Song of the Festival 2015

[A Guy Called Matt]

So hard to pick just one but this must be close.

 

[Titters2]

In my Sunday evening emotional state.... Two Weeks by FKA Twigs was very special.

Over & Over and Flutes by Hot Chip were moments too, as was Go by the Chems.

Emotional Stuff..

[SimplyFred]

I'll pick a few to be greedy.

Lionel - Dancing on the Ceiling

Burning Hell - Amateur Rappers

B&S - The Boy with the Arab Strap

Ibeyi - River (Twice no less!)

Hot Chip - Dancing in the dark

Keston Cobblers Club - Wildfire (Never even heard it before)

Future Islands - Seasons

Really gutted to have missed Transatlantic ism but at 8:30 pm I remembered they were on and by 8:45 I'd forgotten. Too much cider.

[buddiepaul]

for the sheer exuberance and spirit that sums up Glastonbury with all the fans on stage I will plump for

 

Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap

[wetflame]

Have to put in another vote for Everything Everything - No Reptiles in the William's Green tent, such a massive energy and the crowd singing along was absolutely immense. So emotional with an incredible build, and I didn't even know the song before going in!

 

Dancing on the Ceiling was also amazing stuff, Lionel was bloody loving it, as were we all!

[LittleLil]

Uptown Funk- Mark Ronson with Mary J Blige

Dancing on the Ceiling and All Night Long- Lionel

Get Lucky- Pharrell Williams

Atmosphere for these was amazing with the crowd dancing and singing along

[Mr November]

When Public Service Broadcasting played The Other Side I was coming up, so that's always going to be memorable. Just had it on while sat on a train and it brought me to tears. Perfect set, so glad we chose that over Jon Hopkins.

[CiaranMc]

If I was gonna pick a Frank Turner one it'd be Photosynthesis I think. But for me Hot Chip's Over and Over or Jamie T's Sticks n Stones.

[paulmuchmore]

Have to agree with Dancing on the Ceiling. Along with All Night Long, it's definitely the moment that got the most people united in song and dance over the weekend - especially with that flashmob dance that a lot of people had learnt (including the security in front of the stage!)

[Amy Lawn]

Either No More Drama or Boy With The Arab Strap, both classic moments.

[CHRLY]

I'd say either Land or The Man Don't Give a Fuck.

[justperfect]

Got to be either pharell doing happy(closely followed by get lucky) or lionel playing easy. Two real glasto memories for me there.

I was amazed by how many tunes burt b has written. A true legend of the music business

[Bisque]

Modestep - Sunlight

[windy_miller]

SFA - Run Christian Run

Spiritualized - Shine A Light

Idlewild - American English

[The Placid Casual]

The Man Don't Give a Fuck

[clemmoontour]

Chet Faker - Talk is cheap (gotta give some aussie love to the man)

 

Florence's - Times like these. It was the first time I really got the feels at the festival, I was trying to avoid crowds by walking along the path at the top of the hill. She nailed it and as a Foo's really got me going.

 

Ibeyei - Mamma says. 

 

Father John Misty - Chateau #4 (in C for two virgins). I was broken, sitting underneath the flags above the tipi village and this saved me

 

New York Bass Orchestra - 9 to 5. Again I was broken walking back from T&C area my phone just died, I had seen them at 6 that morning in Shangri La (I think) and they were playing on the outside circus stage, there were beach balls, costumes and rum... It saved my day.

 

Future Islands - Seasons. I was front and centre, hugging/ dancing with everyone around me

 

Greedy Bastard aren't I

[Digi]

Frank Turner - Four Simple Words or absolutely anything from I Am Kloot's set.  Utterly beautiful and made for a perfect Saturday night

[Alcatraz]

Over and Over or Inspector Norse. Just for the drag queens alone

[Mr November]

PSB - Go! Felt like the Glade was going to lift off

The energy in there was spectacular!

[Mash011]

For me it's got to be Run the Jewels' 'Lie Cheat Steal', colossal tune that I've been listening to a hell of a lot all year and I was so excited to scream right back at them.

[Vanderlyle]

Lots of calls for Future Islands (definitely gig of the festival for me) or Hot Chip.

 

My favourite moments were the closers of both sets - Vireo's Eye for Future Islands and Dancing in the Dark for Hot Chip.

whole of the moon-waterboys

[foolsgold1981]

Lionel Richie - Easy.

The fact that it was a Sunday and there were 100,000+ packed in singing along, at the greatest place on earth ... Perfection.

A huge biker guy with tattoos burst into tears next to me when the chorus kicked in. I quickly followed.

Incredible moment.

For me being a huge Libertines fan, it was Don't Look Back into the Sun. I was so enraptured that I actually forgot they hadn't played it (and a bit tipsy and....other). When the guitars fully kicked in I completely broke down with sheer joy.
