MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Hey all, thought I'd have a go at making an actual tiermaker thingy with all the headliners from 2008-2022. Always see a lot of chat/debate about who were an all time classic or who was average and thought it could be quite interesting to see all your different constellations. You can see mine below. Obviously, not everyone has seen every single headliner in this time live, but if you've seen the performance on iPlayer or YouTube, that's fair enough, you can use that to make up your opinion. It's all for fun/interest. Sure, the live experience might sway people either way, as well as mood at the time, how much you'd drunk etc, but like I say, it's just out of curiosity more than anything. PS - I chose to start from 2008 as I felt this is when there was more diversity in genre for headliners, plus the Tiermaker would start to look a lot busier and harder to read, plus a lot of the older headliners weren't/aren't available to see anymore, so I just stuck to the more modern headliners. Also, I'm aware Jay Z and KoL are duplicated - I don't know how to delete them in the editor... Had to take a screenshot of my tiermaker too, didn't know how to share the image otherwise. Feel free to share yours too! Any discussion is of course welcome, including tearing my Tiermaker to shreds if you so wish 😉 https://tiermaker.com/create/glastonbury-headliners-2008-2022-15282394 Edited August 18, 2022 by MEGATRONICMEATWAGON 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuttlep Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 funny when I see these things I realise how different and wonderful we all are , and how musical choice is just an opinion and everyone has a different one. although saying the foo fighters were bank average may cause a few fights. 😉 I was at Sasha and digweed in the glade and have never watched it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip997 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Interesting thanks for this. Something I've always wondered, is it the norm among most attendees to go to every headliner regardless? Personally I only watch Pyramid headliners if I really want to see them and if there's not a better option on West Holts/Other.

moogster Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 This made me realized I can count the amount of pyramid headliners I've seen (even counting partials) on one hand. Missing a finger or two. Yes, I did not see the Stones or Adele. Wasn't there in 2010 though but am sure I'd have gone to Stevie Wonder though.

The Stones were dreadful, I lasted about 15 minutes then legged it to Public Enemy who were truly brilliant. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I only watch Pyramid headliners if I really want to see them and if there's not a better option on West Holts/Other. Like I said in my origional post, I've only seen some of these live and a lot of them from iPlayer or YouTube, usually with a few drinks on the balcony during or after the festival. Many factors involved obv and it's 100% personal choice. Some of these bands/groups I just really don't like, so they have a huge amount of catching up to do to impress me, if you know what I mean.

mazola Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Here's mine then ** I'm not counting watching them on TV, if I wasn't there they are in the bottom rung Edited August 18, 2022 by mazola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmers_of_hope Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 This is a nice idea...I just can't look at it or do it because not seeing that blur set as an all timer is just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stones were dreadful, I lasted about 15 minutes then legged it to Public Enemy who were truly brilliant. We binned The Stones on the account of it would be far too busy, happened to be in the West Holts field gurning to Major Lazer and stayed for Public Enemy...loads of space to dance right at the front and then got into the SEC really quickly afterwards. No regrets whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Croc Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 I wasn't there but I've watched a lot of The Verve's set online and I thought it looked really good. Is the general consensus they weren't quite deserving of the slot so that's why people weren't fussed about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogster Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 I'm half remembering I went to Calexico and then... to the Bootleg beatles instead of the Stones I think??? Probably thought that was a rebellious move. The Verve looked really good to me on TV! But I do like them overall, playing their records lots as a student so probably biased.

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted August 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) So many people on here don't seem to understand that music is all about personal opinions, that's the whole point of why I did the tiermaker, so people could see that we all have different tastes and perspectives. There's no right or wrong answer, people! 😵 I'm sure if people did their tiermaker too and shared it, there would also be acts others would disagree with them about as well... That's the beauty of Glastonbury. Edited August 18, 2022 by MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough about the not watching it part. Can see we actually agree on some things even if we don't agree on Blur 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip997 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Here's a summary of what mine would be if I could be bothered: All time classic: Jay Z (2008), Beyonce (2011) Bang average: Stormzy (2019) - he was much better on The Other Stage (2017?) Very weak: Rolling Stones (2013) - they were like a cover band Didn't see/No interest - all the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
