Taylor Vs PSBs is really tough one. Luckily there's a tonne of other shit to do so I don't have to bother with either of them.

If PSB aren’t playing on the Friday then I will do Bicep if they are on at the park. 

Also seeing Bicep elsewhere; they're at two other fests I'm going to!

[mttJ]

I'd have probably done it in 2004 and 2017 going through previous Clashfinders. Not sure I'd like to miss the Sunday night Pyramid headliner?

I am precisely the type who would have gone to LCD. Sadly Mrs J isn’t.

2017 was a weird end to the festival because I didn’t really have a headliner I was that interested in. It definitely impacted the end of the festival for me.

[golden egg]

2007 - Arctic Monkeys and The Who

2010 - Stevie Wonder

2013 - Arctic Monkeys and The Rolling stones

2014 - none

2015 - Kanye West

2016 - none
2017 - Radiohead

2019 - Stormzy

 

i definitely would’ve seen all three in 2009 though

I had the same at Reading 2018. Was the first time I wasn't looking forward to the Sunday headliner (KoL) and it goes down as my least favourite of all the ones I did. I'm more than happy with Taylor Swift though if there's no alternatives. 

[bellboy]

did all three plus subs in 2009.

Friday - Specials- Blur

Saturday- Kasabian- Springsteen

Sunday - Nick Cave - Blur

Can someone pop me down for March 25th please?  Also, what do we win?

Has anyone ever done all three?

Nope, usually only 1, sometimes 2.  In the case of 2015 - none.

I would if there was three I wanted to see though.   But I do like to see headliners at other stages too, WH and The Park have cracking atmospheres at the right headliner moments.

I was just bumping it .... I think a decent prize might be a case of a certain type of beer ..... but there was also talk of drinks at the efest meet  

[Hotchilidog]

2017 is the only year I've done all three and to be honest I only watched Ed as my feet were killing me and I couldn't be bothered to make my way anywhere else.

[CaledonianGonzo]

*Not* seeing a Pyramid Headliner gave 2017 a weird balance. One of my least favourite years.

im yet to park myself up the hill for a headiner in 13 festivals .... Im still hoping to though .... actually it won't have been in 13 cos it appeared in 2010  I think  .... Id love to find someone I like headlining that stage

Mrs J isn’t quite as passionate about music as I am, she loves Glastonbury and everything about it but tends to let me lead when it comes to actually seeing bands. The flip side is that when she wants to see something it’s a no questions asked kinda deal. It explains some of the questionable choices in my headliner history.

[TheSheriff]

2009 only year I’ve done all three, and it was glorious.... Neil Young, Springsteen and Blur

As I’ve said before, there is no other stage in that festival, or anywhere else on the planet, that can top the Pyramid. Seeing an act you love smash a headline set up there is one of the greatest experiences live music can offer.

[ModBoy]

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

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

There was something so so so satisfying about seeing Adele up on that stage. You can tell she was loving every second of it.

It's one of those many Glastonbury related experiences that is impossible to describe to anybody who has never been.

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.

2008 - KoL, Jay-Z, Verve

2010 - Gorillaz, Muse, Stevie Wonder

(2014 - Arcade Fire, Metallica and last half hour of Kasabian)

Did the treble 2014 , was exhausted for Kasabian 

[Hotchilidog]

2015 is the only year I did no Pyramid headliners Alabama 3 @ The Glade; George Clinton @ West Holts; Chems @ The Other. This was a pretty good year, although I do agree with the sentiment that a cracking Pyramid headline show cannot be beat.
