Who popped your Glastonbury cherry?

[robalotalob]

1993 so hard to remember but I've got a feeling it was Teenage Fanclub on the other (NME) stage.

[T-Mouse]

Regina Spektor on the Pyramid in 2009. She was rather lovely.

[debted]

Manics in 94,that year there was also Elvis Costello, Peter Gabriel, Van Morrison, Jackson Browne, the legend Johnny Cash, Nick Cave.  Blur and Oasis before they really hit the big time,  I could go on and on, them were the days!!  but I didn't get my cherry popped that happened some time ago

[Iranu]

Two Door Cinema Club 2010 at the Queens Head Stage on the Thursday.

[blackdog]

Hunter & collectors or Incantation in 83

[shoptildrop]

I haven't the foggiest, sorry. 

this is me lol 1st year was 2010 but not sure who the 1st band was as was taking in the sights...

[CatBallou]

I think it was Glasvegas in the John Peel Tent in 2008 but it was my first time at Glastonbury and I can't be sure

[mbheather]

This has probably been asked a hundred times, but what was the very first set you saw at Glastonbury?

Mine was Bjorn Again, opening the Pyramid in 1999! Haha. Epic sing-along!

Ha! I also had Bjorn Again, but was first act on Pyramid in 2009. It was raining, but at that point in time I didn't care, the smallish crowd were all loving it.

Ha! I also had Bjorn Again, but was first act on Pyramid in 2009. It was raining, but at that point in time I didn't care, the smallish crowd were all loving it.

Saw them both times. Top fun, love me a bit of ABBA!

[LeeGalvin]

Yeah, Bjorn Again are great fun - and a favourite of Kurt Cobain's!

[addicted2noise]

Probably Gomez in 1998

[jackarmy]

Maximo Park on the Queen's Head in 2009. 

[5co77ie]

Galaxie 500 main stage 1990

To be honest, I didn't want to go. Some mates had been in '92 and '93 and had tried to get me to come along. In '94 they succeeded, though partly because The Levellers were playing the main stage. Thought I'd had a reprieve when the stage burned down just before the festival. And to think I hesitated....

[Derbyphil]

Mine was Kasabian early on the Friday, other stage 2004 ( I think..a bit hazy)

[hallamboy]

I can't believe I'm going to say this. I arrived on Friday of my first fest in 1995. I think the first band I saw was the Lightning Seeds. It was supposed to be Supergrass, but there was a slight miscalculation. The miscalculation was that we didn't know where the NME Stage was.

Regina Spektor on the Pyramid in 2009. She was rather lovely.

love this set, wasn't there but remember watching in on the telly & many times on YouTube since 

She should come back, she deserves a bit of sunshine too 

 

[Festival Liam]

Rolf Harris in 2010 for me. regardless of what's come out since, i had a whale of a time and have very fond memories of it. sun was blasting, the crowd was ginormous and it instantly pissed all over every festival i'd been to prior

Another one for Rolf here. I think I would still rather see him than Kate Nash or Beady Eye..

[Padgey]

Mine was Metronomy on the Pyramid Stage in 2011

[Thunderstruck]

The feckin' Kaiser Chiefs in 2014. They were genuinely awful! They seem to think shouting a lot out of tune is good...Blondie after that was a lot better even if her voice is a bit shot.

[TheBoz]

Dry the River then Django Django then Alt-J on the Thursday night in William's Green 2013

[cdm22]

I have checked the line up for 2007 which was the first time i went to Glastonbury and i still haven't got a clue who i would have seen first! There is very little early on the friday that appeals even now!

The View on the Pyramid in 2007.

Are you me?

[Superscally]

Coldplay, New Bands Tent, 1999.

Told my mate who introduced me to 'em at UCL that I thought they were alright, but couldn't see em making it.
