Beyoncé’s headline set is one of the most legendary headline sets in the festivals history. It’s probably one of the sets id say most of my generation associates the festival with. It was a big part of some of my group wanting to go for the first time.

My sister got tickets for 2013 and then was pissed that it wasn’t Beyoncé again so gave them up. Think a lot of people who weren’t very clued up thought that a big pop act was a yearly guarantee after she headlined.

Yeah very true, then from 2015 onwards we did get a lot of big pop acts playing.

I think it was such a perfect booking. It had her play before she became almost too big for the festival. Whether we like or not every female headliner is compared to Beyoncé‘s set. She has that power.

Zane Low and Boss Hogg off of QOTSA tried to invalidate this show, but nearly a decade later it's not Beyonce that looks weak.

Was just discussing this as I was trying to remember Zane Lowes name! Not heard from him in ages

See for me it was 2013. I went in 2014 with 2 other people and then our group ended up becoming about 10 as we found out more people we knew in our town were going that we then joined together, a bunch more were going to go who expected a big mega rock act like The Rolling Stones and those people who haven't been still say 'I'll try for a ticket when someone like that plays'.

It’s absolutely mad how quickly things change. No one would even question this now. Just goes to show how much the bands bands bands lads ruled the show for so long!

2011 is the year I genuinely forgot to get tickets on T-Day. Absolute shocker. 

My excuse was planning to get married in the fallow year, then Eavis went and moved the thing, leaving me on honeymoon during* the festival.

* Technically, we came home on the Monday, so I could have gone. Let's just say, I wanted to stay married.

Neither, since he left Radio 1 I can't actually think of when I've actually heard anything from him... Beyonce however is still as brilliant as ever

Does anyone know if the BBC plan to show their “greatest headliners” show again? It was in the format of a A-Z of Glastonbury and they made last year? 
 

I would love to watch it again, but can’t find it on the internet anywhere and Iplayer isn’t showing it...

EDIT -  Emily Eavis: Field of Dreams was another one I’d like to watch again.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
