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.

    • I want to chime in here and say that I think Simple Minds must be one of the more underrated bands of the 80s honestly. Empires & Dance and New Gold Dream are phenomenal albums. And two of my favourites of that decade in any genre.
    • Same, same. I am doing this for few years. Always works. There are some exceptions when the area completelly packed (i.e The XX this year), but even in this case it is much easier to walk from the right side. 
    • You don't have to pay for an additional ticket but the front barrier at least is all controlled by security and a lot of people stay in there for the bigger acts so if you don't get there early enough you risk not being in there.   There is an option you can pay to have fast lane access priority which they suggest you arrive 30 minutes before a headline show but the first two sections are still even for them based on capacity. I did read that it's going very corporate and becoming too money money which I agree to an extent. There are points on the two biggest stages where not only accessing these bits is priority but dedicated quicker and direct access points for them too....but at €225 for the weekend I'm not sure I want to be pulled into that. I went with Three Days Grace, Linkin Park and Maiden being my must sees so I did what I had to for the latter 2 to get in to where I needed to. You do that too much though and it'll cost you your overall enjoyment of other bands there.   As an overall experience, it's definitely overrated to what I thought it would be. I will vouch for the food being decent.    The reason I haven't just gone in a bought too is because of the extra shipping fee and then selling it on if I didnt go. By QR code its easy to transfer like, but its a lot of money to commit that it might need selling later and to sell a ticket, £300 in fact. Hopefully they won't be the only festival to get Foos while not confirmed yet and Blink. But the Blink pulling power alone is there to be seen.
