I reckon there will be a few people caught with the Lorde/Quo clash.

Really? 

[BreadMakesYouFat?]

Not as bad as I was expecting but still...

Tove Lo vs Katy Perry vs Muncie Girls

The Big Moon vs Sigrid

Haim vs Lucy Rose vs Marika Hackman

Charli XCX vs Black Honey

And after all that, I don't have a Sunday headliner.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I've had worse years for clashes, but this one is a real pig for me:

Avalanches/DJ Shadow/The National (will probably try and see start of Avalanches before The National)

After that I've got:

The Pretenders/Hacienda Classical (not sure yet)

The Orb/Napalm Death (will go Orb but disappointing)

Then I've got a fair few would-like-to-sees, which I'm choosing to see as giving me options rather than being a bad thing. Wild Beasts vs Craig David is an interesting quandary...

Yes because she will be considered a bit of an all rounder for many, Quo aren't exactly your big time rockers are they.

[Badlands]

Having been restricted to cheeky peeks today, a few more have just slipped into my sight:

Lemon Twigs v FAK

Real Estate v Dropkick Murphys

Jain v Sampha

[Larraht]

Haim vs Chic. Feeling a bit heart broken.

[edwardjc14]

King Gizz v Katy Perry v Liam Gallagher (presuming he's the TBA) 

King Gizz v Julia Jacklin 

Lorde v Sleaford Mods

Hoping for a King Gizz Crows Nest slot which seems likely...

Same

[somecoolusername]

I can't tell if a 'perfect clash', ie when two artists play exactly the same time slot on two different stages, is better or worse than sets that overlap. My initial reaction to Solange/Stormzy was 'ffs they are playing the exact same slot', but now I'm thinking it might be better to have to just plump for one, rather than piss about watching a bit here and a bit there, and maybe missing everything. 

Still, ffs

[MrPink]

I was extremely happy yesterday, not a single clash. And now over the past 24hours I've discovered Halsey (how I managed to miss her I've got no idea). Toss up between her and seeing Kate Tempest rip up West Holts. 

[nikkic]

Struggling with the Stormzy and National clash. I know there's only a 15 minute crossover but with with journey times I have to miss a big chunk of one or the other. 

Now The National are one of my favourite bands, so it should be a no brainer, but throw into the mix the seemingly poor slot, the fact I have tickets for one of their London shows and the fact all of my mates will be at Stormzy (who I do really like as well) and we have a genuine dilemma! 

Head says Stormzy and heart says The National because, well, it's The National at Glastonbury! 

Help me out good people!

Yep!!!! I feel your pain

[maclauk]

My only two must see were Jagwar Ma and London Grammar. Plus I wanted to check out Moderat 

[simian_mobile_mushrooms]

Little Dragon vs XX is a bit of a clash, not seen either before and would both be great at that time of night. Also, tho not really a clash. Have to miss a bit of both Katy Perry and Avalanches to see both, but actually I'm quite fortunate with my clashes this year. Bless the random bookers for this

I'm feeling a bit like this but with Radiohead and Dizzee Rascal. I love Radiohead, they've long been a favourite of mine, always buy their albums as soon as they come etc, but I've seen them four times now, plus they're playing for so long, do I want to spend my entire Friday night feeling abstract and melancholic, or do I want to go with my mates to what will definitely be a huge party on the WH? Luckily given the length of Radiohead's set I can watch 45 min and then make my way to DR so that we can all get drunk and bounce around to Bonkers. 

Perhaps make a plan to stand to the right or left of the a Pyramid and give yourself a 45 session of National, then b-line it to other? Shouldn't be that busy in between the stages if both are already started. Then you'd have 45 min of both

Radiohead vs Flaming Lips is a ridiculous clash.  Going to cut the Lips audience down by at least half.. perhaps that's why they decided they could fit the audience in at the park.

More space for balloons and dancing

The National. Stormzy will be everywhere for the next few years at least and will probably be back at Glasto in two years. We've been waiting ages for The National to come back and it's going to be beautiful.

I was really looking forward to Stormzy but I've sacked him off entirely now in favour of seeing full sets from The National and FJM.

I really wanted to catch Cassette Boy vs DJR this year, I know they're there every year but I've not seen them before and who knows about two years time.  But...

Glade to JP in 15 minutes for the start of King Giz - maybe the site is a bit quieter and easier to navigate Sunday lunchtime (aside from bumping into a lot of Sunday-only people), but I'm going to have to miss the start of one or end of the other

Get there early if you do go to CB v DJR.  It'll be very busy.

Toots vs RTJ vs Loyle Carner is a fucking travesty.

This... Really wanted to see all 3 of these. Think I'm going to go for Toots though as they are literally 1 of 3 acts that are must see for the hubby.

I think this is the right thing to do. I'll be alone, but fuck it, it's The National!

As a bonus I'll have time to get to Joe Goddard at The Park as well.

Hmm, reading @The Nal's thoughts on a different thread - I really want to see King Giz, so I probably wouldn't get much out of CB v DJR if I'm looking at my watch.  Hopefully the right choice, but I'll probably get to JP in time for a decent spot - or make a hash of it on the day.

Looking likely I am doing the reverse. Starting at RTJ - hoping they continue with their outrageous start to their sets and then scoot off to Loyle Carner halfway through. Then after Carner, catch a bit of Katy Perry on the way back.

Thursday night / Friday morning

Both John Digweed and Nick Warren are dj'ing at 1.30am

Couldn't make it up.
