Worst set you've ever seen at Glasto......

[swede]

Mine has to be BB King in 2011. Was expecting to see a legend and all I got was a guy sat on his arse fucking about. Ive never seen a guy empty the middle of that field so quick.

[zero000]

Paul Simon - I was bored shitless.

[Spindles]

My daughter dragged me along to see Kate Nash in 2010. It was a legendarily crap performance, which stands as being the worst thing I have seen anywhere. And I have seen Debbie Harry (twice) so that takes some REAL beating.

Dogstar (Keanu Reeves' band) played in 1999, no one paid any attention to the middle of the road pub band stuff they were playing, everyone was there to throw fruit...and throw it they did.

Feeder. Every performance, ever. I have been dragged repeatedly to feeder gigs for as long as they've been releasing their crap pop fodder and this has led to a deep anger at the people of Wales.

Paul Simon, not just because he didn't play a hit filled set, or his voice was off, but because he attracted the worst crowd of selfish c**ts I have ever encountered at Glastonbury. Foul.

[eFestivals]

Without a doubt: Happy Mondays, sometime around the early 90s.

They cleared the Pyramid field in a couple of songs.

I've only been to this year, but Beady Eye will take some beating.

all we need now is to find someone who is up to doing that that job.

1) I was at that BB King set I thought it was really good

-> Was expecting to see a legend and all I got was a guy sat on his arse fucking about

He is a legend, you saw him and he had a good time.. he was sat down the whole time because he was 86 or 87 at the time.....

2) Tame Impala 2011 was dire, terrible set they played with no enthusiasm at all... I promptly left and stumbled my way into DJ Yoda's AV show at the Glade which was much much much better.

Not a fan of BB but in a tick him off kinda way stayed for a few tracks, was ok.

Tame Impala were prob unenthusiastic due to being one of the 1st bands on and having a crowd of maybe 200 people paying attention (probably exaggerate the low number), guess they were little known at that point.

No low set for me, if I'm not liking what I'm hearing/seeing there's plenty more to do.

Radioheads not so secret secret slot in 2011

Was up on the hill which began to clear very quickly

[thesaint78]

Doubt many will agree with me but Paul Mccartney in 2004. Me and my mates gave him about 10 tracks until we were bored shitless and moved on and it seemed at the time that lots of people near us were doing the same!

I sometimes read on here how it was one of the greatest glasto sets ever, did it really improve that much! .

[rachbon]

Florence and the Machine in 2010. Awful.

She was singing over a backing track, talking utter shite and just being really annoying.

Did you know that she first played in the tea tent? She made sure everyone knew that!

Note Im referring to the set at 'The Park' where they had a large crowd who knew who they were... we came as a group of 4 all fans of the band and came to the conclusion it was bobbins.

[Filthy]

I walked off after a few songs of tame Impala at the park 2011 and I was a fan at the time. Thankfully they made up for it this year!

Worst set I accidentally heard was Jamie cullum on jazz world 2009. We were at our camp in Holts, his lounge covers of high and dry and thriller drove us screaming in terror from the campsite. Luckily we found refuge with Dr meaker in the glade

Kate Nash in '10 was definitely a shitter. for some reason i was a fan when i went to see her but i definitely haven't listened since. awful

[rubenz]

Probably The View a couple of years ago, not only was the music shit but I got hit on the head by a full can of lager and then a man collapsed in front of me foaming at the mouth so had to help drag him out to get help!

Kasabian in 2009, I was not in the best mood any way having just fallen flat on my face but they were awful! Really did seem to be pissed as farts.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Bodger & Badger yet.

[maninkilt]

Bodger and Badger are true pro's
