Worst line up in the last 10 years?

[Gnomicide]

There was full on bouncing at The Hold Steady gig in London a few weeks back, I was knackered.

My favourite recent one on video is AC/DC at Riverplate.

it was something that was big in the 80's I'd argue and then continued into the 90's. I remember 'tame' gigs like U2 at Wembley Stadium in '87 and Simple Minds '86 Milton Keynes that were bouncers, 

I was at one of U2’s Wembley gigs in ‘87 and when the band came on there was a huge surge in the crowd. I remember thinking if anyone went down they’d be completely fucked, quite scary. My feet were off the ground and when I managed to get them back down I was nowhere near where I’d be standing before. Took me ages to find my gf, who I’d be standing next to. 

Won’t be like that for George Ezra.

This is another good one skip to 2:16

The crowd is bouncing

 

It's a shame The Roses never played Glastonbury when they got back together, money speaks I guess though.

No doubt that the crowd at Glastonbury can bounce in this day and age as well, just need to give em something to bounce to (check at 2:02):

The regulars won't approve but that was as lively as I've seen that usually static field in ten years of going. 

Ok, so I've only been going since 2008 but still, was a great atmosphere and a lot of fun.

Argentinian fans are the Scottish of South America. Always bang up for it

I had to endure Kasabian as i was up pretty close in the pit for their 'special guest' spot pre-Springsteen 2009 and that was a lot of up and down for that. I remember I was next to someone my age who was also there to claim good 'Springsteen real estate' and also wasn't as familiar with their songs and we were commenting on some of the song titles that singer-with-the-weird-haircut-and-odd-jacket was introducing...  "Fire...uh-oh...that sounds like it's going to be a jumping one!"

I say "endure" but looking back at it later, especially on tv, it was actually better than I was admitting at the time. Empire and Underdog (opener) were stellar that night.

it was more than that. A proper Glasto moment that one was.

Happy days indeed ?

Agreed, say what you want about their music but they know how to get a crowd going. And this was on the Sunday after a tough festival weatherwise

[chatty]

People on here like to slag Kasabian but they have way more banging songs than anyone on the first poster.

Agreed. I don't like them on record, apart from Club Foot, but they're a great live act and get the crowd going and have a bit of arrogance about them. I'd rather watch them headline than The Killers or Stormzy. 

[Quark]

Do nothing for me on record. Seen em twice and had a blast twice.

[yosoyyoberdi]

Would happily choose kasabian over any of the current headliners.

They’re on the same level as the Killers if you ask me.

[clarkete]

Seen em, enjoyed them, content to never see them again.

Fucking he’ll, we’ve entered the ‘actually, even Kasabian would have been better than what we’ve got’ phase now. Kings of Leon reappraisal next.

[Keithy]

Could be worse. Look at Woodstock 50

If it were the first two albums only I'd be down, but none of that Sex on Fire shite.

Not watched it.

But... the Sunday's a bit weak, love Hollis Brown though, but the Friday is excellent and plenty on Saturday too.

Is it lacking deliverers of bangers and bops?

You see that line up does little for me tbh.

Would take Cherry Glazeer, Pussy Riot, Courtney Barnett....can leave the rest. The Saturday is especially weak for me.

I wonder who's performance off that line up will still be spoken about 50 years later.
