Major Lazer THEN Public Enemy!

[Mark Pooler]

I am personally guilty as many of you may be of being a bit of a Pyramid/Other Stage-hanger from late afternoon until close on my five previous visits to Glasto. I always say that I'm going to wander but end up too "drunk" to move. THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT!!! All of my mates (including my wife) are watching Primal Scream/Stones but I've seen the Stones before(not really impressed) and the chance of seeing Public Enemy is too much of a draw for moi. Now added to the mix in Major Lazer. I'd heard of them but I didn't know much so I YouTube'd them performing at Coachella. It was absolute carnage and I have to say it's going to be this year's Dizzee/2010 moment. Cannot wait y'all!!!

if this is true for the Satuday then it'll be Major Lazer then Stones for me... much better than Primal Scream

Genuinely not wanting to urinate on any bonfires here but I saw Public Enemy at Bestival and they were about one step up from dreadful, I had looked forward to seeing them for absolutely ages and when they came on it was just stale. I have heard good things about their shows in the past so perhaps they had an off day, Major Lazer will be all sorts of fun though, I will probably be begrudingly watching Primal Scream and the Stones on Saturday night!

[BigMarv]

Disagree, Matt. Saw them in London and they brought the party! Yes, I will be going to see The Stones, but am gutted about missing out on Public Enemy.

Did anyone read the article in NME about Major Lazer?

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Yeah like I said could easily just have been an off day and having heard good things assumed that to be the case, just didn't work at all and felt like a couple of elderly blokes shouting over a cd

[Mark Pooler]

Dizzee 2010/11 was pretty much the same with him and yer man shouting over the backing track. But after seeing ML at Coachella you can tell that they can certainly work the big crowd. I hope I'm right, if not my punishment will be to watch Mumford & Sons on Sunday. Fingers crossed everyone......

Me and the wife are going to have a row about Saturday night, After watching ML at Coachella I am really up for them, but the wife wants to go and see Johnny Marr. Maybe we will split up and meet in the middle at the Stones

[Cooter]

As much as I worship the Public they are an inside venue band. Outside at a festival where half the crowd can wander onwards when they get bored with the shouting won't be impressive for anyone, let alone competing with the Stones. I'm glad they've got a top slot at Glasto but maybe in the afternoon on the pyramid would have been better.

[Mark Pooler]

Dizzee in 2010 was with a full live band

[dan05delaney]

Can't see the band on there!!??!!

Tell you what Dan, you bring the backing track and I'll bring the microphones, we can nail this Glasto shit!!!

[dan05delaney]

Wrong video to use as he came back on without the band to do Bonkers at the end (And florence came on to do you got the dirtee love....

To prove Dan isn't going mad and seeing things:

He rocked that mashup!

Dizzee played about half of the set with a band, then they disappeared. I distinctly remember because Guthrie Govan, arguably one of the current great guitarists was playing for him at the time. I arrived at the set late but extremely excited to see one of my favourite guitarists before he wandered off and Dizzee went solo. Pretty gutted, but it ended up being an good show, Dizzee definitely knows how to work a crowd.

I also saw Public Enemy at Bestival, and to be honest, I just found it the same as Snoop back in 2010. Alright for a while and then it just got really boring, so I went somewhere else.

I'm still undecided on the Rolling Stones? Whilst I think it will be one of those 'I was there' moments. Apart from a few classics, I'm not fussed either. Depends who's playing elsewhere at the same time?

Definitely want to see Major Lazer though, especially due to where it's at.

Only one choice Sat night and thats Chase and Status

Nas is going to eb on that day? I was thinking Nas then Public Enemy if possible!

[dan05delaney]

I've been told that they're pretty 'meh' live.
