Motorhead if they smash it, if they don't then Wilko wins.

This is the clash I feared. When I saw it my reaction was one of weary inevitability. Ever since the announcement, sad little man that I am, I have been rehearsing my departure from Motorhead, and what route to take to the Acoustic. I am tempted to leave Motorhead early, but they are going to finish on Ace of Spades, aren't they? I've been fantasizing about the shifting sands of Glastonbury allowing that to be heard on the Pyramid for the last ten years.

But is it worth sacrificing a good spot for Wilko, or indeed hearing the euphoric sound of the crowd at his Christ like appearance at the beginning of the set?

Just a 5 min gap, Eavis, that's all I ask. Its all so very difficult.

Was really excited for Spiritualized so that Kanye clash is devastating. Same for La Roux, and I was really getting into the new Florence album but no chance of her winning over Run the Jewels.

I was going to miss Peace for Motorhead but to be honest after watching some of their live videos they look a bit rubbish so I'll probably be at Peace. No point missing a band I do really like for what is essentially a novelty act.

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.

you'll see 40 minutes though. then a massive sprint..

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.

Snap. The new album isn't the best but I know he'll play a couple of tunes that would go down perfectly with my Glastonbury state of mind come Friday evening.

Then the mega Saturday mega clash. Still on the fence on who'll be sacrificed there.

Goat, FKA Twigs or Death Cab. Horrible horrible horrible clash for me

DCFC vs FKA twigs is the one clash that I just can't make my mind up about. Both are gonna be fantastic in very different ways, but FKA may just swing IT due to the vicinity of WH to Other where I'll be heading inmediately after. But man... Death Cab :(

Hadn't thought it through to that depth. Now you've made it even worse! Hopefully I'll get bored before Ace of Spades :)

Mavis Staples, The Phantom Band, Young Fathers, East India Youth, could have been so much worse, I praise the mighty Eavii for getting clashes to a minimum.

Yeah it's definitely one I'll have to decide depending on my mood/where I'm heading to after. FKA Twigs is currently winning for me also though as I'm seeing Death Cab next week and Goat finish quite late. Knowing my luck something crazy will happen and I'll miss all 3 :P

    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.

    • Solid list...  but i must ask?  are you excluding Lime Garden & Tomora as you didn't like them or is it that you havent listened to them? 
    • It was Brooklyn last year, and I seem to remember a Guinness tent
