maelzoid Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I think it was Billy Bragg, on the Pyramid in '93. It doesn't get more Glastonbury than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padjeq Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Santigold and Glasvegas (whichever came first) on what must've been William's Green on the thursday of 2008. We were just outside the tent and kept getting blasted by the pyramid speakers testing out with Hella Good by No Doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 A friend of a friends band called The Operation on the Wednesday in 2010, Fluffy Rock Cafe. Went back again on Thursday. They played my friends wedding a couple of years ago & they were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodiles Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 James other stage 2016 waited about an extra hour for it to start as they tried to cover the mud with wood chip. Well worth the wait glad my first band was someone I love. Started with nothing but love ...after a post Brexit rant as the vote was day b4 . Of my 3 festivitals 16 17 & 19 that one will always feel the best . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K2SO Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I think it was Kaiser Chiefs opening the Other Stage in 2014. Not great for some people on here, but I like them so not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat2 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 The Thrills 2005, and it was extra special because it was after the flood in 2005 and many acts were postponed earlier in the day at the Pyramid and their were rumours circulating that the festival might have to be cancelled. Then out of the gloom we gathered in front of the Pyramid and a band walked on and proclaimed "we are the Thrills" and the music started. What a feeling that was, pure ecstasy, the music was on!. Doubly helped by Doves playing a bit later than afternoon. A truly joyous afternoon in the mud and gloom, one of "those moments" for me, I will never forget it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing my hair Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Pumarosa, Williams Green, Thursday 2017. Isabel seemed a little pissed at the slot they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Deltron 3030, West Holts Stage, Friday 2014. Still one of my favourite sets and whole days at Glasto. I'm sure that I saw people on the Thursday but I definitely cannot remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrenVonBoathook Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 2005 Jazzworld Stage, Alabama 3. I think. They the first set I remember we probably intended to go and see, but being the first Glastonbury we had wondered around lost and would have passed a number of different bands before that, without being able to recall who they were. I think I was just to in awe of the everything around me and the extent of the flooding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefudgefactory Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 The first official set I saw was Rokia Traoré on the Pyramid in 2016. Unofficially though it would have been the GlastonBowie singalong that Thursday in the Pyramid field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flysheet Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 It was 1989 ffs I genuinely don’t remember! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassmin Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Somewhere Avalon ( I think) unknown band Friday afternoon 2002. It was great, pint and a toke, really chilled. The first I know the name of was Faithless on the Pyramid that evening. Any memory I had of it faded a long time ago, although I remember it was a beautiful evening!

El Matador Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 The View at lunchtime on the pyramid stage 2007. Was a weird slot for them and I don’t remember it being great. Actually 2007 was my first year and I don’t remember many great sets at all. Probably a mixture of the weather being a constant downer and not moving around the stages as much due to the mudbath. Super Furry Animals is the only set I remember loving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilton94 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Levellers 1994. I will never forget walking from the farm gate (With a borrowed residents ticket) down the hill in the early evening and seeing the festival for the first time. I had been brought up at the bath and west show and thought I knew what a crowd looked like. Changed me forever that moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoz Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Alt-J in Williams Green on the Thursday night in 2013 or whoever was on before them, can’t remember. It was absolutely superb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed for Inspiral Carpets & Echo and the Bunneymen immediately after. I remember Love on the Rocks very well. Inspirals were my first. Seem to remember the singer was shitfaced. Then Ian McCulloch was a bit odd, rambling on about Gateshead at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
