I'll start - mine was Doves in the John Peel tent in 2009. Fair to say this is a great memory and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Never connected with Neil Young and my friends were seeing Bloc Party, so off I went with a random we met at the campsite to watch an absolute masterclass of a performance from nearly on the barrier. I'd love it for them to return at the next festival! Well sorry to disagree but Neil Young was brilliant. First Glastonbury festival, first headliner. Perfectomondo. edit : I am a big Doves fan and regret not seeing them but it’s Glastonbury and one learns that you miss out on loads of great stuff.......

One Tonne Baby Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Well..technically gorrilaz in 2010 but i was so bored we decided to wander to the other stage and happened across the end of an amazing flaming lips set. From a dull set to massive balloons, ticker tape, fireworks, the lot. First full set was the Sunday, Stevie Wonder. And it was amazing.

Avalon_Fields Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 REM, Pyramid 2003. One of the rare years I saw the full sets of all 3 headliners, Radiohead on the Saturday, Moby the Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neville Street Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 1987, either New Order on Friday or Elvis Costello on Saturday. Went back to Cardiff on Sunday to see David Bowie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clearest Blue Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Arcade Fire, 2014. I knew before it had even ended that I would be back to this festival every year it was on for as long as is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazwwe Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 4 hours ago, kingcrawler said: Same for me. Couldn’t have picked a better first headliner at the time for me and they were fantastic. I’d be surprised if they headlined again so I’m really glad I got to see them up there. I was listening to Reflektor today actually and it took me right back to them opening with it that night. Was a great night and they were on really good form. I think unless something insane happens I doubt they'd headline again so it was great to see it happen.

stuartbert two hats Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I heard some people dance and shout "turn it up" to Keith Flint+co dancing about the stage. With the music of Prodigy playing faintly in the background. Then my first proper headliner was Primal Scream in the dance tent the night after. They were fucking brilliant. I missed Radiohead, but I got over it... 20 years later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGABOWL Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 And another for REM in 2003 😀 Brilliant set, gutted it’s the 1999 one that’s on the BBC. Radiohead Saturday, Doves Sunday. Unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry bear Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Melanie, 1983. She was hardly big news by then, but then neither was the festival. A scheduled date by her at the Albert Hall the same year was cancelled due to poor ticket sales. She did her hits, had a kick-arse laser show (as did all the headliners back then), and a gentleman from the Hells Angels got up onstage and presented her with his jacket, for some reason. Different times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
