How Many From The Poster?

[Avalon_Fields]

Surprisingly few, and it’s around 1 out of 5 bands seen each year:

2014 - 6

2015 - 4

2016 - 4

2017 - 7

2019 - 8

There’s maybe 2 or 3 each year that in retrospect I really wish I’d seen.

[01seb]

2015 - 5

2017 - 12

2019 - 9

Probably reflects how strong each lineup has been for me. 2017 is by far my favourite lineup ever and 2015 was my least favourite lineup.

2017 - 5 (plus standing around at West Holts for an hour waiting for Toots) This was my first time, so as someone else mentioned, it became very much about being amazed by the festival and trying to explore every area away from the main stages. 
 

2019 - 3, Massively restricted by working 4x8 hour shifts Thursday to Sunday.

I've not counted ones I caught the end of but I guess if you intended to see them it would count? It's very rare I plan on seeing half a set, can only think of 2 since I've been going.

A few of mine are half sets, where artists clashed but they were playing close enough to each other that I could do a bit of both. 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

It's depressing looking through each one and seeing how much I missed. For someone who studies the poster in forensic detail, I have no idea how it happens. It's the beauty and tragedy of Glastonbury

[Losing my hair]

2017 - 7. Doesn't include hanging around waiting for Toots. 9 if I can include Elbow & Killers secret sets.

2019 - 7. Doesn't include hanging around waiting for Lauryn Hill before leaving 2 numbers in.

[John the Moth]

2014 - 10

2015 - 13

2016 - 7 (mud)

2017 -  10

2019 - 7 (heat)

Not including stroll-by’s but including unintended stopped-and-watched partial sets.

Edit: also not including those listed as ‘special guests’ who I did end up seeing under a strict definition of ‘named on the poster’ otherwise I’d be including loads under the ‘100s more to be announced’ banner 😉

3, 3, 5, 3, 6. Strangely, this is also the telephone number of an Islington flat where Arthur Dent went to a fancy dress party, and met a very nice young woman whom he totally blew it with

So close, only 22 odd billion out. 😁

6; 6; 7; 9; 11 .... but then this could be a memory thing.
