I'm fairly confident that if I'd been at Glasto then I would have gone to see Bowie (even if I'd been my actual age at the time of 15). My Mum is a mega fan so, along with the Stones, he definitely feel like one of the two past headliners I feel the most gutted about not being there for. 

Does anyone remember/know what was up against him? Maybe @sedra or @fatyeti24?

 "Let"s Dance"....Tune!!! 

Basement Jaxx were on the Other.

Christ, just realised 2000 was the same year NIN headlines the Other Stage on the Friday, subbed by Moby....and could have done Leftfield on the Saturday. 

If I could go back to any Glasto in time, I think it would definitely be this one!

EDIT: God, I really hope 15 year old me could have been trusted not to go with The Chems, Travis and Basement Jaxx.... 😕 Not sure my NIN obsession started until a good few months after this.

Can we bring frock coats back?

Yes! With this wide leg trousers he looks sharp as fuck!

Basement Jaxx on Other, Suzanne Vega on Acoustic and Doves in the new tent ( later became John Peel)   And Ozomatli on Jazzworld( West Holts)

there was no SE corner in 2000 so just Greenpeace, Avalon, Dance tent,  T&C fields plus Cinema

Crowds also looked smaller because nobody had trollies for their kids and endless camping chairs. We sat on the ground, and some people had rugs. Whilst G led the way with Kids entertainment, it was a more adult environment back then.

My early years of going Reading Festival everyone either stood up or sat on the floor.

camping chairs didn’t become a thing until around 2002/03 iirc.

Watching the Bowie set now, the sheer MAGNETISM of the lad.

Plus, his band on top top form, and a set list of complete and utter world class bangers that any artist would kill to have.

Is this the best ever headline set? It's gotta be up there if it's not number one.

There was The Ballroom / Casino that year? £3 to rent a frock and get in (big bouncer on the door). Got in around the back in the end and my mate had a dance with a mummy. Can't remember too much else of the embryonic Lost Vagueness that year though - Diner and Rocket Lounge were next to appear I think, then The Church of Love or Lothe...

    • Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more. 
    • I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.
    • It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.
    • Shambles. Transport and comms garbage. Been looking forward to this since last June and have never been to a more disorganised festival in 30+ years.  Why we were told the whole festival was cancelled for the night if they had put back shows for a few hours?  Pissed off to say the very least and put a huge downer on the rest of the weekend.
