Worst Clash?

[amfy]

Also - Blur V Prodigy is pretty much the only DEFINITE clash we know of so far. The timings on different stages during the day/early evening can vary and overlap in all kinds of ways so that you get there and find things you thought would clash don't after all.

The Specials/JamieT/Roots Manuva one looks pretty nailed on as well to be fair because it's close enough to the headliners not to move too much.

Blur V Prodigy is a nightmare. I was so excited when the Prodigy confirmed but this has just killed it. Sunday night has done this to me for the past 3 times I've gone - Chemical Brothers V Oasis, Verve V Groove Armada & now this. Each time I had chosen the guitar band I never thought I'd get to see, over the dance act I'd already seen (and loved), and I think I was wrong both times.

Exactly the same - seen and loved The Prodigy, never thought I'd get to see Blur. If I choose Blur will I be making the same mistake over and over, or will I finally get it right?

But don't think just 'cos Oasis and the Verve were bad choices that Blur will be 'cos although they're similar when compared with dance music, the songs and the shows are a completely different scene..

It is a tough one, but have a look at this and it may make your mind (only a short clip though)

The Chems clashed with the Who when they were on a Sunday, though they did clash with Oasis on a previous year on a Friday night.

There’s a few clashing headliners but I kind of right that off as inevitable. Day time, I’m not too chuffed about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Tom Jones. Dizzee Rascal Badly Drawn Boy and Passion Pit’s not welcome either!

[Messiah Jason]

My worst clash is between The Streets and British Sea Power as it stands, so nothing major.

Bit of bummer that I'll have to miss Jarvis and Prodigy but as they're againt Bruce Springsteen and Blur it's an easy choice for me.

Animal Collective against Neil Young also sucks . My thinking's that I'll probably get another chance to see Animal Collective sooner and cheaper.

There's always clashes, and you will always wonder whether you made the right choice, but thats the beauty of Glasto so just go with how you feel on the day.

All your well thought plans tend to just go out the window when you're at Jazzworld & the next act you want to see is at JP but oooh, there's fresh Brothers just 20 metres away and hey, that guy playing funky bongo music just behind you is making your hips shake

I have multiple clashes, at least one biggie each day, but there are also gaps that allow me to do a bit of bimbling and find new stuff so I'm not tied to the line-up. All good

[amfy]

You could never see Blur and have it be a mistake - they've got it all - the big, sing along slow ones (This Is A Low, To The End, The Universal, Tender, Beetlebum etc.), the big sing along faster ones (Parklife, Girls and Boys etc.), crazy, moshy ones (Song 2, Popscene), good, fun pop tunes (For Tomorrow etc.) and a lot that are bloody good and impossible to categorise (Bugman, Essex Dogs etc.)

So there should be something to keep everyone entertained, which is why I think that the Prodigy will seem a bit repetitive..

Having said this, it's about what you prefer, if you wanna dance like a crazy then go to Prodigy, don't go to Blur if it's not your kinda scene and then have a rotten time and regret your decision, as you said you have done previously.

But don't think just 'cos Oasis and the Verve were bad choices that Blur will be 'cos although they're similar when compared with dance music, the songs and the shows are a completely different scene..

argghhhh!

Potential Libs reunion on park stage/Pendulum and Kasabian!!

grrr

[LupineHowl]

Clashes all over the place for me!

Friday:

Steel Pulse/Easy Star All Stars

Dreadzone/Fleet Foxes

Saturday:

Bruce Springsteen/Bon Iver

Baaba Maal/M.Ward

Easy Star All Stars/Spinal Tap/Rokia Traore

Gaslight Anthem/CSN/Horace Andy

Tinariwen/Rolf Harris

Sunday:

Bon Iver/Tunng & Tinariwen

Still, no complaints - amazing lineup!

[Felna]

Fortunately a couple of clashes are sorted by the bands playing more than once, but I still have a couple of conundrums:

Neil Young/Doves

Nick Cave/Seth Lakeman

But the biggest dilemma for me is: Bruce/Franz/Jarvis/Wonder stuff - too many bands, so little time!

[mouth]

What's up with all the clashing? Is there a reason for it?

Surely beardy realises that people exist who want to see blur and prodigy? the dj yoda/deadmau5 thing is so annoying because people are bound to like one if they like the other.

Are clashes set up on purpose to make people choose and reduce numbers?

[Glazieyes]

Kasabian / Bruce Springsteen

Vs

Deadmau5 / 2 Many DJ's

I am in a right dilemma!!!

[Random-K]

Blur/Prodigy was a pain initially but I'm not as bothered now, I reckon Blur would be a pretty good ending to the weekend. Song #2 live anyone?

I think the one that'll cause a rift between me and the missus is the potential Manuva/Madness clash...

[evansonuk]

Thats by far the worst for me of the weekend, what a double header clash ffs!

but

as well as doves/bloc party/neil young clash(Fri night) BRUTAL

Kasabian then Bruce V Deadmau5 then 2manydjs (EVEN MORE BRUTAL Horrible decision for me!)

and ragin about the madness/dirty vegas(Sun afternoon) and blur/Prodigy clash(Sun night)!!

The Sunday Headliners are my worst nightmare.

I swore that I'd be there for The Bunnymen no matter what but blimey. Blur, Prodigy , Calvin Harris even if i stick to my guns, no one's going to come with me (not that, that has ever mattered.)

I'm not really complaining and I will solve it in the time honoured way, of getting completely bladdered and see what happens.

[freeak]

The Streets VS Jamie T is really annoying me. It would be so much better if the The Streets Headlined Jazz World instead of Q Tip.

[windy_miller]

potential rolf harris/ spinal tap....

[scudetto_boy]

Neil Young & ray Davies

&

Lilly Allen & Lady GaGa

[Saturday Boy]

Friday: Fairport Convention Vs The Horrors

[JamesMorgan]

so far its the biggies which are clashin for me.

kasabian v pendulum? im almost certain to see kasabian tho.

blur v prodigy v calvin harris looking like it'll be between blur & prodigy

i'm delighted with even thursdays lineup...ebony bones, metronomy & golden silvers....!

[spudzzz]

also - Blur vs Georgie Fame - think mrs spud will want blur - she likes pretty boys (although probably not so pretty now, not that I would know either way)
