Favourite sets for me include The Radiophonic Workshop, Beta Band, Portishead and Beastie Boys.

My favourite headline sets on the Pyramid were Blur, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Pulp and Steve Wonder.

The Elbow surprise guest slot at The Park last year seemed to cause nary a ripple beyond the folk who went to it.  The Killers one seems to soak up almost all of the limelight, with Liam taking care of the rest.

The only people who liked the Elbow set are the ones that saw it..?

I mean, it was good, really good, but best in 10 years? Nah.

Anti-flag at Leftfied, The Hold Steady on The Other, Killers at John Peel, Elbow at The Park. All better.

Elbow? ELBOW??? You make some decent suggestions (I didn't see those) but then you ruin it all with that! Nope. ?

It was superb. Glastonbury turned me into an Elbow fan and I'll be eternally grateful.

Battles, Park, 2008 just about qualifies and beats everything ever.

That was pretty ace wasn't it. If I remember correctly wasn't it really rammed for the new big things that year, MGMT. Then as they finished the Park started to thin out for the mighty Battles arrival

...Elbow at the Queens Head was also something special that year

+1 for LCD Soundsystem. 

You know it was a good set when, after waiting for Radiohead to triumphantly return to the Pyramid, the LCD set was still better. I also think battling with that dreadful mud all weekend helped the show. People were so up for it and determined to make it a great crowd.

    • Muse new album out soon , European tour announcement for Nov and Dec, no Spanish date and north American tour starts in July and in North America for all of July and August. So primavera and Glastonbury 
    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city!
