It is one of the factors I use to go through clashes. People who I know love the festival themselves tend to get upped in my priorities because you know they'll give it their all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed with the group rather than just going off on my own. Got tickets to see her next month but watching on iPlayer seems like that performance was special. My whole group opted for Liam, glad I went off on my own for her. Stunning. Edited July 7, 2019 by HeyPorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a choice that needed making though - I saw both of them in full and was able to make it comfortably using the cockmill route to avoid the main markets.

Ah. Then it should be Grace Petrie instead of BCUC. I left Sheryl early to go and see BCUC, who I had seen before but weren’t as impactful the second time around - and in THAT heat.

crocodiles Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Johnny marr instead of Janet Jackson. Thought I haven't seen Janet for 30 odd years make the effort this time she was really poor . Also don't know who clashed with mylie but wish I'd seen them . Just couldn't be bothered moving after kylie and was always planning to see vampire weekend. But overall I enjoyed what I saw this year planned and unplanned Edited July 7, 2019 by crocodiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Boring answer but no one. Super happy with everything I saw. Hot Chip instead of The Killers could have been the answer, but we know what happened there. Definitely wish some acts weren't placed at the same time (mainly Janelle, The Cure and Chris), but I don't regret anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPEC_Coaches Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) The entirety of Stromzy over Tame. Sacked off the latter for the former half way through. I found Tame incredibly dull. My choice was based on having seen them plenty on the Lonerism tour, where they were a live music force back then. Now the whole live show feels overproduced to the point it is hard to locate the human element.

FuzzyDunlop Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 After IDLES, I was on my own. I had no money, no drink & no pick me ups. So I went back to the tent. I wish I'd have taken things with me so I could have watched Michael Kiwanuka.... but I didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Stormzy instead of Jon Hopkins. The Comet is Coming instead of Lauryn Hill. are the two that spring immediately to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really know him but one of our group loves him and had us all singing she's a belter all weekend (still not heard that song) and it seemed so packed. No idea if we could have worked our way through or not (I was pretty pissed) but it was just as the sun started to get a bit melty as well. So would have taken some planning to see him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y0ungtitan Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Don't regret seeing anyone based on the actual quality of the gig. For my big clashes, I saw Tame Impala over Interpol (despite me liking Interpol more, Tame Impala were my favourite act of the weekend), Sharon Van Etten over Kurt Vile (like them both equally but Sharon was great) and The Streets over The Cure (was planning to go to The Cure but none of my group wanted to so I settled for The Streets). I guess I'd swap BMTH for Kylie? BMTH were great, but my whole group went to see Kylie and I ended up spending a fair bit of that Sunday evening on my own so probably would've liked to have hung out with them more.

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 The only one I can think of is probably Bring Me The Horizon over Kylie (far too busy and when you're at the back beyond the tree not only is the sound poor but you feel disengaged from the show itself). Apart from that, I feel like I made the right choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BambooShanks Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 18 hours ago, Sasperella said: Stormzy instead of Jon Hopkins I'm in a similar boat. While Jon Hopkins was one of my highlights of the festival and enjoyed every second of it, Stormzy's set appears to be one for the ages so was a little bit gutted that I missed a slice of history there. I wish I stayed at Kate Tempest and watched Hot Chip instead of leaving early for The Chems but at the time it felt like the right thing to do. Aside from that, I felt I made mostly the right choices. There's a few regrets in the sets I missed due to laziness / wanting to minimise walking in the hottest parts of the day but overall I did ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Andy Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I missed loads of daytime stuff due to overheating; Slowthai, Kylie, even the Astrolabe was too hot for me to stay for Stephen Frost ImproAllstars ... but equally I know it was wise to miss them to avoid ruining myself for the entire festival.

James (BPEC) This is exactly my big mistake, I was enjoying Stomzy but was meant to meet my friend so left after 4 songs. I couldn't get into Tame Impala and wish I had stayed.

Acid Loafers Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Wish I'd gone to Beat Hotel instead of a futile attempt to check out the NYC Queue-loads. But in true Glasto fashion, I saw an amazing AV set by Max Cooper that I would have never been at otherwise. Literally just saw that it said AV set at Gas Tower and thought, might be fun. Turned out to be one of my favourite moments all weekend. Only at Glasto can your planning be ruined and something even better comes out of it.

Northtim Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 No regrets. I suppose I could look back now and think I should maybe have done A rather than B, but I had a great time so why worry. I think Glastonbury is the one place where there is something amazing around every corner so it is very hard to make a wrong decision. If I ever find myself not really enjoying something I can wander off somewhere else, but that never happened this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokel Again Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'd probably make the same decision again, but disappointed to miss SVE. Chose Liam, who I am a fan of (was) too, and he was very good, and enjoyed a sunset singalong - but it's the one clash I had and I'm still not sure it was the right decision. Did see SVE a couple of months ago though, and will do so again and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
