So glad it looks like they’re back next year

Fantastic, I didn't get tickets in 2017 so missed out on seeing them then.

Edit: Although I still don't have tickets for next year yet.

Thanks was so good! Love HAIM. I always go to see them at the festival. That set had me dancing around my living room and shouting "HEY!" with the band and audience during the multi drum finale. Loved it!

Loved watching that. Was one of our must sees. Admittedly with 50 others!  Their drummer has the best hair in the band !

OK. watching the Chems set and I am actually brought to tears.

Not only a great set, but the interaction of the crowd. Hugging, bouncing... even chatting to each other at close proximity.

I remember I had excess glow-sticks so was handing them out to revellers, families and youngsters. So far from the current situation 😥

For me the chems set in 2011 was their best. Kinda gutted it’s omitted from this weekends highlight reel.

Also no Portishead is a disappointing unless I’ve missed them off the schedules

Nice surprise seeing Janelle Monae's 2011 set on now, thought it would be last year's

Both great sets. I think I only knew tightrope at the time, but we went along to this after Pulp's secret set on the Park. Amazing evening, classic Glasto 🥰

I was just gonna say this, when I saw them they did like 5 cover songs. Infact their last big gig at Fenway Park they did 6.

Beyonce did like 3? Prince/KOL/At Last (which she sang in a film so I wouldn't personally count this) 

The Prince one was great cos I don't reckon alot would know it.. Think he won an award for that song.. Did you go to fenway.. If so fair play...on the PJ covers they are on stage for 2plus hours.. Not sure how long Beyonce was on tbf.. And no I don't like her music but she does do a high octane show.. 

And one ton baby I won't give it a rest.. Chill out old son.. Day 2 of glastonbury.. I hope your on the cider.. Ti's fucking glastonbury.. Chiillllll out

I'm just watching Elbows 2011 Pyramid set. I have always loved them from very early on ,met Guy Garvey in the toilets at the Apple store in Regents st when they had just released SSK 😁. I was at this somewhere by the sound stage,  texting my brother who was listening by our tent in Kidney Mead, to come down, he was not a fan then, got converted by One day like this at the end and by then it was too late 🤣. But really shouldn't this band now be headlining, and before we get the naysayers, they have a tremendous back catalogue now with one if the best front men I'm the business and would put on a great show as a Sunday Pyramid headliner. It's a mystery to me why the haven't.

If I had a time machine I’d be off to NME Stage to see that, plus Blur... Radiohead... Pulp... Spiritualised...on that same stage, on the same day!

My first was '95. I feel very similar. Isn't hindsight wonderful etc....

Makes you wonder what future musical behemoths we've possibly wandered past and ignored during the last couple of festivals.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
