I've updated the Clashfinder with all that has been announced so far. Each "program" has a link to it & a description if you hover over it. https://clashfinder.com/s/g2020

Lovely bloke as well. My sister worked for Virgin in Australia and Bowie regularly flew into Sydney especially in the 2000s (I think he lived there for a bit) He always used to ask for my si

That's why you always ask nicely! :p I wrote this up more for people who aren't as much a Glastonbury buff as many are on here, but here's my recommendations from the Beeb anyway:   *Th

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?

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.

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...

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By homesick · Posted

      Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.

      Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
