Seeing her support Shakey two weeks before. Never got into her. Wasn't impressed on pyramid but think maybe it was the wrong setting for her. Plus was sat exhausted near a load of chatters on their blankets so wasn't listening properly.

Haven't got tickets but will try to see that tour in Dubland.

Marling is ace. Really.

Would've been fun to see Iggy's current tour hit Glasters. 

His new album is a joy to behold.

I saw Ed Sheeran at Wembley, surprisingly very very good 

saw him at an arena here last year (the ex wanted to go), he was also very good. i didn't like the music, but he put on a good show, so no issues with him headlining Glastonbury.

No extra words needed

I reckon PJ Harvey will deliver the goods with her latest, too. Really can't wait for that one.

This and the Adele threads are remarkably like the Kanye thread last year.

Massive fan and I wasn't particularly impressed on the pyramid either. Definitely the wrong setting.

Wassat? Was Courtney not well received?

Pyramid performance last year was a bit flat. Better a few fields across later on though.

Have you heard her tunes?

Ah right. Yeah, I preferred Courtney in the JP the year before but still enjoyed her on the Pyramid.

Laura Marling's sound just drifted across the Pyramid field with no one seemingly paying too much attention. A victim of the wrong stage and the Sunday Pyramid crowd.

I <3 Courtney.

[Superscally]

Me too.

[jparx]

Courtney is the best. Missed on the Pyramid last year, but caught the second half of the William's Green set and it was mega.

[Wooderson]

It was loose but fun, I thought.

[mr gumby]

Hope Courtney comes back. Wanted to see her last year, but also wanted to see Frank Turner, and absolutely had to see Vintage Trouble after their oh-so-promising set in 2014 was cut short by the storm. 

[Mardy]

I enjoyed CB a lot. Maybe not quite as much as her sets the year before, but standing up close in the sun watching her not give a fuck, yeah, nice memory.

[Andeeroo]

CB's album was my favourite of last year so it was a given I was going to enjoy it regardless.

I didn't know anything by her prior to it so I dunno if that changes anything but a few of her fans on here didn't seem impressed. I only saw the pyramid but enjoyed. Is my memory right that waterboys were straight after or before. Biggest surprise of weekend for me that as to how good they were. 

Mate the Waterboys was a treat! Like you I was also surprised. They sounded *wonderful*.

[Mardy]

In fact, yeah, there's something linking all 3 of the artists i saw on the Pyramid last year. In a world of increasing production values, effects, carefully timed visuals and synchronised performances on the main stage, CB, the Waterboys and Patti Smith all nailed it with some spontaneous freewheeling notgivingafuckery.

Waterboys were the biggest surprise of the weekend for me. I'd written them off years ago, but they really were superb.

[home to you]

Wasn't a patch on the JP or Park sets but Courtney was still ace last year. Got tickets for her Somerset House gig yesterday, looking forward to that 

[buddiepaul]

The Waterboys are an enduring favourite of mine, so got down the front.  They were good and I am glad others enjoyed the set too.  What was amazing was the huge rush of people pouring in as soon as they finished to see George Ezra.  If only they had of got there earlier, they could have seen sone real talent.
