I’d love a Tranquility Base-heavy Mellow Monkeys set.

Four Out of Five

Star Treatment

Cornerstone

Piledriver Waltz

American Sports

TBH&C

Love is a Laserquest

Batphone

One Point Perspective

Riot Van

Reckless Serenade

Suck it and See

That’s Where You’re Wrong

This set deserves A Certain Romance as a one-off classic closer

I've seen Arctics 7 times and Glasto 2013 was probably the worst of the lot. Maybe I had overhyped my expectation in the lead up, but I was at the back of the pit and the crowd had lost interest after the first 3-4 songs. Even Mardy Bum didn't bring things back up.

I saw AM in 2018 and was not that impressed, pretty dull live vs any other band just no energy at all. Seeing them again this year in Portugal and would defo see them at glasto though, they have the tunes!

Hi,

What seems like a lifetime ago I was signed up to a text service that someone was running over the course of the festival where they sent either confirmed secret set times or cryptic(ish) clues about the TBC's

Does this still exist and if so where do I sign up?

I wasn't at the 2013 set (opted for Portishead) but I've seen AM a number of times and thoroughly enjoyed each one! 

I have, however, realised how easy I am to please when it comes to live acts. Which is a good thing I suppose 😁

I think Friday 2013 was probably the biggest clashfest in the history of Glastonbury

I’ve said time and time again most of the “Arctics fucked it” narrative is driven by people who weren’t even there.

I had a great time that night.

I had a good time that night, they didn't 'fuck it' but neither was it one of the best headline sets ever like a previous poster stated. It wasn't even the best Pyramid headline set of that weekend.

Arctic Monkeys don’t have a problem producing great albums, they have a problem performing them.

Great albums. Absolute pony live.

(I’d still be there for a secret set though). 

Same opinion here. They are a studio band (and a fantastic one at that), not a live band.

Can’t believe me eyes. I’ve seen them at least twice on each tour since 2007 and I’ve always thought they were mega live. Glastonbury 2013 set was class. Last time I seen them at Sheffield they were class. One of the most consistent live bands I think. 
 

What exactly is it you think they’re lacking live?

They released a live DVD that featured zero crowd footage. That neatly sums up the AM live experience, that have absolutely no idea how to interact with a crowd.

Do you mean live at the apollo? Because I'm pretty sure that was filmed and screened live (directed by Richard Ayaoade!) and was a fairly different 'take' on a live DVD which might explain that stylistic decision a little. Fwiw I think they're a very very tight live band with an excellent back catalogue. I think their 2013 set is excellent but I've also seen them and they've not held the crowd (eg Leeds 2009 just after Humbug came out). I'd be there and I'd have a great time but horses for courses.

I know mate I’ve got the record. Sounds great to me. Don’t need a lead singer to lick my arse to enjoy a show and have always found it a bit bizarre that people did.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
