Do you ever look through old line ups and

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

Deciding to watch Klashnikov and catching the end of the who was a stupid idea, wish I'd seen their whole set.

[ThomThomDrum]

I chose Arctic Monkeys over Portishead. God knows why.

Yikes!

Im personally still smarting over that Gorillaz gig and the fact I didnt head to the Other stage for the Lips..........

But my darkest Glasto day (not clash decision related) is the Sunday in 2010 when I missed a full day with the exception of half of a Slash gig due to sun stroke........

No Ray Davies

No Stevie Wonder

No Faithless

No LCD Sound System

No Orbital

There was a fair amount of clashiness I did not even get to consider there

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

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???

Oh dear, that's terrible.

Think the guy being dragged away from one of the most famous Nirvana performances is worse though.

slight return is a great song......

I saw Marina and the Diamonds instead of LCD Soundsystem at Reading a while back. She was brilliant but wtf was I doing.

I also seemed to be one of very few people not at Dolly Parton last year (went to Dry The River) but I don't regret that one

[willsnewman]

My stand out glastonbury regret was seeing Mumford instead of the xx in 2013. Not quite in the level of others mistakes, especially as I'll more than likely see them some day...

[FuzzyDunlop]

I saw the Prodigy over blur and dont regret it at all.

Going to the leeds festival between 2003 - 2008 rather than glastonbury because I couldn't be arsed travelling is a MASSIVE regret!

[Matt42]

Still can't believe i chose to see Dizzie Rascal over foals.

That's pretty small fry though, surely?

[Babylon sister]

I've looked back and missed loads of great bands, some more than once. I guess at the end of the day one of the things I like best about glastonbury is its one of the few places you can do this. That's why the headliners really aren't that important. Whatever you see is how it's meant to be, it's your festival

Ps I've no regrets about Rolf, he may be a c*** but back in the day I had a great time singing along with many thousands of other festival goers. Such is life.

[Divein]

I regret see Radiohead instead of Morrissey in 2011, could not see a thing up there.

I know someone who spent the Sunday night in 09 sat on the hill.

Could have seen any of Blur, Prodigy or Echo and the Bunnymen

[SteveTLizard]

2011 ..... Saw Kieser Shites for some mad mad reason, then got dragged off by missus and mates to see Cool and The Gang for solitary "comedy" get down on it sing-a-log, instead of see the legendary QOTSA headline slot on t'other.

Still row with my missus to this very day about that.

I did that. No regrets.

QOTSA were fantastic too

[Dora]

I chose Arctic Monkeys over Portishead. God knows why.

I did the opposite and still regret it

[FuzzyDunlop]

Picking the Gorillaz over the Flaming lips was disgraceful.

I should have watched DJ Yoda instead of Kasabian last year, as was my plan.

[Nickyboy]

My most idiotic moment was Sunday 2005 - Jem at the John Peel instead of Brian Wilson. We could hear the cheers from the Pyramid inside the JP tent, so knew we'd missed a blinder.

What was I thinking?

Not even the Kaiser Chiefs could ruin the combo of Eels and QOTSA being so close together on the bill..

Happy days

[CaledonianGonzo]

21 years of festival going and the only one I regret is seeing Jack White last year and not making the effort to drag myself to Seun Kuti on West Holts. Got to plead sheer laziness on that one.

It was good to see for a "I was there and saw him" moment. Performance wise he was pretty terrible. It was all backing singers with him mumbling along.

[Spindles]

When I was leaving portishead there was a couple having a massive row as they'd ruined their evening watching a band they hated when they could have been elsewhere...just the sound of the boyfriend yelling "I know they were shit, but everyone said they'd be great" was hysterical, as pretty much everyone else at the gig had a magical experience and they clearly hated every minute.

Woah, woah, woah. Brian himself may not have been brilliant, but his backing band were at the height of their powers, having just toured Smile. Musically, it was excellent. So many musicians on stage doing faithful renditions of Brian's original 60s arrangements.

Tried to catch some Yoda after Kasabian but WG was just too rammed by the time we got there.

[Mezhyp1]

I watched Fuck Buttons instead of The Rolling Stones, and I absolutely stand by it

Hahaha, I apologise. It just had the feel of wheel out the legend to sit and bang away on his keyboard while mumbling the words to his songs. The rest of the band were, as you say, excellent.
