thesecretingredientiscrime Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 In this months Mixmag, it says Fatboy Slim has played more Glastonbury festivals than any band, artist, or dj. He says he first played in 1986, but has played at every one since 1997. I was wondering if this would be completely accurate. Wouldn't Bragg, or someone like Mik Artistic have played more?

fatyeti24 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 not a band or dj (though definitely an artist), but Attila has done every one since '83, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyuk Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 billy bragg, john otway, attila, jonathan kay? I've never seen Fatboy Slim at glasto. so i'm not convinced he's ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyt Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 It is certainly possible that Fatboy has played the most sets (seeing as he plays about 4 times, on average, every year) but, as others have stated, there are definitely acts that have been to more Glastonburys.

TheNewUnion Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I thought Stackridge had played every festival, but it turns out they played the 1st and the 40th, so I'm wrong, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Robson Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Kangaroo Moon have played every Glastonbury since 1992. This year we reckon they clocked up their 150th gig there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Wasn't Mik Artistik asked, it was on a thread here maybe a year ago, I've a feeling it was something like 100+ performances?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he still lives on with the Nik Turner Jam, which I stumbled upon. Really old guys playing endless sub-Hawkwind riffs, which admittedly I enjoyed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdusty surfer Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Yep, Nik Turner. He was always there and just didn't stop playing. Really didn't stop. He was sacked from Hawkwind because he wouldn't stop! Absolute legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
