Missed this 🙌🏻

[parsonjack]

We were at QOTSA so never seen this Beyonce set....it's actually quite terrific 👍

[Woffy]

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

Ooh Tricky is on this. I bet it'll be good!

[Matt42]

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.

[a6l6e6x]

I was very narrow minded with music around 2011. If it wasn't metal I wasn't interested so didn't even try for glasto. Remember watching sets for this year on tv and it opened my eyes

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.

[lemons]

Anyone know what happened with Tricky?

[Beet]

I’ve been using my lockdown spare time to learn the Single Ladies dance so I just got up and joined in.   Nailed it* 

 

* there are no witnesses to contradict me 

[CaledonianGonzo]

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.

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!

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.

[The Red Telephone]

Beyoncé is fucking incredible

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

He talks about it a bit here. 

[Woffy]

Beyoncé’s performance pretty much made Zane Lowe disappear completely. 

[zeppelin]

We've moved on to REM... 

[kemosabe]

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.

Beyonces dancing reminds me of how I think I'm dancing after 17 pints

[Respectfatfrog]

Left Beyonce after a few songs to go see the streets don't regret it as the streets were amazing but would of been good to see it all
