Biggest Surprises

[ICGenie]

Who did you happen to see that you perhaps did plan that blew your sock off?

For me it was Years And Years.  Didn’t know anything about them, recognised a couple of tunes towards the end.  But I thought they were fantastic.  Great pop performance, polished but still human and Olly’s speech was so heartfelt.  I was transfixed.  Not sure I’d listen to their music at home but I’d definitely consider buying a ticket to see them live.

[The Other Steve]

Albert Hammond...it was a last minute decision and he was great!

[Hutchmaster]

Haelos were absolutely superb on William's Green on the Friday. Went in knowing nothing about them but they blew me away.

Hey Colossus at Williams Green. Only went because we were told it was our neighbour’s postman on guitar. They were fantastic.

[Avalon_Fields]

Just passing by The Glade, saw Grouch In Dub, highly impressive, never heard of them before.

Anyone able to provide more info on them? Thanks

[TheGoodWillOut]

Tom Walker in the Rabbit Hole Thursday night, wasn’t much of a fan but what a gig

[CaledonianGonzo]

Taylor Swift om the dog and bone near the Cider Bus khazis.

Very probably.

[Quark]

The Streets. Never listened to them apart from Dry Your Eyes and Fit, but went along as my mates fancied it and I had nothing better to do. 

Blew me away in the end. Great set.

Wasn't sure about Denzel Curry on record but was blown away by him live, so much energy.

Went to see Fullee Love Collective on Thursday just off the back of it being Soup off of J5 without any idea what it'd be like. It was one hell of a party.

I'd been planning on seeing Ocean Wisdom but wasn't feeling it so hopped across to Babymetal on whim and that was much better than expected. Watching folk trying to copy the dancing was hilarious.

I just reflected on the Years & Years speech in the Emotional thread - completely agree

Miley Cyrus easily, was very impressed by what she did at Glastonbury.

[matichin]

Snapped Ankles in the Crow's Nest. Heard good things but wasn't expecting such a crazy experience. 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

For some reason what sticks out to me was Loyle Carner. I really enjoyed it. Also I’m not a fan in the slightest but I actually enjoyed Bastille!

[Ducky89]

Loyle Carner was fantastic, on the tail end of a 4/5 day comedown he had me with a few tears with the engagement of his pals on stage! 

Sports Team on Friday were amazing, I was in a real spot of bother (there is a bit of theme here) and the combination of having a man crush on the lead singer and the Bloody Mary got me back to where I needed to be..!

[TKOCF]

Toss up between Mac Demarco and Miley Cyrus.

[Andeeroo]

Little Simz. Wasn’t really considering this but decided to go on a whim. Great songs, great crowd. Just great.

[Hugh Jass]

The Killers.

I knew they had the potential for a decent set, but I wasn’t expecting THAT.

[tjfish]

Penis Puppet Show ... 

[nikkic]

Slowthai was a whole lot of fun. 

[phillyfaddle]

Young Offenders at Strummerville late on Thursday night. Rocked it out proper.

The beatboxers on the Gateway on sunday afternoon.  As loose and inspiring a buzz as I've felt anywhere this weekend. Totally freestyle - sick as the kids would say.

I saw them, they were called BURD, stopped me in my tracks on the way to the Acoustic Stage - absolutely incredible, I stayed for their 30 min slot

Thanks mate!!! It was fuckin marvliss.

I couldn’t believe it when Foals walked out on the park stage 

[AiiShotTheDJ]

Beatbox Collective and a band called Hedgemono (?) in the band stand; the latter stopped us in our tracks and we sat and watched the rest. Billy Ray Cyrus/ Lil Naz X- Old Town Road was the biggest surprise (literally) of the whole weekend for me though; along with Sir David Attenborough.
