Your Biggest 2015 Sacrifice

[kalifire]

With the line up all but settled now, we'll all be coming to terms with various clashes, but what single artist is going to be the hardest for you to let go?

Mine is Public Service Broadcasting. I've only just discovered them really, but I've fallen in love with their sound and their vision. They're part of a horrible 5-way clash on Saturday night, and I have to choose Kanye West, because I think he'll be the event of the weekend. But it's horrible. If Kanye starts ranting, I'll be legging it straight to Glade.

What's your most difficult sacrifice?

[stuartbert two hats]

Not going because it's too long to stay away from my young family.

[swede]

Not seeing The Who. My favourite band, best band Ive ever seen live, playing my favourite festival on what could be their last tour. Part of not seeing them is out of principle for the way they've treated their Paris fans and partly because Ive never seen Chems before.

[Bradders]

Jamie XX, cos he's like the only act my whole group was excited for and it would've been a nice moment to have us all together. I won't give a fuck when I'm watching Caribou by myself though.

[weaz]

Leftfield, if I can't persuade my group. There might be a small chance as we will probably be at Ben Howard but I think the attraction of being near the SE corner will take us to the Mothership (which isn't terrible)

[FuzzyDunlop]

Hot Chip. I have been a fan for a while. Never seeing them live either. Something has always cropped up.

I have only recently got into SFA, but I was really impressed with their back catalogue. I knew a few tunes, but the albums were excellent, I am only unhappy I missed out on them years ago.

I have watched some Live stuff and it will be a real winner of a Friday night.

All my mates will be at Hot Chip, but I am sticking with my decision.

FFS. Two of my favourite bands coming together to make a collaboration album which - although not everyone loves it - I certainly do.

But. The Who.

[ericlered]

Leftfield

Though I'm still hopeful I'll be able to catch the last half an hour after Suede, which would be better than nothing (i think)

[FloorFiller]

Jon Hopkins. managed to miss him at Primavera due to having to look after a far too drunk friend, and now having to miss him at Glastonbury due to the Kanye clash bahh

[ivan]

Probably Toy.

I left their set early last year in Williams Green for Metallica

This year they are clashing with Florence , not sure of the exact times but I think I will not be able to see full sets from both of em.

What could be a 5 way clash ? - I have had four before I think but never 5

[Untz]

The last 20 minutes (or more) of Lionel, especially if he saves Hello until the end, but I don't think I could bear to turn up part way through the Future Islands set.

[Bisque]

Missing Enter Shikari & Modestep on the Friday night.

[alframsey]

The only clash I have really is The Who/Ryan Adams and I'm not really decided either way, I saw The Who in 2007 which makes it slightly easier. Also West/Suede but it isn't that difficult.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Because the Courtney Barnett/Frank Turner nightmare might be resolved by one or other's alternative slots, George The Poet.

Definitely Public Service Broadcasting.

Absolutely gutted about that, but Leftfield are simply unmissable.

But I'm going to get tickets for one, maybe two, PSB gigs before the end of the tour instead.

If they play Williams Green as a secret set I will be delighted

Saturday's scheduling pits Kanye against PSB, Leftfield, Jon Hopkins, & Mothership.

I once had an 11. Friday headliner 2013: Arctic Monkeys, Portishead, Chic, The Horrors, Crystal Castles, Simian Mobile Disco, Bodhi, Julio Bashmore, Goat, Maceo Plex, Mount Kimbie.

Saw the Arctic Monkeys in a kind of "how can I possibly choose, I just gonna follow my mates" way.

That's 6 way if you count Leftfield twice. Your editing doesn't fool me kalifire!

Whoever loses the toss up between Mavis Staples and Todd Terje.

I have seven on Saturday teatime - Vintage Trouble, Yiddish Twist Orchestra, Maccabees, Father John Misty, Jessie Ware, Texas and Courtney Barnett all start and end within two hours of each other. Edited June 4, 2015 by Zac Quinn

I can't really complain this year. I have ten absolute 'must sees', more than previous years, and apart from trying to get from Vintage Trouble at West Holts to DFA1979 at John Peel in just 5 minutes, none of them clash.

I'm a bit disappointed that both Courtney Barnett's sets clash with my must-sees, but I guess she may pop up with another. Also, Public Service Broadcasting is part of a 4-way clash for me. I'll be at West Holts for The Mothership, but if it's not the party I'm expecting, I'll nip along to The Glade. Something tells me it's going to be packed, though!

I read that wrong! I thought you were expressing an annoyance at missing the 2 bands, and wondered who you meant, and then I realised. I've only heard the single so far, but may side with them instead of the Who. My excitement in seeing the Who is tempered by their cancelling the Paris gig.
