on that one too!

Anything that is an SR or a TBC on efestivals rumours page is on the list. 

As Scruffy says, they're on there because they're a SR. They became one when their tour dates appeared to have a Glasto-shaped hole, but now they're in Holland Friday, and France Saturday and Monday so seems unlikely. Unless @eFestivals has any info...?

A few updates to the Glastonbury 2016 playlist:

  • Added latest TBCs Larkin Poe, Danny L Harle and Andrew Maxwell Morris, and forum tips the inevitable Catfish & The Bottlemen (@Odessa) and John Cooper-Clarke and Luke Wright (@___S_o_m_a__).
  • Updated song selections Chvrches, Ezra Furman, Matey Three, Lumineers and Reef from recent setlists.
  • Moved D'Angelo down to after the poster acts - weird we don't know what's gone on there yet.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
