One act you want there more than anybody

[keeno]

Florence, on any stage and any slot. I just want her there.

[ghandi]

There are loads I would like to see but of a must it has to be either Radiohead or Bjork, though I've seen Radiohead a few times , even in the Park doing TKOL, I want to see a Pyramid set. I've never seen Bjork, I'd love her to play again but to do a sort of greatest hits / or best of album set, that would be truly amazing.

[Padgey]

I'm sure this thread says "One act"!

Muse for me, never seen them and heard they are great live.

My first Glastonbury was 2003 and the highlight of an amazing festival was Radiohead on The Pyramid. I remember the magic of coming in to the Pyramid field from Cider bus side and looking up and seeing the fires on the hill and haziness from the smoke. I missed that this year. The lack of wax flares on sale everywhere took away the colour somewhat. Mind you I was camped at the barrier for Elbow, Arcade Fire, Robert Plant and Metallica so I wouldn't have seen it.

When it's Saturday evening and you want to start taking it right off the dial then it's got to be AC/DC.

Would love Pixies as missed outn last year!

spot on, but judging by your post you missed the flaming lips in 2003 you crazy fool!

Some incarnation of The Grateful Dead. The band is 50 next year.

Finally, something I can get on board with, it's been about 50 posts on this thread since there's been mention of a band that hasn't made me want to run screaming to the hills.

I kind of accept that the DSO probably aren't ever going to play Glastonbury, unfortunately

But Wayne Coyne can't sing

Saw them a few years later and they were marvellous. Should have went to see them in 2003. Mind you the line up that year was superb and I think I choose to watch The Coral instead

Only because no one has mentioned:

[Wooderson]

Also, can someone at Glasto HQ book Lanegan already? He'll play the bandstand FFS.

Love the interpretation of 'one act' on this thread. But I agree - far too hard to pick one! If I had to, it'd be Tom Waits, but I think the head starter also said realistic so that's out the window. Yusuf Islam, Ray Lamontagne and Simon and Garfunkel are also to some extent unrealistic - leaving me with Depeche Mode I think.

I'd also love to see David Ford (formerly of easyworld) there. Not because I haven't seen him dozens of times already, I'm just baffled as to why he's never been booked. Seems to fit with the festival perfectly to me, and he'd be great in Acoustic or Avalon. No idea why this hasn't happened yet.

Lanegan will play on a days notice! Not expensive either.

Yearly shout from me for William Elliot Whitmore. Same deal. He'll play the bandstand before Lanegan for a packet of crisps and a pint of cider.

With Chris Robinson as "Jerry". Hes trying his best!

I saw art garfunkel last month. His voice is still destroyed. I dont think he'll ever get it back to be honest. Sad.

Cool, who plays in their line up these days? also Jefferson starship or Eric Burdon would be great, would love to see the festival reach back to the 60s a bit more

Phil and Bobby have toured together in various incarnations. The drummers kinda do their own thing. As Nal says tho anyone could sit in for an evening. Would be a real treat. Michael E has always been disappointed that the Dead never appeared at his fest.

[Wooderson]

Scott Efest has lobbied on this issue to Worthy HQ top brass in the past. Can't think of a better Holts headliner it has to be said. Hearing Dark Star or Scarlet/Fire at Glasters would be very very special indeed.

pearl jam

THIS

[kemosabe]

Realistic - Frightened Rabbit

Unrealistic - System Of A Down

[rumpola]

Queens of the Stone Age please.

And Radiohead if I'm allowed to be greedy.

[OBface]

Ani DiFranco or The Roots.

This.

Plus Caribou and Aphex Twin

[Anarion]

Would have to say The National, but not holding my breath considering they were listed as a "strong rumour" for both 2013 and 2014 but ended up not playing.

That's a shame. They were always one of my 'must see before I (or they) die' acts.

In that case I'll go for a return performance from Don McLean.

[davefrompompey]

Or Willie Nelson.
