This year is my first Glastonbury so I wasn't there but there seems to be a lot of people making excuses for why they saw Sheeran...think we have a lot of Ed fans here who are in denial...

With regards to this year, I'm not a massive fan of any of the headliners to be honest, but wan't to make sure I will see one which at the moment is most likely Macca if he is against Dua Lipa, as it will be a great sing a long

In fairness I thought he was alright. I would not say I am a fan at all, but I like one or two songs and I love the Everything Has Changed duet with Taylor. That said, my feet really, really, hurt, proximity to the Cider Bus was pretty much the only thing getting me through the end of that Sunday.

Hahaha I want to see them, but didn’t get a ticket, as after going to the Victoria warehouse for Supergrass I’m never going to another show there. 

That bad there? It's a shame coz they get some pretty decent acts there

Yeah - I agree. The folk who take pride in never seeing anything on it are self-owning to a significant degree.

Different strokes and all but I can't see why anyone would willingly cut themselves off from such an experience.

Not enough, is it? It was a tap in and he skellied the ball.

He played all the songs I'd heard of in the first 15 minutes, then I got very, very bored. As did a lot of people around me it seemed.

It was definitely an underwhelming closing set, just not great steaming pile of sh*t I was expecting.

No denial or excuses here, if I liked him I wouldn't have a problem admitting it. I've admitted to far worse down the years.

Did the treble 2014 , was exhausted for Kasabian 

That may have been the lack of oxygen in the air with all the flares!

2015 - Florence and the Machine and Kanye West

You have my condolences. Have you managed to put that year behind you?

Haha maybe, I remember being so tired standing in the crowd for them, after black keys they put on a countdown timer on the screen which felt like it went on for 3 hours when it was probably only 45 mins / 1 hours.

Got beans back and stayed out for a good night in the naughty corner.

It's taken time..but I'm nearly there. Spent Sunday evening in the Park and watched one of my favourite bands at The Rabbit Hole on the Sunday that year so I finished on a high!

I thought Florence was pretty good, I was a pyramid whore that day

Mary J blige - motorhead - libertines and then Florence 

[Andy0808 v5]

Only done the treble 2013 and 2014. Managed to take in a headliner at all of the main stages other than the JP. I’m hoping the Sunday night will change that this year.

 

I don’t doubt that Adele was good, or as a mate put it; ‘life changing.’ But I would just much rather spend my time singing along to something I actively listen to, unless there really is nothing else.

I can't exactly put my finger on why but over the years I've lost a lot of enthusiasm for it, to the point where I might swerve someone I'd otherwise see cause they are on there

2014 the only year I’ve done all three.

I could potentially do all three this year depending on the alternative, Macca is the only must-see for me. I’ve seen Kendrick twice before and can take or leave Swift

I absolutely hate the blockquote widget.

Agree with all those talking about the magic of a top Pyramid headlining set. Having not seen any in 16 and only The Who (which was disappointing) in 15, I’d  almost forgot how good it was. Made a last minute decision to go to The Cure and it was transcendent. So I may be on for all 3 this year.

 

The other thing I love about it is the crackle in the air before a big one. The PowerPoint slide on the screen keeps flashing up ‘On Next’ with the acts name, the crowd expands and with the chatter and the buzz and the anticipation the Atmosphere is amazing. I first noticed it before Radiohead in 2003 then again for Blur, Stevie and the Stones. You could bottle it and sell it.

All those people prising the pyramid have clearly never encountered the blockquote widget, and it shows

He would be so shit on there. Would probably have a Chris Martin cameo and everything.  

[Gingerfish79]

I've never done three nights at the Pyramid in 6 visit and I wont be making it to three this year (Macca only for me)! Closest I've done is two nights in 2013, 2017 and 2019.

 

The Pyramid is the best stage in the world, but there is also something incredible about headline sets at the Park and also in JP. 

[Matt42]

I will happily see all three headliners. My only worry is Kendrick has a habit of giving phoned in performances.

As long as he gives it a bit of umpfh all three headline sets this year could be something really special.

[rawrsomesauce]

All this chat has made me realise I've never seen a Park headline set, maybe that'll change this year? In 2015 I didn't have a headliner so after Jamie xx (which remains one of my favourite sets of all time) I ended up in silent disco then saw FFS on the Sunday on JP. In 2016, I saw New Order & LCD on Other, 2017 I plucked for sitting outside the JP for Metronomy then last year I ended up in SE Corner for Gojira & Idles on the Friday then saw Janelle Monae on the Sunday.

Spot on about all, I wasn't at Radiohead but the rest, incredible. I was gutted that U2 rained because at the front, where you couldn't tell, it was magic. I was running before when Pictures of You came on by the Cure and it took me right back. There was a mad swirling atmosphere for the Cure and possibly the best sound I've ever heard from a band there.

Think the only major stage I’ve never seen a headliner on is the Acoustic.
