Best Act of the Weekend

Kendrick, closely followed by Idles.

A draw between Amyl & the Sniffers and Skunk Anansie for me, closely followed by Pet Shop Boys. I generally dislike pop, but had forgotten how many good songs they have, plus the show was amazing. A joyous gay disco 🌈🕺💃

I only watched from home but Pet Shop Boys and Olivia Rodrigo were 1a and 1b for me, Pet Shop Boys maybe edged it

This year was my mainstream pop gig festival.  Normally see a diverse range at glastonbury but this year it was mainstream act after another and they all did a decent job of it.  No regrets, the bill was a bit weak Sat/Sun and too many acts I'd love to see were lost to clashes on the Friday but I managed a decent number of really top drawer gigs, hard to decide an order of quality when there was so much greatness about each.

Paul McCartney smashed it for me. Notable mention to Brass Against on the West Holts on Saturday morning. Thoroughly enjoyed a bit of a headbang to RATM, Tool and Led Zep tunes.

Kendrick,macca and confidence man were standouts for me will never watch sets like them again! Massive shout outs to Gabriel’s, GO A, haim and steam down

An unexpected, personal favorite. Was feeling pretty low Sat afternoon, wandering around and laying low. Then I heard this really tight-sounding band on the Avalon stage. The song they played when I properly started to watch them had this amazing, chorus-y, glossy 80s guitar, vocal melodies were amazing. I couldn’t help grinning, cause it was such a typical “Glstonbury moment”, random gem dicovering moments.

 Before that, I didn’t even know who ‘Tom Robinson Band’ were.

So definitely, my personal favorite act of 2022, ‘Still Loving You’ will be the song that reminds me of Glastonbury 2022 for years to come.

That was a really great set. We’d been at West Holts since morning (though I did wander off to see Katherine Priddy on the acoustic, who was just fantastic as well, but had a pitifully small crowd…indeed I couldn’t help thinking she’d have gone down well on Avalon a bit later). Anyway, after Yves Tumor (who was also bloody marvellous), we wandered around to Avalon and watched Tom Robinson followed by Johnny Cooper Clarke. Set us up nicely for the evening! On paper, Friday should have been my favourite day as I had a vast array of things I wanted to see. In reality, Saturday was by far my favourite day. Sun out, good company and great music (and poetry!).

McCartney 

[Little Andy]

Foals for me

(also loved my other 2 headliners, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar)

[FuzzyDunlop]

Biggest Surprise... Sam Fender. Went along on my own as all my mates were either: getting supplies or somewhere I didn't fancy.

I knew 3 of his tunes, but he's largely passed me by really.

Really enjoyable hour. The tunes had much more bang to them live & I was well impressed. If the next album does well - he's a headliner for sure.

The Waterboys, best gig I've seen
