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.

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.

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.

Was just discussing this as I was trying to remember Zane Lowes name! Not heard from him in ages

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!

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

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.

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.
