Riggins Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Who took you by surprise? Either a new find or someone you saw for the first time. Mine would have to be Sports Team. Went along thinking they were alright based on their tunes but they properly blew me away live. They had the crowd in the palm of their hand. Definitely now on my radar going forward, stage prescence in buckets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyPorter Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Watching it again right now Lukas Nelson and The Promise of the Real, glad I skipped out of Sheryl early for these as I loved them and am definitely a fan now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigpusher Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Cut Capers. Thought they'd be quite fun but they were absolutely amazing. Had an ace time and so want them to tour so I can see them again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I was surprised at quite how much I enjoyed The Cure, which was a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Stormzy. He was basically a ‘meh, alright then’ choice but gave me the second best set of the entire weekend (after Janelle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabboe Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Squid. Went along knowing nothing of them but they were great. Jade Bird was also brilliant but was hoping/expecting that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOCF Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Mac Demarco, knew a few of his tracks, but wow he is an incredibly entertaining performer. Same with Miley, she has an incredible voice, and brought out her dad and Lil Nas X which was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y0ungtitan Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thought Miley would be good but not as good as she was. If I hadn't seen him at All Points East and already had that surprise moment, Mac Demarco definitely would've been the biggest surprise of the festival considering I find him a bit boring. As far as fairly new discoveries go, Swimming Girls were fantastic in the Rabbit Hole on Thursday afternoon. Really wanted to catch their John Peel set before being thwarted by the Vampire Weekend secret set. Defo gonna catch them again when they're in the area.

BrotherEsau Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Tootard - Pussy Parlure, Thursday night. Had heard a few tracks and liked them. Got down the front and was blown away. One of the best of the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was definitely up there for performance of the weekend, one of the rare acts where I need to know very few songs or words and the show just does it. Tool me about 10/15 minutes decide that her over The Cure was the correct decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Glastonbury headliners did it again - where people see different acts and not only say "I enjoyed the act I saw, I have no regrets", but actually say " I made the right choice. I saw the best headliner, no doubt about it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fond memories of this set will remain with me forever, alongside the shame of having spent the whole festival telling all and sundry that everyone I'd ever known who'd seen the cure had reported them as being the most dull live band in history.

I was surprised at just how dreary I found The Cure. Guess I maybe should have hung about. I'd been looking forward to it and got myself inside the barrier early enough that I could have been right at the front. "At last somethings gone to plan", I was thinking. Four or five numbers in and I just felt overwhelmingly that I had to get out or I'd regret it. (Picture of You was good though). Wandered through CatQ and Janelle. Really wished I'd picked one of them, especially Janelle. Instantly pricked my ears and my eyes up (had never heard of her until I walked into West Holts that night). Mosh pits in West Holts for Slowthai. That was a happening gig. Knew he was a trouble maker when he started getting really bossy with the crowd at the start. Beans on Toast on Thursday in the Greenpeace field was a perfect Glastonbury starter (with props to Mik Artistik on the Wednesday natch). Surpised at how emotional I got at that.

I can’t remember where I was off to but I was passing Avalon just as they started and stayed for the whole set. Absolutely amazing and easily made my top 5 of the weekend. A perfect festival set. Fantastic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, if you weren't feeling it, then that's just how it went. An encore with some other songs that you knew slightly better wouldn't have helped - unless you really didn't know most the songs they'd played before you gave up?

HalfAnIdiot Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 The Cure were fantastic which was nice but not a surprise. I wasn't meant to be at Miley but too knackered to get to my intended destination. Wow. I didn't expect that. The performance, he show, the energy was something else. Rock and roll may be an old fashioned term but she nailed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of it was magisterial, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
