Worst set you've ever seen at Glasto......

[EighteenSixty7]

Only been this year but Jake Bugg's set bored me to tears. I don't know whether it was a combination of the time or day, him and hangover/tiredness. I didn't take to it anyway.

Why do people sit through stuff they're not enjoying when there are 80 or something stages. Beyond me! Just go and find something to enjoy.

Usually because you've been dragged there by the OH!

We never usually go close to the front unless we both like the band so at least I can wonder over to a bar & somebody must have spiked my drink dear, that's why I didn't come back for 12 hours. _ No brownie points tho I'm afraid!

I met an absolute legend during Kenny Rogers this year, who upon speaking to him clearly wasnt enjoying Kenny Rogers as much as everyone else.

I was coming back from getting my wife a drink and saw an elderly couple sat near my wife, in the glasto sprit I asked the guy if he was enjoying Kennys performance......................."I cant stand the silly bastard" was his response. I asked him why he was watching him then. He said "well son, when your as old as I am and have been to as many glastos and done as much walking as we do every so often you need a sit down, we dont ever have a timetable so was walking and needed a sit down not knowing who was playing and this silly old c**t walked out, if my legs werent aching id be off !!", dispite the his abrupt nature I had a good chat about music and glastonbury for a good 20 minutes

The gorillaz was a bad one for us, lasted 4 songs then headed over to guilty pleasures for a shin dig instead!

[PurpleFire]

Been to one Glastonbury and the Foals were very disapointing last year!

Had a feeling they would be, or maybe that had an effect on what i was expecting but we left early to go see The Beat! Boom! Great Set!

[wirralchris]

rod stewart 2000! absolute crap.

[matt2007]

Without a doubt: Happy Mondays, sometime around the early 90s.

They cleared the Pyramid field in a couple of songs.

[Bobs]

Radiohead 2011.

Elbow everytime, just don't get them, and they bored me shitless.

U2, but i was in a horrendous mood, pissing down with Rain, and i thought they stunk the place out. AWFUL. Missed the Scream for that.

[formed a band]

Yeah Paul McCartney. Silly bastard

The lancashire hotspots. Please fuck off

[jeffie]

You met Russy then?

[pie_and_a_pint]

Cooper Temple Clause, Other Stage, 2003. First Glasto, so didn't know my way round. Had sent Mr P&P off to procure food, so had to stay where I was until he came back, thus had to listen to almost the whole, shite, set.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Franz Ferdinand 2009. pants.

[coma girl]

Florence 2010 or Paul Simon in 2011, she was just shouty and dull but I hadn't been expecting much at least. PS was a massive disapointment as he'd been one of my must sees that year and I'd looked forward to it for ages.

[mrtourette]

Saw Keanu Reeves' band (Dogstar?) in '99, what a load of shit. To their credit they took their pelting well, a fair few tennis balls and oranges flying at them.

[jackarmy]

The Rakes - Other Stage: 2009

Paul Simon - Pyramid: 2011

Beady Eye - Other Stage: 2013

[Wickedfaerie]

U2

[Morse Code]

La Roux - Other Stage 2010 (?)

Was only passing (honest!) but took long enough to pass that I knew it was the worst performance I've seen anywhere, never mind just Glastonbury. Truly ear splittingly awful....

[The Nal]

Pendulum. An aural tsunami.

[adjwholovesmusic]

The Dandy Warhol's in 2002 take some beating. They were awful. I was really looking forward to the Fleet Foxes in 2008 i think it was and I was totally under whelmed by them. Their first album was great but they were really dull live.

[jeffie]

All most of these replies say to me is that Glastonbury has a fabulously diverse crowd, reflected by efests.

Which is good
