Bit confused by all the complaints about 2014's Sunday. Would have thought Massive Attack would be a big pleaser for most on here. I certainly had no complaints. I guess the rest of the stages were a bit shite.

It was good but just a very downbeat end to the festival - I'd rather have had something else despite being a fan and enjoying the show. Portishead is regarded (by people who were there) as one of the best sets in recent history but I guess it woulda been sullied somewhat if that was Sunday night's headliner and everyone was in their Sunday night headspace.

Didn't go in 2014 so just looked at the poster, I'd have struggled more with Saturday I think! MGMT was a weird one.

Yeah that's true, although I doubt I'll be thinking 'well this isn't as good as LCD Soundsystem' when I'm dancing to Justice's funky shredding.

This is also true

Just not really what I want to finish my festival with, and generally wasn't it regarded as being a bit disappointing? Although can't have been as bad as Disclosure so it's definitely the choice I should've made.

Fair points. Tbh if there's any night I'd want something like that as my headliner it'd probably be Sunday. Friday night when I'm still full of energy and it's the first full night of music I want more of a party (cheers, Radiohead).

Not sure if it was regarded as a disappointment, mind. Was it not their previous set that's regarded as being disappointing (2008?)?

Yep Saturday wasn't great either, although I had a great time at Metallica, and Mogwai would have been okay for me, too.

I think Jake Bugg may have been down to headline John Peel until Prince fucked off and Metallica shimmied over to the Pyramid. I think the programme referred to Jake Bugg as John Peel headliner or something.

Same here. LCD Sounsystem/Earth, Wind & Fire were great options to end the festival last year. (Also big up West Brom - you're not a WBA fan at all, are you?)

Personally I'm in the 'Still waiting on the other headliners to be announced, but I'll probably be there' camp.

I wasn't really sold on their last tour, but they seem to have really improved their live act. Their new album is solid and it would be a great way to see out the festival.

Certainly am my leggy friend

My two previous Glastonburys finished with Portishead and Massive Attack and both were exactly what I was looking for to wind down the weekend. Had I been last year I'd have had to pace myself better to peak for Lcd soundsystem. 

[cloudb]

No idea why I thought they were Sunday that year.

theres nothing that could ever possibly top LCD Soundsystem

The thing about the Sunday night is I want something that will either get me all blubbery and emotional, or something that's going to fucking go off. LCD Soundsystem was perfect cos it did both.

Watching some videos of Justice's live show and it looks like it could be the desperate last minute mad one I'm looking for.

This reminds me I haven't even watched any live vids yet (which are apparently much better than their studio output) and they're already one of my most anticipated acts.

Bit worried about the BBK clash actually as my one mate who'll defo be up for Justice will also want to see them badly. Think he may be going Parklife, mind, and hopefully Justice's rarity convinces him.

Just listen to the live albums. 'A Cross The Universe' or 'Access All Arenas'. 

They are the only live albums that push Alive 2007 close for me. 

[the wonderwhy]

A Cross The Universe is great, yeah. 

Shame we wont get that Soulwax/Metallica encore  

[Slugworth]

Just watched some clips from Coachella and they will be the star of the show this year. Cant wait!

 

[WS_Jack_III]

Probably what I'm most looking forward to at the moment.

10 years later i'm finally going to get to see their show.

[mario man]

Now they've been officially announced as WH headliners I've been catching up with their latest album this evening & GODDAMN its good!! Should be an epic way to end the fest!

I was undecided whether to see them or Metronomy on JP but my minds made up now

Underworld were my highlight last year headlining WH and I can see this going the same way 

ps good call OP *doff's cap*

I'll second that. They are something else live.

I really thought this would be the year daft punk play, however justice is the next best thing really

[Bisque]

I'd love to see Justice but whenever they play at a festival I'm at there is always a clash

I'll third that. That moment in music will be forever remembered.

Fourth it

[kalifire]

Huge fan of Cross here but haven't heard the live version until now. Woah. Sunday night just got scheduled. That will be some party. 

[nikkic]

It's gonna be a great way to finish up before the fallow year for sure, on what is now my favourite stage. 

Any decent sets on YouTube worth checking out?

[arcade fireman]

Moderat followed by Justice will be a brilliant way to end the festival. 

[Quark]

Another highly likely one for Justice to finish. Got Access... on VERY loud this morning. Sunday night party

 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Had some friends over last night.. slipped some Justice on... persuaded my wife to renege on the deal we did with one of my mates that if we skipped the other two headliners we'd go and watch E* ******n with them 

[joeshez89]

I saw them at parklife a few years back (2012?). They were amazing live, the crowd went mad

Looking forward to them this year, hoping I still have the energy for it by Sunday night!
