BBC Glastonbury

I thougt there were far more flags in all the years up to about 2016 then it subsided a bit after the eavii asking people not to bring them. Nasty things

I'll never forget the moment Bruce walked onstage in the John Peel tent to join Gaslight. Really was quite a special day. 

I would have loved to have been there for that. Have a huge soft spot for gaslight

I preferred their 2011 set,

I had a shift for that one.

Easily one of my best gigs ever. The wristbands made The Pyramid look better than it's ever been. And when they bought out Barry Gibb I was just gobsmacked and floored (I've owned the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack forever (nearly forty years by that point). It's still a dance/disco classic).

I saw Earth, Wind and Fire I believe. Which was amazing, but id very very happily of seen Coldplay. At least I know they’ll be back, I’ll just have to make sure I’m also there!

That. Fucking. Voice!

Adele was one of the rowdiest crowds I’ve ever been in.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Maybe the best start to any gig on the Pyramid.

[CaledonianGonzo]

That lone firework going up at the first chorus.

I remember the intro with some movie theme tune then breaking into Hurts Like Heaven Was brilliant.

Although them ending on Up&Up with the ‘support’ in 2015 was epic.

[MrZigster]

Working during Adele as well.

Adele sounds fab but don't regret seeing seeing New Order at all.

Ten years of being gaslit by c**ts on here claiming that Springsteen tanked.

They ain’t showing Outlaw Pete for a reason. It was still mint mind, but can understand the jibes.

if you’ve not seen The River check it out on YouTube , he’s literally smoking

What night was she on, I can’t remember?! I certainly drank wayyy more (and earlier) that weekend to cope with the mud and rain. I suspect I wasn’t alone, and that contributed massively!

[Fanbloodytastic]

Adele is still my favourite set of all. 2016 was my first Glastonbury and I scoffed when she was announced as a headliner. What an idiot! The atmosphere was electric and I sang along to every word. It was a moment.

The Saturday. I was absolutely off my face for her set.

[dingbat2]

I do wonder if 'dele will turn up at the farm tomorrow to say shes headlining next year, it wouldn't surprise me at all...

Saturday against new order

I picked New Order in retrospect perhaps not my finest decision. Don't get me wrong on record I like them more but they didn't put on as good a show.

Ahhhhh I spent ages then trying to think who I had seen, but I was at New Order! I don’t remember much about that set though, I certainly made the wrong decision.

It would surprise me greatly. She hasn’t released anything since this set.

Strikes me as someone who does it once, nails it, then doesn’t need to come back.

Nah she ain’t gonna do it again. I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t do another festival again, or at least not for a long time. Felt very one off and special her doing Glastonbury.

Never been a big fan of coldplay but went along that night and was so glad I did it was a phenomenal experience
