I’m beyond concerned of the rumour of no Prodigy.

 

it just had to happen 

Same here. 
I’ve seen them plenty of times with and without Flinty but to see them at Glastonbury would be something special.

This is gutting. The new album is really good and I can't make any dates on their tour. 

They’ll be announced as a headline for another festival next week, so all is not lost!

Incredible last time at the farm. I know Beyonce was widely well received and no-one will be able to genuinely prove who won...but QOTSA couldn't have been beaten that night.

That's just one interpretation of it. Arguably programming the Pyramid is a more difficult job as its got to maintain broad appeal ans also offering variety, a mix of genres and ages whilst maintaining the credibility of the festival to the watching world.

The dipshits wanging on about the picnic blanket brigade 😂😂😂 couldn't do half as good a job

Nailed it.

Especially the dipshits part.

Peaked too soon. Thought to myself "wow, this is really good", soon got bored. Not my sort of thing anyway so largely irrelevant but it seemed to be more focused on the show than the music. Any excitement as a casual observer wore away pretty quickly.

 

This sums up my experience of that night.

Loved the first few songs then got a bit bored and went to watch the second half of QOTSA.

Watched the full set back a couple of years ago when the BBC showed them all and it confirmed my feelings that night.

Queens were the best I’ve seen em that night! No regrets here.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Queen Bee doing Irreplaceable is kne of the all time great Glastonbury Moments..

I sint get it at the time....but the footage is fucking gold dust

 

[Zoo Music Girl]

That Beyonce set was one for the ages. I'm far from a mega fan but I still feel emotional thinking about how good it was. Wouldn't change a thing.

Mind you, QOTSA have always bored the shit out of me so wasn't much of a contest.

One of the best things ever to happen on El Pointo

Bey headlined just slightly before my Glasto years, but the set sounded magical to my ears. The crowd were magnificent as well, their quality no doubt increased by the absence of those who chose to watch QOTSA.

First time I’ve watched that back, thanks for sharing!

My memory of this was being surrounded by my female friends (and about 50 other women), honestly I couldn’t see another man near me.

So when Queen B first shouted “ladies your turn” the “to the left” part was deafening.

Then when she said “guys your turn” all my friends turned to look at me, as did a large amount of the women we were close to, not the kind of pressure my weary ass needed, croakily I shouted “to the left, to the left” and got a big cheer.

For those 90 minutes I was essentially on a hen party.

Even on years when I barely visit the Pyramid stage I always have to hand it to the bookers. Anyone who does just end up sitting there all day will inevitably come away with a new act they’ve never heard of before. The programming is always diverse and wide ranging. Not always to my taste but they do a terrific job.

Except for whoever booked the Friday in 2008. Hoo boy.

Thanks for that, sends shivers down my spine. The whole set was "One of the best things ever to happen on El Pointo"

I know we love an x is greater than y debate, but what if... they were both 10? 🤔

I don’t think the scoring system allows for that.

That's fine by me, as long as they are there.

All I said was that QOTSA couldn't have been beaten...the draw is on the table...but @ticketboy69makes a valid point...

[T-Mouse]

Portishead in 13 was the best thing I've ever seen on the other (and maybe in my life), but that Queens show was wonderful. A worthy second place in the other headliner tier list.
