Jeff Buckley in Reading '94 and Glasto '94 probably the worse one for me. Grace has since become an all-time favourite and I never got to see him live. I missed Pavement at both those as well, probably because I was watching Terrorvision or something!

A friend of mine is constantly getting verbally abused (by me) for missing Bob Dylan at Glasto '98 to see.... Bentley Rhythm Ace. Admittedly a bad performance by Bob on the day, but still, Bentley Rhythm Ace?!

Of the 15 of us who went to Glasto in 2013, 2 of us went to Radiohead on the Saturday night, 12 went to Kasabian and one went to the tent in a complete mess.

2 out of 15 witnessed the greatest headline set ever (in my opinion).

The rest have never been allowed to forget it

I missed Iggy for Africa Express. Start a tough one, but I still think I made the right call there.

Yes! That was a heck of a night in retrospect.

Have to say tho Stu, the "Take over!/I can't take this bullshit anymore/Bring back the Wispa/No Fun" climax to Iggy is something I'll always regret no witnessing first hand.

My worst has to be not being arsed to move after Nick Cave and watching Mumfords with a friend of mine who was keen on seeing them.

'Ah it's okay, I'll just have to see Bobby Womack at one of his shows in the future' :( Was gutted when I saw he'd passed on whilst waiting for Daptone at WH last year.

EDIT: Most of the other regrets I've rectified by going to the acts' own shows (minus maybe Flaming Lips and QOTSA), but that one wasn't a good moment for me.

I often wake up screaming in a film of cold sweat when my subconscious remembers I missed 'that' Flaming Lips set for Gorillaz.

Walked past them playing on my way to Groove Armada which was rammed then on to Gorrilaz, the tiny bit of the light show I caught was prob the best I've seen. Choices eh!

1st year I went, remains the stand out moment for me ever since. Sorry and all that :)

I know I can beat anything on here.

I missed David Bowie for The Bluetones!

its one of those things I shouldn't even admit to. It gets harder to understand how I did it as the years pass, but I can only say that I have genuinely never been a massive fan of Bowie, and I did really love The Bluetones 'at the time'. The thing is as you look back - The Bluetones???? Really??? How the hell???

    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
    • I left and went home, saw the Massive Attack update when I got in the door. Typical 💀
