cowmadiddy Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) I'm sure done 1 billion times, but from what I can gather not this year. Stevie Wonder for me was something so special, seeing a legend like him on the 50th anniversary and even hearing Mr Eavis singing, even though I was so far away from the pyramid stage I may as well been in Iceland was such a special Glastonbury moment - but I am weak, I've only got 2 Glastos under my belt. I don't think you can win this, but for you, and in your honest opinion (dishonest opinions will be frowned upon) which was the ultimate hairs on back of your neck glasto - probably pyramid stage headliner? Edited June 10, 2016 by cowmadiddy Today the reason for my edit was to change "luke" to "like" . I also added the bit about dishonest opinions as I thought it added to the original post. I edited again due to not adding "of the neck" to hairs on your back", as I assumed all have hairy back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Klein Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) I've only seen 2 Pyramid headliners. The Rolling Stones and Arcade Fire. Stones was special, Arcade Fire was my favourite gig of my life so far. So that one. Edited June 10, 2016 by Calvin Klein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthwindandfire2205 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 The Stones or Stevie for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICGenie Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'd go with Stevie Wonder too, it was a really special gig. And I know it's considered pretty uncool round these parts but Coldplay last time around were absolutely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 38 year old virgin Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Pyramid headliner or stage headliner? Pyramid was probably the who, Any headliner have to say super furry animals from the parlast year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Lee Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 From what I've seen, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Blur and Arcade Fire were all fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedra Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Radiohead 2003, closely followed by Bowie 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_jim Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Suede in the JP tent last year were amazing. Macca in 2004 or Blur in 2009 are probably up there with my favourite headliners tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tease Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Pyramid wise, probably Neil Young 2009, though I also liked Stevie Wonder, and he capped off a great festival with lovely weather in 2010. Also liked Radiohead and REM. To be honest I've loved most of the headliners I've seen on JazzWorld so it's hard to narrow them down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomViolence Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Arcade Fire from what I've seen in person. Radiohead '03 or Blur '09 from what I've seen on YouTube/TV though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist1981 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Top 3 from meeeee 1) Radiohead 2003 2) Stevie Wonder 2010 3) The XX 2013 Honourable mentions to Metalica, Bjork, Massive Attack, Chic, and every time I've seen Chemical Brothers.

Hugh Jass Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Blur 09. Closely followed by Macca 04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I've only been going since 2010 so not seen that many but I suspect that even if I'd been to every Glastonbury since it started, the answer would still be the Rolling Stones. Absolutely everything about it was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Best headliner: Portishead 2013 (by a country mile) Best Pyramid headliner: R.E.M '99 I still regularly listen to audio of both gigs, 2 of the best nights of my life. Special mention goes to Coldplay in 2011 for providing such a good time that what had started as a damp squib of a festival ended up with really happy memories.

pinkmolly226 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Only been a handful of times but best one I seen was Neil Young very closely followed by the stones. Totally engrossed with the flaming lips a few years ago as well but I was under the influence so maybe that had something to do with it.......

Brave Sir Robin Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Lots of great performances to choose from but for me, the most thrilling, life-affirmingly brilliant was Neil Young in '09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Ever: portishead, other 2013 pyramid: bowie JP: flaming lips Park: SFA West holts: portishead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorton82 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Arctic Monkeys, a) because they are awesome and b, I came up just at the right time! If we are talking all stages, then it has to be Primal Scream on the other stage doing Screamadelica, much for the same reasons and the fact it threw it down and nobody cared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
