Who popped your Glastonbury cherry?

[northernbro]

The Cribs 2015  

great fun it was too

[philipsteak]

I think Dreadzone. Did they play in 1995? Sure it was them

[5co77ie]

Galaxie 500 main stage 1990

[giantkatestacks]

Long may it stay that way, mate. They are the UFO obsessed techno offshoot of Ozric Tentacles. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll just let the horror of that combination of words sink in

Oi Mardy, let's not have a falling out. Our lot used to love them, and Ozrics too. What more could you want than half a microdot inside you and the prospect of one of those bands hey?

 

If this attempt at quoting doesn't happen then there will be blood.

Well, I was certain it was Seasick Steve, in the Left Field tent, Thursday night, 2007. But according to my diary I had seen Kid Harpoon in there earlier that afternoon. Sorry Kid, but I don't remember that...

[themuel]

The Darkness - Friday morning 2003... I think. 

[eastynh]

First set I seen was Nicky Blackmarket in London Underground last year.

First live performance was The Freestylers in the Glade.

[Mollyanne&Mike]

Think it was Hobo Jones and the Junk Yard Dogs in Avalon as I was heading towards the Greenfields. Make an effort to see them, or sit outside and listen each year they play now.

The first thing I remember was watching the world mixing champion with the world rap free styling champion in the dance tent in 99. Absolutely no idea what they were called.

To be fair, my memory is fucking shit though so could've been someone before that.

[AdamWillingham]

Beady Eye. 

Not proud of this.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I went in '94 but I don't remember anyone that I was taken to by my parents apart from Sharon Shannon in one of the tents? The first act I remember actually making an effort to go and watch of my own free will was Finley Quaye in '98 - the 13 year old me enjoyed him a lot at the time.

[eFestivals]

as far as I can remember it was The Cure in 1986 .... tho it's quite possible it was something else. I know I saw The Cure and Psychedelic Furs that year and a reggae band (either Aswad, or Misty In Roots, I think), but that's about as far as memory of bands goes.

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

My memory is hazy but it was either Ladysmith Black Mambazo or Toploader in 2000.

[CaledonianGonzo]

My memory is hazy but it was either Ladysmith Black Mambazo or Toploader in 2000.

Easy to confuse the two. 

[mickeyboymel]

Two Door Cinema Club opening The Pyramid 2011 - I'm not counting Kesha the evening before as I was one of the hundreds running out of the tent!!!!

[MrHew]

I can't be sure but the first I can remember seeing was Senser on the Pyramid Stage  in 95.

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

Easy to confuse the two. 

One covered 'Aint no sunshine' the other covered 'Dancing in the moonlight'. So yeah, I'll go with that rather than the alcohol excuse.

I must listen to the Ladysmith Black Mambazo's cover of Dancing in the Moonlight sometime.

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

I must listen to the Ladysmith Black Mambazo's cover of Dancing in the Moonlight sometime.

You should, it's way better than Toploader's cover of Aint no sunshine.

 

[Huckleberry Finn]

Beady Eye. Regrettably.

[the beadle]

Roy Harper 1982 and he went on and on and on. Strange because I'd seen him quite a few times and he was never less than great, so it might have been me.

that was a bloody good year, as was '87

[Sawdusty surfer]

Can't remember who was the first, but the first one I actually remember was The Pogues.

[fred quimby]

Black Uhuru in 1982, I think. Saw some of Randy California as well so no idea who was first. 

[KernowKrusty]

1997, Echo & The Bunnymen. I was a bit moist (Weather, not excitement). Fantastic weekend. Came home barefoot as my converse boots got stuck in the mud.
