The best of the last 5 years...

[DL50]

If there's more posts do you want to add up and see which bands have been the most popular over the last few years?

Cba to look at it all but i counted the headliners

So far Radiohead are by far the most popular Sunday headliner, Arcade Fire the most popular Saturday headliner and RATM narrowly edging the Cure as most popular Friday headliner

I found the Saturday main stage very difficult it seems to be generally the weakest day. Although Friday main I was spoilt for choice.

Take a couple off the 2012 total and stick them on 2008's and that's probably how I feel about the relative merits of each year. Would be very different if desire to see bands was somehow accounted for!

Can't believe how good the 2010 lineup was. To think, that was my first year, and it'll probably be the best I ever go to...
