How many of the lineup have you already seen?

[Jasonbee]

And how good/bad were they?

 

I have seen 10

Craig David (actually going to see him again tonight in Manchester)

Courteeners

George Ezra x2 - honestly one of the worst people I have ever seen no passion whatsoever

Clean Bandit x3 - Amazing live!

Annie Mac x2

Dizzee Rascal

Haim - So Good

Emeli Sande x2 - If you've not seen her, I'd recommend you make sure you see her she's so good!

Stormzy

Ed Sheeran x3 - must see him regardless whether you like him or not

 

who do you recommend I must see?

 

personally most excited for Katy Perry, Jacksons, Chic & Radiohead so hopefully no clashes there!

 

was supposed to see London Grammar but they cancelled a few years back, so would like to see them too

HAIM, Toots at previous Glastonburys and the Foo Fighters at City's Ground. The only one I'm certain to go back to is Toots. Others were OK but not must see agains.

Why on earth would you go and see an act you don't like?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Radiohead - brilliant.

The courteeners (shite) supported the stone roses,

Future islands x 2 - brilliant

Emeli Sande - not my usual thing, but she was very good.

Dizzee Rascal (shit) - supported the Prodigy

Blossoms - decent enough without setting the world alight

Sasha and John Digweed - loved them on their own and together

Kaiser Chiefs - I was that fucked I thought they were alright. Saw them again and realised my mistake.

Dj Shadow - Good

Dynamo - Magic

Annie Mac - Nah

Sleaford Mods - Enjoyable

Biffy Clyro - Shite

Royal Blood - Really enjoyed them twice

 

So not that much really

[chatty]

Courteeners - not my cup of tea. 

Foo Fighters - excellent

Royal Blood - really like their music but I got bored midway through their set, being on Sunday after four/five days heavy drinking didnt help theor cause mind. 

Alt-J - good live band but music isnt really my thing. 

Dizzee Rascal - never really listened to him before so wasnt into it, only saw a few songs. 

Warpaint - brilliant

Kaiser Chiefs - awful

British Sea Power - really enjoyed

Goldfrappp - thought were quality

[kaytee...]

Seen 40 of them already

Also after looking through the poster again I totally missed that First Aid Kit are playing so that'll be nice

stutheblue as in Stuart my name and the Blue as in Manchester City supporter for 50 years. Sorry bit lame.

 

Oh and I forgot saw the Kaiser Chiefs at Manchester Academy and really enjoyed it.

I was a bit down when I first saw the poster as there was literally nothing there that got me excited. I am working for Oxfam and was seriously thinking of cancelling and going to Beautiful days instead as there is about 20 acts on their line up that I would really enjoy. However I had a good think to myself last night and changed my mind. Going to have a good listen to lots of the bands I have never heard of and I know there will be loads of additions on the stages I spend most of my time at Acoustic and Avalon. Never seen a band at the Park or John Peel so will defo go there this year. These threads will get me fired up and excited again.

 

[mjsell]

Radiohead - obviously great

foo fighters - I enjoyed it for what it was

The XX - wasn't convinced, but am looking forward to giving them a second chance.

Biffy Clyro - seems I can never get away from them, always bang average.

Chic - party party party vibes, outshone Elton when i saw them (subbed him at Bestival) 

Major Lazer - had low expectations, was actually not that bad.

Alt-J - dragged along by a mate, thought it was pretty boring. 

Laura Marling - fantastic

Glass Animals - really great, would recommend

Craig David - absolute pile of w*nk. 

Declan Mckenna - enjoy immensely every time.

[verrymerry]

13/88

Radiohead, several times and always brilliant 

The National, I'll never not want to see them

Chic, West Holts whatever year it was, danced our Wellies off, it was so much fun! I probably won't see them this year because I think it might not live up to the memory!

28 of the blighters......with a few big exceptions, a lot of this year's highlights are probably gonna be acts I've seen before.

[Alex DeLarge]

Royal Blood - better live than on record, but if you've seen them once that's more than enough

Haim - surprisingly good!

Metronomy - lots of fun.

Run the Jewels - outstanding, some of the best live hip-hop I've ever seen.

The Avalanches - yawn, totally disappointed and I love their recorded stuff.

[garc1a]

Not that many.....

Toots and the maytals - sevral times, Surprised about the excitement for them on here. Decent bit of nostalgia.

Chic - missed them last glasto they done due to shifts and was gutted.. They smashed it at wickerman. Will be one hell of a party.

Mark lanegan - on the ballad of broken seas tpur with isobell campbell. Brilliant

Dizzee rascal - he is what he is.. Was worth it to hear bonkers live.

Flaming lips - a band ive never "got" on record but bloody good live.

[Ipayne]

Run the Jewels, Radiohead, Biffy, Foo's, Warpaint, Courteeners, Kaiser Chiefs, Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, Blossoms. 

All but Kaisers, Courteeners and Blossoms put on great live shows imo. Blossoms okay but nothing special, hated Kaiser's and Courteeners.

[Muppetmark]

The xx - they were really good at brixton last month. Would highly recomend 9/10

Chic - magical at hammersmith apollo 9/10

Major lazer - caught the last 5/10 minutes of his set at t in the park. Not my thing 3/10

Phoenix - saw them at reading 2013 and had a really good time 7.5/10

Dizzee rascal - seen him twice, 2012 at hyde park was great fun 8/10 but the following year he was dire 4/10. Overall 6/10

Clean bandit. They were fun supporting basement jaxx 2014 but theyre songs were samey even then. 6.5/10

The courteeners - even a daft punk snippet into lcd soundsystem's daft punk is playing at my house couldn't save the dull set they served at t in the park last year 4/10

Kaiser chiefs - both times I've seen them (2013/2016) theyve been fun until they started playing things from their upcoming albums, thankfully they only played 2 each time. 7/10

Future islands - Blew me awaybas support for arcade fire. 8.5/10

Frank carter and the rattlesnakes - saw them the first time as a support band to a gig i had been given a free ticket to. O had no idea what to expect and he delivered big time. Absolutely amazing performance. Seen him twice since and loved both times.  10/10
