Must See?

[fatyeti24]

Sasha and Diggers, Cinematic Orchestra, DJ Shadder & the 'lanches stand out for me.

And Shaggy, of course. 

[Fladog]

Boyz noise, justice, royal blood, biffy, dizzy rascal, shaggy, sasha & digweed awesome line up so far

[Wooderson]

If I was lucky enough to get a ticket in the resale, Anderson Paak, Katy P, Solange, Marling, Warpaint, Lanegan, Cinematic Orchestra would be a few options. Less of the "must sees" on there for some reason for me. Good few "returning" acts on there.

[kyle3000]

Radiohead,  The XX, Barry Gibb, Metronomy, Little Dragon, Moderat, Moonlandingz, Joe Godard and maybe Shaggy...

[jyoung]

Radiohead, Lorde, The xx, The National and Katy Perry are my top five for the weekend but there is so much on the undercard that I am buzzing for!

[Matt42]

Radiohead, Foo Fighters, The XX, Katy Perry, Royal Blood, Stormzy, Lorde, Phoenix, Haim, Father John Misty, Warpaint, London Grammar, Sasha & Digweed

Where's shaggy likely to be? Looks like he'll get a big crowd.

Either daytime Pyramid or third on West Holts would be my guess.

[DownboundTrain52]

So who have I seen/will have seen on there by the time Glasto rolls around?

Foo Fighters, Ed Sheeran, Biffy Clyro, Royal Blood, Laura Marling, Haim, Warpaint, Metronomy, Annie Mac, London Grammar, Kaiser Chiefs, Circa Waves, Future Islands, British Sea Power, Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes. Think that's all.

So, fifteen bands who - in theory - I'd be happy to skip in order to maximise seeing new artists.

Plenty of choice to be made...

[Half Man Half Mattress]

Radiohead, Future Islands, Chic, Phoenix, British Sea Power, Haim, The Avalanches, Toots and the Maytals, The National, The Jacksons, First Aid Kit, The Flaming Lips, DJ Shadow, The Cinematic Orchestra.

[Robofish]

So much to choose from, but must-sees are Radiohead, XX, National, FJM, Jacksons, Ride, Sleaford Mods, Chic, Mr Gibb.

Plus lots of others I'd be very very happy with.

Does this not reduce the experience to musical train spotting? There's no way I'd miss, say, Radiohead again - even though I'm seeing them shortly after, to watch an act I like less but hadn't previously seen. It's not a criticism, everyone's different!

[waterfalls212434]

definitely frank carter and the rattlesnakes, itll definitely be the most `energetic` set of the week

[OBface]

Solange

Anderson .Paak

DJ Shadow (Organ Donor at Glastonbury...not sure it gets much better than that)

Thundercat

So many more on the long list. The National are in my musical blind spot but judging by my trusted peers on here I'd should get listening.

The National, Stormzy and Solange. 

 

No compromises on The National. Stormzy/Solange clash would be hellish.

[OffshoreToon]

If he turns up then Wiley. Out of the grime heavyweights he's the only one in this second popularity wave who has made a great grime album, as well as having a ridiculous catalogue to work with as well. He seems humble these days, so I'm hoping he makes up for his previous comments about the festival and goes all out at Glastonbury.

It'll be good to see Thundercat do his own thing. Having come out during FlyLo's set, though, the bar has already been set incredibly high.

Little Dragon are always great, Justice's new set up unsurprisingly looks amazing, Royal Blood (assuming their new album will be good), and of course Dynamo.

Oh, some of those I'd definitely want to see again - Biffy are incredible live, as are Frank Carter. But there's so many acts I love on there who I haven't seen - Radiohead, Chic - and so many I quite like - The XX, The National, Katy Perry, Barry Gibb, Little Dragon, Toots - that I always find it perhaps better to highlight them so I have a chance to see them live at least once. In a sense, its trainspotting - but the only artist on there I'll have seen before who I would HAVE to see again as such would be Biffy - who I've already seen on this touring cycle.

If that makes any sense? Is that weird?

 

[Untz]

The more I think about, the more I'm thinking Shaggy is unmissable for some good time nostalgia fun. 

Weather permitting. I'm not listening to In The Summertime in the pissing rain.

[TBD]

Apart from Radiohead I think my main must see would actually be Moderat. There one of the first acts I got into as my music taste expanded and I think they would be really fun to see live. Park headliner (like Jon hopkins 2015) would be ideal!

Not weird at all! I do like seeing new acts and probably have an over-tendency myself to see the acts I like numerous times. Never seen Biffy so hopefully will check them out. You'll be in for a treat with Radiohead IMHO, but then I am biased!

[amfy]

Weirdly, my must sees so far are Shaggy and Stormzy - this was not what I expected to be saying.

[gmb1992]

Radiohead,XX,Alt-J,Glass Animals,Chic are on my shortlist

There is so much on offer in this 1st poster I think i'm overwhelmed!

[home to you]

My main ones are:

- Radiohead

- The National

- Laura Marling

- Anderson .Paak

- Phoenix

- First Aid Kit

- The XX

- Little Dragon

- FJM

- Angel Olsen

[mario man]

Radiohead

The National

Kate Tempest

Toots

Badbadnotgood 

I do not want to miss any of those, loads of others but I know clashes will be hell

I'm probably biased towards Biffy. Yes, their later output can be quite meat and potatoes - but the conviction and fierce zenith with which they dispatch them sets them above their peers. Them subbing Foo Fighters is a gamble somewhat - they could very easily show up the headliner with their live prowess (having seen both, BC are better live - and I probably like FF more by a shade or so on record).

Looking forward to Thom and the lads though!
