What’s the first set you saw on Worthy Farm?

[Ryan1984]

Thought this could be fun. Who did you see play the first set of your first ever Glastonbury?

Mine was The Darkness on the Pyramid Stage, 2003.

[mazola]

Mine would be Kate Nash I think, 2008. That's not including some random acoustic things on the Thursday. 

[Quark]

Golden Silvers on the Park in 2009.

Nope, me neither.

[SwedgeAntilles]

The Charlatans in 2015. Thankfully it was all uphill from there.

(it should've been Wolf Alice on the Thursday night but we couldn't get into Williams Green for it).

[RarerThanDandyB]

Fontaines D.C. - John Peel Stage 2019

[WestCountryGirl]

Beady Eye - Other Stage, 2013.

[Barney McGrew]

First full set I saw was Pulp in 95, was a bit good... saw loads of other bits 'n bobs prior to that but was pretty mashed/confused/excited/scared having gone under the fence earlier that day and entered a mad world that I was totally not prepared for.

[squirrelarmy]

Beardy Man 2011. Can’t remember the name of the bar but it was either Wednesday or Thursday.

2010 - Rolf Harris.....😕

[kaytee...]

The 1975 on William's Green in 2014. Didn't like them back then, was waiting for Metronomy. 

[Hugh Jass]

Kasabian opening the Other in 2004.

[Kalopsia]

The Charlatans on the Other Stage in 2015, it was ok but beaten by Everything Everything 2 sets later. 

[gmb1992]

The Pharcyde on the Thursday in 2013 at Silver Hayes... Exactly why you can't rule out Wednesday and Thursday for music...or Silver Hayes (occasionally) 

[sisco]

Pretty sure it was Boy George in 2010

Pete Yorn on the Other Stage 2003- so boring, I returned to my tent and wondered if the rest of the festival would be as under whelming!😂

 

[One Tonne Baby]

Not particularly proud but my first festival was 2010...and the first act on the Pyramid was...Rolf Harris...and I was drinking milk...

First act was Maximo Park at the Queen's Head on the Thursday in 2009 at 3pm. We were up and about but a little hungover so about 1 we were just like let's go and hang out around there for a couple of hours. Got food, couple of drinks and just sat near the edge of the tent, let it fill up around us and slipped in before it got completely full. Really enjoyed it, id heard about the romance of the special sets etc, and it showed the festival was something different to any other festival especially when Michael Eavis announced them on and I turned around to see how many people were outside! 

First proper acts were half of Bjorn Again and then Gabriella Cilmi on the Pyramid the next day. The former was...well....latter quite good actually. Good voice.

I cracked that joke to myself at the time, but was too ashamed to share it with others!😂

[nikkic]

Cribs opening The Other in 2007.

[Fanbloodytastic]

I think mine was James opening the Other in 2016. Did they do that or did I make it up?

Diving catch by Mik Artistik for me, I was on my way to the Pyramid when our man with a pocket full of straws saved me.
