What did you all think of AM's 2013 set? 

Didn't see it.  But Chic on West Holts fucking smashed it.

Only reason i'd see AM again is the FOMO incase they play when the sun goes down, mardy bum or something

Take your headphones and listen to these songs what they’re on stage. 

Then you just have to pretend they’re miming badly, as opposed to not playing their best tracks and being absolute garbage live.

I'm 31 and my formative music years were in that period of fuck all, and yet Appetite for Destruction, an album released 4 years before I was born, was just the biggest thing amongst my friends for a while. They're the sound of immaturity to my ears now, mind

Also, Aerosmith's best known tune is a Run DMC track

It's actually an Aerosmith track from the mid-70s, which was then sampled by Run DMC and eventually re-recorded as a duet in the mid-80s. All the lyrics are Steven Tyler's

Arctic Monkeys are almost certainly playing.

GnR probably are too.

Aside from a guy who’s been right in the past (which admittedly isn’t nothing, but isn’t TBC worthy either), there’s nothing to believe AM are headlining other than a gig they’re playing in an adjacent country the same weekend. “Almost certainly” is almost certainly a reach. Probably is more like it. 

You’ve even less with GnR.

One of all time fav Glastonbury sets.

Waits for unnecessary sarcastic comments about being dangerous

It looked such a riot.

Their Bestival set that year was similarly enormous fun. 2013 Chic was a peak, as it felt quite special. They're absolute legends and always will be, but there's been so lots of chances to see them since then that it's dulled it a tiny bit.

Would still love them to come back and sub one day mind, but it would have to be the Friday or the Saturday for the party vibes.

I agree 2013 was peak as it felt special and a moment in time, before they became a constant feature of festival lineups every year since. The atmosphere in the field was one of the best I've ever experienced at Glasto, topped off by someone piping up behind me about 2/3rds of the way through their set sarcastically saying "I bet Arctic Monkeys would have been better than this shite!" to much laughter all round!

The clashes in 2013 though.  I have 'Nam style flashbacks to this day.  That Friday was awful for clashes all afternoon.  Right up until about an hour before I was still mumbling to myself "erm, Chic?.....Portishead.  No - Arctics.  NO!! Chic!.....Erm..."

Think I made the right choice in the end.

After seeing the rocket over the pyramid hint for Elton let’s hope in the not too distant future we see the festival post a photo hint of one of these flying over it😉

Trying to think of ways they could announce other acts is fun. Foals and Wet Leg are easy but The 1975 would surely require an interpretative dance tribute to the Fall of Saigon.

AM never featured in my plans. I chose them over Bjork in ‘07 (wtf!) and learned. So I started off at Chic. Realised that although I was enjoying it and it was about to go off, it wasn’t where I needed to be. I started explaining to my mate and she told me to go before I even got the words out. I started running and got to Other in time for The Rip and it was exactly where I needed to be. 

One of my best ever choices.

Absolutely over the moon with Elton John. If it's AM, I've seen them many times before and while I probably would enjoy it, Alex is the type who would not give a shit putting us through a full set of the sleazy lounge act. GnR not too fussed on but would be great for those who love 'em, and probably generally a good party. Honestly could do with some time off of Pyramid - this year I was there for so much of it, didn't make it to West Holts once!

Seeing Portishead that night was one of the best decision I've ever made at Glastonbury. Mesmerising from start to finish. Beth Gibbons had me in tears at least twice. 

One of the best sets I've ever seen down there, incredible experience.

I pity anyone who chose the fucking artic monkeys over that 😂

That Chic set was one for the ages. One of my most treasured memories on the farm.

I need this explained to me, though! What kind of bird is it?!

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
